Kirsten Dunst, the latest star child gone bad, has checked into rehab according to Star magazine.  Dunst has checked into the Cirque Lodge in Utah.  She partied so hard at the Sundance Festival, which takes place in Utah, that she decided to stay for some rehab.

Spider-Man’s Mary Jane made the decision to follow in the footsteps of Cirque patients such as Lindsay Lohan and Richie Sambora — after a week of wild parties at last month’s Sundance Film Festival. Fellow actress Eva Mendes also in the mountaintop facility right now. Mary-Kate Olsen was treated at Cirque for food issues.

“She desperately needed help,” a source in Utah tells Star. “She seemed to be intoxicated when she checked in because she was acting really erratic. She was extremely emotional, constantly breaking down in tears.

Rehab sounds like a lot of fun.  It sounds like a break from the real world to go horseback riding, play board games and talk with people who have even more problems than yourself.  I am considering an addiction so I can gain a fast track pass to Cirque or Promises in Malibu.

Playing a vampire at age 12 (Interview with the Vampire) is always a clue that rehab is likely in your future.  We had posted last week that she was next in line for the mental ward.  Rehab is sort of so 2007.  Maybe she isn’t A-list enough for the psych ward.
