I do not watch or listen to Howard Stern's. I feel that his rudeness and crudeness on his shows are outrageougsly unexceptable.

1) She is an enormous black person - she will never get another part again
2)What part could she do ... The Blindside #2, she could take out the whole front line

2) I think Howard Stern's really is a rude person. His remarks about Gabrielle Gabourey were just that. RUDE and very disrespectful. This reason I will not watch him.

3)I really thought she played the part very well. I can see getting more work in the film industry.

4) Sure she should lose the weight, being over weight at any age is just not healthy for several reasons. I feel some people are comfortable with who and what they are (even if it is not healthy) , or they just do not have the education about certain things.

5) Maybe not a "sickness", but an addiction. Some people eat when they are upset or angery. Maybe eating is their way of dealing with everyday life. I am sure that doing this film has opened many doors for her. I hope she gets the assistance and help that she might need in continueing her career. Even though I loved the movie, I wanted so bad to beat the heck out of her parents. Her mom ALWAYS b******g at her and demeaning her and accusing her of "Stealing" her man !!!!! come on. The dad SHOOT his ass !!

1. Howard Stern: "There's the most enormous fat black chick I've ever seen" "She is enormous, i mean, she is enormous and you feel bad because"

Robin: "Everybody is pretending that she's a part of show business"

HS: "Right, it's just ludicrous..."

HS: "And she's never going to be in another movie and she really shouldn't have gotten the best actress award. What movie is she going to be in?"

2. I think Howard Stern's comments were fairly harsh. Yes Gabourey is overweight but just because someone is overweight doesn't mean you can bash them for "sitting next to the aisle" or "taking two chairs" or being an "enormous woman the size of a planet". I don't listen to Howard Stern but I am guessing that sometimes he makes comments like that to get publicity for his show or to get people to get angry about his show.

3. I think Gabourey will get work again. I don't know what kind of roles she will play but she has talent and that's really all you need. She may have to lose some weight for some of her roles but the talent is there.

4. I think she should only because the weight she's at is probably not a healthy weight. I also think it would limit some of the roles she could play if she wishes to continue in acting.

5. Does she have a sickness? I don't think so but then again, I don't think I'm an expert in these matters to know. I know that many people do have eating disorders (whether they eat too much or too little) and that in itself is a sickness but whether she has it? I'd like to think that she doesn't; that she'll pull through and get fit; and that she'll be around in Hollywood for many years to come. She has even filmed her next movie! Looks like a good start to me.
