Hollywood finally showed its true colors!!  |
| |
| If you havent seen the movie PRECIOUS. You should. Its about an extremely obese,african american girl, living in an abusive home, pregnant for the second time by her father. The abuse the girl suffers is terrible. The actress Gabourey Sidibe did a wonderful job portraying this girl. This was her first movie and she was nominated for many awards. Anyways she went to the oscars and she looked beautiful. Even though she has been the butt of many jokes by fellow actors and hollywood personas. Going into the pre award show Joan Rivers was saying that they shot the movie AVATAR on her back and other terrible things. Its not the first time that celebrities have been rude regarding this girl and how big she is. Thats not fair. It is however a perfect example of the real way Hollywood acts toward each other. How this girl must feel. Its not like she doesnt know what they're saying about her. Yet she was beautiful at the Oscars. She walked with her head held high. Im sure the next day when she read the supermarket tabloids or watched Enews or Access Hollywood she saw what they really said behind her back. How can anyone be that hurtful? Money is the root to all evils with some of them. Its just Hollywood showing its true colors. What do you think about this? | | | | | |

| | That is really sad. I feel bad for her. It doesn't seem fair at all for other actresses to make fun of her for having a weight problem. I bet this is a great movie and this girl has a great heart. | | | | | | |

| | Hey Shaun! I havent seen the movie yet either. I hear if you cry at movies you will be crying that's for sure. She did something most actresses, no matter what size they are, have never done. She was nominated for awards the first time out. Hats off to Gabourey Sidibe. Thanks for sharing. dl | | | |

| | Well said Tessah! you've said it all. She did get the part for being a large actress. It is true hollywood binges and purges themselves while taking tons of prescription medications that they have no business doing just to be thin. This girl is truly talented. This was her first movie! And she was nominated for a oscar. She should be proud and the skinny people should have a sandwich and some respect. lol Happy MyLotting dl | | | |

| | I must admit I had never heard of the movie Precious or indeed Gabourey Sidibe so I googled her and read a bit about her. It seems she is very talented and thats the main thing. She probably doesnt really care what the likes of the shrivelled up old Joan Rivers says about her or any of the rest of them. I dont know much about Hollywood, I dont buy into the movie/celeb thing at all and never have. But I imagine that these celebs can be just as cutting with cruelty as the rest of society and its sad but true that big people do get a hrad time in all walks of life. Its not just Hollywood showing its true colours, its society in general. | | | | | | |

| | I definitely agree with you. People as a whole can be cruel. It just fascinates me what a little money can do to people. Hollywood is an example of that. I think its hard enough to be a celebrity without having to worry about your weight being focused upon. The one thing I will say in the defense of Hollywood critics is that when you do movies your life and everything about you is scrutinized. So she must have known it was going to happen. Still its not fair. dl | | | |

| | She did great in this movie for real. as for her weight I think she should get her self together for her sake. Now that she can afford a trainer I hope she will get one. It would help her career as well. If they are talking about her now she may not get any new roles with this wide load. | | | | | | |

| | Im sorry but I dont agree with you. She isnt fat because she couldnt afford a trainer. She's not a baby she knew what she was putting in her mouth. She got the role because she was a big girl. You are right about one thing. There arent many roles for large girls. Regardless of this she still shouldnt have grown adults saying terrible things about her. No one deserves this. She must have watched television or read a magazine to know how cruel hollyweird can be. dl | | | |

| | That movie had me in tears. It's so distressing to me that there are people such as Precious who truly live in these types of realities. I was bursting with pride for Gabourey! What an amazing experience it must have been for her to be nominated for an academy award for her first film! She looked stunning on the red carpet. She had poise and personality. And...to have Oprah Winfrey be the one to comment about her!!!!! It must have been truly mind blowing for her! Hollywood in general is an extremely cold town entirely driven by money. That's no secret and that's why most "stars" don't live there or associate there. They all live in houses in little unknown towns where they are free to be "themselves". Some even choose to live outside of the U.S. completely, Johnny Depp comes to mind. The sick thing is that people actually listen to Joan Rivers (have you looked at her face?!?!?!) or ENews like they are the true authorities on anything that has to do with the industry when, truth be told, most of them couldn't have the celebrity careers and so ended up doing little shows as a result. They make fun of anybody on either end of the spectrum. Not just for being overweight but underweight as well. They make fun of celebs who are "dressed down" and shopping at the grocery store like their always supposed to be glammed up! What garbage! I hope that Gabourey took it like water on a ducks back. She had an AMAZING first showing in Hollywood! Look how long it took Sandra Bullock to get recognition! The sad thing is....there just aren't many roles out there for heavyset characters. Until writers actually get on the ball and start writing more true to life characters, it might just very well be the only truly stellar role Ms. Sidibe gets. | | | | | | |

| | I haven't seen the movie but have heard about it and am glad she got a nomination on her first movie. Hollywood can be a cruel place but I think she knew what to expect and knows how to survive. She'll be alright. Hopefully, she won't be like most of them, divorcing, boozing, drugging, and other things. | | | | | | |

| | It is a shame. Its sad these days how everyone has to be so careful what they say, not to seem racist against any race, or for/against any religion, but its 100% okay to bash obese people. Its not just Hollywood. Its the WHOLE world. Hollywood just gives the world what it wants to see. Thats why in most movies with an obese star, that star is the butt of 100 fat jokes in the movie as well as behind the scenes. I've not seen Precious yet. Its on the netflix list under a couple hundred of movies my hubby wants to see........ | | | | | | |

| | If you have been watching television and the Oscars as long as I have you learn to expect certain things from such as Joan Rivers. It's her job to say something obnoxius. If she didn't she would be sick. That is why she is hired to do what she does. I think that Gabbie is probably used to the stupid and assinine remarks people make and she has the intellect to consider the source. And, she has Oprah backing her all the way. I say that because I think if you are in Gabbies postition and you befriend someone like Oprah or Barbara or some of the big namers you tend to let the retarded comments go by the wayside. | | | | | | |

| | I have not watched much TV and not the Oscars, but you are right. Joan Rivers did what she gets paid to do. She puts a mouth to all the mean spirited thoughts that people have. | | | |

| | We know how tacky the Hollywood witches are. I am proud that we are able to start having movies about real situations with real actresses playing them. I have not seen the movie. I do know lots of beautiful larger people. | | | | | | |
