Howard Stern: Gabourey Sidibe Will Never Work Again

What's a sure fire way to know you've made it? People start talking smack about you. 'Precious' lead actress Gabourey Sidibe was treated to a slew of insults by Howard Stern and his satellite radio show co-host Robin Quivers. The longtime radio personality called Gabby, whose name he stumbled over, "the most enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen."

What’s a sure fire way to know you’ve made it? People start talking smack about you. ‘Precious‘ lead actress Gabourey Sidibe was treated to a slew of insults by Howard Stern and his satellite radio show co-host Robin Quivers.

Gabby’s set to make appearances on the new Showtime series “The C Word” and she’s already lined up a big screen roll alongside Zoe Kravitz in the movie “Yelling to the Sky.” Read More:
