This morning at the Sneakysalmon offices, we were shocked and deeply saddened to discover that professional misogynist(Buddherface Beauty Pageant, Negligee and Underpants Party) Howard Stern had something NASTY to say about a young woman's body. We. Simply.Couldn't.Believe.It. Surprisingly, Howard doubted that Gabby Sidibe (Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and maybe Susan Serandon literally all rolled into one) would be able to continue her high-profile acting career after her jaw-dropping turn in "Precious" and doubly described her as "enormous". So...is Howard just a big meanie? Or is he voicing a show biz truth that no one is ready to hear post-Oscar? Gabby's talent fortunately/unfortunately is also majestically huge and there is no way she can sorta blend in as the best friend or wacky roommate for a Katherine Hiegle type. Which means Gabby will have to compete against Katherine Heigle and Natalie Portman and Scarlett and Dakota and even Miley for leads that were written with that type of girl in mind. And even when the role does call for a plus-size, brown-skinned girl...she will still have to claw through Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah for the part. Will Gabby ever work in that town again? She's got two of the best fairy godmothers in Hollywood. Will Oprah Winfrey still have cash to fund interesting prestige film projects? Will Tyler Perry still be around to direct those projects? The real weight debate? Who carried the gigantic brief case full of cash used to bribe Howard into tagging Gabby on his national show? Three, four days after Oscar and we all know how to pronounce Gabby's last name AND how to spell it....Take that, Djimon Hounsou.
