Say what you want about her, by Gabourey Sidibe is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. The “Precious” star has started to carve a spot for herself in Hollywood. After being torn apart by Howard Stern for her weight issues, the shock jock claimed she would never work again.
Sidibe is slowly proving him wrong. She has another film, “Yelling to the Sky,” in post production. In the Sundance Lab project she plays a bully and opposite Zoe Kravitz. Gabourey is also pulling for more comedic rolls. Shortly after Stern’s tirade, news that she was cast in a Showtime series spread like fire. “The Big C” has a premier slot late this August. The show revolves around teacher, played by Laura Linney, who is battling cancer.
She can also add SNL host to her resume. Sidibe will host Saturday Night Live. No word on an exact dates yet. We have to suffer through Jennifer Lopez this weekend which will follow with the awesomeness of Tina Fey. Ryan Phillippe is also due to take a break from man-hookin’ to fulfill hosting duties late this month.
I like her. She has gumption and the health issue is her business. As I was once the fat girl, I learned eventually learned to live on ample amounts of gym candy after being cheated on with some skinny ho. I remember telling Paul (or was it Phillip? No, no it was Patrick. I think. It might have been Preston. Whateves. I was going through a “P” stage.), I may be chubby, but I can loose weight. Unfortunately for you, you will always have a tiny penis and limp. To which he replied, “I don’t have a limp.” I then kneed him in the junk and said, “Now you do.”
[...] Everyone wants a piece of Gabby Sidibe. [...]
