Howard Stern, Gabourey Sidibe
Shock Jock Howard Stern is stirring up controversy again by saying that Precious star Gabourey Sidibe is too “enormous” to ever work again.
[Listen to the audio clip of Howard Stern/ Robin Quivers talking about Gabourey Sidibe below]
“There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie. She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”
Ok, so Howard was harsh in saying what he said, but really people, is he wrong? I don’t think so. Sure, Gabourey might land a role or two in the next year (which she already has) but after the buzz of Precious is over, so will Gabourey’s career be.
You can argue that Mo’Nique, Oprah Winfrey, etc. are all successful in the entertainment industry, but they have established careers. They have all been doing this many years and none of them started out with an Academy Award nomination. The only place Gabourey has to go is down, sadly.
And as for Howard calling her “enormous,” well, I hate to break it to you folks who are freaking out about this, but she IS HUGE. And like he says, she will die an early death if she doesn’t get healthy soon. She is at a dangerous weight, if not deadly.
I am not hating on Gabby, I think she’s great and was really hoping for her to win an Oscar. But I am not going to pretend what Howard says isn’t true – because it is.
Hollywood is so fickle. They all have their heads up Gabourey’s ass right now because she is “hot,” but before you know it, it will be like no one ever knew her. Howard is just speaking the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts.
