Glad to see that one nasty, completely out-of-line review didn't detract audiences from the GLORY that is Melissa McCarthy!

Hell, even the Snowpocalypse couldn't keep movie-goers away from her!

In fact, despite all of the odds, the actress' new comedy with Jason Bateman, Identity Thief, topped the weekend box by pulling in an estimated $36.6 million…the FIFTH biggest opening ever for a non-sequel R-rated comedy!

Sadly, however, it seems that Blizzard Storm Nemo DID take a bit of a toll on the flick's business, as Universal Studios projected that had it not been for all the snow, it could have surpassed the $40 million mark!

Hey! Whatever!

It still beat out last weekend's #1 film, Warm Bodies AND Channing Tatum's latest collaboration with Steven Soderbergh, Side Effects, which respectively pulled in $11.5 million AND $10 million!

Check out the rest of this weekend's box office top ten…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We are so NOT cool with this!

Melissa McCarthy is a queen - a HIGHlarious, talented, delightful, charming, adorbz QUEEN!

But some movie critic decided to go far beyond being offensive when he reviewed her new flick, Identity Thief.

Rex Reed of the New York Observer woke up on the freaking stupid wrong side of the bed when he described the actress in the article as:

“[C]acophonous, tractor-sized Melissa McCarthy.”

And no, it doesn’t end there as he continued with the petty insults by further describing her as:

Jason Bateman arrived at JFK with his girls, Francesca and Maple yesterday, and once they got off the plane, his six-year-old was spotted pushing luggage!

Ideally, a baby girl that small should NOT be held responsible to carry bags, but apparently the Hit and Run actor thought it was ok to let his little angel haul heavy suitcases.

It's just funny to see that Jason didn't even have one bag in his hand, but Francesca was struggling to get through the airport. LOLz

Being Bateman's daughter must be hard!! Ha!

Reason #651 we're thrilled to have averted the Mayan Apocalypse: The return of Arrested Development!

After years of sleepless nights caused mostly by lack of Jason Bateman and Michael Cera, we're only four months away from AD's return to the small screen whichever screen hooks up to your Netflix account!

Though the critically-adored show was cancelled back when Justin Bieber was still a tween, it was never forgotten.

On the contrary, diehard fans begged and pleaded and promised to wash the luxury sedans of network bigwigs.

These execs cared greatly about profits, just a little bit about freshly polished rims, and not even a smidgeon about whether Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand would ever reopen for business.

The Gods were kind, however, as Netflix miraculously teamed up with series creator Mitch Hurowitz to reunite the entire ensemble cast for a 14-episode season set to drop in May.

It's been seven years, though — so don't expect the show to be exactly the same as it was!

In an interview yesterday, Mitch discussed several changes.

He revealed:

What if you knew you were you, but cops and creditors thought you were Melissa McCarthy instead?!

Uhh, we suppose that's an interesting premise for a knee-slapper!

Universal Pictures is certainly banking on it!!

Ch-ch-check out the newest trailer for Jason Bateman and M&M's Identity Thief (above)!

The wacky comedy has explosions, fist-fights, Hobbit jokes, and even a little Heart karaoke for your parents!

While we aren't 100% sold, we admit our boisterous Bridesmaid earned the benefit of the doubt!

Identity Thief opens February 8th.

Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka were spotted taking their beautiful children Francesca Nora and Maple Sylvia out to the Farmer's Market where they stocked up on deliciously healthy food.

Yes, there is such a thing as healthy AND delicious food.

You just have to look extra hard for it!!!

The family were looking their normal adorable selves, and there was no sign of any Arrested Development with these lovelies.

And we don't expect to see that ever with this PERFECT family!!!
