Kirsten is walking the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala in New York City tonight, wearing a gorgeous backless green feathered gown with a deep V-neck by Louis Vuitton. We have the first high quality photos for you in our Gallery!
Kirsten has a new photoshoot in the latest Bullett Magazine issue, in with she talked a little about her career.
About Lars quotes on Cannes, while promoting Melancholia:
“It was like your friend saying things you know he’s not wanting to say. At first he was trying to get a laugh, and then it just snowballed into word vomit coming out of his mouth. I was dying.”About the Spider-Man movies:
“I wish we could have done a fourth movie. We were like a family, plus, those movies gave me the means to not work as much, help my family, and do little indie projects that I made no money on. To many people, I’m still ‘that girl from Spider-Man.’”
Kirsten’s upcoming film The Two Faces of January has a 2-page feature in the latest issue of Empire. I have scanned the magazine and added it to the gallery, enjoy!
Garrett Hedlund – aka Kirsten’s boyfriend – is cover of Details magazine, and he mentioned her on the interview. Check the excerpts below, and to read the whole interview go to Details website.
On his relationship:
“Everything you ever knew seems to slowly be forgotten. All the good nights are just nights, all the good mornings are just mornings, all the dots in the sky are the same dots you’ve been looking at all your life.”On his courtship trip with Kirsten:
“I took her out on a 3 a.m. canoe ride, it was not a stable canoe. We fell out and had to swim back in mucky, s–ty water, like golf-pond water.”
Last month Kiki was cover of Italian magazine Tu Style, in an article to promote “Bachelorette”. My friend Claudia scanned the magazine, plus translated the article to English. Check scans in the gallery, and read the full article after the jump:
I love being a bitch!
On the movie “On The Road” she is a good girl in a beat clan. In “Bachelorette” she’s a bitchy maid of honour. And how is she? The most eclectical ‘indie’ of Hollywood plays Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. As she states “How boring to always be the good girl: let’s go bitches!”
Here is another interview Kirsten gave to the Australian press to promote Bachelorette a month or so ago:
Crashing the bridal party
The Age 20/10/2012“I’M ONE piece of a puzzle,” Kirsten Dunst says. She’s not being modest or enigmatic just matter-of-fact about the way filmmaking works. She is speaking from Greece, where she is in the midst of filming The Two Faces of January, an adaptation of a Patricia Highsmith thriller. Searching for a word, she apologises that her “brain is at half-mast” but she’s quick, thoughtful and relaxed.
Dunst, 30, has made more than 40 movies, moving seamlessly from child performer to teen movie star to romantic-comedy lead to an actor with apparently effortless clarity. Her first movie appearance was an uncredited role, at the age of six, in Woody Allen’s segment of New York Stories; she was Tom Hanks’ daughter in The Bonfire of the Vanities; and Amy in Gillian Armstrong’s Little Women.
In Interview with the Vampire, at 14, she seemed simultaneously youthful and ageless as a spookily precocious member of the undead, opposite Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. She has made films that have been box-office hits and critical favourites, such as the cheerleader movie Bring It On and the smart and soulful superhero movie Spider-Man (she has called Spider-Man an “independently minded blockbuster”).
There’s a lightness and a transparency but also an earthiness to her performances, whether she’s the love interest in Spider-Man or the office assistant in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or the dream girl at the centre of Sofia Coppola’s exquisite The Virgin Suicides.
Kirsten Dunst found turning 30 “stressful”.
The actress admitted that the milestone birthday freaked her out initially, but added she has since managed to relax and feels as young as ever.
The Bachelorette star also revealed that while she would like to have her own family, she doesn’t see a husband and children in her immediate future.
“Turning 30 was stressful, but I’ve stopped thinking about it and now I feel exactly how I did at 29. I would like to have kids and get married – one day,” she told German magazine TV Spielfilm.
Kirsten also spoke about the issue of jealousy in female friendships.
In Bachelorette, the star plays a bridesmaid who is annoyed that the girl she used to mock in high school is getting married before her.
The blonde beauty insisted that she isn’t as mean-spirited as her character.
“I think it depends on how happy you are within yourself, what you’ve been through. I, for one, was very happy when my best friend got engaged,” she said.
Kirsten Dunst is happy to be bridesmaid
KIRSTEN Dunst isn’t feeling any pressure to get hitched after spending her summer going to weddings.
“I was a bridesmaid, a maid of honour, went to another wedding … This was definitely a heavy wedding year for me.”
As her school friends walked one-by-one down the aisle, the 30-year-old claims to have felt no pressure to get her own marital act together.
“Not at all, no. All in the time that it should come,” Dunst says.
“I’m not worried. When you do worry, when you fixate on those things, that’s when it doesn’t happen. Like when you hear about couples who adopt a child and then they get pregnant, you know? That kind of psychology.
“When you’re not thinking about it, that’s when it comes your way.”
So Dunst is happy to remain a bridesmaid – for now, at least – even in her new movie, “Bachelorette”.
Riding a post-Bridesmaids appetite for female-led comedies, “Bachelorette” is an indie production focused on three emotionally-stunted women (Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Isla Fisher) who go off the deep end when the fourth wheel of their old high-school gang – Becky, the one they called “Pig Face” (Rebel Wilson) – is the first to get married.
Kristen Stewart: ‘I love Marylou. She jumps off the page and smacks you in the face’
On the Road’s Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst on how they brought Kerouac’s ‘silent heroines’ into sharper focus
For many, On the Road is primarily one for the boys. Jack Kerouac’s obsession with the egotistical and hedonistic drifter Neal Cassady dominates the book, with the female characters relegated to the back seat, disposable objects that float in and out of the tale at the convenience of the proto-beat lads.
That’s one view. But to director Walter Salles, the novel’s female characters, especially those based on Cassady’s long-suffering wives, are “the silent heroines” of the piece. Accordingly, he has cast two of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses – Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst – to play them.
Stewart is Marylou, the book’s version of Cassady’s first wife, LuAnne Henderson, who joined Cassady and Kerouac on their road trips across America; Dunst is Camille, aka second wife Carolyn Cassady, who stayed at home with the babies in San Francisco. Cassady flitted between these women, sleeping with Carolyn while married to LuAnne, keeping LuAnne as a lover after he had divorced her for Carolyn. Kerouac made little effort to give his female friends depth and dignity on the page; the film attempts to remedy that oversight.
Stewart’s prominence in the promotion of the film reflects both that intention and the Twilight star’s high profile. The 22-year-old also happens to be a surprisingly passionate fan of the book.
“On the Road was on the reading list in my freshman year and thank God, I chose it,” she recalls. “It looked much more fun than any of the others. I knew that it was about counterculture, and when you’re 14 years old and putting ridiculous anarchy signs on your backpack that’s just what you’re drawn to.
The Playlist came with a good one today: the first look of Kirsten and Viggo at “The Two Faces of January”. The thing is: production JUST started today, so filmmakers are really interested in getting buzz for the movie!
Marking the directorial debut of “Drive” writer Hossein Amini, the movie is based on the book by famed novelist Patricia Highsmith (“The Talented Mr. Ripley”), and follows a con artist (Mortensen) who is forced to flee Greece with his wife (Dunst) after accidentally (or not) killing a police officer. An American tutor agrees to help him out, and all three hightail it to Istanbul
“The Two Faces Of January” will have an international release on December 18, 2013.
