McCarthy would star as the villain in Disney’s next live-action remake of an animated classic

From Gaspar Noe’s wild acid trip to Timothee Chalamet’s addiction drama, these were the highs and lows of the 2018 Toronto Film Festival.

The R-rated Muppet comedy finds puppets having sex, doing drugs, watching porn, and so much more. Too bad none of it’s funny.

Ya girl Melissa McCarthy is at it again — and by “it” we mean making another comedy with her husband / director Ben Falcone.

Elizabeth Banks is the latest star to join The Happytime Murders, a live-action / Henson puppet hybrid involving a puppet murder mystery in a world where man and Kermit live together in harmony.

According to Box Office Mojo, five of the last eight Melissa McCarthy movies have grossed more than $100 million at the domestic box office. I tend to prefer Melissa McCarthy in supporting or co-lead roles, but the box-office numbers speak for themselves: McCarthy sells tickets...

Last year’s Ghostbusters reboot was supposed to be the start of an entire new franchise (or perhaps even a universe of franchises) around the venerable ’80s horror comedy. Sony Pictures, which owns the rights to bust ghosts on the big screen, even created this new production company, Ghost Corps, to lead the charge on all these various efforts. There was talk of an all-male Ghostbusters to accompany the all-female team we got from director Paul Feig. And a new cartoon series was put into development as well. But since the movie opened to just so-so reviews and box office last year, developments on this front have been as quiet as Spook Central after a total protonic reversal.

Whether or not there’s any “Spicey” left to parody by the time SNL returns this fall, Melissa McCarthy’s impression gave the beleaguered Press Secretary one perfect (and public!) sendoff. The ride isn’t over yet, however, as SNL releases delightful outtakes from McCarthy filming in NYC.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, because you almost certainly haven’t — think The Heat, but instead of tough cookie Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy teams with a street-smart puppet to bust criminal scum. Step aside, Anomalisa, a new puppet comedy has arrived to freak out audiences and challenge the boundaries of what can be considered marketable for a mass audience.

Ol’ Spicey gave us a taste of Melissa McCarthy’s SNL return this weekend (from another coast at that), presumably warming up for the comic actress’ full-fledged return in May. Don’t expect Sean Spicer to actually weigh in on the episode, as the White House Press Secretary claims not to watch any of the show (his boss would probably get mad).

It made sense of SNL to hire Melissa McCarthy for a fifth hosting gig, rather than rely on a weekly Sean Spicer impression. Nonetheless, our first live coast-to-coast SNL show managed to coax McCarthy’s Spicer out for Easter, and with an intriguing twist at that.

'I feel like my dad and Sean Spicer had a baby, and it’s me,' McCarthy joked.
