Who ever thought Precious star Gabourey Sidibe would ever work again?  I mean she's fat.  She's Black.  She's dark-skinned.  She's fat.  And at the moment she has little fashion sense.  And did I mention she's fat.  These characteristics are all most people see when they look at Gabbie.  But I beg to differ. 

Howard Stern is quoted as saying:

"There's the most enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen.  She is enormous.  Everyone's pretending she's a part of show business and she's never going to be in another movie" ... "She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she's never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?"

Really Howard?  Well Stern and many others have already been proven wrong.  Sidibe has already signed on for one television series and a film.  Showtime Networks will be premiering a new original series titled The Big C.  It stars Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner, Laura Linney, as a suburban mother and housewife whose recent cancer diagnosis makes her re-examine her life and shake it up a bit.  While trying to find new hope in her life Linney is dealing with a loving but highly immature husband (played by Oliver Platt) and Sidibe is one of her smart-mouthed students in her class.  The show is currently in production and is set to air this Summer.

Sidibe will also be in another movie titled Yelling To the Sky.  It stars Zoe Kravitz (as Sweetness O'Hara), Jason Clarke, Antonique Smith, Yolonda Ross, and Shareeka Epps.

Synopsis:  In a depraved New York City neighborhood, Sweetness O'Hara spends the better part of being seventeen navigating an identity between the known: a violent life of crime, and the unknown: a life of purpose and meaning.

This movie does not have an exact release date but should be out sometime in 2010.

I know Gabourey is saying (in the words of Diddy): "TAKE THAT, TAKE THAT!"
