Bridesmaids MVP Melissa McCarthy’s A-List now.The actress, so memorable on TV’s Gilmore Girls and so alluring on her current show, Mike & Molly, has been tapped by Judd Apatow to co-star in his Knocked Up spin-off starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann.
McCarthy will play Ryan Lee’s (Super 8) mom in the comedy, which will see Rudd and Mann take center stage as fortysomething parents raising children to great hilarious effect.
Yay! I’m glad girlfriend is keeping busy these days.
The Emmys are coming up – and she’s got plenty of buzz coming off Mike & Molly’s freshman season – and her Bridesmaids director, Paul Feig, wants her to play the female lead to Jon Hamm in his next Apatow-produced venture, a project described as an unconventional love story.
I just couldn’t be happier for the erstwhile Sookie St. James.
