Christina Ricci thinks Robert Pattinson is an “awesome” kisser. The Hollywood beauty worked with the British hunk on upcoming movie ‘Bel Ami’, and admits she was bowled over by his charm, claiming he is “amazing”.

She said: “It was really fun, I mean aesthetically we wore amazing costumes and hair and make-upwas great. And working with Rob was amazing. He’s such a great guy, so talented.

“He’s just great. We’d make fun of each other the whole time, like ‘Oh my God, we’re so goofy’ or, ‘My accent is so bad!’ ”

Discussing how good a kisser he was, she said: “Um yeah. He is pretty much awesome.”

The 30-year-old actress also claims she understands the cult appeal with Robert created by fans of his ‘Twilight’ character Edward Cullen. She told E! Online: “I understand where they’re coming from. He’s an awesome human being. He’s so funny and quirky and weird.”

Robert is believed to be dating his ‘Twilight’ co-star Kristen Stewart, and Christina reveals the pair met up while she was shooting ‘Bel Ami’ with him in Budapest. She said: “Yeah she visited. I love her, she is totally sweet. And he is great!”

Christina Ricci is not only making her first Broadway appearance, but she’s also debuting a brand new look. Before hitting the stage this fall for Time Stands Still, Ricci chopped off her long, luscious locks in favor of a wispy chin-grazing bob. “For the play they wanted this and it was time to make a drastic change,” Ricci explained to PEOPLE at The Blackberry Torch Launch Party in Los Angeles Wednesday night. “It feels good.” The pint-sized actress, who also brightened her bob with chestnut highlights, likes to mix it up. “I change my hair pretty much every six months,” said Ricci, “I’m one of those people that I like to change constantly, like I go blonde, dark, short, long. I can’t stop changing I like it.” Not that Ricci won’t be craving long hair in the future, saying “I’m getting extensions soon.”

Here is a video of Christina Ricci, Lea Michele and Anna Kendrick at the Blackberry Torch party from last night.

At last night’s Blackberry Torch launch in L.A., Christina Ricci couldn’t contain her feelings for her Bel Ami co-star Robert Pattinson. “We would just goof off and laugh while we were working—he’s a sweet guy and super funny…and a really good kisser!” she told us. And what was her favorite part of filming? “The costumes, the makeup and… Rob!” But Ricci admitted she hasn’t even seen the films that are responsible for his fame. “I was waiting for [The Twilight Saga films] to be on TV because the theaters were so crowded, but there’s no excuse!” Ricci also said it’s easy to understand why Kristen Stewart, who stopped by the set several times, is so smitten with her Twilight and real-life co-star Pattinson: “He’s so charming and such a smart guy. He’s so super organized and in charge of his career. He was actually giving me advice!” the veteran actress said.

On the cusp of her Broadway debut in “Time Stands Still” this Fall, Christina Ricci confessed at the recent Whitney Art Party in Soho that she has a “crippling fear” of performing in front of crowds. The prolific actress who isn’t camera shy said she gets “horrible” stage fright.

We love checking in with famous folks about their own personal New York: where they go, what they love and why they love it.
Today, we caught up with actress Christina Ricci, the star of the new thriller “After.Life,” opening in theaters Friday. Here, she spills about a few of her NYC faves:

1. Maritime Hotel (363 W. 16th St., 212-242-4300): “I remember seeing this building as a little kid when it was The Covenant House. I’d say, ‘If I ever ran away, this is where I’d stay.’ It’s like a fulfillment of a childhood fantasy.

2. Barney’s New York (660 Madison Ave., 212-826-8900): “I still love Barney’s — even if it’s just window shopping or walking through. I also love their jewelry department.

3. Forlini’s (93 Baxter St., 212-349-6779): “I used to eat here as a kid. Those red booths! Classic Italian food. Love it.

4. Metroplitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212-233-0507): “I really love the statue hall. When I was a teenager, I’d come here alone. It’s so peacful.”

5. Odeon (145 W. Broadway, 212-229-2670): “It’s so art deco and feels like classic NY to me.”

5. SoHo House (29 Ninth Ave., 212-627-9800): “It’s laid-back and loungey — you can play pool and just hang for hours.”

6. Intersection of Little Italy and Chinatown “I used to live in this neighborhood with my mom and still really love it.”

Her character wakes up in a mortician’s room after a car crash, not sure if she is dead or alive. To Ricci, the chilling film is ‘a sort of character piece.’

Playing a dead person in the creepy thriller “After.Life,” which opens in theaters Friday, was a painful experience for Christina Ricci.

The waif-like actress spends much of the movie reclining in a skimpy red slip — and sometimes nothing at all — on a cold porcelain table in a mortician’s preparation room.

“My spine and the back of my hips got bruised on the first day,” explains the former child star of “Mermaids” and “The Addams Family,” who had flown in to L.A. from London where she’s been making the period drama “Bel Ami” with everyone’s favorite vampire hunk, Robert Pattinson.

“I had to lie back down on the bruises,” she says of her many scenes supine on that table. “Finally, the doctor came and he said, ‘All I can do is give you painkillers.’ The crew tried to warm the table for me. Someone brought in an electric blanket. . . . But it was November and we were in a poorly insulated warehouse in New York City. I got sick.”

Clearly, Ricci is no stranger to suffering for her art. This is the actress who spent large chunks of time half naked and chained to a radiator for 2006′s “Black Snake Moan.” And “After.Life” was no less demanding. Co-written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker, Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo, the film casts Ricci as an unpleasant schoolteacher named Anna, who has a difficult relationship with longtime beau Paul (Justin Long). She also takes a lot of pills — purportedly for headaches — and is prone to nosebleeds in the shower.

Anna comes to the attention of the efficient and creepy mortician Eliot (Liam Neeson) when she attends a funeral. And that’s when the movie takes a turn for the weird. After she has a fight with Paul, a weepy Anna appears to die in a car crash.

Or does she?

When she wakes up she sees a white light; not the warm, inviting one described by those who believe they have brushed up against the afterlife, but a cold, sterile glare from the fluorescent light in the preparation room at Eliot’s mortuary.

She insists she’s still alive. Eliot, who says that he can communicate with the dead, tells Anna she’s fighting her demise and begins to prepare her body. She, of course, resists.

Despite the frightening nature of the film, Ricci hesitates to call “After.Life” a horror movie. “For me, the script read much more like a sort of character piece,” she explains. “I kind of missed the scariness of it because I was sort of taken in by this question of death and if you have feelings after you’re dead. If I woke up tomorrow dead, how would I feel? That’s what I talked to Agnieszka about when I first met her.”

Ricci liked the fact that she got to “sit in the middle of what it would be like to be dead. Anna has to believe at a certain point she is. I think in the beginning she believes it too.”

The actress put her trust in Neeson, who made the film before the death of wife Natasha Richardson a year ago from a ski accident.

“When you are in a situation with another actor this dynamic starts to exist where you have to trust and you have to give over to them,” she says. “I think that relationship is very organic to the situation.”

When making a movie, Ricci doesn’t socialize much, preferring to ruminate over her parts in her hotel room. Eventually, the characters begin to invade her psyche.

“Anna was really creeping in one morning when I woke up and looked in the mirror and said, ‘Oh, my God, I am so pale. I have gone Goth!’ ”
