This Christina Ricci is a golfer who thinks women are making inroads on the greens

April 16th, 2008 admin

If we’re honest about it, male golfers will admit the course, from tee to green, still can be a rather chauvinistic place.

Leave a putt short and we’ll say to ourselves, “Oh, come on; hit it, Alice!” Play a round with our wives or girlfriends or sisters and we’ll find it difficult, some of us, not to be impatient as the “ladies” hit from the forward tees. See a beautiful female golfer on the next fairway? See us walk into a tree.

Christina Ricci knows, though, that golf is no longer a man’s world. In A Girl’s On-Course Survival Guide to Golf: Tee to Green and In-Between, she offers tips on skills, etiquette, rules and more. She’s qualified to give such advice; after playing just five years, her handicap is an outstanding 5.3. She answered questions about the book (she has a Web site, too; see www.golfsurvivalguide .com) in an interview.

Anna Friel and Christina Ricci Consider Plastic Surgery

April 16th, 2008 admin

In the ever more obsessed with appearance land of Hollywood, not all young actresses have had cosmetic procedures — yet. But that doesn’t mean they won’t. Make Me Heal takes a look at two popular young actresses as they consider the future of their faces.
British beauty and love interest on ABC’s Pushing Daisies hasn’t had plastic surgery yet, but at 31-years old can see it in her future. In fact, she can reportedly see it in the rearview mirror of her car, “But show me a woman in her 30s who, when she’s in her car and stuck at traffic lights doesn’t look in the mirror, then pull her face back with her palms and think, ‘Does that look better?’” However, the actress does acknowledge that, “A bit of maintenance here and there is fine, but you want to grow older a little gracefully.” So far, Make Me Heal thinks Anna Friel is doing fine on her own, but won’t think any less of her acting abilities when she does go in for plastic surgery.

Really, Christina Ricci is just acting weird

March 27th, 2008 admin

Christina Ricci is not a weirdo.

True, she’s played the girlfriend of a female serial killer, a morbid child, a sex addict, a teenage seductress and a girl who talks to a ghost.

And yes, in her latest film, the modern fairy tale “Penelope,” which comes out Friday, she plays a young woman born with the snout of a pig.

But, you know, she’s just acting.

“I think if you look at all these roles, they’re all extreme situations, but they’re all human stories,” she says on the phone from Los Angeles

“I find that as an actor the more interesting characters to play are usually the ones who are in some sort of pain or turmoil,” she says. “Because, you know, when people are happy, they don’t generally do much.”

Besides, what is normal?

“I don’t know what normal is. I think anyone suffering from the same human condition as the rest of us falls into the normal category,” she says.

Christina Ricci lightens up a bit in Penelope

March 27th, 2008 admin

Christina Ricci can be forgiven a little trepidation for wondering when her latest movie, the adult fairy tale Penelope, would hit theatres. It was at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. It was 20 minutes longer there.

And the longer a Ricci movie takes to hit the screen, the more you have to wonder if she sweating it with an “Oh, no, here we go again.”

There was Prozac Nation (2001), which wasn’t even released. And The Gathering, Miranda, Cursed, Pumpkin and most recently, Home of the Brave, nearly a new millennium’s worth of theatrical no-shows or nearly no-shows.

“I have had films I’ve made that didn’t come out at all,” she says, philosophical beyond her just-turned 28 years. “And usually that’s a good thing. They’re doing me a favour.”

It’s a perspective that comes from being well-known in the business since Mermaids (1990), a “name” since The Opposite of Sex (1998).

Christina Ricci’s action star dreams

March 27th, 2008 admin

Washington (ANI): After doing a race-car thriller, actress Christina Ricci has been bitten by the action bug, and she now wants to be a full blown action star. The 28-year-old star wants to reinvent herself as a big budget action star as she loved doing Speed Racer. The Addams Family star is now calling on directors to offer her more high-impact roles.

“I just did Speed Racer. There’s a lot of action and fighting. I really got into it. Ever since then I want to be an action star. I’m too small to be a reasonable action star. But I can be a spy, because it’s good to be small if you’re a spy. Because I can fit into small spaces,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

March 9th, 2008 admin

No offense intended, but a pig snout is very becoming on Christina Ricci. The actress is lovably adorable in the adorably lovable Penelope, a fairy-tale romance that’s a perfect mix of Ricci’s oddball sensibilities and her inherent sweetness.
