Christina Ricci criticises actresses who want to play strippers

Christina Ricci has criticised her Hollywood contemporaries for glamorising stripping and pole dancing through film roles and their antics on nights out.

Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba have both recently played strippers on film (in I Know Who Killed Me and Sin City respectively) while Lindsay and fellow party-girl Paris Hilton are frequently spotted entertaining their men friends with pole and lap-dancing routines on nights out.

Christina said recently: “It used to be something that we [women] were sort of ashamed of. You didn’t want to admit to people that you were a stripper.”

“But now, the hottest thing to say is ‘I can work a pole!’ Who gives a f***? But it’s a huge weird thing.”

“I mean, you see actresses, and their passion project is to play a stripper. It’s just stupid.”
