So now the myth of her being a ghost is busted?
I beg to differ. I get my news feed from Google News and can state with certainty that the most important person on the planet is Kim Kardashian. Every day, practically without fail, Google includes a non-story about this non-celebrity. With some stories Google will have an option Interested/Not Interested in this topic. But for the Kardashian woman no such option is offered, it being clearly beyond the ken of Google that any person could not be fascinated with her.
I fear the power of the Dope. I read this thread yesterday and this morning, for the first time ever, there was Melissa McCarthy…GONE!..on my home page.
Wait… can you parse this for me? She doesn’t have conventional Hollywood looks, so you wouldn’t have remembered her/realized who she was? I’d think someone who stood out like that would be more memorable.
To the OP, I get those same ads, always on the site BookRiot. They usually claim to explain why she left “Mike and Molly,” the sitcom she’s co-starred in for the past few years.
Since I was a teenager in the 90s, I’m very familiar with Jenny, but I can’t think of anything she’s done in the past decade or so.
Melissa, on the other hand, is an Oscar nominated film actress who just finished 6 years starring on a network series, and has headlined several movies in the past 3-4 years. Prior to this wave of her stardom she did 153 episodes of “Gilmore Girls,” among other things. I would say she’s easily the more famous cousin in this millennium.
Who ?
She’s been keeping busy trying to convince the world that vaccines cause autism.
I’ve seen this type of click bait for many celebs, mostly females. Seems to run in cycles. I’m guessing that it’s caused by my browsing history.
To be fair, I’ve only seen Melissa McCarthy in one movie, The Heat. She was not funny. At all.
It wasn’t completely her fault. The movie was a terrible, unfunny movie. But there were numerous scenes designed to show off her humor talents, and wow, this woman has none. She is just not funny.
Hurling abuse is not funny in itself. It has to be done with style, wit, and most of all, substance for it to work as comedy. When Melissa yells insults about her boss’ genitals at him for no reason whatsoever because there’s been no buildup as to why he would deserve such treatment, those insults had better be clever and hysterical. But no, the scene was just stupid. If all Melissa can do is bellow a script, she is no comedian.
I’m glad she’s OK. She’s a very nice person*. She helped my family fast-pass ahead on the Harry Potter ride at Universal.
*ok, this is a Total Fib; someone who was Really Nice & who looked An Awful Lot like her did that.
It was Brutally hot out (hotter than today) and I knew people in park uniforms are forbidden to accept gifts of tips, so after the ride I bought the two coldest bottles of water that I could find and I rushed over to the spot where she had been to tell her, “Hey, I found these. Maybe you could turn them in for me?”
But whoever she was, she was off helping other people & disappeared into the long crowded line of the ride without ever seeing or taking them.
From what I understand, Melissa McCarthy died while trying to get one of the world’s most popular hoodies (with a six month backorder), having tragically missed one of the six hidden signs for a heart attack.
Maybe it has to do with cookies/preferences, because I can’t recall ever seeing a clickbait about her. Not that I care; I find nothing redeeming about her as an actress. I don’t particularly find filthy-mouthed to be humorous. If it’s combined with other funny, fine, but for its own sake it impresses me not at all.
Interesting. I just saw one of these today.
The one I saw had a headline that made it sound like she was dead. When you click on it to read her “final words” it turns out that she lost so much weight taking [ridiculous scam diet pill] that the producers fired her from the show Mike & Molly. So her final words are asking the produces why she’d be fired for achieving a healthy weight.
Is it? I mean, it might well be, but anecdotal evidence indicating that the ads show up a lot on that website you linked isn’t proof of that. The internet is vast. It contains multitudes.
