In recent therapy sessions on Jay Leno's couch, Christina Ricci continues to reveal more about what appears to be a crippling pathological fear of God's special creatures, The Animals. In February, Christina revealed to Jay that she hates monkeys (saying "I hate monkeys" no fewer than four times), and told a story about a monkey grabbing her boob on the set of Speed Racer.
