They struck up a close friendship on the set of The Edge Of Love, which premiered in London last week, but there’s more than a bit of professional rivalry between Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller.
According to my sources, Sienna is ‘totally miffed’ that Keira is in final-stage talks to take the part of Eliza Doolittle in Cameron Mackintosh’s remake of the classic musical My Fair Lady.

The 26-year-old actress, who has split from her actor boyfriend Rhys Ifans, had set her heart on the role, played in the 1964 original by Audrey Hepburn.
Family friends say she was having singing lessons to make sure she was pitch perfect.

Sienna was taking it all very seriously, I’m told.
‘She even told Keira she wanted the part when they were shooting The Edge Of Love, but Keira went for the part anyway and now it looks as if she’s got it,’ says a source.
