I'am Happy for her however,If anyone belieaves that she is healthy then the United states is headed for trouble! 60% of the population is OBESE! Just visit any Walmart it's like cows walking around!Whateer happened to the "Big actress" From "What's eating Gilbet grape"? The one with Johnny Depp? How long was her career? She was just as large,Oprah shouldn't speak,She has money and power and personel cooks and trainers and she's still Fat!Sometimes people eat because they are depressed Etc...Everyone is entitled to their opinio!Howard says what people are thinking but afraid to say! He admits that he has a small penis and has been in therapy for years!Tell me that Gabey is not as large as some of the previous contender on my favorite show the Biggest loser

Howard Stern is one of the ugliest men in show business. He is damn right fugly! We all recognize the only way he ended up with the beautiful Beth is because he has deep pockets. If he was broke he wouldn't have stood a chance with that pretty woman. Poor Robin Quivers, it must be really difficult for her to play Butterfly McQueen 2010. She is one handkerchief head sista. How can she stand to look at herself in the mirror? I remember when she wasn't a size six.. Gabby has shown so much class and dignity and I hope she is not hurt by the likes of of those two trolls!

It is wrong for Howard to assume that just because she is not the size of the average actress that her career will not last. It is not all about looks in Hollywood; after all look at him, he is ugly as heck and people watch his show.

Mr. Stern, has become wealthy doing what he does because people listen to him and he is entitled to his opinion. Thank God Miss. Sidibe's future is not in his hands. Howard, for goodness sakes you are an old man, as the saying goes, the only time one should look down upon someone is to extend a hand to help them stand up. Miss Sidibe possesses talent, intelligence, good manners, good work ethics and very strong self-esttem. How many so call beautiful people in the past as well as the present are killing and have killed themselves through alcohol, illegal/ prescrition drugs and negative degrading life styles. Miss. Sidibe has suceeded through God's grace, beause she took a risk and was prepared when the opportunity presented itself. Howard, dial back the bullying.

Hey Erika, if his comments are so horrible, then I guess you have a lot in common with him. The only problem is... you didn't hear what he actually said, so maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge.

You people are idiots! Yes, Ms. Sidibe is a big girl, but Howard did not have to talk about her in such a negative way. Sometimes the ugliest looking people make insulting remarks about other people as a way to not have to deal with the fact that they are ugly.

Well regardless of whether one likes Stern, he does make a valid point. Sooner or later she has got to lose weight--sorry of that is upsetting--because it's a fact of life that being such a weight as she is is not healthy. And I hope that she manages to lose weight before she suffers any health problems. Oprah might have enabled an unknown to achieve stardom but maybe it's a bit too much. Remember Susan Boyle. Singing a tune from Les Miseables amde her a star but her ascent from unknown to celebrity has proven to be something of a double-edged sword. Gabourey Sidibe might welcome her new status but achieving celebrity means very little when faced with a diagnosis of heart disease, diabetes, or cancer.

It is unacceptable to be the size of a planet. Howard Stern is absolutely correct. He is a terrific radio personality!

A woman the "size of a planet" may well represent more of the planet than Hollywood has represented. Its about time that we see things "as is" . Color wise, size wise, gender wise. Talent comes in all sizes. After all, Saphire's novel "PUSH" is about pushing past limitations, name calling and your past, giving birth to your authentic divine self. My concern for Sidibe is for her health. She'll get roles, plenty of them if she doesn't die of a stroke of heart attack first. I wish her all the best. Stern? He's just being himself.
