Hey, everyone! Get ready for the hecklerspray word of the day.
Today’s word: depressed. Adjective.
1. Sad, gloomy; dejected; downcast.
2. Being or measured below the standard or norm.
3. The reason you say you went to rehab, but everyone probably knows you’re a bit of a drunkard because there’s always loads of pictures of you stumbling out of clubs and parties pretty trashed.
Now, try to apply the correct definition to the following statement: Kirsten Dunst has publicly announced that her recent trip to rehab was because she was depressed.
And yes, the correct answer is ‘all of the above’.
Okay, okay. We’ve all had our share of good times poking fun at, well, everything to be perfectly honest, but right now we mean in regards to Kirsten Dunst. Not just about Kirsten Dunst being annoying and willowy and make you long for fingernails being dragged slowly across a chalkboard as opposed to enduring her movie roles, but also about catching the packed celebrity charter bus to rehab at Cirque Lodge in Utah back in February of this year.
But it’s time to stop calling Kirsten Drunk a dunst…or Kirsten Dunst a drunk, or whatever, okay? She didn’t go there because she was addicted alcohol or drugs, or anything. She went there because she was depressed. A sellout/source close to Kirsten had this to say to People:
“She does drink and she does have wild nights, but that was never the root of her issues. She couldn’t control her depression.”
Hey, we can’t say that we blame Kirsten. The woman did have to kiss perpetually semi-pubescent Tobey Maguire in those Spider-Man movies. Jeesh, that has us reaching for the Prozac just thinking about it. But let’s look at Kirsten’s personal statement on the issue as told to E! Online:
“I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it… Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something … Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.”
Not to be gossiped about. Whoops. Looks like we blew that one right nice, now didn’t we.
