Update on Wednesday morning:
Issue dated March 9, 2020: Melissa McCarthy
It's Melissa McCarthy this week, her 4th main cover story in about 4 1/2 years. This one is tied to her turn as host and executive producer of NBC's Little Big Shots. McCarthy is an attractive woman and a great actress, but she's also different in one specific way from most of Hollywood's female stars, and People's headline writers just can't stop themselves from referring to it. "Be yourself," "feeling great," "making her own rules" and "succeeding in Hollywood on her own terms" are all creative (and annoying) ways of drawing attention to her size without actually using the word "fat." Wouldn't it be great if the headlines could just highlight her talent?
This is the first cover this year that does not include a headline about the royal family.
Here are Melissa McCarthy's previous covers:
Issue dated May 21, 2018
Issue dated June 22, 2015
Issue dated July 7, 2014
