" Melissa McCarthy  covers our July issue, which hits newsstands today! But we didn&amp;#039;t just fall head-over-heels, how-do-we-become-her-BFF in love with Melissa during the cover interview. We also got to know her equally hilarious hubby Ben Falcone. Meet your new favorite couple in these exclusive web extras from the July issue of REDBOOK. They were both pretty intense in their goth phase\u2026   Melissa: &amp;quot;I wore white kabuki makeup, had blue-black hair.&amp;quot;Ben: &amp;quot;I had a pretty aggressive bang situation.&amp;quot;  But she was more goth\u2026   Melissa: &amp;quot;At one point I shaved an inch and a half around my hairline and continued the white makeup so it made my head look slightly deformed.&amp;quot;Ben: &amp;quot;She had capes. She was that famous goth girl we all admired and feared.&amp;quot;  Despite the rough beginning, they&amp;#039;re each other&amp;#039;s biggest fans:   Ben: &amp;quot;When we first started dating, she was doing Gilmore Girls, and it was tricky for me to get a job. But where am I coming from is if you can&amp;#039;t root for your spouse, then who can you root for?&amp;quot;Melissa: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s really easy to work with. And he&amp;#039;s incredibly kind, and that filters through the whole set. I like Ben. I want to spend as much time with him as I can.&amp;quot;  Oh, and Ben&amp;#039;s proposal went awesomely awry:    &amp;quot;Melissa is playing Tetris and watching an autopsy show on TV. And I run at her and [shout], &amp;#039;Melissa? Will you marry me?&amp;#039; She says I basically flung myself at her, yelling. Thankfully, she said yes.&amp;quot;  For the full proposal story and Melissa&amp;#039;s complete interview, pick up the July issue of REDBOOK on newsstands or get the  e-edition here.
