The weeklies are all weighing in on Kirsten Dunst's rumored stint at
Utah's swanky Cirque Lodge rehab center, although some are offering a slightly
more sympathetic take on her troubles than others.
"The party is finally over," a "pal" pronounces to Us Weekly (headline:
"Kirsten's Secret Demons"). "Her team basically said they'd dump her if she
didn't get cleaned up."
The magazine, along with People ("Latest Star in Rehab"), Star ("Last Call
for Kirsten"), OK! ("Kirsten's Rehab Hell") and Life & Style ("Kirsten's
Private Battle"), traces the turning point for the actress to the Sundance Film
Festival, when she was a no-show for a Glamour bash thrown in her honor after
reportedly whooping it up into the wee hours the night before.
"Kirsten was a mess at Sundance," alleges a spy to L&S.
(By the by, alcohol seems to be the consensus among the magazines, and her
rep declares to Us, "She is not being treated for cocaine or any drug.")
An insider informs People that Dunst is "not doing well. She's been crying a
lot lately, a lot built up. She's very scared."
Star also cites her supposed weepiness, claiming that when she checked into
Cirque, which Lindsay Lohan called home for several months last
year, "She was extremely emotional, constantly breaking down in tears. She's not
in a good place right now, but thankfully, she's getting the help she needs."
Speaking of her rehab check-in, Dunst has allegedly had a bumpy transition
into treatment.

"She is very emotional, crying and acting out with other patients," a snitch
asserts to In Touch, with another spy sniping to OK!, "She complains about
everything and acts like she's better than everyone else -- not a good sign in
terms of her recovery."
Theories on what prompted Kirsten's predicament range from her 2005 bust-up
with Jake Gyllenhaal (her rep tells Us that talk the actor
was "turned off" by her partying is "downright wrong") to her brief romance in
2007 with Razorlight front man Johnny Borrell ("When they split up," a
snitch tells L&S, "she fell apart and was worse than ever") to the death of
Heath Ledger.
"... When Heath Ledger died, Kirsten saw how dangerous partying could be. She
realized she had a problem and wanted to fix it," says the L&S mole, with
the source adding to People, "I'm sure the Heath Ledger thing put people over
the edge. People were pushing her to go in there ... She's been partying hard
for a while."
A friend tries to lend some perspective to People, explaining, "Everyone has
problems, but not everyone has to deal with them in a fishbowl. She's trying to
take a break. It's a great thing."
Adds a confidante to Us, "Kirsten will stay at Cirque as long as she needs."
