Gabourey Sidibe’s mom Alice is talking to the press again. She told the folks over at RadarOnline that all this hoopla about her daughter’s weight is crazy. And she admits that Gabby does in fact want to lose weight. But she explains that Gabby wouldn’t be where she is now if she wasn’t, in fact, this size:
The truth is Gabourey would like to lose some weight but the reality is that she would not have gotten the role of Precious if she had not been heavy,” Ridley said. “As her mom I would like to see my daughter healthy but if she didn’t lose weight that’s not a problem either – it runs in our family.
In fact, they “have relatives that are 80-years-old who are too heavy” so “it works in different ways for different folks.
I’m proud of my daughter no matter what and the truth is that there are all kinds of acting roles for all sorts of people.”
Interesting. No word yet if the upcoming roles Gabby has taken on require her to be at her current weight. But it’s just been my personal observation that she does appear to have lost weight since she filming Precious.

The moms of some of your fave artists gave received an Atlanta Humanitarian Award in music and television. (l-r) T-Pain’s mother Aliyah Najm, Ne-Yo’s mom H. Loraine Smith, and Lil Wayne’s mom Jacida Carter were all recipients this past Sunday. The “Queens in our Communities” gala went down at Atlanta’s Historic Highland Inn & Ballroom and the ladies were spotted arriving. And I guess their “talk show” they have together and other service activities warranted this award.
Speaking of Weezy’s mom, her son is now a wanted man in Arizona. All because he couldn’t make his court date there yesterday. Why? Because he’s at this little thing called RIKERS ISLAND PRISON. Remember?

Looks like there’s drama in the air for former “CSI” star Gary Dourdan and his long time girlfriend Maria Asis del Alamo. Cops were called to his Venice, CA crib last night after Maria allegedly tried to beat Gary down and scratch him up. She was cuffed and taken into custody on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge. But as of this morning is out on bail.
According to TMZ, Maria is 5′8″ and 110 lbs, while Gary is 6′2″ and 190. Damn homie.
