Comic actress Melissa McCarthy has publicly thanked her parents for giving her "terrible advice" as a young woman. What advice was that? It was to stick with comedy and acting. The actor was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday. During the ceremony, she explained that every time she said she was going to quit college and do stand-up, her mom and dad would say, 'Great, work really hard at it, you can probably do it.' McCarthy will star this summer in the action comedy "Spy." She'll play a CIA agent tackling her first field assignment. In 2011, her supporting role in "Bridesmaids" earned her an Oscar nomination.??
