KEY POINTS:

Sienna Miller

was in floods of tears yesterday after she was quizzed by paparazzi about her reported romance with married man and oil heir

Balthazar Getty

.

Miller was being chased by a bunch of lens lizards at a petrol station in Los Angeles when one of them piped up about her "alleged homewrecking". That's when she lost the plot.

The actress, who has been portrayed as a

homewrecker

after allegedly hooking up with father-of-four

Getty

, was visibly shaken and broke down in tears as paparazzi taunted her, says the

Daily Mail

.

When one of the paps asked her about Getty's estranged wife

Rosetta

, Miller snapped: "Can you leave me alone, I'm trying to get gas and this is really harassment. Please leave me alone.

"Please I'm asking you. I can't live like this, please give me a little bit of respect.

"I'm just trying to f**king fill up my car."

After filling her car with petrol, Miller made a dash for the local cop shop and filed a complaint against the paps. She then bagged herself a police escort to her hotel.

Miller is currently in LA with Getty and has been

photographed with him

on several occasions - despite rumours that the pair had called off their affair.

Earlier this week it was reported that Miller had begged Getty to help save her career - by getting his wife to admit that their marriage was over before Miller came on the scene.

Some might say to Miller "you've made your bed, now lie in it", but I think the paparazzi hounding is a step too far. What do you think? Do you feel sorry for her?

of herself, holding a sign that read, "

Her intention: to create mass hysteria and fool us into believing the mug shots were real.

After the sad snaps spread like a virus over the interwebnet, Hogan posted this gem on her MySpace:

"LOL poor press and clingy gossip lovers....

She rants on her MySpace blog: "I wore a loose fitting T-shirt. It was very hot in London and it's no secret I don't like wearing bras.

"My boob fell out twice and people on the blogs are saying it was a publicity stunt.

"Can I just say, I have been keeping myself very much to myself recently. I've been gardening, decorating my new flat and looking after my grieving grandfather.

"If I wanted publicity, I'd be accepting invitations, not to mention money, for turning up to glamorous events."

I've popped a bra in the post to you, Allen. How's that for support?

He tells Britain's

"I think their fans are boring and ugly and they don't look like they're having a good time."

Idiot.

Quote of the day

"I don't require hair or nail appointments. I actually cut my own hair - that's why it's all the same length. I don't like divas and I don't want to be one. People have a perception that I might be that way but it's not true."

Is

Paul McCartney

Macca's already been romantically linked to

Nancy Shevall

- an American heiress.

Well, several news reports say that Macca's been spotted out shopping in a London jewelers for rings.

British tabloid the

News of The World

says that the pair has also sought the blessing of their respective families.

A snitch says: "Paul's utterly enchanted with Nancy and he's already rolling the idea of marriage around in his head. He adores everything about her. He thinks she's 'The One' and told (his daughter) Stella as much.

"He said, 'What would you say if I asked Nancy to be the next Mrs McCartney?' And she joked back, 'At least she's financially independent.' The whole family thinks Nancy's great - a vast improvement on Paul's last love interest."

Ooh, miaow!

"They've been with each other 24/7 - a perfect way to see if they're suitable for marriage. Paul's not about to rush into anything, but he's happier than he's been for years. They've got so much in common.

"He knows Heather was a mistake, although he loves their little one (daughter) Bea more than anything, and won't be put off by a bad divorce experience," the source adds.

A snitch (God, I love that word) tells Britain's

Now

magazine:

"This is phase three of her transformation, which began in 2005," says the source.

"She's booked in for a consultation to see if anything can be done about her arms,"

They mean these

sinewy jobbies.

"There's an operation you can have to remove excess skin from your armpits; this can happen to women who exercise and diet too much. She also wants to know if there's anything that can be done which will reduce the appearance of veins and muscles and she's even planning a boob job."

The star told a US talk show, "I actually dropped the soap.

Applegate update

fame confirmed last week that she was

diagnosed with breast cancer

following a MRI scan ordered by her doctor.

Sadly, new reports say that Applegate will now have both breasts removed in a bid to combat the disease.

Her rep says: "The operation was the ultimate preventive measure. Her doctors were taking no chances that the cancer could spread to the other breast even if only one breast was initially involved in the diagnosis. After the operations, Christina reminded herself that her mom is the classic example of a courageous cancer survivor."

Applegate's mother - a two-time breast cancer survivor - also had a double mastectomy in 1977.

Strength and honour, Applegate.
