Jennifer [=McCarthy=] Wahlberg (born Jennifer Ann [=McCarthy=]; November 1, 1972) is an American actress and model from UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}. She first became famous as ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' magazine's 40th anniversary Playmate. Her credits include ''Film/JohnTuckerMustDie'', ''Film/DirtyLove'', ''Series/SingledOut'' on Creator/{{MTV}} and her own sitcom on Creator/{{NBC}}. She has been married to Creator/DonnieWahlberg since 2014, and prior to that she was in a relationship with Creator/JimCarrey from 2006 to 2010. She is the cousin of Creator/MelissaMcCarthy.

She has become well-known for her outspoken support for the anti-vaccine movement, which proposes the belief that certain common childhood vaccines cause autism, and that this cause is being covered up by the pharmaceutical industry/government. It should be noted, of course, that this conjecture stems from a man with a vested interest in selling his alternative to the MMR vaccine outright lying in a paper where he violated a whole host of ethics in an effort to discredit his primary financial competitor, [[https://youtu.be/8BIcAZxFfrc?si=iCDbSK0BQzSr_hHV&t=2184 and has no basis in fact or reality.]]

!! Tropes associated with her works:
* CuteButCacophonic: She may be a beautiful woman, but when she screams, either when scared or excited, it sure is ''loud''.
* GenkiGirl: If ''Donnie Loves Jenny'' is anything to go by, where she appears as energetic, enthusiastic, and hyper...Which she is in real life.
* HystericalWoman: She tends to get pretty histrionic when she's really excited.
* MotorMouth: Her characters tend to talk constantly and very quickly.
* MsFanservice: She has no qualms about taking her clothes off in roles, one example being that her first claim to fame was that she appeared in ''Playboy''.
