Kirsten's home on sale
Would you like to live in the house Kirsten lived in as a child?
Then you can buy Dunst’s childhood home for a pricetag of $1.7 million dollars.
Actress Kirsten Dunst’s childhood home is reportedly on the market for 1.7 million dollars.
The single family home was purchased by Dunst’s mother Inez at the time when she was filming the Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt starrer ‘Interview with a Vampire’.
The actress, who debuted in a Woody Allen film in 1989 at the tender age of seven, moved from her New Jersey into this house at the age of 12. Since she was too young to legally purchase a home for herself, this house remains in her mother’s name.
The home made on an area of 300 square feet, which is being shopped under the listing of “home of celebrities”, has three bedrooms, and is located on a private drive in Toluca Lake, Calif, reports TMZ.
Shelley Smith, realtor to the stars, says that Kirsten`s room includes a den at the top of a spiral staircase that was personalised with "Spiderman" movie memorabilia.
He says that pictures of the inner portions of the house have been placed in a photobook on display for the prospective buyers, and that the neighbourhood is a celebrity-rich locale, with inhabitants like the legendary Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
Dunst’s family moved out of this home six years ago, when she bought her mom, brother and grandmother a new home on Toluca Lake. Zeenews.com
I think that these pictures belong to this on-sale home in San Fernando Valley, whom she moved at age 11 from her first home in Point Pleasant -New Jersey- (Many communities within the San Fernando Valley are part of the City of Los Angeles, like Granada Hills, Lake View Terrace, Mission Hills, North Hollywood, North Hills, Reseda, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Sun Valley, Sunland, Toluca Lake, Woodland Hills, etc.) showing us that Kirsten's sense of housing fashion is less quirky than her wardrobe style.

James Byron & Jake
Today, 51 anniversay of James Dean's death, I remember two films in which his name was brought up in very different angles. In the movie "Come back to the five and dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" (1982) by Robert Altman, the neurotic Mona (actress Sandy Dennis) has kept alive her memories about meeting James Dean 20 years ago during the filming of "Giant" and she reunites with her friends in a Woolworth store in a small town of Texas. I watched this film on T.V. in the 90's and I could easily relate to the lead protagonist -who recreated a similar role (Honey) in "Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf?"- because her obsession with James Dean's myth is so blindly absorbing that has forced her to live apart of reality. In the end, stuttering a resentless poignant confession, she reveals us why she lied to herself half of her life.
In the other film, the controversial David Cronenberg's "Crash" (1996), where the characters attend staged recreations of famous car crashes for erotic purposes, like the one that killed James Dean, Vaughan (actor Elias Koteas) says: "These were the confident last words of the brilliant, young Hollywood star James Dean as he piloted his Porsche 550 Spyder race car toward a date with death along a lonely stretch of California two-lane blacktop Route 466... Don't worry that guy's gotta see us. The year... 1955. The day... September 30. The time... Now. The first star of our show is Little Bastard. James Dean's racing Porsche. He named it after himself and had his racing number - 130 - painted on it."

Beautiful future partenaire
I hope that Jake and Reese connect their chemistry plugs as much as Reese made it with Joaquin Phoenix, or how Jake with Jen Aniston.
These four scenes above belong to the dotty film "S.F.W." (So Fucking What?), one of my most guilty pleasures of cinema, by Jefery Levy (1994), it's difficult to make its synopsis coherent, as an anonymous viewer in a review for Amazon submitted:
"A FILM WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME. July 25, 1999
Take a look at this film and you will be amazed at how it predicted the future -- from OJ to JFK jr. Also, how many films have there been since SFW that have dealt with the same themes, but not nearly as well? NBK; Mad City; Truman Show; Ed TV -- SFW is, quite simply, a work of genius -- even more amazing: the book was written by a 17 year old college kid in 1987! The film, while it parodies teen romance films, also deals with the way popular culture (not just the media) takes a person or event, uses it to sell, sell, sell, then discards it, usually destroying it/him. The big cycle of pop culture. Check it out for yourself." -A viewer.
The antihero is Cliff Spab (performed by Stephen Dorff) and he is kidnapped by terrorists during 36 days in company of Reese Witherspoon (Wendy Pfister). Despite of a childish script and some camera work wreck, I haven't been able to forget its empty message, so although is despised as a dreadful sub "Natural Born Killers" by cinephiles, so fucking what? Some dialogue of the end by Stephen and Reese in the hospital after having been shot by a repressed teenager.
Cliff Spab: Wendy
Wendy Pfister: Spab
Cliff Spab: Wendy
Wendy Pfister: Spab
Cliff Spab: Wendy
Wendy Pfister: Spab
Cliff Spab: So are we gettin' married or what?
Wendy Pfister: Hey, guy. You fucking know it.

And while Reese was running away as Vanessa Lutz in her car in "Freeway", in a time bucle Jake was riding his bike yesterday 28th September in West Village, N.Y.
