Precious Star Gabourey Sidibe Wants To Lose Weight

Gabourey Sidibe's mother Alice Tan Ridley tells Radar that her Oscar nominated daughter would like to shed some pounds. I have a feeling we'll see Gabby as the next Jenny Craig spokesperson later this year!

“The truth is Gabourey would like to lose some weight but the reality is that she would not have gotten the role of Precious if she had not been heavy. As her mom I would like to see my daughter healthy but if she didn’t lose weight that’s not a problem either – it runs in our family."

Gabourey took some heat from Howard Stern last week about her weight, and there's a rumor that producers want her to do Celebrity Fit Club. I think she should start off trying a Zumba class because it's a b*tch, but it's a hell of a workout. She'll sweat out 10 pounds of water weight in the first class!
