Christina Ricci is opening up about her past battle with anorexia and says her work as a young actress added to the pressures of trying to fit a Hollywood standard or risk being criticized. The Pan Am star told panel members of The Talk on Friday that she was one of the fortunate ones to receive help early on for her anorexia. “Well, I was lucky. I only really suffered from it for about a year and a half.” She added that many people suffer from the disease for many years or perhaps all of their lives. “But I was put into therapy very quickly, so I was able to overcome it.” “I think it’s just really awkward to go through puberty, and go through growing up and becoming a woman, when everybody is always kind of looking at you,” Ricci said. “And especially — you’re doing fittings for a movie, and people are judging how this looks on you and how that looks on you. And you just get very uncomfortable and you never want anyone to be able to criticize you.” When asked what advice she would give teen girls currently suffering from anorexia, she said, “I would say that if you feel like you are starting to obsess too much about the way you look, then definitely get some kind of therapy or help very quickly. Because that can just grow into an obsession that you can’t control.”

Bel Ami, the period drama starring Twilight heart throb Robert Pattinson with Uma Thurman will have its world premiere out of competition at the Berlin international film festival. The drama, the feature debut of Brit directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, is based on a novel by French writer Guy de Maupassant and is the story of a young man’s rise to power in Paris. Christina Ricci, Kristin Scott Thomas and Colm Meaney also star. Stephen Soderbergh’s action thriller Haywire, featuring Michael Fassbender, Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor and Channing Tatum is also heading to Berlin, for a special gala screening in what will be its German premiere. Filling out Berlin’s competition lineup are Nikolaj Arcel’s Danish epic A Royal Affair starring Mads Mikkelsen, Canadian drama Rebelle from director Kim Nguyen and French film Coming Home from Frederic Videau. Berlin also upped the red carpet quotient with two star-studded production, both running out of competition: the martial arts drama Flying Swords of Dragon Gate starring Jet Li and James Marsh’s Shadow Dancer with Clive Owen, Andrea Riseborough and Gillian Anderson. The full Berlin lineup will be announced in the coming weeks. The 62nd Berlinale runs Feb. 9-19.

As the saying goes, politics makes for strange bedfellows. Or in the cast of Maggie (Christina Ricci) and Congressman Rawlings (Chris Beetem) on “Pan Am,” bedfellows make for strange politics. During the Jan. 8 episode of the period drama, the more than opinionated Maggie submitted an anonymous editorial to the Village Voice railing against the representative’s hypocrisy. But after a pleasant lunch with Rawlings, Maggie fell for him. Of course there’s still the lingering issue of that article. On Sunday’s (Jan. 15) show, Rawlings is none too pleased after reading the piece that calls him out on his double standards. He says, “I don’t appreciate sources with ‘inside knowledge’ conspiring with the enemy,” not realizing the “enemy” is right in front of him. Maggie is now focused on steering him in any direction that doesn’t point toward her. In other “Pan Am” news, Kate (Kelli Garner) tries to help out a couple of stewardesses mistaken for spies. And Dean (Mike Vogel) is chosen for an important flight, but then is replaced at the last minute. This is certain to make him unhappy. Here’s an exclusive first-look preview thanks to Zap2It.com. The episode airs Jan. 15 at 10 p.m. ET.

On ABC’s ‘Pan Am’ Christina Ricci plays a flight attendant at the start of the commercial jet age, when flying was glamorous. The women on the show may dress in 1960′s period clothing, but between takes they jump right back to the present.
