Christina Ricci: The newest bobblehead on the block

Christina Ricci has openly discussed her own negative body image in the past:

"I did get all my tips from a Tracey Gold Lifetime movie on anorexia. It taught me what to do."

"There was also [a film] on HBO starring Calista Flockheart when she was really young. She was bulimic and anorexic. She'd vomit into Tupperware containers and keep them in her closet. It was so crazy to me that for some reason it was appealing."

"It's lemon juice, water, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. I'm on a liquid fast. When I'm done I'll feel cracked out." (when asked what was in her water bottle)

"I'm a short 21-year-old girl who's not skinny. I don't have a sunny disposition, but I'm not gothic either. I don't have a gimmick. So I shouldn't really be successful. I tried hard to be pretty and be what I thought I was supposed to be and I couldn't do that."

She certainly seems to be at the lower end of her weight fluctuations these days...
