Harry gives Dunst her blessing

Blondie star Deborah Harry has hit back at reports she is unhappy with the casting of Kirsten Dunst in a forthcoming biopic of the singer, admitting the two stars have met and chatted about the project.

Dunst dealt with the initial internet criticism she received when she was first cast in the Michael Gondry film by stating Harry actually chose her for the role, and inviting unhappy Blondie fans to "take it up with her".
