| Dunst gives in-sight on co-star Bryce Dallas Howard
Kirsten Dunst,who plays the role of the beautiful Mary-Jane Watson,Peter Parker's girlfriend,in the third installment of Spider-man,takes time to chat about having another leading lady on the set... If you remember in the early comics Gwen Stacey is killed by the Green Goblin(Amazing Spider-man #121). In the first Spider-man movie, the Goblin drops Mary-Jane to her death, only to be angered in dis-belief,after Spidey's quick heroics rescues the damsel in dis-stress. In the Comic Book Gwen Stacy isn't so lucky. I believe that Mary-Jane was used in the Origon of Spider-man due to her popularity during the generation gaps. So it will be intresting to see how Rami's version of Gwen Stacey up-holds to the comic book story line. .
Hollywood queen keeps her head
Having faced the expectation of the entertainment industry since the age of three, Kirsten Dunst admits she feels a kinship with the historical figure of Marie Antoinette. "I understand the pressures to perform in a certain way: to be young and to have a lot of people expecting things of you, and you kind of wanting to get away from that and do other things," Dunst says about playing the young Austrian - who at the age of 15 became the monarch of France - in Sofia Coppola's period piece on 18th century Versailles decadence. Pacing a room of a Beverly Hills hotel, clutching a mug of coffee, Dunst seems a little despondent. Her unease is from playing the part of Hollywood princess, having spent a whole day answering frivolous questions on fame and fashion. "When I come and do these things it reminds me of this weird position that people see me in," she says, as we take a seat for her final interview of the day.
Fox has two film gifts
Above, Tobey Maquire as Spider-Man has Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson in his web. At right, Cuba Gooding Jr. stars as the title character in Radio. `Spider-Man,' `Radio' air Christmas Eve, Day; it's your choice on opening these television presents Tired of holiday specials, but looking for something the family can watch together? If there's nothing in your DVD collection that the family can agree on, Fox has a couple of broadcast suggestions. On Sunday, Christmas Eve, the network will air Spider-Man from 7:30 to 10 p.m. On Monday, Christmas Day, it will have Radio from 8 to 10 p.m. Fox is calling those telecasts a two-night family-movie marathon. How much you agree will depend on (a) to what degree the network edits the movies, especially Spider-Man, and (b) what your family can endure.
Angelina Jolie, Kirsten Dunst Butt Heads with Vogue
Angelina Jolie cultivates a reputation as a Hollywood outsider who cares so little about her press, she doesn't even have a publicist. But Vogue learned otherwise while preparing to profile the orphan-collecting actress for its January issue. According to a source, Jolie initially objected to the magazine's choice of writer to conduct the interview, Jonathan Van Meter. "There was a line in a previous story he had written that had pissed her off," says the source. Perhaps it was the part in Van Meter's April cover feature on Jennifer Aniston where he notes that the home-wrecking Jolie and her new boyfriend Brad Pitt "began to seem faintly ridiculous" as they traveled the world playing diplomats? At any rate, Jolie backed down in the end, and Van Meter conducted the interview.
LIU SHOCKED BY RIDICULOUS CHINESE AIDS 'CURES'
UNICEF ambassador LUCY LIU felt compelled to play a pregnant Chinese girl with AIDS in new movie 3 NEEDLES after learning of the methods hill tribes use to battle the killer disease. The CHARLIE'S ANGELS star agreed to play JIN PING in the harrowing new film for next to nothing because she felt the world needed to know how the ill-informed indigenous of China and Thailand treat HIV and AIDS. She says, "I learned a lot about the different voodoos and the different ideas that people had about how they could get rid of HIV. "They thought there was a cure in having sex with a virgin or with a baby. "My character, who has the disease, doesn't know what it is and she's pregnant. So when she goes to the doctor she finds out she can't breast feed because that's a way you can give the disease to the baby." .
