We were reading up on our celebrity gossip when we came across an article from People magazine. Apparently the Oscar-nominated actress, Melissa McCarthy, was referred to as "tractor-sized" in a nasty film review earlier this year.  From People: 

"The review – written in February by Rex Reed of the New York Observer, who panned the film, Identity Thief and called McCarthy a "female hippo" and a "gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious" – drew criticism nationwide."

However, being the confident, and beautiful, woman she is, McCarthy reacted calmly with her only question being, "why would someone O.K. that?"

We love Melissa and think her humor and charm make her a delight to watch on screen! We can't wait to see her alongside Sandra Bullock in The Heat later this month!

What's YOUR favorite Melissa McCarthy film?! 

Look, I get it. I get that the whole MILF thing has evolved into some “you must be perfect and look as if you’ve never been pregnant or looked at a cookie” mentality. I get that Britney gets called fat just because she doesn’t look like she used to – and that’s wrong. I get that Salma Hayek heard ALL about it because she actually looked pregnant with her entire body, and not like she was smuggling a basketball.

However, I also remember the I heard the term and how hard I laughed. (Sitting in a theater watching American Pie.)

It was awesome. Those two teenage boys licking the frame and going ape over Jennifer Coolidge.

I mean LOOK at her. She’s hawt, yo.

She’s hot and she does NOT:

1. weigh less than 110 pounds when her body is meant to weigh more.

2. look like a 20 year old when is she twice that age.

3. have skinny thighs.

She DOES:

1. carry herself with confidence

2. dress for HER body type

3. exude an “I could be the best thing to ever happen to you” aura

And THAT, my friends, is what I have in mind when I think of MILF. I’m done being a little girl, and I’m sick of all the images that keep trying to tell me that I’m supposed to aspire to be 15 forever.

So tell me, who is YOUR role model for being fabulous at any age or weight?
