It’s the most wonderful time of the year—for a court date!

With New York prosecutors deciding that a trespassing conviction isn’t good enough, a retrial has been set for Dec. 3 for a man accused of helping to steal wallets, cell phones and a host of luxury items from Kirsten Dunst’s hotel room in 2007.

A jury convicted James Jimenez of criminal trespass on Oct. 2 but deadlocked on felony burglary charges that could land him behind bars for up to 15 years.

The dim-bulb defendant accused of swiping the purse of “Spider-Man” starlet Kirsten Dunst from a SoHo Grand suite escaped a web of trouble Friday.

A Manhattan jury acquitted James Jimenez on one burglary charge and deadlocked on two other burglary charges.

The high school dropout – whose defense was that he was too dopey to have committed the crime – was found guilty of a misdemeanor criminal trespass.

“I feel pretty good,” Jimenez said, clutching a Bible. “In God I trust.”

Kirsten Dunst will return as Mary Jane Watson, “Spider-Man 4” producer Todd Black told the New York Post.

But he warned against hoping for a wedding between Mary Jane and Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker when the movie comes out May 6, 2011. Black said he didn’t know of any such plotline.

Kirsten Dunst will return as Mary Jane Watson, “Spider-Man 4” producer Todd Black told the New York Post.

The star will rejoin director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker’s love interest in the latest installment in the popular superhero franchise, which is slated for May 6, 2011.

However, don’t expect wedding bells for Mary Jane and Peter — Black told the newspaper that he was unaware of such a subplot. At the close of “Spider-Man 3,” the two had an emotional — but ambiguous — reunion after the film’s events drove the lovers apart.

Kirsten Dunst has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season—including a brand-new restraining order against an alleged stalker.

The Spider-Man star took the action after one Christopher Smith allegedly showed up unannounced at her Hollywood Hills home, most recently on Nov. 20. While there, she states in court papers, he exhibited “aggressive” and “harassing” behavior, while claiming “he has some sort of spiritual connection” with her even though they have never met.
