I don’t understand why he is getting on her like that. He’s no sight for sore eyes hmself, so he has no room, whatsoever, to talk about her. I haven’t seen Precious, but I will see what it’s about. I heard she did very well, and if he felt so strongly about this, why doesn’t he go talk to her to her face and encourage her to lose weight if it is bothering him THIS much? His ignorance makes me feel sorry for him…

Howard Stern has got a lot of nerve speaking anything about how other people look! I mean, really, has he looked in the mirror lately?

Stern, is an axxwhip. Instead of getting off making himself look good by downing someone else, he should try and get nose surgery and teeth whitening. He is just an unhappy person and will always be unhappy.

People try and uplift people and not down people all the time. How we know she have not struggle with her weight? HOw we know she is not trying to loose weight. Does that make her less human. No!!! Encourage, imbrace the goodness of people. God do not like ugly.

Really – what is wrong with what Howard Stern said. It was funny. Oprah should not have given that girl such false hope. Jeezy, she’s the size of Cleveland. Now she thinks she’s pretty? Holy Moley, I agree that she should take that money and maybe go to Duke Rice Clinic or somewhere similiar to get help. She’s morbidly obese for goodness sake.

Hey VGin,

I understand completely that she isn’t on equal footing with the Mulligans of the world.

First of all, she is a black actress. Hollywood does not have many great roles for women, and even less for black women (actors fare better). Where are the jobs for the amazing Angela Bassett? Or for Halle Berry? (I could make a ridiculously long list, but these two will serve). The colour barrier is very real, and it’s a shame. For that to change, black people of means need to financially back worthy projects that don’t reduce black culture to Tyler Perry-style exercises in stereotype. Then, when these projects make money, other producers and production companies will change their prejudicial practices.

That said, her weight is going to be the real obstacle to any sort of long-term success. Everything you said is the point that Stern was making. There just aren’t many roles for people who don’t fit the physical beauty mold. Stern is calling out people like Oprah for pretending it won’t matter to her future prospects. The fact of the matter is–it will.

You misunderstand me if you think I don’t want her to succeed. I don’t care about it either way. Let’s face it, whatever happens to her career in showbiz, she’s had more fun than a lot of us this year. She’s done a lot of stuff most of us will never do. So, good for her.

But, I’m not going to sit here and root for her because Hollywood’s beauty standards don’t include people like her. Obesity is not “beautiful”. That’s the issue. North America is in a very dangerous place with this health crisis. We need to address the underlying issues–food production practices and poverty are a major root of the problem. Also, we need to start promoting healthier, more active lifestyles in our schools and in the media (and cracked out, skinny actress isn’t it, either).

Personally I feel Gabby was more convincing in the role she played than Sandra Bullock. Any white actress could have played a rich white mom helping a young black athelete, Howard is despicable and he is far from attractive.

It’s amazing that shallow people like Howard Stern has to put emphasis on Gabby’s weight when we have the Biggest Obesity epidemic in this country. Gabby doesn’t have exclusivity on being overweight. We as American are bigger than we ever have been due to poor eating habits and lack of exercise. Howard Stern really has unmitigated gall to speak of anyone’s weight when he once topped the scales at 325 pounds! How did he feel when people made fun of him. I pity people who have been there and want to denigrate others for being overweight.
