Kirsten Dunst, 26, graces the October cover of Harper's Bazaar, out Sept. 23.
She can be seen next playing a celebrity journalist in the comedy "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People," out Oct. 3, based on the hit memoir by a British writer who goes to work for Vanity Fair.

Dunst talks about seeking treatment for depression at Utah's Cirque Lodge:
"When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you're performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who's dependent on other people's approval. If I'd trusted myself and listened to myself all the times that I ignored myself, I would have been fine. But everyone has to learn their lesson, and now I've got it... I don't want to go into too much detail because I give a quote and the it's blogged about for the rest of my life on the Internet."

On the Beatrice Inn being a favorite New York hangout:
"They keep people out who will write stuff and blog about it. But I'm not going to go there if what I do is written about. I'm very aware. I'm like an eagle eye. I'm not free as a bird (when I'm there) but I love to dance. And I literally have gone up to people and said, 'Did you just take my picture?' I have to protect myself."

And rumors like the one linking her to Mac guy and Drew Barrymore ex Justin Long,
"[They] are the funniest thing on planet Earth. I don't know him from Adam. I met him once and he and his friend were kind enough to walk me home. I've never seen him since."

On her future:
"I can't wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake."

If this is a newsstand cover, then I'm glad to see a change from the usual portrait shots. Feels summery to me, but I'm not a Kirsten-hater, I'm more than OK with this cover, it's something different from Bazaar, happy to see it.

[bun-bun]

I don't like Kirsten, but I sure like this cover. It just puts a smile on my face.

I don't like this it all. It isn't Fall. I hate the huge cover type & the fabulous at any age is so incredibly boring & so overdone... every issue the same over & over. I do have hope for the subscriber's cover.

I read on fashionista yesterday that Cintia has an edit this issue featuring Fall Countryside looks.

Thank you for the thread Moonchild

I agree it has nothing to do with October,this is a May cover to me.But that being said,i am so happy to see something different than what they usually do!Please let this be the Newstand cover,cause then it would be a real change!

[thiago:)]

I don't love it ... But it's good to see Kirsten again and the cover is not boring like the previous covers this year... It's actually very 90's

[kimair]

i have to echo hfgl's comments...i adore this even if it is the wrong theme for an october issue...
it's so different for bazaar...and she looks wonderful in the ed...
i hardly ever like the newsstand cover so now i can't wait to see the subscribers one...
i will say that that type is freaking ginormous!!

[KissMiss]

hehe one of the few celeb covers i really like.... agree it is bit Mayish but October is not necessarily cold everywhere,,, i like edit as well... and egree its very 90ish...

[surrealseven]

The style of the cover just came out of nowhere for Bazaar, like the smile on Kristen though

[behansu]

The cover is interesting and different, but I hate the choice of celebrity. I hate that they have to put celebrities on the covers at all. But thats the US market for you.
