All the papers are asking where Spider-Man was when Mary Jane Watson Kirstin Dunst's belongings were burgled on August 9th. The actress, who was in town filming How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, was staying at the SoHo Grand Hotel and had just left her suite with some others before the crime took place. What was in her room was a $13,000 handbag, $2500 in cash, ID and credit cards, two digital cameras, a cell phone and an iPod.
A surveillance camera caught the two crooks after their caper and a suspect, 33 year old Jarrod Beinerman, is now being held on $50,000 bail. He was arrested after going to a Brooklyn court for an unrelated earlier this week, just as Dunst was wrapping up filming. His lawyer claims he isn't carrying anything in the surveillance video and that his client was only in the hotel because he heard a movie was being filmed and "went there to check out what was going on."
Let's assume that Beinerman (who has a long criminal record that includes two federal drug convictions, helping run a cocaine-distribution ring and possessing narcotics in prison) did it. The Post says he got in to the room by taking a guest elevator to the floor below Dunst's suite and then a freight elevator up to the penthouse level, where he found the door was (duhn-duhn-dunst) open! Someone is so getting fired for that one.
UPDATE: Beinerman has changed his MySpace status to "worried". However, he has left his layout, which features bundles of money and marijuana graphics, the same. And ladies...he's single!

awwwww, poor baby had her $13,000 handbag stolen.
why is this story on gothamist? who the f--k cares?
Yawn....
Kirstin Dunst isn't too bad looking. I would do her.
nobody's getting fired, ditzy actress leaves door open, story at eleven.
This is a great story. Not the one about the rich oblivious startlette, but the one about "33 year old Jarrod Beinerman," who is a throwback to the New York of yore. Personally I don't miss the time when guys who brought you food from the deli had to lock both wheels and the seat of their bikes when they came up stairs, but it is "good" to know that the criminal element is trying to keep its head above water and still trying every entrance and egress in their venal search for ""
Stupid idiot, she should have gotten her $13,000 purse down at Canal Street like the rest of us.
Care factor - nada zip.
gothamist loves to post stupid front page articles from the NY Post.
$2500 in cash???
she just dropped a notch in my book. did they find any weed in her room? yes, she was annoying in Elisabethtown. dumb kunt.
Newsworthy? It's not like she was raped and violated for 10 hours straight! Pfftt!
How can anyone own a $13K bag and not feel sick to their stomachs about it? Such frucking entitlement.
is it really entitlement if you can actually afford it?
i buy a car, she buys a handbag
i pay rent, she carries around twice as much in cash.
she gets robbed, i don't care.
Yes, you think you are entitled to have something that costs so much.
If she can afford a $13k handbag, how is she not entitled to buy one?
Eh, at least she worked (to the extent that acting is work) for her money. It's still an absurd amount of money to spend on a handbag, but less annoying than if we were talking about Nicole Richie, say.
still a khunt. khuntbag. khuntie. khuntface.
The problem here is not so much that she can afford a $13,000 on a handbag,,if she is rich who are we to judge?
I do think she is profoundly stupid. Who in the world leaves $2500 in cash just laying about in a room.
Why assume she bought the bag? She probably got it for free like all celebrity swag. I'm not shedding a tear.
#19 is correct, nobody pays for anything in that industry. it's always expensed. that's why your movie tickets are $15 and why they always claim a movie flopped when it made millions.
Swag, gifts, product placement it's the nature of the business.
dumb kuntbag.
$13000 for a handbag is the real crime
Soho Grand, apparently, has a big security problem.
