Actress Kirsten Dunst is clearing up the reason she went into rehab earlier this year.
Dunst told E! Online that it was for depression and not for alcohol or drugs.
The “Spider-Man” movie co-star said she was “struggling” and took the time to take care of herself at the noted private rehab facility, the Cirque Lodge in Utah.
“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,” Dunst told E!
Dunst, 26, said she’s now ready to talk about her problem because she feels stronger in the face of rampant media speculation.
“There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family,” Dunst told E! (Read the full post about ‘Kirsten Dunst Reveals Reason For Rehab’…)
LOS ANGELES — “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” actor Gary Dourdan has pleaded guilty to two of three counts of felony drug possession and avoided jail time in the process.
Dourdan’s lawyer said that once the actor completes 30 hours of a “diversion program,” his case will be dismissed with no jail time.

Finance Chair Marcus Oshiro points to some of Hawaii’s nonprofits who will be negatively impacted if grant funding is not released by June 30th.Concern is building around the fact that June 30th is just around the corner, and the Governor has not released the majority of grants-in-aid (GIA) appropriated last year. The GIA requests for operating funds will lapse if not released by this date. House and Senate leaders gathered in the rotunda today to urge the Governor to release the funds. In 2007, about $10.1 million in grants for operating funds was appropriated by the legislature. So far, about $2.6 million has been released.

Finance Chair Marcus Oshiro will appear on Bob Sandla’s public radio show, “The Business of the Arts”, airing Sunday, 6:00 p.m., on 88.1 KHPR-FM.
Tune in to a frank discussion on why the legislature was unable to fund grants-in-aid in 2008, and why Oshiro is frustrated by the fact that so many nonprofit organizations are still waiting for the Governor to release grants from 2007. What does this mean for the arts in particular?
On a related matter, the Senate and House leadership will join together to hold a press conference on Thursday, May 29th at 2:30 p.m. in the Capitol Rotunda. They’ll be urging the Governor to release the 2007 grant-in-aid monies before the lapse date of June 30th.
