Kirsten Dunst has been dubbed "Kirsten Drunkst" because her drinking habits have reportedly spun out of control.

Pals of the 'Spider-Man' beauty are said to be concerned the star is partying excessively and believe her new found friendship with notorious Hollywood party girl Tara Reid is partly to blame.

Dunst and Reid arrived together at club promoter Brent Bolthouse's recent party at top Los Angeles nightclub Privilege and were seen having a great time, according to America's New York Post newspaper.

Just a week earlier, the 'Elizabethtown' star was spotted at the same venue cosying up to heartthrob actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who recently split from long-term love supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

The actress' excessive partying has now led to several websites branding her "Kirsten Drunkst".

Last month, Dunst first sparked fears she could have a drinking problem after reportedly getting "drunk and obnoxious" at the premiere party of new movie 'Elizabethtown'.

The screen beauty was alleged to have arrived on the red-carpet of the New York premiere looking "dishevelled" before drinking herself into an aggressive stupour at the exclusive post screening bash.

Dunst herself sparked speculation she had problems with alcohol after joking she drinks so much she will end up in rehab.

She told American talk show host Jay Leno: "I stock up on Veuve Cliquot champagne. I buy it from Costco - cheap there I have lots of alcohol and no food in my fridge.

"Maybe in a few months you will see me in a rehab clinic."
