Melissa McCarthy Identity Thief


Melissa McCarthy Is a Fashionista in Jimmy Kimmel’s Clothes

Funny lady Melissa McCarthy dropped by Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! Monday night, talking about everything from her fashion designer dreams to her upcoming flick “Identity Thief”. In typical Hollywood form, one public appearance just isn’t enough. After chatting with Jimmy, Melissa headed straight to the red carpet for the premiere of “Identity Thief” and told “omg! Insider” all about how her outfit came together… which was surprisingly crafty.

Melissa McCarthy: My Daughters Aren’t Allowed to Watch Bridesmaids Yet

Melissa McCarthy’s children have yet to see her filthy, hilarious, awesome performance in Bridesmaids. McCarthy’s real-life husband, Ben Flacone, played her love interest in the 2011 hit Bridesmaids. But their daughters haven’t been able to see mom and dad on the big screen yet. “I have little tiny kids so they’ve seen Mike & Molly, but they haven’t seen Bridesmaids and they won’t see this for a while either,” the CBS star said of her new flick.

Melissa McCarthy is not your best friend anymore

To watch Melissa McCarthy as lovable chef Sookie St. James on seven seasons of the Gilmore Girls was to see an actress perfect the art of playing a sidekick. The moment feels prescient now. McCarthy’s brief, profane appearances in This Is 40 crack the movie open. With the new comedy Identity Thief, she gets a starring role. It might be great. It might be terrible. Either way, it’s hers, and for now at least, she’s a puppet off the strings, landing parts she wasn’t supposed to get in big movies where no one expects her to fade into the background, playing characters who need best friends of their own.

Melissa McCarthy on the Cover of “Michigan Avenue” Magazine

Melissa McCarthy shines on the cover of Michigan Avenue magazine’s current issue. Television put Melissa McCarthy on the map — think Gilmore Girls and Mike & Molly — but it was her hilarious, Oscar-nominated turn in the 2011 blockbuster Bridesmaids that really made audiences sit up and take notice. Now, freshly ensconced on the A-list, this farmer’s daughter from southwest of the city is stepping up for her first headlining film role. In an exclusive interview with Michigan Avenue, the actress opens up about loving the Midwest, brawling with Jason Bateman, and embracing her newfound stardom.

Melissa McCarthy steals identities, hearts in “Identity Thief”

Melissa McCarthy is a credit card stealing con, and her prey is Jason Bateman in the new comedy “Identity Thief.” Bateman is also a producer on the film, and early on he knew casting McCarthy would be the key to success. McCarthy liked the fact that this story blended her love of physical comedy with heart. Bateman says the transformation McCarthy’s character undergoes is one he can appreciate. All of McCarthy’s co-stars are now card carrying members of her fan club.

I am up for ‘Bridesmaids 2′: Melissa McCarthy

Actress Melissa McCarthy says she is willing to appear in the “Bridesmaids” sequel. Speculation about a sequel was rampant in the months after “Bridesmaids” became one of the surprise hits of 2011, but both Jon Hamm and Chris O’Dowd have said a sequel is unlikely, reported Digital Spy online. McCarthy appeared more positive about a potential “Bridesmaids 2″ when questioned.

Melissa McCarthy: Good Drag Takes a While!

What’s funnier than Melissa McCarthy? Melissa McCarthy in ridiculous hair and makeup. And lucky for us, the star dons some crazy-bad (or good, depending on how you look at it) crunchy curls and ’80s-inspired eye shadow, blush and lipstick in her new film, Identity Thief.

Kathy Bates Update: Surgery and an Award

Kathy Bates Update: Breast Cancer Surgery and an Emmy Award

Kathy Bates Update: Surgery and an Award

Kathy Bates has just been named the winner of the Outstanding Guest Actress at the 2012 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which are held a week before the main Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony on September 23. She won the award for her performance as the cigar-smoking ghost of the former star of the hit CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men”, Charlie Sheen. She won TV’s most-coveted trophy on Saturday at the Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Bates later thanked Sheen:

“But most of all my thanks and respect to the inimitable Charlie Sheen without whom this recognition simply would not have been possible,” the actress said.

The award-winning actress had just revealed that she recently underwent a double mastectomy last week after doctors found a lump in her breast. In 2003, Kathy was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, but she did not reveal her illness to the general public until 2009. She made a full recovery and had been cancer-free until she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Kathy Bates Tweets:

“Hey All, sorry for the long silence. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago & am recovering from a double mastectomy.”

“I don’t miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry’s Law. ;-) Thanks for all the sweet tweets. Y’all kept me going.”

“Okay, Tweeters. Nighty night. Y’all have been amazing in your love and support. Right back at you. Y’all are in my prayers tonight. Peace…”

Oscar-winner Bates starred in NBC’s drama “Harry’s Law” as Harriet “Harry” Korn, a curmudgeonly ex-patent lawyer. Despite good ratings, the show was cancelled by the Network. But Kathy may get the last laugh: she’s nominated for another Emmy Award for Best Actress for her role in Harry’s Law.
