Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for June 5, 2015 Dear Gossips, Melissa McCarthy’s Spy opens this weekend. So far, the reviews are excellent.

Movie Reviews and Previews Melissa McCarthy redeemed I loved Melissa McCarthy on Gilmore Girls, so I was glad to see her get a mainstream break in Bridesmaids in 2011, but nothing McCarthy did after that lived up to the promise of Bridesmaids. That movie made McCarthy seemed like a comedic tour de force, someone with the ability By Sarah • May 26, 2015 11:11 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lady Ghostbusters are now in business We’ve been talking about revisiting Ghostbusters in some form or another for years now.

Movie Reviews and Previews Melissa & Bill’s big night The highlight of TIFF tonight is probably the premiere for St Vincent at 9pm at the Princess Of Wales theatre. The festival is honouring Bill Murray. They’re telling fans to dress up as him. And of course, he’ll put on a show, like he always does. All that By Lainey • Sep 05, 2014 03:31 pm

Melissa McCarthy The Melissa McCarthy Problem I’ve been having something of a Melissa McCarthy problem for the last few months.

Assy Style Worst Dressed: Melissa McCarthy It pains me to have to say it. But you know that I'm right. I looked at that dress, felt disappointed, and then went back to look at McCarthy's award season to see what I wanted instead. I mean, it's hard to say. All By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 04:59 pm
BFFs Worst SAG Choker: Kristen Wiig I like Kristen Wiig so much but that f-cking choker was so objectionable to me it almost affected how I felt about the wearer, this is what you risk with a terrible accessory. Like, I’m all for understated Balenciaga. And in many ways, Kristen Wiig is very understated Balenciaga. By Lainey • Jan 30, 2012 11:34 am
Golden Globes 2012 GG Worst Bridesmaids: Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph Easy. Retract your claws. Read a few lines and then see if maybe you want to punch me.
