| | Christina Ricci in watch-covered Christian Siriano: cute or tacky? | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Christina Ricci’s dress last night at the MTV Movie Awards was one of a kind Christian Siriano, selected from his Fall collection and emblazoned with real working Timex watch faces. There are also buttons, crystals, and beads creeping up around the right side of bodice. Siriano told People Magazine that he enjoyed the challenge, and that “you want to make the dress look fashion-forward and interesting without being campy.” Some people are loving this dress, but the shiny silk taffeta fabric looks cheap to me and it seems chintzy. It’s just a simple cocktail dress with some junk sewn into it, and I do find it a little tacky. (Not in these photos so much as in close ups.) I understand if you disagree and like it though, it’s kind of cool in a way, but it’s not my taste.
Paris Hilton also went too far in a Marco Squared sequin gunmetal dress with tacky black and white beading at the hem and neckline. Look at her spiked purse, oversized matchy jewelery and giant diamond earrings. She always makes Nikki look good in comparison, although Nikki’s dress is also fug.
Brooke Hogan was ridiculous as we’ve come to expect from her. She wore this tiny Jovani bright silver number with a cutout at the stomach and mesh at the hemline and around the neck. It takes some real self delusion to step out of the house like this. Look at her giant earrings and her bellybutton stud peeking out of the dress. Trashy perfection!
The Vampire Diaries’ Kat Graham actually toned it down, for her, in Maria Lucia Hohan. Look at her working that leg. Jolie’s meme really caught on, didn’t it? This is some ugly Dynasty style dress, complete with shoulder pads. Just take a look at Go Fug Yourself’s archives for Kat and you’ll see what a vast improvement this is though.

Christina Ricci covers the April issue of Marie Claire UK, and she’s wearing a yellow Louis Vuitton dress (or top) that looks suspiciously like the one worn by Lana Del Ray’s lips on the cover of British Vogue’s March issue. I think Christina is still promoting her starring role in the “Pan Am” television series even though the ratings haven’t been great and speculation has swirled of an inevitable cancellation. However, ABC maintains that the show is still in the running for a second season, so who knows. The photoshoot itself is quite lovely and springlike with lots of soft lighting and breezy fabrics. Not to mention airbrushed nips, which I’ve included at the bottom of this post. Here’s the subscriber’s cover of the magazine and some interview excerpts as well:
On hitting her 30s: “I’m so glad I’m not 20 years old any more. I was in a hurricane. I’m a lot calmer now. I don’t cause destruction for myself and others everywhere I go. I take things as they happen and I’ve learned to be calm about things. Troubleshoot as problems arise and just make the best out of things.”
On the importance of being herself: “I’ve always said to people you should never let anyone try to change who you are because the only commodity you really have is you individuality. There are a million actresses and that’s the only thing that makes you special.”
On her future man: “Somebody smart and funny that I love being with.”

I agree with Christina that reaching one’s 30s is generally a calmer period in life, but she’s only 32. Once she hits 35 or so, her attitude might change. I know that mine did, for I really miss the relative freedom of my early 20s. Still, maybe she has a real point in regards to something that she’s not quite clarifing, like say, relationship drama. As far as I’m aware, she broke off her engagement with Owen Benjamin in 2009, so the timing Christina hitting her 30s at that point makes sense.

We called it when guessing that “Pan Am” was probably like “Mad Men” but with stewardesses, since the show was promoted as a depiction of the social and sexual mores of the 1960s. Sunday night’s premiere was relatively well received by critics and audiences alike, but I personally found the show a bit hollow in terms of the human element. Indeed, the International Business Times agrees that “It’s bubblegum. It’s a glossy, well researched, and fairly well-executed piece of nostalgic candy” but that “an emotional core is needed if the show hopes to have any staying power.” The NY Times also (accurately) declares the show inferior to “Mad Men” but also distinguishes “Pan Am” as “tak[ing] a more forgiving look at the 1960s” and stops just short of describing the pilot episode as “Sex and the Cockpit.”
Still, it’s a rare pleasure to see Christina Ricci on television, and here are some candid shots of her while shooting “Pan Am” on location in New York City in August. Ricci’s character, Maggie, stands out from the other three primary stewardess characters in that she refuses to wear a girdle and often gets in trouble for her so-called “rebellious” nature. It’s a fitting role for Ricci, and she’s still doing the press rounds to promote the show, including this interview with the Huffington Post:
On The Glamour of “Pan Am”: It certainly does look glamorous and fun and beautiful, but it also reminds me about the clothes and having to have my makeup done like that every day. My mother told me it took her two hours every day to get ready during those times. It reminds me that getting dressed today — the way we get dressed — is also a luxury.
On Sexism In The 1960s: Yeah, there is that as well. You can’t show this period of time without acknowledging that it was a misogynistic period of time for women. There were certainly not just double standards but blatant rules that excluded women and were very hurtful to women.
I think they were having a good time. One thing I have to say about stewardesses — they were very much in charge of their own lives and sexuality. It was a job where they could sleep with who they wanted to and travel around and not be married. Actually, they couldn?t have the job if they were married. While certainly flirting with passengers was encouraged, sleeping with passengers was not encouraged and that is something we deal with in the show.
On Her “Pan Am” Character: I flout authority. My character, Maggie, uses the plane as her own personal runway. When she’s out and about, she’s the glamour queen and gets into fights and fights for everyone else’s rights. She has her nose in everything.
On Watching Her Old Movies: I look at it and think it’s funny because I look like such a kid. I think when you know yourself, you can recognize your little kid acting voice or the way I read a line. I’m more like, “Oh, look I was 12,” or, “Look what I looked like when I was 10.”
On Her Food Temptations: I have to say my favorite forbidden food is Cheetos and any kind of McDonalds. I once ate McDonalds three times in one day.

We’ve already discussed how Ricci has some lingering body image issues from her teens and young adulthood that are evidenced by her recent statement that she doesn’t look as good as the “average person” in a bikini. She usually comes across as quite honest and frank in interviews, so I’m wondering what to make of this admission that she often eats McDonalds. Is it possible to do so and still maintain such a lithe figure without delving into eating disorder territory? Whatever the case, Christina must be doing something right, for she is positively glowing in these set photos.

The adorably weird Christina Ricci covers the September issue of Nylon magazine to promote a few of her upcoming projects. One of them is a movie, Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star, that arrives in theaters this weekend and in which Ricci plays a waitress. The other project just happens to be her upcoming television series, “Pan Am,” a 1960s set drama that will air on ABC. I get the feeling that this show is kind of like “Mad Men” only with airline stewardesses, which means that we’ll get a hefty dose of fashion throwbacks and lots of commentary on the social mores of the era. It could be fun, no? Anyway, Ricci has a lot to say about the show, fashion, diet and exercise issues, the aging process, and why she’s heading to television:
On The Fashion Element Of “Pan Am”: “My mother was a model in that era, so I grew up looking at images of her. When I was a little girl I was sort of obsessed with the fact that my mother had been on the cover of Seventeen and I always wanted to look at her book, so I think it was ingrained in my mind.” Is she nostalgic for that era? “You know, it’s a lot of fun to be able to dress up like that, but picture today, in this heat, you have to put f&#*ing nylons on every day of your life. And the way they did their hair … today’s it’s such a luxury to get to throw a little dress on. I was looking at myself on my way out the door and I was like, ‘Your underwear is showing, but you don’t have any time. Leave.’ If this was the ’60s, I wouldn’t be able to do that.”
On Vintage: “I asked my stylist: ‘What’s the rule for when something becomes vintage and not just, like, last season?’ Seven years, apparently. So, seven years later I’ve brought my Alaia dresses out again.”
On The Women Of “Pan Am”: The ladies of “Pan Am,” described in the first episode as a “new breed of woman” by a young pilot, were educated, often tri-lingual girls in their twenties (”you were aged-out at 32 in those days,” says Ricci) with progressive, sexually liberated attitudes and model looks to boot. “They were the girls whose lives didn’t really revolve around men. They were having lives that were very much based on their own merits, their own education. Yes, a little bit on how they looked — weigh-ins, all that kind of stuff — but they were in something like the top 10 highest paid jobs with the men, and they got to travel and see the world in a way that at the time, people in America, let alone women in America, had no concept of. The second episode we got to Jakarta, and it’s like, What other women, other than stewardesses at that time, knew what Jakarta looked like?”
On Her Figure: “We all have to be in bikinis in the second episode,” she says of the show. Some of the girls are like, ‘I’m not dieting, screw it!’ And I’m, like, totally dieting; I’m eating protein and vegetables. And I’m doing my Pilates exercises at night, when I’m watching television.” She orders an omelet and a Diet Coke. “My Pilates instructor wrote out three different routines for me,” she continues. “I’ve worked out, OK, this one I can do in my dressing room, and this one in the studio at lunch … It’s going to be pretty funny. People are going to be like, ‘Um, Christina’s doing her thrust-walks in the hallway again.’”
There was a time when Ricci’s teenage weight fluctuations and battle with anorexia were well documented in the press, but these days the 31-year-old sees maintaining her figure as a pressure she, not the industry, puts on herself. “I’ve been doing this for a really long time and I used to hate feeling insecure. It’s the worst feeling in the world. So, I do a lot of things in advance so that I know I won’t have to feel like crap about myself. I think probably, in my late twenties, I became a lot more like, I’ll do what I can to make sure I look the way I like to look. But in the end, there’s only so much you can do and I’m not going to punish myself because I don’t look like the average person in a bikini.”
On Why She’s Doing TV: “They don’t make as many movies as they used to, so it’s a lot harder now and there’s no mid-range either. They either make these huge, big-budget ones or these tiny ones that may never see the light of day, or with some really unscrupulous people who take you to some far out location and then all of a sudden you get there and you’re like, ‘Who am I trapped out here with?’ So, it’s kind of difficult. And you know some of the best writing is on television, and I have to say, I spend most of my time watching TV. For years I’ve been saying I wanted to do television.”
On Sleeping 10 Hours Per Day: “Because I’m the oldest member of the cast, and we shoot in HD, so I’m like Dude! I don’t want to be, like, scary old-face. I’ve been using eye cream and all that sh-t since I was 18 because I knew, I just knew that age was going to walk right across my face. I use Proactiv because the lovely thing about my face now that I’m in my early 30s, I’m aging, but I’m also dealing with acne. And now - this is disgusting - but I get it on my back. I’m like, What am I? A pubescent boy?”
Admittedly, that last part really was gross, but I sort of appreciate that a Hollywood actress is willing to admit that she suffers from backne. Like, Gwyneth would never admit to such a pedestrian affliction, right? Even though and despite all of her privileged trappings, Goop really and truly does experience breakouts.
In another Goop comparison note, I like that Christina manages to admit that she worries about her weight, and works out/diets like the rest of us have to while also not sounding like a superiority freak about it. Instead of the whole, “I can be 38 and have two kids and wear a bikini is because I work my [expletive] ass off” nonsense, Christina phrases it in a self-depreciating way that also comes off as genuine. Yes, she has weight issues and won’t pretend not to obsess about her body at times, but she doesn’t go so far to talk about how exceptional she is just because she puts the work in, you know?
At any rate, “Pan Am” actually does sound like it might be an interesting show to watch, and I’ll probably check it out if I can wrestle the remote control away from my kid.

I’m told these are pictures of Christina Ricci…… I’m not buying it at all. This chick is pretty hot and exotic looking where as Christina is normally kinda odd or strange looking. I’m confused. I’d have to see her silly stripper tattoo on her boob to make a positive identification, but until then this is

Gracing the cover of the October issue of BlackBook magazine, Christina Ricci opens up about her personal life in the accompanying interview.
The ?Buffalo 66? actress, who looks absolutely fabulous in the photo spread, shared that she struggled with an eating disorder early in life.
Ricci shared, . "I had been really anorexic until I was like 16. They were going to hospitalize me, and I was worried about people force-feeding me through a tube. I didn't want that, so I fought the disease."
"I remember the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness when I was in the middle of it. My brain had basically become my biggest tormentor. I'd become afraid of myself."

I’m not asking what’s happened to Christina Ricci because I want to find out what she’s been working on professionally or who her new boyfriend is, I’m asking because she looks too wholesome. Where’s the chick in trashy bikini pictures with stripper tattoos on her boobs? That’s the Christina Ricci I want

I’m not trying to imply that Christina Ricci’s nipples were falling out, that would make life too easy for me, but I am trying to point out that even if she’s wearing a nice warm weather sundress….. Her nipples are looking chilly. I’ll never understand those sexy strange little protuberance,

Seriously guys, the celebrity news is Le Suck this morning, unless you want to hear about how Speidi’s “split” was fake (shocker) or want to see Spencer running around la Sasquatch, which I know you don’t. So instead here are some pictures of Christina Ricci at the closing (don’t you usually go to the opening?) of “The Artist is Present”, where some lady has been sitting on a chair and doing staring contests with people. Anyway, maybe in honor of how ass-backwards the world of art has become, it looks like Christina got herself dressed backwards. Maybe it’s to symbolize some deep philosophical meaning, but I’ve only had one cup of coffee and I can’t decipher what it might be. Or maybe she just likes fugly dresses and clunky shoes. It’s a toss-up, really.
