Ricci not ready for matrimony yet
From our ANI Correspondent

Washington, May 9: Even though her family wants her to settle down with beau Adam Goldberg, actress Christina isn't ready as yet to say 'I Do'.

Ricci has been dating Goldberg since 2003. Though the couple separated briefly in 2006, they got together after only a few months apart.

Now, the two are under-pressure from their respective families to tie the knot.

"Although I feel like if we didn't have a wedding, my family would be mad at me and Adam's family would be mad at him," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

However, Ricci insists that she isn't ready for matrimony as yet.

"I think about that (marriage) a lot. Sometimes it sounds really good, but then I'm not sure I'd want to go through with a wedding. I'm definitely more at a time in my life where I want to settle down," she added.

The actress will soon be seen on the big screen in 'Black Snake Moan'.

Christina Ricci Isn't Ready To Have Her Own "Addams Family" Just Yet

Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - Christina Ricci has grown up on screen but she has reached the age where she wants to settle down in her real life.

The 27-year-old actress, who rose to fame as a child in films such as "Addams Family Values" and "Casper, "is considering marrying her boyfriend Adam Goldberg.

She told U.K. Tatler magazine, "I'm definitely more at a time in my life where I want to settle down... Sometimes it sounds really good, but then I'm not actually sure I'd want to go through with the wedding. Although I feel like if we didn't have a wedding, my family would be mad at me, and Adam's family would be mad at him."

However, the brunette star can see the positives of becoming a "Mrs." She continued, "I don't want to deal with it because you know you're going to get in trouble. I just want to be married, or just engaged. Basically, I just want a ring. And the tax break."

Christina recently appeared much thinner and sans her famous curves at the Met in New York. However, rather than buckling to the Hollywood trend of a size zero, the actress lost weight for a role.

She said, "When I did 'Ice Storm' and 'The Opposite of Sex,' I was fifteen and sixteen. Realistically women do change a lot so I just lost my baby fat. As I have gotten older, I am starting to look more like my mother. But in this film ["Black Snake Moan"], she is someone that doesn't take care of herself and I wanted her to look like that. I wanted her to look unhealthy."

Christina stars with Justin Timberlake in the upcoming feature.

Love the tax quote. But I wouldn't mind if she got married. I mean realistically I've got a better chance at winning the lottery than marrying Christina. Plus she's been with Adam for roughly 4 years, so she's in a long term and stable relationship. And he seems to be the right guy for her. So good luck to them if they decide to take that step.
