‘The Heat’s’ Melissa McCarthy not wasting time on weight
Melissa McCarthy, starring in “The Heat†(which opens Friday) with Sandra Bullock, is a talented comedic actress, on screens big (“Bridesmaidsâ€) and small (“Mike and Mollyâ€). But she seems to have had to spend a lot of time talking to interviewers about her weight -- Rex Reed famously, rudely, compared her to a tractor. In the July/August issue of More magazine, she reportedly says she isn’t as sensitive to the weight conversation as she once was, and used to obsess about her weight until she realized it was a waste of time.
