Rhys proposes to Sienna with perfume? - Feb 28 2008
Rhys Ifans has apparently stepped up his efforts to woo Sienna Miller, by hiding a string of marriage proposals in a set of her favourite perfume.

The Notting Hill star, 39, hid the notes in a full range of Acqua Di Parma Iris Nobile products he bought Sienna to take with her to Los Angeles where she is filming GI Joe, reports the Daily Express.

A source was quoted as saying: "He packed the perfume, soaps and body milk into the bottom of her suitcase. He stuck a marriage proposal at the bottom of each individually wrapped bottle using a secret system of letters and numbers, because she is working on a film where she has to learn to decipher codes."

And Rhys is apparently very pleased with his efforts. "He thinks his plan is ingenious. He spent ages working on it," added the insider.

It's not the first time the Notting Hill star has proposed to 26-year-old Sienna. On her birthday in December, he reportedly popped the question by writing her a poem called Marry This Misfit.

Rhys to land Doctor Who role? - Dec 19 2007
Rhys Ifans could be set to take the keys to the Tardis from Doctor Who’s David Tennant, according to reports that he is next in line to play the Timelord.

David’s co-star Catherine Tate recently let it slip to Jonathan Ross on his Radio 2 show that the next series of the hit BBC One show "may be David’s last" and now it seems Notting Hill actor Rhys is being tipped as the "frontrunner", reports the Daily Express.

A show insider was quoted as saying: "It’s felt that Rhys would bring very different dimensions to the role and would make a more maverick, slightly menacing Doctor, perhaps more in the Tom Baker mould."

But shaggy-haired Rhys, 39, who is currently rumoured to be dating Hollywood starlet Sienna Miller, might have some competition for the role - from Cold Feet actor James Nesbitt.

And there are also reports that Jennifer Saunders could play the Timelord in a special one-off episode.

But a spokeswoman for the show refused to respond to the suggestions, saying: "I’m afraid we don’t comment on future storylines."

Sienna and Rhys engaged? - Nov 8 2007
They have only just come out as couple, but it seems Sienna Miller might have taken her relationship with Rhys Ifans to another level, if rumours of an engagement are to be believed.

The Stardust actress, 25, is said to have been coy when asked by friends if the couple plan to wed, after Rhys apparently proposed with a self-penned ditty, titled Marry This Misfit, reports the Daily Mirror.

A source said: "She fell about laughing, but soon realised Rhys was serious. While she didn’t give him an answer straight away, she’s since been thinking about it more and more."

But friends of the star apparently believe the pair could already be engaged in secret.

One told the paper: "After telling people about Rhys’s strange proposal, Sienna’s been very coy about what her answer was. She’s been fudging the issue with mates and lots of people are starting to think that she may have even said yes."
