Naomi Campbell has cleaned up her act — by getting down and dirty.

After a quick fling with Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, Kirsten Dunst is now making music with Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell. The new couple were seen kissing and dirty-dancing on March 16 at the music festival South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. The pair met at Razorlight’s show at LA’s El Ray Theatre on March 9, and that Borrell invited Dunst, 24, out to SXSW to be with him.

The actress must have taken him up on the offer because they were seen partying together three different times on March 16: they dirty-danced at Blender House, flirted at the live music hall Stubb’s, and Dunst showed up with a female companion to the band’s gig at La Zona Rosa.
