BY DANIEL KEDISH Culture Editor Globally HOT Kirsten Dunst back in the scene This Friday, Kirsten Dunst's much-anticipated movie, "Marie Antoinette," hits theaters and all of us are thinking: "It's about time Dunst!" Itseemslikewe haven't seen a-good movie from the heartthrob in a while, and "Elizabethtown" doesn't count. Under the direction of Sophia Coppola, this movie is bound to show audiences a new side of the blonde starlight - which may give her a running chance during Oscar season. With costumes galore and a circus full ofwigs, thismovie is sure to make a scene at the cinema. NOT Television showdowns We all have shows we can't go without watching, However, what do we do when our two favorite shows' are at the same exact same time? This is what's occurring to- day, with ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" showing at the exact time as "CSI."
