:smt042:smt042:smt042 Damn, Howard and Jamie burned her. Yeah, it's funny to me. Nothing against her, but shit, I laughed.
Why doesn't she have a much bigger career is beyond me. Kerry Washington seemed to be having a good streak for awhile now but Zoe Saldana stole her shine. She's the new 'it' black girl at the moment. I knew this when she was cast as Uhura in Star Trek. she doesn't compare True, however doesn't Halle Berry by default get tall the black woman roles? Its Sandra Rose, what do you expect? I highly doubt George Clooney, who hosted a whole telethon for Haiti and had a few black girlfriends back in the day, is a racist because he didn't give Monique a standing ovation... Robin is all the mammy Howard needs, lol.
Stern and robin are right. This woman is quite large. She needs to lose weight for her health and career.They said it in a mean way though.
I'm sorry but kerry washington or whoever that is in the first pic is way hotter. If that dress got any shorter, I'd be seeing places I'd like to boldly go that other men have gone before.
lippy's take on gabourey is that she will get a few roles immediately but it won't last...the role that she played in precious had so many parallels to her own life that it wasn't really a best actress performance...she grew up fat...she didn't gain weight to play the role...the casting director knew who he was looking for and the day she walked in she was already that character...do you really think that the character that monique played isn't somewhere or somehow close to something she may have experienced in her own life...or at least witnessed? a best actress performance is when someone does a role that is so far from who they are in their own life...many times based on a real story, they meet with the person they are portraying...learn about them...how they talk...walk...mannerisms...etc...i don't see where gabby had to do much more than memorize a script...she played herself in much of the movie .02 cents
Dear Lord, Clooney does more charity/humanitarian work for Africa than most black people. Yeah, he hates blacks!!! These "is he/she racist?" witchhunts need to stop. Really getting pathetic and embarrassing.
She's in a Showtime series. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1873832296?bctid=69706721001
