Academy Award–nominee Gabourey Sidibe has folks buzzing, but not about her newfound screen success as the star of "Precious." Instead, tongues are wagging about the young woman's dire need to shed quite a few pounds.
According to TMZ, the 26-year-old was recently approached by a weight loss company and offered a year's supply of their product, so that she could not only lose the weight to improve her image but to save her life.
Acai Supply sent Sidibe a letter, detailing how the actress should prove all of the naysayers (i.e., Howard Stern) wrong and lose weight, so that she could have a bright future in Hollywood as an actress.
The company claims that Acai Supply products are chock-full of antioxidants and nutrients and have helped their clients achieve a healthier life that is full of energy and vitality. Acai Supply has only one stipulation, though: after Sidibe loses the weight, they would like her to give the public a "glowing testimony" of their products.
Will she take them up on their offer? Time will tell....

I think it's ridiculous that society but a size on beauty and creates a standard, if Gabourey(sp) is fine being big, black and beautiful then power to her, if she is comfortable in her own skin who are we to judge and tell her what to do...AND who says that plus size people are un-healty? I think it's funny how people always want to comment about how she looks and what she needs to do without regards to her feelings and her emotions, people its 2010 get the f*ck over it!! let the woman be who she wants to be even if its weighing 200+...skinny and thin isn't always in..BTW did you know her father is African and in Africa being plus size is a sign of wealth..different cultures like different things.
