( PEOPLE.com ) -- Melissa McCarthy is no longer just a bridesmaid . She 's the bride . The `` Mike & Molly '' Emmy winner and `` Bridesmaids '' scene-stealer has some big plans on her plate -- from launching her own plus-size fashion line to getting hockey 's prized Stanley Cup ( for a movie ) -- during what is already a stellar year for her . But none of her professional plans can top her favorite pastime , being mom to her two daughters with actor-husband Ben Falcone : Vivian , 4 , and Georgette , 1Â½ . McCarthy tells the Hollywood Reporter that being a mother actually helps her feel less insecure about her looks . `` The stupid stuff like what I wear or how I look I ca n't control , so I just try not to give too much energy to it , '' she says , calling her body a work in progress after giving birth to Georgette . `` At 20 , I would have been like : 'Do n't they like me ? Was it my hair ? ' At 41 , I think the things that define me , I hope , are a lot more than those kinds of petty things . '' As for those red-carpet moments , `` Trying to find stuff that 's still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible . It 's either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker , and there is nothing in the middle , '' McCarthy wisecracks . Case in point : trying to outfit herself for the Emmys , which required sifting through `` nine million dresses with taffeta or shiny bows . '' The final result was McCarthy 's own line that she is co-designing with couturier Daniella Pearl . Hosting SNL This Weekend . Fans need n't fret , however -- she 'll still be doing comedy , including hosting this weekend 's `` Saturday Night Live . '' She psyched for this , too , admitting to having an emotional reaction when the producers invited her to do it . `` I went into such an embarrassing , weird , inappropriately loud cry , '' says McCarthy . `` I 'm bent over , literally , in the rug section of Living Spaces , wailing . '' Also ahead : starring in and co-writing a movie with `` Bridesmaids '' scribe Annie Mumolo , which is about hijacking the Stanley Cup to cheer up her sick husband ; costarring with Jason Bateman in a movie comedy ( still in the talking stage ) ; and appearing in Judd Apatow 's as-yet-untitled `` Knocked Up '' spin-off -- and that , reportedly , is only for starters .
