It’s no secret that we're a little obsessed with Melissa McCarthy. She’s brilliant, talented, and makes us laugh until we spit. Not to mention she has no time for anyone’s criticism of her appearance or the world's obsession with women's size. Hear, hear!

She's gone from popping up for mere minutes in 1999's Go to starring in her own potential summer blockbuster, Spy.
