A silver-tongued Aussie DJ managed to press all of

Sienna Miller's

buttons this week, after he brought up one seriously touchy subject...her on/off guy candy

Balthazar Getty

Tabloid 'bad girl' Miller, currently promoting her new flick

GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra

, let rip at Aussie station Fox FM's reporter

Adam Richard

during a phone interview, after he brought up the love that dare not speak its name.

In and out of lurve

Getty and Miller have been on and off the carousel of love for what seems like a showbiz age (it's actually more like a year, but still). The last we heard the fickle pair was all set to

shack up together

in a bid to give their romance a re-start.

Audio: Listen to a snippet from the radio interview here

Douche bag

Richard interviewed Miller and co-star

Rachel Nichols

on the

Matt & Jo

radio show, and slyly probed Nichols on what it was like working with Getty on spy TV series

Alias

Asked whether she thought Getty was "one of the most gorgeous men she'd ever seen", Nichols politely replied: "I'm lucky enough to have a job where I get to see lots of gorgeous men. But yes, yes I would definitely say he's, erm, definitely not ugly."

Following which he teased Miller and asked: "Sienna, you've met (Balthazar) haven't you?"

Subtle. There's a part of us that actually feels a wee bit of sympathy for Miller - what with being at the receiving end of an interview technique straight out of a Dummies' handbook. But the damsel's reaction was slightly OTT.

'P*** off!"

"Oh, p*** off," Miller responded. "Honestly, we're here to talk about a film. You've called us scags, bitches, knocked up - we're not here to talk about him. But yes, as you know, I've met him.

She added sarcastically: "What a scoop! Congratulations! You're really, really clever!"

Richard then apologised by saying: "I didn't mean to step on your toes."

While Miller, still fuming, hissed back: "You're going there."

Earlier in the interview the DJ had reportedly referred to Nichols as "the green b**** from

Star Trek

and asked Miller if she'd been cast in

because of her bad girl rep.

"Don't you dare even go there," she fumed. "And no, I'm an actress. I don't think I am a bad girl, but thanks for calling me that... d*****bag."

Don't go there

Miller had predictably vetoed any questions relating to her personal life while on the promotional treadmill. But Richard dared to traverse the invisible "no-no" boundary and socked it to the actress who is, let's be honest, famous for being famous and a one-time

Jude Law

eye candy.

Oh, Miller. With a chequered love life like yours, journos are bound to ask questions about Gettygate and delve into areas that make you go "hmmmm". Calm down, before you wet yourself…oops,

too late

Madge says 'no'

Madonna

certainly won't win any popularity contests anytime soon - not if this gossip morsel is to be beleived.

Britian's

Sun

tabloid reports that her Madgesty has allegedly refused to co-operate with officials investigating the

stage collapse

which killed two and injured nine last week.

Snitches say Madge had "declined" to be interviewed by investigators.

A legal source said: "She let us know it was impossible. We noted it in the procedure. We regret her refusal."

Meanwhile, an emotional Madge broke down in tears during a concert in Italy last week - as she paid tribute to the two men killed during the stage collapse.

Addressing the fevered crowd in her plummy best, she declared: "I hate to be associated with suffering. I want to pay tribute to their families. Let's take a moment to appreciate our family, loved ones, friends around us."

Lovely sentiment. Only something clearly got lost in translation...the Italians didn't get.

Watch the audience cheer and clap as she sobs and struggles through her performance of

You Must Love Me

Squirm.

Slamming Swayze

Battling

Patrick Swayze

has slammed a tabloid report that he recently suffered a heart attack.

Earlier this week, the

National Enquirer

(sigh) claimed that Swayze, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, suffered a heart attack.

"The shocking discovery was made during a routine appointment with his doctors - and it created a terrible dilemma for the star and his doctors," the tabloid screamed.

The

Enquirer

speculated that he drugs fighting Swayze’s cancer might have triggered the attack.

Total cobblers, says Swayze.

His spokesperson says, “He’s well. He’s continuing his treatment and doing very well, actually. Contrary to reports, he did not suffer a heart attack and has even gained a little weight.”

Slam dunk

It was billed as his big comeback gig, but things went a wee bit wrong for soon-to-be divorced

Peter Andre

when he took to the stage in the UK last week.

Bless.

Move along...

There's nothing to see here.

Mischa Barton

, who was recently hospitlaised for an "undisclosed medical condition", is

on the mend

says her rep.

Tongues have been wagging about the starlet's mental health after news broke on Friday that the former

star had reportedly been placed under

involuntary psychiatric hold

She reportedly called cops to her Hollywood home to "assist" her with a medical issue. The general vibe is that she pulled a

Britney

and was placed under a 5150 order - an order that allows authorities to hold a person involuntarily (for up to 72 hours) if they present a danger to themselves or others.

Anyway...

Video footage of Barton shot two weeks before her hospital stint has emerged. And, well, we can't quite put our finger on it, but she doesn't seem her usual self.

Super freak

The

Michael Jackson

eulogising stops right here - thanks to Brit actor

Rupert Everett

Talking about the glittery gloved one's passing in a recent interview, Everett described Jackson as a "freak".

"I think it was fortuitous that he died," he said.

"He was supposed to be doing 50 concerts in London. It wouldn’t have mattered how good or bad he was.

"He wouldn’t have managed to do all of them and the press would have destroyed him.’

"He was a freak. He looked like a character from Shrek. He was a black to white minstrel,’ Everett told the

Daily Mirror

"He was crucified by that court case when he was accused of child molestation – that killed him.

"He personified the pain and anxiety of a black man in a slave country. We all watched as he changed from black to white. He was living performance art."

Soulful Stink

Our favourite mobile tabloid

Amy Winehouse

is all set to launch her own perfume line, according to reports.

The

Rehab

singer is said to be angling for a deal worth a whopping US$750,000 to launch the stink with her father,

Mitch

A snitch tells the

Daily Star

: "Mitch is keen to license Amy's name to a perfume house. He has been in talks with manufacturers and contacted PR firms for advice. They want it to reflect her style with a classic smoky 1950s look and smell. Amy is keen to expand her brand and wants to latch on to the celeb perfumes bandwagon while she can."
