Ricci sets sights on children

Hollywood star Christina Ricci is desperate to become a mum now the duties of parenthood no longer impede an actress' career.

The 24-year-old Sleepy Hollow and Monster beauty admits she's been keen to mother a child for years and refuses to let her big screen ambitions crush her dreams of starting a family.

She says: "I've wanted to have a baby for a long time. I don't worry about interrupting my career because it doesn't seem to be a problem any more."
