We have been following Kirsten Dunst’s career since she starred alongside Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in 1994’s Interview with a Vampire. Therefore, you would think we would know how to say her first name correctly. But it turns out we have been mispronouncing her name the whole time.
Even though it is spelled Kirsten, some people pronounce her as Kristen. Then others, like me, thought it was Kerr-sten. And that is also wrong.
So what is the correct way to say it? She told Town & Country Magazine that it is pronounced Care-sten.
What happens if you call her by the wrong name? She says, “I give up. I don’t care.”
I can’t say I blame her. After 43 years, you just get tired of correcting people. Believe me, I sympathize with her.
Before Kirsten Dunst only drank blood in Interview with a Vampire, she was eating Pillsbury Microwave Side Dishes with her parents. How freaking cute was the 30year-old in that 1985 commercial?
Billy Porter was a guest on The Late Late Show yesterday, and he made quite an entrance. He came down one side of the stage with a golden cape stretched out that make it look like he has wings. Then he went behind the curtain, did a costume change, and greeted the audience on the other side. He was not done; he then joined the band and played the tambourine. The actor had one more trick; he had several guys bring out a magic carpet and carry him like he was Aladdin to James Corden. While everyone, including Kirsten Dunst, who was the other guest, was thrilled by his entrance, the CBS host was not.
He was so upset; he threw Porter off the show. Did the Pose just leave? Of course not. He did another costume change and sang Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive in his own special way. Pissing Corden even more. Proving that Porter will always survive.
When it comes to Dunst, I do not think she knew that it was all set up before the show started. I mean, Corden knew what he was in for after he asked Porter to sing Karaoke at the Tonys and he belted out Gypsy’s Everything Is Coming Up Roses. It was the show stopper of that night. Even though it happened during a commercial break.
Back to his LLS song choice, I think he should have gone with another Gaynor song, I’m Coming Out. Seemed more fitting for the situation, but that is me.
While everyone was focused on Emmy winner Alex Bornstein taking off her top as she went up to accept her award, there was something else going on behind her. Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons were out of their seats, kneeled down on the floor.
What were they couple doing? Embarrassingly looking for their seats. Where is an usher when you need one? Oh, he is not EGOT material just yet, so that is why he was not there.
