Christina Ricci Not Headed To Altar

Written by: Julie on 4 June 2009 | 8 Comments |

Reports have surfaced that Christina Ricci and her fiancé, comedian Owen Benjamin, have called off their engagement.

The couple met in 2008 on the set of the movie All’s Faire In Love. They announced their relationship to the press in October of that year and got engaged in March of 2009.

Is it any wonder these two aren’t getting married after all? How about really taking the time to get to know each before you plan on marriage? Why does Hollywood always seem to forget that part?

These people break engagements like children break toys, I swear to god they do.

Here’s my message to Hollywood; slow down, take a deep breath, and think about what you’re doing before you try to make that kind of commitment to someone else. Marriage is supposed to be a pretty big deal, not something you do for the hell of it.

There should be a yearlong waiting period before couples can get engaged in Hollywood. I’d be curious to see if this would cut down on the number of broken engagements.

After all, “I Do” is supposed to be forever.

@KOW My hubby thinks she’s hot in some kind of elvira way too, but I just don’t see it.

I’ve always thought she was attractive. At least she doesn’t look like every other Hollywood actress out there. She has her own unique look.

You’re right Michelle, Christina Ricci definitely has a unique look. I think she’s an acquired taste though.

I don’t like Christina Ricci as a redhead. She looks much better with her natural hair color. The red hair just makes her look creepy. It’s so unnatural.

Life & Beauty Weekly: Expert Q+A

Q: "My husband always includes his mother in our family outings, but I would prefer she not join so often. What can I do?"

A: "This is a tricky situation since you don’t want to upset or alienate either your husband or his mother. But it’s also perfectly reasonable to expect some private family time.

Before you do anything, think about how the rest of your family feels. Do your kids love spending time with her? How important is it to your husband that she comes along? Be sure to consider their needs and how valuable their relationships are so you understand better why she is included so often.

Then talk to your husband in private. Tell him you like spending time with your mother-in-law, but say you crave more bonding time as a nuclear family. (Your husband may not even realize how frequently he invites her.) Make it clear that you don’t want to cut her out of all family outings, but try to work together to find a way to limit the amount or types of activities she joins. For example, agree to invite her for just a portion of your weekend rather than the entire thing. That way, she’ll feel included and you’ll still have time together as a family."

Men’s Life Today: Expert Q+A

Q: "I have a unibrow -- two eyebrows that connect in the middle, meeting as one. How do I split the Siamese twins into two self-sufficient brows? And how do I do this without making that area look too obviously manscaped?"

A: "I won’t ask how long you’ve been sporting this Cro-Magnon beast (maybe you kept hoping the caveman look would come back some day?), but now that you’ve manned up to the task of taming it, there are a few things you should know.

First, maybe you should think about switching barbers. A good barber should have taken care of this the last time you got a haircut (with a little tact and a lot of skill). But if you want to try and tackle it on your own, we’ll tell you how.

Second, it’s an old wives’ tale that the more often you shave, the thicker the hair will grow back.

That said, take a beard trimmer, switch it to the No. 1 or 2 setting (for a close cut) and run it over your eyebrows to thin out the hair. Then use a razor to remove the hair in the middle. For a guidepost on how much hair to remove, use the inside corner of your eye -- that’s where the brows should start. Next, use a pair of tweezers to remove any other superficial hairs and flyaways, being careful to stay away from plucking the arch of the eyebrow -- that’s when you’ll risk looking too manicured. And believe me, your girlfriend doesn’t want to be seen with a man whose eyebrows look nicer than hers.

If this is starting to sound too complicated, consider heading to a salon esthetician. She can help determine the best shape for your brows (straight or with an arch) based on your face shape and features. But stay away from waxing -- it looks more obviously “manscaped,” and the hair grows back unevenly. If you’ve read this far and your unibrow is starting to get cold feet, don’t worry: We heard they’re casting extra werewolves for the next Twilight movie."
