Names and faces

LITTLE ROCK — Greeting judge and jurors with a friendly "Hi!," Kirsten Dunst served as a star witness Thursday against a man charged in the theft of her designer purse while she was on a movie set. The Spider-Man actress gave a matter-of-fact rundown of the Aug. 9, 2007, theft at New York's SoHo Grand Hotel. She was there on an overnight shoot for the 2008 comedy How to Lose Friends & Alienate People. James Jimenez, 35, is chargedwith burglary. His attorney has blamed the incident on a co-defendant. Dunst said that after shooting the night's final scene, she returned around 5 a.m. to a penthouse suite that actors used to rest between takes. She found someone had taken her $2,000 Balenciaga bag and its contents, including $2,000 - a week's worth of "petty cash" for daily expenses while filming, she explained. The purse was eventually mailed back to her manager with her wallet and credit cards, but she never recovered the rest - the cash, sunglasses "and probably a lip balm," Dunst, 27, said with a throaty laugh. Simon Pegg, Dunst's co-star, testified that his cell phone, camera and iPod also disappeared from the suite, located on a floor designed to be accessible only with special key cards. Only the phone was returned, said the 39-year-old British actor, whose films include Shaun of the Dead and this year's Star Trek. Prosecutors have said Jimenez and co-defendant Jarrod Beinerman took advantage of the commotion surrounding the movie set to sneak around the hotel and into the suite. Beinerman was sentenced last September to 4 1 /2 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted burglary.

International royalties from Bob Dylan's first Christmas album will be donated to the World Food Program to feed hungry people around the world, the U.N. agency announced Thursday. Christmas in the Heart will be released Oct. 13, Columbia Records has said. Dylan had previously announced that U.S. royalties would go to the American organization Feeding America. It is estimated that will help feed 1.4 million U.S.families during the Christmas season. All international royalties in perpetuity will go to the World Food Program, the U.N. group said, except for British royalties, which will go to the relief agency Crisis UK.
