Actress Kirsten Dunst was honored for her tireless charity work at a glitzy ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The Spider-Man star is a long-time supporter of The Art of Elysium, an organization which helps celebrities visit sick children in hospital.

Dunst regularly volunteers her services – along with stars including Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox and Eljiah Wood - and charity bosses praised her ongoing support at a gala in L.A.

Dunst says, “I’m grateful to be allowed to be of service. It’s really lovely.”

Wood, who was also at the ceremony, adds, “They essentially bring the arts community to children’s hospitals.”

Pattinson To Replace Maguire In Spider-man 4?

Filed under: Kirsten Dunst, Robert Pattinson, Twilight, Zac Efron

British actor Robert Pattinson is set to swing into action to replace Tobey Maguire in Spider-man 4, according to a U.K. report.

The Twilight hunk is reportedly the top choice with Columbia executives to star in the film, after Maguire pulled out last week over a reported script issue.

Movie bosses are planning to make a prequel about Spider-Man’s alter-ego, Peter Parker, as a teenager instead – and Pattinson is the hot favorite to land the role.

A source says,

“The buzz in Hollywood is all about R-Patz as the hot, young thing being lined up to fill Tobey Maguire’s shoes. It would be a hard act to follow as fans were traumatised at the news Tobey was going.

“His mild-mannered portrayal as Peter Parker and the transformation to Spider-Man kept millions of fans in the cinemas for the box-office smash. He also had great chemistry with Kirsten Dunst, who plays love interest Mary Jane.”

But Pattinson faces tough competition for the coveted role – High School Musical star Zac Efron also has his eye on playing the web-slinger.

He says, “I don’t know what the chances are to be honest. I assume they’re pretty slim. It’s a long-shot but if it came down to it, it’d be a dream come true. What young actor wouldn’t?”

Wow two great choices Pattinson or Efron. How fucked up are studio execs?

Dunst Crashes Party To Land New Role

Filed under: Kirsten Dunst

Actress Kirsten Dunst put on a show for stunned party goers in New York – after crashing a bash for Oscar-winning director Jane Campion to perform an impromptu audition.

The Spider-Man star showed up uninvited to a luncheon at the posh Plaza Hotel’s Oak Room on Tuesday held in Campion’s honor.

Reports suggest Dunst is vying for a role in the filmmaker’s latest project, Runaway – based on a book of short stories by Canadian writer Alice Munro.

According to the New York Daily News, the star amused guests with a shameless show to get the director’s attention.

A source tells the newspaper, “Kirsten is tap-dancing like crazy to get a job!”

Is this bitch out of her mind? I’m dying to know what Campion thought of this. Doing something like this there is a good chance you do more harm then good.

I guess old Dunst must have been whacked out of her mind on something, this just isn’t normal behavior.
