Kirsten Dunst laughed off rumors that she’s in a relationship with Drew Barrymore’s ex, Justin Long. They’ve been photographed together on several occasions, but instead of refusing to comment or claiming she wants to keep her personal life private Dunst said she’s only met the guy once and doesn’t know him. That’s a great strategy when there’s a lot of evidence to the contrary:

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.

“I can’t wait to have kids one day,” she says. “I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake.”

The actress also says she is doing “great” after seeking treatment for depression at Utah’s Cirque Lodge earlier this year.

Though she wouldn’t get into too much detail (it’ll be “blogged about for the rest of my life,” she insists), she offers insight into how she ended up there.

“When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you’re performing constantly for people,” she says. “It definitely breeds the kind of person who’s dependent on other people’s approval.

“If I’d trusted myself and listened to myself all the times that I ignored myself, I would have been fine,” Dunst says. “But everyone has to learn their lesson, and now I’ve got it.”

US Weekly has a photo of Dunst with Long on August 31, they were photographed out together on in LA about a week before, and there are several other sightings of them together this Summer. How is that meeting someone once? Don’t tell an outright lie that’s easy to disprove. Just say “oh, I’m not commenting on that.” You have to doubt everything else that comes out of this woman’s mouth if she’s only saying she met the guy once. Maybe they’re through at this point or are having problems or something, but don’t say you don’t know him from Adam. You must know Adam pretty well, Kirsten.
