Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst has appeared in a New York court after her Marc Jacobs handbag was stolen. The starlet says a Manhattan mechanic stole her purse during a movie shoot at the SoHo Grand in August 2007.

"It was probably a $2, 000 purse," she said of the brown Marc Jacobs handbag. "My purse had $2,000 in it, a pair of sunglasses, my wallet with all my credit cards."

It's alleged that 35-year-old James Jimenez slipped into the penthouse suite and stole Kirsten's bag, a $13, 000 Balenciaga purse, and an iPod and camera belonging to her How to Lose Friends and Alienate People co-star Simon Pegg.

"It dawns on you slowly because, obviously, you don't want to think that happened," said British actor Simon Pegg.

Mr. Jimenez faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of burglary. An accomplice, Jarrod Beinerman, is currently serving four years after pleading guilty. Both men were spotted in the suite by a production assistant, and captured by hotel surveillance cameras.

Something tells me Mr. Jimenez will join his friend in the slammer pretty soon!

Here's surprising twist for a Miu Miu ad campaign: there are no celebrities involved. I'm a little shocked, to by quite honest.

Considering that the label has previously pulled in the likes of Katie Holmes, Kirsten Dunst, and Lindsay Lohan, it's quite unexpected to see Prada's little sister showcasing actual career models in their ads. However, they have indeed chosen models to flaunt their latest fall/winter items.

Don't look for Kate Moss or Natalia Vodianova in these ads, however. The fresh faces of the autumn 09 campaign include Hannah Holman, Mimmi Söderström, and Ilda Lundqvist.

Fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott went with a minimalist design for Miu Miu. Without tabloid-heavy celebs and with a very muted color palette, these ads really highlight the exquisite textures of Miu Miu's fall/winter collection. Just check out that tweed coat and gorgeous studded handbag.

Miu Miu's advertising campaigns usually spotlight some of the hottest celebrities that sometimes outshine the merchandise in the images. Stylish stars like Kirsten Dunst and Lindsay Lohan are among those who have been featured in the designer's ads. Remember Katie Holmes surrounded by handbags for the most recent campaign?

Well, Miu Miu is justifiably proud of their popular advertisements and has created a special exhibit to showcase them. The images have been re-worked into pop-art style screens making them seem even more timeless.

Though this new art was first shown at the recent spring/summer Paris show, the exhibition is now up for display at Miu Miu's West London boutique just in time for the city's current fashion week. If you're in that area, you can stop by to see them throughout the next month.

Hollywood hottie Katie Holmes is rumored to be the next model for Miu Miu!

If it's true Mrs Tom Cruise will follow in the footsteps of other famous Miu Miu faces including Drew Barrymore, Chloe Sevigny, Kirsten Dunst, Vanessa Paradis, and Lindsay Lohan.

Earlier rumors suggested that Miu Miu were looking to stick to models for their campaign, but who can go past that dramatic bob and soulful brown eyes? But they're not ditching the professional mannequins altogether. Katie will apparently star in the spring 2009 campaign alongside a bevy of beautiful models. Don't expect them to share the limelight though. An insider says the models will be styled to look like "accessories."

Representatives for Ms Holmes are remaining tight-lipped on the story, but they're not denying it either!

I really hope these rumors are true. I'm dying to see Katie step out of those ill-fitting boyfriend jeans and dowdy mom clothes to become the Miu Miu glamourpuss we all know she can be!

This Big Buddha hobo bag is no shrinking violet! With its large size and chunky accents, the Kirsten is made to get noticed.

The Kirsten's traditional slouchy hobo shape gives it a relaxed vibe, perfect for those lazy weekend lunches with the girls. The synthetic's natural textured finish looks just like leather, but is so much kinder on the planet and your purse strings. The Kirsten's woven detailing and funky side laces make it stand out from the pack.

Pop open the magnetic closure to reveal the playful polka-dot lined interior. It's made for overstuffing, with plenty of space and soft side walls. We all know it's easy to lose your essentials at the bottom of an oversized bag, so the inner zip pocket and front slip pockets are lifesavers.

Loosely braided straps feel silky soft on your shoulder while maintaining the Kirsten's laid-back charm.
