Melissa McCarthy

Hey, remember that Tinker Bell sketch from 'SNL' a while back, when Aidy Bryant played a bawdy version of the beloved Disney fairy? If only we could have a film version of that. Well, prepare for the next best thing. Melissa McCarthy is set to star in a live-action Tinker Bell film from 'Night at the Museum' director Shawn Levy and 'Neighbors' writer Nicholas Stoller. Magical!

Starting off in Hollywood is rarely a glamorous endeavor -- rather, it's one the requires hard work, patience, and a handful of really bad side gigs meant to supplement a budding star's cash flow until they hit the big time. Melissa McCarthy might be one of our biggest stars, but McCarthy definitely paid her dues before rocketing to the star stratosphere.

At this point, any new 'Ghostbusters' movie has been fancasted within an inch of its life. Any actor working today under the age of 40? They've been considered for the 'Ghostbusters' movie.

Melissa McCarthy is back, but not with her 'Bridesmaids,' 'The Heat' and 'Spy' director Paul Feig, surprisingly. Warner Bros. unveiled the new 'Tammy' trailer on 'Good Morning America' Tuesday morning, previewing the comedy queen's next wave of shenanigans under the direction of her real-life husband Ben Falcone.

With plenty of buzz from this weekend's upcoming Justin Timberlake-hosted installment of 'SNL, the long-running sketch comedy series seems to have gotten the message to stick with its strongest players.

Is Melissa McCarthy a movie star yet? The opening weekend of 'Identity Thief' suggests that yes, she is. After all, all of those people weren't flocking to this movie because of Jason Bateman (as delightful as he is). Anyway, all of this pretty much means that McCarthy's asking price just doubled.

‘Mike & Molly’ star Melissa McCarthy was the surprise winner at last night’s Emmy Awards, taking Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy. The nominees for the award — including Tina Fey and Amy Poehler — broke tradition by all appearing onstage together before the winner was announced like they were competing in a beauty pageant.
