Melissa McCarthy: Stop using 'plus-size' label

The '

Spy

' star has commented on Hollywood's gender pay gap, insisting women should only want the best for themselves if they're willing to put in the work, reported Female First. "Women should not apologise for getting in there and taking what they want. They should not apologise for wanting equal pay or equal rights. They should not apologise for wanting it all, but they should be willing to work for it," she said.

"I know I am not the 'norm.' It never occurs to me in terms of being a
