Dunst

Kirsten Dunst, 26, graces the October cover of Harper's Bazaar, out Sept. 23.
She can be seen next playing a celebrity journalist in the comedy "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People," out Oct. 3, based on the hit memoir by a British writer who goes to work for Vanity Fair.

Dunst talks about seeking treatment for depression at Utah's Cirque Lodge:
"When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you're performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who's dependent on other people's approval. If I'd trusted myself and listened to myself all the times that I ignored myself, I would have been fine. But everyone has to learn their lesson, and now I've got it... I don't want to go into too much detail because I give a quote and the it's blogged about for the rest of my life on the Internet."

On the Beatrice Inn being a favorite New York hangout:
"They keep people out who will write stuff and blog about it. But I'm not going to go there if what I do is written about. I'm very aware. I'm like an eagle eye. I'm not free as a bird (when I'm there) but I love to dance. And I literally have gone up to people and said, 'Did you just take my picture?' I have to protect myself."

And rumors like the one linking her to Mac guy and Drew Barrymore ex Justin Long,
"[They] are the funniest thing on planet Earth. I don't know him from Adam. I met him once and he and his friend were kind enough to walk me home. I've never seen him since."

On her future:
"I can't wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake."

I remember a movie critic describing her as the girl who works at the local burger joint. A shade above plain, but just a shade. Hence the overdone mag cover.

I'd like to ask Kirsten if she's doing Spiderman 4 and if Toby's being replaced by Jake Gyllenhaal.

Nope the only person high here is the one who thinks THAT is a good picture of her. Try reading more closely. I said she is a beautiful woman but this picture of her is not very good. Looks almost clownish.

Good for her for talking about depression as an illness, not something of which to be ashamed.

How brave and caring of her to come out about depression.

It helps others.

She wasn't depressed. She was drunk. She was drunk all the time. The depression crap is a ruse. She went to rehab to stop drinking or to time out from it. Everyone in Hollywood knew that.

perhaps she was drinking as a mood modifier. People drink for all sorts of reasons, including depression.

And you know this, how?

I'm surprised that more actresses don't become depressed given their career-stoked need to wrap their self-esteem up in the approval of others. I think that's why so many of them end up on alcohol or pills to escape the pain of public rejection.

With regard to her comments about Justin Long, I wonder why she feels that she has to lie about her relationship with him. After all, she has been photographed with him on at least ten different occasions.

Depression, like other diseases is not fair game for derision. I'm glad she is getting treatment.

You know it's a good cover when they make your teeth look less jacked.
