Howard Stern has decided to add his two cents on Gabourey Sidibe, who he keeps referring to as the “fat black chick“, being nominated for an Oscar and what kind of future career she could have. Well as far as he is concerned she couldn’t have a career because she is too fat.
Stern and his sidekick Robin Quivers talk about Oprah being a liar for saying Gabourey will have a successful career. They then go on to call her an enormous woman the size of a planet and discuss how everybody in Hollywood is pretending that she’s going to succeed and that they have roles for her. He then says the only part she could play is the big football player in The Blind Side 2.
The two of them also go on to say that she should use her money from Precious to get thin, because she is sick and it’s a terrible thing what she has done to herself (they mean it’s terrible she is fat). They also say that she was seated in an aisle seat because she is too big for regular seats.
Now I’m not going to pretend that Gabourey Sidibe won’t have a hard time in Hollywood because she doesn’t look like the rest of them, but to say she won’t have a career is ridiculous — there are a lot of roles that she could do. The things that Howard Stern is saying disgust me. It takes a lot to pick on an easy target doesn’t it?

If you thought you’d had a few too many beers seeing Jay Leno, Oprah Winfrey, and David Letterman all sharing a sofa during a Super Bowl commercial, don’t worry. It really did happen!
The spot, a commercial for The Late Show, is the biggest TV ad shocker of the Super Bowl, surpassing Tim Tebow with ease.
Letterman and Leno snipe at each other with mock-annoyance, with Dave mimicking Leno’s high-pitched voice. Oprah tries to calm the boys.
Now this is damage control for Leno: Agreeing to appear in a CBS Late Show ad while he’s still finishing out his NBC 10 p.m. show is the coolest thing Jay has done in… ages.
If it also makes Dave the publicity victor — after all, it is a commercial for his show, not the Leno Tonight Show — you have to hand it to Jay for playing along, probably as a slap at the way NBC handled the whole Tonight Show mess.
Now you’ve seen it: What do you think?

PETA have gone and upset Michelle Obama and The White House by using her image in an ad without any consent.
The White House didn’t take too kindly to the ad, which was released today shows Carrie Underwood, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Tyra Banks along with the slogan “Fur-Free and Fabulous!”
Semonti Stephens, a spokeswoman for the First Lady said “we did not consent.” She then went on to say that “Mrs. Obama does not wear fur.”
PETA are now using this to their advantage and saying “the fact is that Michelle Obama has issued a statement indicating that she doesn’t wear fur, and the world should know that in PETA’s eyes, that makes her pretty fabulous.â€
PETA are tacky in everything they do, regardless of whether they got consent or not, this image is just way to tacky.
It’s Friday (TGIF!) and we’ve got the best of the best in quotes for you this week! We’ve got a zinger from John Mayer, some sentimental drivel from Beyonce, and Taylor Swift ragging on douchebags.
“If you’re shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you.”
– John Mayer, Tweeting about Britney Spears’ lip-synching controversy in Australia
“There’s only one person I want to thank, and that is Jay for putting a ring on it.”
President Barack Obama has been trying to get the Olympic leaders in Copenhagen to give the 2016 Olympics to Chicago.
Barack and his wife Michelle Obama both tried to to convince the leaders by saying “I urge you to choose Chicago, and if you do – if we walk this path together – then I promise you this: The city of Chicago and the United States of America will make the world proud.”
Well it has been announced that after the first round of voting Chicago has been knocked out of the running, Tokyo was also eliminated in the second round. Madrid and Rio de Janeiro are left, with the latter being the front runner.
Oprah Winfrey was also in Copenhagen doing her best to help the Olympic leaders, when the big O can’t persuade you then there must be a problem. Where would you like to see the Olympics being held?

Angelina Jolie has topped Oprah Winfrey to become the World’s Most Powerful Celebrity, according Forbes magazine. The methodology is, shall we say, unclear. But here’s what they say about Jolie:
Eclectic actress and gossip-column favorite dethrones media maven Oprah Winfrey atop this year’s Celebrity 100. Jolie has always been able to attract tabloid attention and Oscar nods, but this year, she’s finally figured out a way to make serious money. Her most recent blockbuster, Wanted, proved this mother of six’s sweet spot is action films; the movie earned $340 million at the box office. Up next: Salt, in which Jolie plays a CIA officer accused of being a spy.
Oddly, Oprah earned a whole order of magnitude more money — $275 millionto Jolie’s paltry $27 — but, since they don’t tell us what factors were used or how they were weighed, who’s to criticize. And, certainly, Jolie’s hotter. (Were I employed by Playboy magazine, I would compile a list. As it is, I shall pass.)
About halfway down the list sits a very familiar face: President Barack Obama. At No. 49, Obama’s the first sitting head of state to appear on this Forbes fixture because of his worldwide fame, his historic election and his career as a best-selling author.
On what planet is Angelina Jolie more powerful than Barack Obama?
Behold the power of a free leg, thigh, two sides and a biscuit. Forget social injustice. You want to organize a sit-in? Try denying folks their right to free Kentucky fried…erm, um…I mean grilled chicken.
You see, yesterday Oprah offered coupons to all of her viewers that entitled them to one two piece grilled chicken meal. The offer is good from now until May 19th, 2009.
First of all, the coupon server is way overloaded and it’s damn near impossible to get the thing to download. And even if you managed that, as many did, not every franchise operator is down with Oprah’s offer.
So leave it to the denizens of New York City to take their protest to the next level. According to eyewitnesses, folks staged a sit-in after being denied free grilled meat with sides. WTF?!? This aint a ’50s lunch counter folks.
I went over to our nearest KFC a few minutes ago…and chaos ensued. Despite the very visible grilled chicken behind the register, the manager told everyone with coupons to leave and that the promotion was over for the day.
The people there are currently holding a sit-in and refusing to leave until they get their free chicken .. .or the cops are called. Racial epithets were being spewed, people who actually wanted to pay for chicken were facing a potential beatdown, and the manager ran from the screaming horde. Oprah, what have ye wrought?

So is this what we’ve come to? Can’t get people to organize around the crisis of impoverished schools or our well funded, for-profit, out-of-control prison industrial complex, for example; but deprive people of their free two piece, or just delay it for a day, and all hell breaks loose.
Convince me I’m wrong. If you have some harrowing KFC coupon story to share, please tell it in the comments.
