Melissa McCarthy is having an excellent week: On Sunday, she won the Emmy for Best Comedy Actress, and yesterday, CBS picked up a sitcom she co-wrote with her husband, Ben Falcone. (It is, in her own words, “about a woman in her mid-40s who has a spectacular midlife crisis” and “what a midlife crisis means for a woman, which is very different from [what it means for] men.”) If this lucky streak continues, today Melissa McCarthy will probably enter and win a very lucrative raffle.

The Expendables 2 has momentarily paused its stockpiling of aging action stars (the latest additions include Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris) to hire a young person: Liam Hemsworth, star of the upcoming The Hunger Games movies, has signed on to play a sniper.
