TV Guide sat down with Samantha Who? star Melissa McCarthy to talk about the upcoming season of their show. (The second season premiere is tonight!)
You may remember Melissa as Sookie on the Gilmore Girls. She was wonderful on that show. I’ve only caught a few episodes of Samantha Who?, but it looks like a lot of fun.
Melissa promises that this season will be tons of fun and there’s lots of exciting guests stars showing up–including Mary-Kate Olsen!

In honor of the Irish premiere of The Wackness, starring Ben Kingsley, Josh Peck, Olivia Thirlby and Mary-Kate Olsen, Movies.ie interviewed Mary-Kate about her experience filming the movie. They chat about working with Ben Kingsley, MK’s infamous kissing scene, being constantly followed by the paparazzi, and where she sees her career going.

She also comments on how fashion is perceived differently by the fashion industry itself and by the tabloid magazines who often call her a fashion disaster.

“I don’t think I’ll ever have that extreme confidence [to watch myself onscreen]. I criticize myself and know there’s no changing what’s done once the film is finished, …read more
