Put out those pants, Kiki!
Actress Kirsten Dunst's PR campaign to spin her stay at Utah's Cirque Lodge treatment center has been working. Across the blogosphere, items are appearing in sympathy for courageous Kiki's fight against depression.

Handlers for Dunst, whose partying has earned her the nickname Drunkst, have been speading the word that she checked into Sundance's Cirque Lodge last winter for treatment of depression — not alcohol and drug abuse.

But the Defamer in Australia doesn't buy it, and quotes a Cirque Lodge spokesman:

We address chemical dependency issues. We're not at all a purely psychiatric facility like Bridges To Recovery, and each patient must undergo a detox for their chemical dependency, whether they're coming off benzos, you know, cocktails in a pill, or harder substances. We do treat underlying issues, but if someone is suffering solely from chronic depression, we're not the place to go.

Too depressed to even figure out how to put a bra on? Kirsten, you are a sweet girl, but you don't have the "goods" to be photographed with the girls hanging out like this.

Nobody cares.

Depression, drugs, terminal vapidity...

She's completely irrelevant.
