Gabourey ‘Gabby’ Sidibe’s ‘Awesome’ Dating Advice: No BBQ? You Lose
This coming Friday, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire will finally make its limited public debut in theaters. With all the positive press this movie has generated let’s hope it’s released in your city. Last Wednesday, movie critics and lucky previewers continued to shower praise and approval at the Film Independent screening at The Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California.
We don’t know what producer Lee Daniels was saying in this picture (aka the guy who cast Halle Berry in her Oscar winning role *cough*,) but in a recent New York magazine story “Living the Life” he was unabashedly complimentary about Gabourey Sidibe, the huge star of Precious. No pun. It seems that some people who saw the film expect Gabby (her preferred moniker) to be a depressed, overweight, mess of a human being. In the article, Lee Daniels said, oh no, “She is unequivocally comfortable in her body, in a very bizarre way. Either she’s in a state of denial or she’s so elevated that she’s on another level.”
In a state of denial? Hah. I’m not sure that’s a compliment.
Gabourey cleared up this Precious vs. Harlem-raised Gabby talk. You see the pose, here’s the tude..
“I’m actually not her (Precious). They try to paint the picture that I was this downtrodden ugly girl who was unpopular in school and in life, and then I got this role and now I’m awesome. But the truth is that I’ve been awesome, and then I got this role.. I know I’m not a piece of shit or some random fat girl.”
Gabourey went on to tell a story about how she keeps boys friends (she doesn’t want to get too serious with them,) and a little dating advice some of you girls might want to pay attention to. “This one guy, I’ve deleted his number. I would text him at 7 p.m., and he’d be like, ‘I’m at BBQ’s.”
“But the thing is, you don’t go to BBQ’s with your boys, you go with a girl. Then he’d call me at eleven. I’m like, “Why don’t you call me at six when you’re ready to go to BBQ’s?’ Don’t, don’t, don’t! I’m not a regular girl. I just got off a plane from France. You need to check yourself.”

Wow- Sat, Nov 07, 2009 - 5:09 pmSorry Ki-ki. This chick is ugly. She can be an inspiration and still be ugly. And that is exactly what she is.
Saysay- Sun, Nov 08, 2009 - 12:32 pmNo, she is not ugly. She is a distinctive girl that has certain looks. Beauty wears on the inside of a soul. You don’t know her or her character. She was probably waiting her whole life to see what she was made for and it was to play this role. Maybe more to come. Ya’ll think she ugly, ya’ll ain’t make no money from calling her ugly, but she just made millions by playing a fat abused ugly girl.$$$$$$$$$$ How much did you make today??? Haters???????
Wow!!!- Sun, Nov 08, 2009 - 8:23 pmDoesn’t matter how much money she made she’s still ugly. I’m not hatin’ on her at all but the fact reamains she ain’t attractive at all. Now is she talleted? Yes! Bt she is still ugly. You can be both ya’ know.
OMG!- Wed, Nov 11, 2009 - 2:27 pmI wish people could see that the story is based on what is going on in the world. It’s not about who’s ugly…..Why even say some crap like that? Looks to me like she is doing her thing and really good at it..What are you haters doing other that hating?????
Wow- Wed, Nov 11, 2009 - 4:50 pmI see what the story is based on but she is still ugly. She CAN be ugly and people not be hating. If you are in the public eye you are going to get criticized. Right or wrong that’s the way it is.
Texx- Wed, Nov 11, 2009 - 10:30 pmI feel you bout how much she but With Tyler Perry I doubt she made millions..Plus they picked her to be unattractive ...damm thats not a good thing but gotta make the money…lol
rach- Thu, Nov 12, 2009 - 12:08 pmI think she is a very pretty women she played a hard role and she played it good im happy to see in real life that she is one of those confident thick black females i cant wait to see the movie and i hope to c her in more movies
