Howard Stern: Garbourey Sidibe "Size of a Planet, Die in 3 Years"
Howard Stern berated Oscar nominee Garbourey Sidibe on his Sirius morning radio show, calling Sidibe "the size of a planet" and even want so far as to say she is "going to die in three years" if she doesn't get thin.
Stern and co-host Robin Quivers were recapping Sunday night's Academy Awards when the topic of Precious star, Garbourey Sidibe, came up being immediately dubbed, "the most enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen."

Stern laid into Sidibe even more as he continued, saying, "She is enormous. Everyone's pretending she's a part of show business and she's never going to be in another movie." Quivers, a formerly obese woman herself, interjected, saying, "everybody is pretending she is going to be a part of show business."
When asked what part could Sidibe be offered other than precious, Stern replied, ‘Blind Side 2,’ she could be the football player, she could take out the whole front line."
Taking things even further, Stern took the attacks from Sidibe's career to her health, saying, “You just want to say to her, listen, honey, now that you’ve got a little money in the bank go get yourself thin, you’re going to die in three years.” Quivers added, "Yeah, you're sick, this is a terrible thing you've done to yourself and it can only lead to bad things."
The conversation then turned to Oprah's introduction if Sidibe, playing a sound clip of her words and then proceeding to slam her comments. "Oprah's another liar, a filthy liar," said Stern, "she's telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she's going to have a career."
What do you think? Do Stern and Given's words have any truth or did the two take things way too far.

Good old Howie wouldn't be Howie if he didn't say stuff like this! I've listened to him since the early 90s and he's said a lot worse . . . .

I must admit, I've never listened to this radio show. Now I never will. Is it really any of this Howard Stern person's business to make such horrible comments about this woman? NO!
