After getting out of rehab, Kirsten Dunst may be involved with a club DJ.

It appears that “Spiderman” actress Kirsten Dunst may be on the road to recovery from her depression and might have met a new boy toy to help.

Originally, she checked herself in to Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehab facility for alcohol or drug abuse, where she hoped to find a means for dealing with it.

After attending rehab, the 26-year-old said, “Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about,” according to the Actress Archives.

Three months after her stay in the rehab clinic, she was spotted partying with the club DJ Matt Creed from The Beatrice Inn. Reportedly, “She’s there almost every night of the week to dance, smoke and let loose,” said a source. Is she really there for the party though, or is she trying to catch the eye of the DJ? The Beatrice Inn’s club owner Paul Sevigny was rather vague about the details of the relationship between Creed and Dunst though, saying, “They’ve been friends for years.”

Kirsten Dunst is back in action dancing the nights away at New York City's Beatrice Inn and hanging out with new guy Matt Creed.

Three months after leaving the Cirque Lodge in Utah after being treated for depression, the Spider-Man actress, who just bought a Tribeca penthouse, is shooting All Good Things in Connecticut with Ryan Gosling and making the rounds in downtown Manhattan.

Her go-to spots? A night owl by nature, Dunst, 26, was recently spotted having a late bite at the cavernous Bacaro on the Lower East Side, then heading to the Olsens' fave haunt, the Beatrice Inn.

"She has become a regular at Beatrice," says a source close to the actress. "She's there almost every night of the week to dance, smoke and let loose."

Dunst has recently been linked to Beatrice's DJ, Matt Creed, fueling rumors of a romance. "They've been friends for years," says Beatrice's owner, Paul Sevigny.

Another source says that Dunst and Creed are "just friends" and that "there's nothing romantic going on."

A rep for the actress had no comment.

But Dunst seems to be back in the swing of things. On June 23, she kicked back at the Coldplay concert at Madison Square Garden, to see her pal, Chris Martin. "Kirsten really likes Chris," says the source. "She bonded with him a few years ago at the MTV Music Awards in Miami."

Actress Kirsten Dunst and actor Ryan Gosling were spotted taking a 10-minute break from filming outside Drescher's restaurant, 25 Leavenworth St., at about 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

The young stars are in the city filming a wedding scene for the movie, "All Good Things." The ambitious 14-hour shooting schedule was slated to run from 11 a.m. Wednesday until 1 a.m. Thursday.

Republican-American photographer Steven Valenti captured Dunst smoking a cigarette during her break.

"The actors looked right at me and I said, 'I'm with the local newspaper,' and they were cool when they knew I wasn't with the paparazzi," Valenti said, noting the actors took time to pose for pictures with local residents and business people who were in the area.

Kirsten Dunst apparently went to Cirque Lodge Treatment Centre in the USA in February for depression.

At the time it was reported she went in for drug or alcohol abuse but she’s now said: ‘Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.’

Well I second that!

Every time I go back to rehab it’s about being a serious illness, and it’s annoying when people judge.

"I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse," Kirsten told E!. "I went there for depression... I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself."

However, according to a Star insider, Cirque Lodge usually doesn't treat patients suffering from depression alone they must have some kind of chemical dependency.

Everyone’s favorite tipsy greaser Kirsten Dunst is reportedly claiming her month-long stay at rehab center-to-the-stars Cirque Lodge was just a quick fix for feeling down in the dumps. As the actress recently told E! Online, she was not in a state of Natasha Lyonne meth-face madness, nor was she popping pills or playing the Brits’ favorite party game of Booze Snorting she was just depressed! But when we gave the Cirque Lodge's admission guidelines a quick once over, we found no mention of specific plans aimed at those suffering simply from depression. So we decided to place a call to the Cirque Lodge today to see if our dear Kirsten just might be telling the truth. Sadly, as the Magic 8-Ball might say, "Outlook Not So Good." Here's what the spokesperson we spoke to today told us:

We address chemical dependency issues. We’re not at all a purely psychiatric facility like Bridges To Recovery, and each patient must undergo a detox for their chemical dependency, whether they’re coming off benzos, you know, cocktails in a pill, or harder substances. We do treat underlying issues, but if someone is suffering solely from chronic depression, we’re not the place to go.

As much as we hate delivering bad news (really!), it looks as though Dunst is simply pulling a Mendes by chalking up whatever uppers, downers and brand of Grandpa's Lemonade she'd been overdoing to a much more pleasant-sounding "problem." Not to mention her continuous public appearances in New York this month looking "wobbly" and generally lushing it up all over town. We wish her a speedy recovery but, as Goldenfiddle reminds us, "The first step is admitting you have a problem."

Actress Kirsten Dunst is clearing up the reason she went into rehab earlier this year.

Dunst told E! Online that it was for depression and not for alcohol or drugs.

The "Spider-Man" movie co-star said she was "struggling" and took the time to take care of herself at the noted private rehab facility, the Cirque Lodge in Utah.

"I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge," Dunst told E!

Dunst, 26, said she's now ready to talk about her problem because she feels stronger in the face of rampant media speculation.

"There's been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it's been very painful for my friends and family," Dunst told E! "Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumors, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I'm feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something."

She told the E! that being a celebrity doesn't exempt her from problems like depression.

Kirsten Dunst, upset over rumors that her stay in rehab was due to her drinking, lashed out at critics saying she was in rehab due to depression, not booze.

The 26 year-old actress had gone to Utah's famous celebrity rehab center, Cirque Lodge, after suffering from a bought of depression she wasn't able to get over for months.  "I was feeling really low," said Dunst, "that's why I got help".

Cirque is famous for the rehab of other young stars, most recently Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes.  But the rehab center isn't known for depressed, rich and successful young starlettes who feel a bit pouty.  What the hard core celebs who show up at Cirque are there for is either booze or drug habits - not mild cases of depression, as the sexy Spider Man co-star Dunst claims.

Dunst, who's latest film is being shot in New York where the actress is starring along side Ryan Gosling in "All Good Things", is known for her party girl habits in Beverly Hills and many believe Kirsten is kiss'n up to the press with her rehab depression story in order to save her career from going sideways.

Kirsten's last movie, "Marie Antoinette", gave Dunst the starring role and insiders are saying she wants to 'stay on top' as long as she can, knowing a publicly revealed drinking or drug problem could wreck her movie career.  So 'cooling it' at Cirque Clinic in Utah was a good choice - now if Dunst can only convince the media that she's a clean all-American girl!

Kirsten Dunst is opening up about her stint at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah earlier this year, saying that she sought help for depression, not for drug or alcohol abuse.

"I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself," Dunst, 26, tells E! Online. "I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too."

In February, Dunst checked into the same posh facility where Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes have been treated.

"She does drink and she does have wild nights, but that was never the root of her issues," a source close to Dunst tells PEOPLE. "She couldn't control her depression."

When Dunst entered rehab in February, another friend told PEOPLE that the actress had been feeling low for some time. "She's been crying a lot lately, " said the friend. "Everybody hits that bottom where you feel [so] scared that that one heavy night of partying can really wake you up. It's good she's getting herself help."

As for why she decided to talk about her struggles now, Dunst tells E!, "Now that I'm feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something ... Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about."

Kirsten Dunst is hard at work shooting her next movie, All Good Things, on New York’s Upper West Side.

But she’s decided to focus on something else today opening up to dispel rumors and tabloid reports that she sought help earlier this year at Cirque Lodge treatment center in Utah due to alcoholism and substance abuse.

“I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse,” Dunst tells me exclusively during a lunch break on All Good Things. “I went there for depression.”

The 26-year-old Hollywood veteran makes a point of explaining that while she consulted doctors along with family and friends about treatment, it was ultimately her decision to make.

“It was a good six months before I decided to go away,” Dunst says. “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. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”

Dunst says she’s decided to go public with her depression and treatment because she’s not the only one who finds herself facing the ongoing and often nasty speculation in the press and elsewhere.

Most recently, erroneous reports alleged she was fired as the face of Miu Miu because of her personal problems, when in fact Dunst’s six-month work with the fashion house was never intended to go any further than it did.

“There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family,” she says. “Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumors, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something.”
