Was 'Elle' Wrong to Put Melissa McCarthy in a Giant Coat?

Fashion magazines favor a pretty predictable type of model -- so when someone like Melissa McCarthy makes the cover, people take notice. The star of The Heat is one of six actresses featured on variant covers of the new "Women in Hollywood" issue. The others -- Reese Witherspoon, Penelope Cruz, Naomie Harris, Marion Cotillard and Shailene Woodley -- could pass much more easily as fashion models. But McCarthy's cover isn't generating controversy because she's "the fat one." It's generating controversy because she's the only one wearing a ginormous coat.
