love Taraji!!! cant wait to see the new Precious movie…She should really loose weight, not for hollywood but atleast for her health. Remember all that talk Monique said about she LOOOOVED being big and SKINNY women were evil……Look at her now, she has lost atleast 50-60 lbs.. If not for looks, atleast for health reasons….

Taraji has a cute look but her make ups a little heavy since the photogs had their flash on super bright. the young lady in the purple is in very real need for a intervention. Im sorry why did they put that ungodly set of grape drapes on her. They need to hire oprah’s crew to dress her. anything with an empire waste and just above the knee would of made her look her age! Why does Taraji’s eyes look like she smokes and drink EVERY night! She so doesn’t represent my idea of a native Washingtonian is (if I may say so myself)!

Wow, the Barney song? How insulting!
Gabourney will get criticized with whatever her choice of outfit may be. Let’s uplift our black sistas for doing something positive in their lives.
Taraji should have told her make up artist that less is more, but she is beautiful nonetheless.
God bless everyone!

Gabby has the cutest smile and cheeks, just like a cabbage patch kid doll she reminds me of sometimes! Not sure about Taraji’s hair and her make-up…CHILE!

Who cares if this woman is not the most beautiful person in the world. The truth is, she acted her ass off in the movie and thats all that matters. Lets judge her based on her performances and accomplishments, not on what she looks like. Let’s embrace our black sisters no matter how big,small,short,tall,light or dark they are. It starts with “us” supporting one another then the rest shall follow. God Bless you Gabby.

Congrats to Gabby! She looks really nice and so does Taraji. I read “PUSH” it was an eye-opener and made me realize my problems aren’t so bad. I will be seeing precious. Anyway, I agree with comment number 21 .. about the virus, the same thing has been happening to me.

Very interesting whenever a black movie or personage is the “the talk of Hollywood”. I smell coonfest or glorification of the fat black woman now lol. They’ve moved from the regular black woman to the deification of the fat black woman it seems.

Congrats to Gabby, if you didn’t know she is getting ready to do a movie with Don Cheadle (it don’t get no better then that) stop talking baout her, she’s doing her thing & making money. Now Taraji looks a crazy mess, dress is cute hair & make-up has to go, please go back to the original Taraji

THEY BOTH LOOK A MESS. GABBY’S FACE LOOKS A GREASY MESS. PLUS WHO’S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO WRAP HER UP IN THOSE PURPLE DRAPES?!? AS FOR TARAJI, SHE LOOKS ROUGH.

#35 has complex issues. Just because you have issues with your skin tone don’t be mad at Taraji whom I might add is very beautiful. She can wear whatever shade of makeup she wants. She does not have to please YOU.

@Meat, you wrong for that one lmao. Look, I can’t wait to see this movie and Gabby seems like a sweet girl from interviews Ive seen, but it would be a good look for her to drop some pounds like Monique. Nothing wrong with a woman with curves, but health is more important plus she wouldn’t wanna be type-cast for her size either.

Lool I didn’t get the whole Barney song thing ’till I read the comments .. didn’t pay much attention to the purple dress so I didn’t see the relation. So wrong.
She really needs to lose weight though.
Taraji looks a mess ..
And yeah about the virus thing .. I often get redirected to another site but the virus software on my laptop stops the site from loading. You guys should look into that if possible ..

You all can say whatever you want to say about Gabby, but she is living a life that most of dream of having. While the haters are leaving their nasty comments Gabby is walking the red carpets all over the world promoting “Precious” and receiving praises for her work. So keep talking all of the trash while Gabby is flying above all the hate.

For Real Like Why Do They Always Have To Dress The Plus Size Sistahs In Some Ugly Ass Outfits!
They Did My Boo Wrong, Taraji Looking All Cute, Then You Got Poor Gabby Looking A Hot Mess.
I’m Not Trying To Say Anything Mean About Her, Because I’m Plus Size Too.
Damn They Act Like They Don’t Know How To Dress The Thick Sistah.
But Hey She Still Doin’ The Damn Thing Regardless Of What She Wearing!

Congrats Gabby!!! Did Taraji not see her face before she left the house, maybe she need a new makeup artist or to just go natural, because that is not a good look at all.

Damn, Taraji is unbeweavable here. But I still prefer this to that short cut she was rocking. It did not work for her apple head and it made her look older. Now she looks more like the young hoodrat from Baby Boy that I fell in love with. lol

Gabourey, it’s amazing that someone her size is being recognized for all the right reasons! Acting should be about the charcter, not how hot, sexy, or beautiful someone is. With that said, she is extremely over weight, and it’s for health reasons. Monique is big but looks much better now that she lost 60 pounds, Queen Latifa is beautiful, only with makeup on, and carries herself so well for her size, Jennifer Hudson has been looking a mess lately, but has carried herself well in the past… so down the road she will need to loose weight for health reasons, not looks.
Taraij, I really can’t stand. She’s real, but too real. She really needs to learn how to be classy, not just try to look it on the red carpet. She will always be the nasty skank from Baby Boy in my eyes. She has such an old face! She looks like the black fergie. That weave is too fake looking, it almost looks like it’s synthetic.

I can’t wait to see this movie. I’m sure it was as well acted as it was written. Props to Tyler for directing a movie while someone else told the story rather than making his own version of this well written story.
Ummm, no offense to the new chick Gabourey ‘Gabby’ Sidibe whom I am sure is mucho fab, but we only have ONE GABBY up in this piece and her last name is UNION. Plez get a new nick name.
Thanks,

When we say Gabby isnt beautiful but whos standards are we measuring this? is it because she isnt think, light-skinned with long blond hair. Why do we have to ascribe to that type of beaty to get on?
On Youtube you may see there ios a programme on channel 4 called ‘The white beauty myth’ if you type that in you will see the dangers we face in trying to deracialise ourselves.
Beyonce for example has completely sold out as she makes herself lighter (or the company Loreal made her lighter for an ad campaign) and her eyes are made light with blonde hair. Everything we now worship has all be Europeanized. Gabby is a beautify African woman as is Taraji (i think she looks great by the way not like a fake wax work image like some ppl) let us DEFINE OUR OWN STANDARDS OF BEAUTY and try to see it not through conventional eyes but through the eyes of the beholders and start loving ourselves unconditionally.

Gabourey is a big deal but I love her. Her face is so cute. Plus she is dating Common right now, so she must have something going for her!!
Speaking of big-boned or fat people - Is Angel Laws male or female?

I don’t think she’s pretty.
Not because she’s dark - that’s actually a preference of mine.
But because she looks like a walking heart attack.
Regardless of what all you guys say, African Americans are more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes, and obesity is a leading cause in both those disease.
This is not healthy and should not be embraced. We’re a community and should be helping one another to stay active for our life and future.

I think y’all a full of ****! You care nothing about Gabourey Sidibe. You only want her to lose weight because ‘you’ are uncomfortable with the way she looks. Well that’s you all’s problem. Not hers! So don’t peddle the phony “she’s needs to lose weight for her health” line! Don’t you think she knows she needs to take off weight?!!! Your criticism of her is not helping her. She will take off the weight whenever she heals on the INSIDE! In the mean time, if you want to help her PRAY for her! For those of you who may know, or live close to her, offer to walk and exercise with her. But shut the **** up with all your second grade critiques!
