Is Kirsten Dunst stuggling to fight alcohol addiction?

Rumours are circulating that Kirsten Dunst is struggling to fight her alcohol addiction, just five weeks after checking out of rehab.

The 26-year-old actress was reportedly admitted to the Cirque Lodge rehabilitation facility earlier this year, following a week of partying hard at the Sundance Film Festival. Her behaviour at the time prompted family to intervene and seek help for the star.

Now, having returned to work, filming her next movie in New York, Dunst was spotted celebrating her birthday, drinking and dancing with friends, prompting speculation that the kooky actress has failed to kick her addiction.

One source told a US magazine: 'She got worse as the night went on. She started out pretty chilled, but hours later she was dancing and jumping like a crazed animal. She was completely out of it.'

The rumours follow news that Dunst has been dropped as the face of Miu Miu and replaced with Johnny Depp's long-term girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis.
