Christina Ricci's ready to get wed: "She has been dating Saving Private Ryan star Adam Goldberg for the past year. (Pic: Pathe Distribution Ltd)

Asked about her relationship, she said: 'I would marry Adam because I am very traditional and conservative.

'I definitely want children. I probably wouldn't plan to have a child before I was married but you can't control everything.'

Christina is currently starring in the horror film, Cursed directed by Wes Craven.

Ricci and Jesse Eisenberg play siblings who are mauled by a werewolf that is on the loose in Los Angeles.

They suddenly find themselves physically stronger, more alert, and increasingly attractive to those around them - but their power comes at a price."

Ricci has cameo on new Beck album

2005-04-08T11:28:00.000-07:00

mtv.com - News - Beck Is Reflected In Baby Guero, Has More Music Ready: "In contrast, Guero is anything but simple - it's all over the place, with guest spots from Christina Ricci ('Hell Yes') and Jack White ('Go it Alone'), digitized power ballads, bossa nova, slide guitar, jungle beats, low-rider street noise and mariachi horns. Even when the songs aren't overtly angry, as is the case with the breezy 'Girl,' his lyrics suggest a darker undercurrent: 'I'm gonna steal her eye/ She doesn't even know what's wrong/ And I know I'm gonna make her die.' Beck is quick to add that the anger isn't an empty exercise, citing his first single, 'E-Pro,' which decries the 'twisted tongues' and 'talking trash' surrounding him. 'It's kind of letting out an intense feeling, and it's looking for some kind of humanity, trying to find something above the anger,' he said. 'And it's about loud guitars,' he laughed."

'Prozac Nation', with Christina Ricci, on brighter side of mediocrity

2005-03-18T10:42:00.000-08:00

Philadelphia Daily News | 03/18/2005 | 'Prozac Nation' on brighter side of mediocrity: "Miramax shelved the drama for so long that you might expect it to be much worse than it actually is. In fact, this adaptation of Elizabeth Wurtzel's aggressively needy memoir - finally being seen thanks to Miramax founders Bob and Harvey Weinstein splitting with Disney - is not just better than the book. It's also firmly on the brighter side of mediocrity.

Christina Ricci, looking more beautiful than she has before or since, stars as Elizabeth, an aspiring journalist sulking her way through Harvard. Director Erik Skjoldbjaerg (he made the Norwegian film on which 2002's 'Insomnia' was based) films her various indulgences - drugs, alcohol, sex - in a kind of predictable haze, but, unlike the book, Elizabeth does not come off as completely loathsome.

Her mental breakdowns, her ill-advised relationships (Jason Biggs is one of the boyfriends), her fights with her scattered mom (Jessica Lange), her showdowns with her therapist (Heche) - all seem, if not hugely original or meaningful, at least moderately entertaining."

'Cursed', starring Christina Ricci, a Lame, Rushed Attempt From Wes Craven

2005-03-02T10:49:00.000-08:00

KGET 17 || ENTERTAINMENT: "With his latest steaming pile of a werewolf movie called 'Cursed,' Craven has treaded into George Lucas territory, meaning that he was out of the game way too long before returning to filmmaking and making a successful run at it. His last film, 'Scream 3' (which wasn't all that bad; better than 'Scream 2,' anyway), came in 2000, and we hadn't heard from him since. It is well known by the communities of both movie geeks and film critics alike that Craven is a man of many talents, including the ability to scare the hell out of you, which he did very effectively in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'Scream,' two rightful cult horror classics.

Teaming again with his 'Scream' scriptwriter, Kevin Williamson (also of 'Dawson's Creek' infamy), Craven has brought us 'Cursed,' the tale of a brother and sister both bitten by a looming werewolf (fresh off ripping a car-wrecked Shannon Elizabeth apart) on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. The brother, Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg), swears he saw the beast and, through some successful Internet research, discovers that he and his sister, Ellie (Christina Ricci), are making their own slow transformations into werewolves themselves, though they never quite make it."

Craven 'Cursed' by predictability in werewolf tale, starring Christina Ricci

2005-02-28T11:19:00.000-08:00

Craven 'Cursed' by predictability in werewolf tale: "Like a werewolf in a full moon, it crept stealthily into theaters over the weekend and, without first screening for critics, it pounced onto unsuspecting audiences. The name Wes Craven still has currency with horror aficionados, but 'Cursed' is a third-rate effort, with a weak script, cheap-looking effects and no genuine frights.

That the movie isn't scary is not for lack of trying. Throughout, Craven attempts to jolt the audience, each time by having someone unexpectedly enter the frame to the accompaniment of some loud, thudding chord on the soundtrack.

Craven carts out that device about once every five minutes. Each time, the audience sits there, undisturbed.

Christina Ricci plays a segment producer for a late night talk show, who, driving with her younger brother one night, gets into a bad car accident. Into this already stressful situation -- they're struggling to rescue a woman who's trapped in her car -- the film injects a superfluous werewolf, who tears the woman to pieces and also takes small chunks out of Ellie (Ricci) and brother Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg)."

2005-02-24T10:32:00.000-08:00

CBS News | Christina Ricci 'Cursed' | February 24, 2005 11:00:13: "Christina Ricci is no stranger to the supernatural, having starred in big screen versions of 'The Addams Family,' 'Casper,' and 'Sleepy Hollow.'

Her latest film film, 'Cursed,' finds her fighting a new beast.

'I was really, really excited' to get the call from director Wes Craven to do this film, Ricci tells The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith.

'I just finished doing 'Monster,' and it was heavier. I came back to L.A., and they're, like, 'Oh, there's this Wes Craven murder film,' ' Ricci says. 'And I thought, 'Oh, cool. I'd do that kind of movies in that kind of genre. I should probably work for him.' '

Craven and writer Kevin Williamson, the creators of 'Scream,' teamed up once again to offer in 'Curse' a twist on classic monster fables, unleashing omens into the modern world. "

Ricci's 'Prozac Nation' finally set for release

2005-02-21T11:23:00.000-08:00

CHRISTINA RICCI - PROZAC NATION FINALLY SET FOR RELEASE: "CHRISTINA RICCI's movie PROZAC NATION is finally set to see the light of day more than for years after it was made - on cable TV.

The adaptation of ELIZABETH WURTZEL's 1994 bestselling depression memoir, which features Ricci as the pill-popping Wurtzel and JESSICA LANGE as her mother, reportedly sat on the shelf for such a long time after a negative reaction from test audiences.

But the $9 million (GBP4.7 million) movie will now be released on American cable network STARZ! next month (MAR05).

STEPHAN SHELANSKI, senior vice president of programming for the network, tells ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, 'It's a good film. (The movie's difficult subject matter) may have had a hard time attracting people to theatres.

'Starz! is in 15 million homes, so if the movie reaches 20 per cent of our viewers, that's 3 million right there.'

Bosses at MIRAMAX, who plans to release the film on DVD eventually, say of the reported $900,000 (GBP473,684) deal, '(It's) a great way for a larger audience to see the film.'"

Ricci to guest on 'Joey'

2005-02-14T12:57:00.000-08:00

baltimoresun.com - Ricci to guest on 'Joey': "Christina Ricci, who will soon be seen fighting werewolves in movie theaters, will also drop in on 'Joey' later this month.

Ricci will guest-star on the Feb. 24 episode of the NBC sitcom, playing Joey's (Matt LeBlanc) sister Mary Teresa. Visiting Joey and her sister Gina (Drea de Matteo) in Los Angeles, Mary Teresa won't let her siblings forget that she's become a socialite and that she's loaded.

The guest spot -- one day before the release of her latest film, the Wes Craven werewolf movie 'Cursed' -- is a fairly rare one for Ricci, whose previous series work consists only of a 'Malcolm in the Middle' guest appearance and a recurring part on 'Ally McBeal' in 2002.

She also may not be the first actress to play Mary Teresa. Mimi Lieber is credited as playing Joey's sister in the 'Friends' episode 'The One Where Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister,' which aired in 1997."

Gallo berates Christina Ricci

JoBlo.com Movie News: Ebert talks Bunny with Gallo: "Now despite disagreeing with the man on obvious points like that, I do still admire his artistic integrity and look forward to seeing THE BROWN BUNNY myself, if only to compare it to his first film, which I really liked a lot, BUFFALO '66. Actress Christina Ricci once described that film as one of the worst experiences of her life. Of course, Gallo wouldn't be Gallo unless he responded with a comment or two of his own: 'It was OK when she wasn't drunk on the set. I think she's an alcoholic -- it was either that, or she was on cough syrup the whole time."

Ricci's nice breasts get new tatoo

2004-08-30T10:07:00.000-07:00

Seeing stars: "Everyone knows that actress Christina Ricci has the most memorable eyes in Hollywood, but did you know she also has the best . . . well, read on.
Ricci recently dropped in to the Electric Ladyland tattoo parlor on Frenchmen Street for some ink work. That's the favored locale for celebs, I guess: Marisa Tomei got a flower there once, Harry Anderson got an 18-inch parrot on his back and Billy Bob Thornton had one of his three 'Angelina' tattoos inked there but it was hardly dry before she walked out of his life.
Anyway, in walks Ricci and boyfriend actor Adam Goldberg, who was filming 'Frankenstein' here. He gets a woman's head with butterfly wings on his collarbone, but Ricci goes for a retro-styled sparrow flying off of her right breast.
Observed Ladyland proprietor Annette LaRue: 'Her breasts are flawless. Just about the best I've seen.'
And, in her line of work, she's probably seen many.
By the way, Ricci tipped $150 for the $150 job. We like celebrities who do that. "

Christina Ricci's strange phobia

Send out the clowns: "Alas, even the great Johnny Depp reportedly won't work with clowns, which is weird considering the way everyone was dressed on the set of 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' but who am I to judge?
Celebrity phobias abound: Billy Bob Thornton can't work with antique furniture in the room and actress Christina Ricci has a fear that sharks will enter swimming pools through the filtration systems and this one is so out there, it doesn't have a fancy name like coulrophobia.
Anyway, I stray. The happy ending to this story is that, for the following two nights of the Essence Festival, Ronald McDonald was allowed back into the Superdome to work the crowd. "

Ricci Famous

Ricci Famous - [Sunday Herald]: "From Mermaids to Monster via The Addams Family, Christina Ricci is well known for her darker side. But in her new film, directed by Woody Allen, she's lightening up. She tells all to Shari Roman

Out of the corner of my eye, I spot Christina Ricci dashing around the lush garden of an opulent hilltop mansion just off the crest of Mulholland Drive in LA. She calls out, as she dodges through patio furniture. "I'm coming, just a moment, nearly there." A loud thump is heard. Then she's inside the house, sprinting from room to room. "I'll be there in a moment." Another loud thump, then suddenly she swoops into the kitchen, waif-slim, barefoot and delicately rumpled in jeans and a green T-shirt.
As she scans the counters, her short hair swings away from her pale shoulders revealing that world-class, heart-shaped face dominated by huge eyes and rimmed by dark lashes."

From rags to Ricci

2004-07-19T10:05:00.000-07:00

Scotland on Sunday - The Review - From rags to Ricci: "GIVEN that she has been a ragbag of neuroses and in therapy 'for most of my life', Christina Ricci appears remarkably sane. Only 24, she admits she probably would have preferred to have been catapulted to adulthood without passing go. At 12, Ricci was delighted to be one of the first girls in her class to boast breasts. Her incipient sexuality proved a hindrance in some ways but did help her land a series of roles as female misfits and angst-ridden teens. Growing up in the public eye certainly accelerated the maturing process.

Some of Ricci's roles have reflected her own development. In Woody Allen's latest, Anything Else, she plays Jason Biggs's girlfriend, an actress with an eating disorder which reflects her own anorexia when she was 14. She confesses to a dark temper, a certain degree of paranoia and once covered up all the mirrors in her house because she couldn't stand to look at herself. "

Christina Ricci Interview

2004-06-07T07:46:00.000-07:00

Christina Ricci Interview"Charlize Theron is getting most of the attention for Monster for her physical transformation into serial killer Aileen Wournos. Her performance in the film is balanced by that of Christina Ricci, who plays Wournos’s love, Selby Wall. Selby’s character is not as well documented as Aileen’s, yet writer/director Patty Jenkins incorporated her into the story.
Ricci plays Selby like a helpless child, waiting for Aileen to take her away and care for her. She spends most of the movie in the dark about Wournos’ murders, but must face reality by the end. Ricci, most famous as Wednesday Addams, had never played the typical child. Her early roles in Mermaids, Casper and the Addams Family movies were still take charge kids, continuing into teenage roles in The Opposite of Sex, The Ice Storm and more. "

Ricci in 'Anything Else' to be released December 16

2004-05-03T10:25:00.000-07:00

Recently Released Videos and DVDs (washingtonpost.com): "'Anything Else' (R): In yet another Manhattan romantic comedy, Woody Allen tries to extend the shelf life of his screen persona by hiring Jason Biggs as his alter ego. It's a pretty banal affair, in which Biggs plays Jerry Falk, a twenty-something New Yorker with familiar Allen hallmarks. He's a gag writer. He has regular sessions with a shrink who says nothing. He's toying with writing a novel about a godless universe. And he's in a frustrating romantic relationship with a sexually repressed uptown girl (Christina Ricci). Biggs hems and haws and utters one-liners but he's not entirely convincing. Allen plays Jerry's mentor, a schoolteacher-cum-philosopher named David Dobel, who inspires and poisons Jerry's mind with advice about life and relationships. But even he seems ersatz, artificial. The title prompts this burning question: Can Woody do anything else? Contains sexual situations, sexual language and drug use. "

Christina Ricci and Charlize Theron in Monster

Christina Ricci and Charlize Theron in Monster
Monster is an indie film shot on a tiny budget over 29 days in the heat of central Florida. It is a strong directorial debut but it does have its flaws. It is a teensy bit try-hard and the Christina Ricci lesbian role is completely underwritten so the supposed great love of Aileen’s life comes across as a caricature, swamped by the overwhelming strength of the Wuornos character. Jenkins succeeds in garnering empathy for a damaged woman who lost her way. Was she really a lesbian? Wuornos herself never claimed to be and Jenkins leans on the looking-for-love theory that landed Wuornos in the arms of a woman. Monster is a devastating story but the journey is well worth taking if only to watch Charlize transform herself so radically. It is also good to see the great Bruce Dern, one of only a few actors to have "killed" John Wayne on screen, in a supporting role.
