Kirsten Dunst Opens Up About Depression
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Parties,
Although she was seen having a lot of fun earlier this year, Kirsten Dunst would like to make something clear: her visit to rehab had nothing to do with partying.
Dunst - who is currently filming All Good Things - spoke exclusively to E! about her recent stint at a popular treatment facility. The 26-year-old said she sought help for matters not related to substances. “I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression.”
While some had speculated that Heath Ledger’s death might have prompted her admittance, the actress says the decision was actually months in coming:
“It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”
Well, let’s hope Dunst was able to receive the help she needed. We’ve all seen how well Lindsay Lohan did after leaving the Lodge…

Eva Mendes Vacations in Rehab
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies,
Who says the writers’ strike doesn’t have its benefits? It’s allowing celebrities more time to check into rehab!
Eva Mendes, the star of the abysmally-awful Ghost Rider, has decided to make use of her time off work to put some things in order. (Un)fortunately for her, no one has noticed her absence— she’s been seeking ‘substance abuse’ treatment for several weeks!
Her rep confirmed the news to TMZ:
“Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva’s privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details.”
Eva, 33, is currently holed up at the Cirque Lodge in Utah. (Two points to those who immediately remembered Lindsay Lohan’s stay in that same facility.) The actress can next be seen this fall in the remake of The Women.
