Will Gabourey Sidibe Ever Work in Hollywood Again?
March 10th, 2010 at 09:17am Under Celebrity News
Howard Stern had a pretty brutal take on it earlier this week, calling her “the most enormous fat black chick I’ve ever seen” and accusing Oprah of lying when she told “this enormous woman the size of a planet that she’s going to have a career.” (The audio is above.)
I agree with a lot of what Howard says in terms of Gabourey needing to lose weight. No one can tell that girl that she’s absolutely fine and healthy just the way she is. I’m sure she’s a beautiful spirit, and she’s obviously a brilliant actress, but she’s not going to be a brilliant actress for much longer if she doesn’t change her diet and exercise regime.
That said, a look at Gabourey’s IMDB page indicates that she’s starring in an upcoming flick called Yelling to the Sky, and this week it was announced she’ll have a recurring role opposite Laura Linney in a television show called The Big C, about a suburban mom attempting to find humor in her battle with cancer. So she’s working, which is more than most skinny, beautiful actresses in Hollywood can say for themselves.
The interesting thing about someone like Gabourey Sidibe being nominated for the best actress role, and for Oprah to so publicly endorse her, is that now you’re going to see roles written for Gabourey Sidibe. You’re going to see studios pushing for films that use actresses like Gabourey Sidibe and characters like Precious. You’re going to see those films mass-marketed, rather than tucked away at indie film festivals or marketed exclusively to the black community. What I find most interesting and potentially inspiring about Gabourey Sidibe is not that she’s black or female or overweight, but she’s really not pretty. (Your haterade goes in the comments. But it’s true.) And we never see that in Hollywood. When you look at the larger women on the Hollywood scene — black or white — you’ll notice that they all have very beautiful faces. Mo’Nique, Oprah, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Kirstie Alley, Jessica Simpson. They all have strikingly beautiful faces. We do not put this constraint on overweight men in Hollywood. So I love that this is an opportunity for Hollywood to start putting more women who look like Gabourey on camera, because the average woman — even the average overweight or obese woman — does not have Mo’Nique’s perfect face.
I think you’re incredibly brave and awesome, Gaby, and best of luck to you, kiddo.

Katherine Heigl Would Like You to Believe There’s a Baby in There
March 10th, 2010 at 07:43am Under Celebrity News
But it’s actually 18 bottles of blond hair dye and three cartons of cigarettes.
From the bottom of my heart, Katherine, I want to thank you. Thank you for leaving Grey’s Anatomy alone so that it can be a show I enjoy again. I stopped watching for a couple of years, but I’m once again fully invested in the plotline and in all the new characters, thanks to the fact that none of them is you. I eagerly await the day that Alex gets the telegram (email?) informing him that Izzie is dead forever and will never be coming back, not even as a ghost or in a dream.
Best of luck with the new hair and the new baby and please never be on my television again.

March 8th, 2010 at 12:35pm Under Celebrity News
Up now: Amanda Seyfried, Angie Harmon (loooove the dress!), Anna Kendrick (new dress, still sucks), Diane Kruger and Josh Jackson, Dianna Agron from Glee (love the girl but the dress is the wrong color for her skin), Elizabeth Banks (new dress, like it much better), Gabourey Sidibe, more Hilary Swank (because I’m obsessed with her dress and am going to get a breast reduction so I can wear it), Jodie Foster (who looks exactly how a lesbian at an Oscars party is supposed to look), Diane von Furstenberg and the carcass she’s draped over her entire body (and also she’s wearing fur),* Kate Beckinsale (dying of the gorgeousness!), Maria Bello (not even sure who she is, but she looks fab!), Rachel McAdams (ehhhhh … I can’t decide), Rosario Dawson (pretty but boring), Salma Hayek (holy God what is even happening there?), Selma Blair (really, Selma? Really? That’s what you wore to the Oscars party? This is why we don’t get along), even more Demi Lovato, and pretty pretty princess Olivia Wilde.
*That’s a really funny joke. Go back and re-read it.

When the Oscars Get Good: The After-Parties
March 8th, 2010 at 11:23am Under Celebrity News
All’s quiet on the Hollywood front this morning, as actors and actresses and their respective publicists nurse their hangovers, and entertainment journalists are left to dissect last night’s results. Was anyone surprised by anything last night? I was kind of surprised that I thought Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were really funny. And I thought Inglorious Basterds should have taken home the screenplay award. But other than that, absolutely nothing surprised me. Oh wait. Except for that incredibly stupid dance number in the middle of the show? WTF? It’s like we were all watching America’s Best Dance Crew and someone muted the TV and started playing classical music over it. Oh and that guy in the beginning who told his wife “I love you more than rainbows.” That’s my new thing. That’s the new thing I’m going to say to people. Especially when I don’t love them at all. When I get emails from publicists that are all like, “Hi, could you please mention my Z-list client and also this poker site?” I’m going to email them back like “I love you more than rainbows, but no.”
Anyway. Now we get to the fun pictures: The parties!!! Up now: Elton John’s party, where Elton John gets to take a photo with absolutely everyone who walks in the room. And also no one’s allowed to be photographed without Elton John. The good news is that proceeds go to the AIDS Foundation. Or something. Because I can’t believe that a party like this actually makes money. Making appearances: Lance Bass, Alison Iraheta, Tinsley Mortimer, Lydia “Hearst”-Shaw, Lea Michele, Apolo Ohno, Johnny Weir, Debi Mazar, Demi Lovato, Nicole Richie, the Jonas Brothers, Kathy Griffin, Kelly Osbourne, Milla Jovovich, Jennifer Hudson, Simon Cowell and his bride-to-be, Maria Menounos, Miley Cyrus, Rachel Zoe and Lord only knows who else. Enjoy!
