Kirsten Dunst is reportedly dating Josh Hartnett. The couple - who have been romantically linked several times over the last year - have further fueled rumors they are together after they were seen enjoying an intimate dinner at Blue Ribbon Sushi in New York on Thursday.

A source said: "They were whispering and smiling at each other. At times it looked like she wanted to grab his hand, but stopped. She was especially smitten with him."

Drew Barrymore says being single has helped her "learn" who she is. The 32-year-old actress - who split from her "He's Just Not That Into You" co-star Justin Long in July - is determined not to let her life be ruled by a man.

She said: "My priorities have changed so much. I've been single for months now and I've turned my attention toward my passions, my friends and the causes I believe in. It's been about learning who I am, not through a man, but for myself."

Drew Barrymore is reportedly dating "Gossip Girl" star Ed Westwick.

The 33-year-old actress, who split from Justin Long in July, was photographed cuddling and kissing the 21-year-old actor at a party following the Kings of Leon concert in New York on Tuesday night.

Kirsten Dunst became depressed because she was "dependent on other people's approval".

The "Spider-Man" actress checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge treatment facility - which counts Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes among its former patients - in February to be treated for depression, which she claims was brought on by her need to please others.
