Kirsten Dunst has reportedly been spotted canoodling with Josh Hartnett in a Los Angeles night spot. The Spider-Man beauty, who recently split with actor boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, was seen kissing Hartnett at West Hollywood's Fenix club, reports a British newspaper. A source tells the Daily Sport, "They were necking, it was very hot. He was whispering in her ear and kissing her neck most of the night." Dunst first met Hartnett on the set of the 1999 film The Virgin Suicides, in which they played lovers, and has reportedly, "always had a crush on her". Hartnett was recently linked to Quincy Jones's daughter Rashida, following his break-up with high school sweetheart Ellen Fenster.

Sofia Coppola is going in for some more translation work.
The Academy Award-winning writer/director of "Lost in Translation is studying up on her French history for her next project, "Marie-Antoinette," starring Kirsten Dunst as the ill-fated French queen and Jason Schwartzman as her husband, Louis XVI. Both lost their heads during the French Revolution.
The Columbia Pictures project, which Coppola will write and direct, is described as a stylized account of the enigmatic royal. Production is scheduled to begin in February in France.
"I've always loved the story of Marie Antoinette and the decadence of Versailles on the brink of revolution," Coppola said, "and the fact she was just a teenager when circumstances forced her to play a significant role in history."
Dunst, who starred in Coppola's first film, "The Virgin Suicides," most recently appeared in "Spider-Man 2." Her upcoming features include "Wimbledon" and Cameron Crowe's drama "Elizabethtown."
