Precious Insults

Howard Stern made some very harsh remarks about the star of Precious, Gabourey Sidibe. Calling her "planet-sized" and "the most enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen". Stern didn't hold back, saying,"You just want to say to her, listen, honey, now that you’ve got a little money in the bank go get yourself thin, because you’re going to die in three years." His words are terrible, but in some way I agree. He accused Oprah and Tyler Perry for making her believe that she could be in another movie and make it big in this business, no pun intended. I'll just speak my mind, Gabourey is a talented girl, no doubt. But her weight and her talent go hand in hand. She couldn't audition for every female role in a movie. The character Precious, from the movie, fit her well. I'm not going to say all the the things Stern said, but he had a point. There's only so many movies she could do. Its not everyday that a director needs an overweight African-American girl in their movie. I dont think she should be an actress. I dont even think she should lose weight, Ithink her weight contributes to her great acting, you know "she can act...for a big girl". I wish her the best of luck.
