Melissa McCarthy turned heads in Hollywood when she stepped out in a chic black tea-length dress, radiating confidence on her way to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Known for her role in The Suffs, the 53-year-old actress looked stunning as she arrived at El Capitan Entertainment Center.
Rumors abound that Melissa might be using Ozempic, sparking celebrity buzz, even drawing comments from Barbra Streisand. Though flattered by the attention, Melissa has kept mum on the speculation.
Reflecting on her weight loss journey, Melissa had previously shed 70lbs after a grueling four-month liquid diet during her time on Gilmore Girls. She later admitted to People in 2011, "I'd never do that again. I felt starved and crazy half the time."
For her Jimmy Kimmel appearance, Melissa sported a sophisticated black dress adorned with rosettes, paired with patent leather slingbacks. Adding a touch of whimsy, she carried a $498 Kate Spade 'Slice 3D Pizza Box Top-handle Bag.' Her Brigitte Bardot-inspired bouffant hairstyle by Mark Townsend and flawless makeup by Afton Williams completed her striking look.
With Jimmy Kimmel on break, guest host Martin Short took the reins, appearing as his flamboyant Hollywood reporter character, Jiminy Glick, for the entire episode. Melissa gamely played along with the comedic antics, engaging in a hilarious exchange with the fat suit-clad comedian. They joked about a fictional past fling and traded witty banter throughout the segment.
The interview was filled with laughter as Jiminy teased Melissa about absurd scenarios, from love children to conspiracy theories. Melissa responded with her trademark humor, turning the tables on Jiminy's outrageous claims.
Amid the fun, Melissa hinted at drama behind the scenes of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, where she stars in the upcoming season alongside a star-studded cast. The show revolves around a murder mystery and a Hollywood adaptation of their popular podcast.
Melissa and her husband, Ben Falcone, founded On the Day Productions in 2013. The couple, who met at The Groundlings in Illinois, are proud parents to two daughters, Vivian and Georgette, and continue to thrive both personally and professionally in Hollywood.
