"Gabourey Sidibe Precious Oscars"

Howard Stern and Robin “House Negro” Quivers can shut it now: We heard on BOSSIP Twitter that Gabourey Sidibe is set to host SNL. Pop the top for more on the story.

Ms. Sidibe is going to be hosting an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live! “It literally just happened,” a source said of the deal.

No word on an exact date yet.

SNL is not—we repeat, not—the only gig Sidibe has scored since her feature film debut. She has a recurring role on Showtime’s upcoming The Big C, about a teacher (Laura Linney) living with cancer. Sidibe plays one of her sassy students. The series, which is set to premiere in August, also costars Oliver Platt.

    Yeah Gabby!! I’m so proud of you! Don’t listen to the negativity, keep your head up and God will continue to bless you.

  • Lovely Darling

    Pretty incredible for someone who was “never going to find work in this town again.”
    There are many actors and actresses who would love to host snl.
    Whether anyone likes it or not Gabby isn’t going anywhere.

  • :)

    i wonder if shes going to do a howard stern skit and play robin. that might be funny.

  • Stacey

    I’m happy for her. Perhaps she isn’t the most beautiful woman in the world, but people insulting her in droves isn’t going to inspire her to lose weight. If anything, I imagine it would make her depressed and eat more. I get the feeling, however, that the people making fun of her are most miserable. How have we as a nation gotten so cold-hearted?

  • DR.FUNK

    I like her personality. She is too big though simply for health reasons. It would be hilarious for her to mock Robin Quivers.

  • http://www.bossip.com the realest

    SNL is a perfect place for her since thats all people do is laugh at her.

  • Dilla

    @UglyDarling/Hannable, your comment and looks=FAIL

  • MissMelly

    So she’s fat. And the sky is blue too. The girl has a fun personality, and I think she’ll do just fine on SNL.

  • MISDEMEANOR

    YEAH THAT’S ALL WE NEED THIS BIG FAT BLACK FEMALE IN OUR FACE AT EVERY TURN. THIS IS THE NEW IMAGE OF BLACK WOMEN THEY ARE TRYING TO PROJECT.

  • white male

    hopefully the taxpayers don’t have to pay for her diabetes medicine

  • http://unlimitedwhispers.com Deirdre B Pride

    You’ll all be surprised. She is really a charming girl. She is hilarious. Howard Stern is gonna eat crow. She appeared on The Soup and she had me dying…..The episodes are on youtube and my blog….*shameless plug*.

  • Amber Lamps

    There are two issues here: (1) Her and (2) Hollywood.

    (1) Her, the lady: She is overweight. Big deal or not. She should grab as much as she can while she can.

    (2) Hollywood: Hollywood does not like big/fat people. Hollywood does not hire them. Unless they play fat men with skinny wives. Fat is simply not attractive and hollywood goes for what is attractive.

  • Big_nose

    Go Gabby! Love ya!

  • jeanna

    OK, for those of you who are not aware, SNL is NOT HOLLYWOOD. Stern said that fat people black or white, male or female only work in COMEDIC roles which is what SNL is a COMEDY show. Stop blaming the messenger, she is indeed overweight and Hollywierd does not do FAT. None of the top earning actresses are overweight, let’s stop being militant and be real………

  • bklynlady

    I so love this pic of her. Not only does she look great, her mom in the back looks so proud!!!!!! Go Gabby, Go Gabby, Go! This is BIG!!!!! Gabby is on her way!

  • juliemango

    Proud of Gabby she will do well on SNL, as for the Big C like the sound of that character!!!

  • http://www.swirlsociety.com swirlsociety.com

    i can feel a major setup coming on here or she is going to look out of her depth it will not be funny

  • KreoleKing

    I want this chic to just go away.

    Damn doesn’t tyler perry make black women look bad enough with out this Mammie appearing on every channel.

    I mean we have seen more of this Mammie lately than we have seen First Lady OBAMA or Halle Berry.

    It’s like they want to celebrate this image of black women in America. I’m sure people in other countries are shaking their heads at black women right now.

  • BBBEE25

    Gabby looks nice in this pic. Finally they covered up her arms fashionably and finally she doesn’t look like an old lady. She has a pretty face but she needs to lose weight. All that arm fat and stomach fat is no good.

  • BBBEE25

    I think she will do well on SNL. She seems to have a playful and bubbly personality.

  • leroy

    you haters act like there are no fat people in the world…..how many of you female haters are size zero?

    the majority of actresses in hollywood are size zero and size two…..which is not a reflection of real women

    gabby may be fat right now but she can and will lose the weight…..

    haters, your stupidity and vanity will last a lifetime

    _____________________________

    That would be hysterical! Who would portray Howard, I wonder?

  • top ramen shotta

    howard said she wouldn’t get another role in a motion picture, not that she wouldn’t host a show on basic cable.

    gabby is pretty & in her moment…may great things continue to come her way

  • bklynlady

    @KreoleKing

    Light skin men went out with the whop homie. Based on your pic and your comments, you must be gay. HAVE to be. Only a betch speaks in such terms. Do your light bright yellow arse even know what a mammie is? Do you know how DISRESPECTFUL that word is to ALL black woman? Light or dark skin. How about you go away. Bury that head of yours up ya azz.
    ….and no fa**ot, I’m not dark or fat so NEXT!

  • bklynlady

    @KreoleKing

    ….and another thing, instead of you giving her her props and credit for overcoming boundaries as well as stereotypes you rather be a lame disrespect azzhole. Why? because of her appearance? Fckin jerk! Come here, let me smack ya yellow azz for looking and acting like a betch!
    You probably only date white…..fckin idiot.

  • Gabby Fan

    Gabby is such an inspiration for many of our young black women because she is teaching them to love themselves no matter what. With self love comes self improvement. Gabby knows what she needs to do and its HER decision to do it.

    It’s sad to read all of these comments about this YOUNG BLACK WOMAN from BLACK PEOPLE. Most REAL MEN I know would rather be with a CONFIDENT BIG GIRL than an insecure skinny woman.

    EVERYONE has someone in their family that has her body structure like! Mother, sister, aunt, cousin whatever…BUT if this was your relative you would be ready to whoop somebody’s azz for talking bad about them.

    As far as all the negative comments about Gabby…I haven’t heard Gabby begging or pleading for ANYONE to like her… (if you’re so tired of “seeing” her STOP LOOKING!)

    co-sign all the way

    @Mr GQ

    Are you the same person who got all religious last week and started quoting bible verses on that story about Noah’s Arc? Just asking.

  • http://bossip jellybeans

    Gabby is a smart young lady and she’s beautiful in my eyes.
    Her hair stylist should shorten her hair.Like all of us we need to change some things about ourselves, if she lost 100+lbs. there would still be talk against her.
