Kirsten Dunst checks into rehab

Kirsten Dunst has become the latest celebrity to check into rehab.

The Spider-Man actress has joined Eva Mendes at the Cirque Lodge clinic in Utah, where Lindsay Lohan underwent a two-month treatment programme last year.

A source told Star magazine: “She desperately needed help. She seemed to be intoxicated when she checked in because she was acting really erratic.

"She was extremely emotional, constantly breaking down in tears. She is not in a good place right now, but thankfully, she’s getting the help she needs.”

Dunst, 25, recently dismissed rumours that she was having a breakdown after being spotted behaving "oddly" during a week of partying at the Sundance Film Festival.
