Kirsten Dunst is featured on the cover of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine and in her coverstory interview she talks about the usual sorts of things that get asked of covermodels (the blah blah blah). I am most intrigued by her comments about a possible relationship with actor Justin Long (newly separated from Drew Barrymore). In her Harper’s interview Kirsten claims that she doesn’t know Justin despite the fact that the two have been photographed together, as recently as August 31. HMMM:

Kirsten Dunst says rumors she is romancing Justin Long “are the funniest thing on planet Earth.” “I don’t know him from Adam,” she says in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, per USA Today. The two have been photographed repeatedly over the summer. On August 29, Us Weekly reports, he invited her to his $2 million L.A. home. After a sleepover, they hit the Joe Purdy show at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and lunched a day later at the Chateau Marmont, where Long, 30, got them a room. Still, Dunst, 26, insists, “I met him once and he and his friend were kind enough to walk me home. I’ve never seen him since.” She adds that she is still looking for The One.

Uh huh. Here are pics of Kirsten and Justin, or Dunst-in as I like to call them, lunching and driving together on August 31:

Now, either A.) this Harper’s Bazzar interview took place before these most recent hook-ups or B.) Kirsten has no idea that we the people are already well aware of their creepin’ around together. I suppose it’s *possible* that the two are just friends … but it strikes me as being strange that she wouldn’t just say that. What’s the big secret? I think they make a cute couple … they should totally go for it! That is, you know, if they’re not going for it already.
