...goes something like this: in McCarthy's world, there is scientific truth and there is emotional truth. There is the fact of a mother looking into her son's eyes and knowing something has gone very wrong and the fact of about two dozen studies showing no link between vaccines and autism. There is the truth of the parents and the truth of the doctors. And she believes that some truths are more equal than others. "She's a mom," says her boyfriend, actor Jim Carrey. "That's what she is.

"I never really watched it before. But having gone through Dancing with the Stars, it gives me a new appreciation for how hard they work for it," she says. And as a former competitor, she couldn't help but play armchair judge after watching the second of the three ice-dancing events in Vancouver.
