Marie Antoinette, Sofia Coppola's bio-pic of the doomed Frenchie staring Kirsten Dunst, opens this week. Above, you see a toy figurine of the ill-fated Queen. We're not sure, but it may be one of the best things we've ever seen.

A friend just sent us the first public shots from Out Magazine's photo shoot with Jamie Dornan, the phenomenally beautiful Calvin Klein model who plays Kirsten Dunst's lover in Marie Antionette. Looking pretty fly there, Mr. Dornan...

As if drooling over Dornan isn't reason enough, the ever-improving fag rag turns its homo-gaze toward Bond (James Bond, that is) with a Mark Simpson feature on Bond's metrosexuality and a spy themed fashion editorial (we'd share those pics with you, but they're top secret - and already on the website) for the release of Casino Royale.

Also in this issue - which should hit stands by the end of the week - the Out boys unveil a new look. EIC Aaron Hicklin uses his editorial letter as explanation:

“If you don’t grow and change, you die,” explained long time James Bond producer Barbara Brocolli earlier this year, after dumping Pierce Brosnan in favor of Daniel Craig, a guy who actually has more than one facial expression. Brocolli’s axiom may be particularly relevant to Bond, who—post Austin Powers—is becoming a parody of a parody of a parody, but it also applies to magazines. As you will have noticed, we’ve been doing some growing and changing of our own of late, introducing new writers and photographers, and expanding the fashion coverage, culminating in the redesign you see here. We think it’s a handsome new look that better reflects the tone and style of the content, and think that you will, too.

(Loyal readers may notice we've changed some text here - we apologize if we got you all excited by mentioning a Daniel Craig shoot and Kirsten Dunst's involvement in the issue. Our brains are all mush thanks to the Dornan shots. Not surprisingly, other parts of our anatomy aren't so soft...)

What's cuter than Kiki Dunst in a cheerleading outfit or being rescued by Spider-Man? Maybe Dakota Fanning, but not much else. Like Miss Fanning, Kirsten is branching out into a more sophisticated role, though one that doesn't involve anything so edgy as underage rape, just a beheading at the end.

Considering she is often panned for her slovenly appearance, it will be nice to see Kirsten all gussied up in period costume and surrounded by fluffy pink cakes. Don't expect the typical soundtrack in this Sofia Coppola adventure, however. The soundtrack will be New Wave all the way, which we think sounds fun, though rather similar in philosophy to the 90s Romeo and Juliet and Great Expectations movies.

We're excited about this movie though and looking forward to its release in October, and not just because sexy former Dior model Jamie Dornan has a role. We love Kirsten, too. No, really.

Start Serving the Cake!!! [New, Now, Next]

We’re in shock this AM after reading in Women’s Wear Daily that those sneaky French beeotches over at Chanel tricked our dear Reese Witherspoon into wearing a three year old dress they claimed was vintage to the Golden Globes! Every fashion queen knows that three years does not equal vintage.

The icing on the pretty, pink cake is the fact that Kirsten Dunst wore THE EXACT SAME NOT EVEN CUTE DRESS to the Golden Globes in 2003. OMG. The Chanel team is sooooo hateful. Though we cannot blame them. We mix up the two, precious blondes all the time.
