Inaccuracy and more in Stern's negative comments about 'Precious' actress Sidibe

Laura Beck
Huffington Post Blogger / Writer

“Personally, I don't think she's someone who is in need of our mass pity disguised as concern. I'm pretty sure she's doing better than most of us professionally right now, and her future is looking so bright, she's gotta wear shades. ”


Racist comments from Stern about 'Precious' actress Sidibe

Zennie Abraham
CEO of SBS, author of Zennie62 Blog

“Stern was being racist. Period. End of story. Racism is a mental illness. It is the putting down - the rejecting - of a person because of the color of their skin. Howard Stern talked as if being black was something that made Gabourey Sidibe unattractive in his eyes. That's John Mayer-level racism.”


Bright career for Gabourey Sidibe

Rachel Tenner
Casting Director / Producer

“['Precious'] was an incredibly difficult role. And what I know of Sidibe, she's not from that world. This [character] wasn't something she knew, and she tapped into something pretty dark... I know for myself, good is good, great is great, and as a casting director, that's what I want.”


Sad truth to Stern's comments about Gabourey Sidibe

Jeffrey Wells
Author of Hollywood Elsewhere Blog

“Gabby is a lovely person and a fine actress, but the hard fact is that she's way, way too fat... I don't want Gabby to not work, but the only roles she'll have a shot at playing will be down-market moms and hard-luck girls working at Wal-Mart.”


Stern comments on actress Gabourey Sidibe

Jeff Mace
Commenter on Huffington Post

“The truth lies somewhere in between... First of all, Howard Stern has based his career off of politically incorrect and infuriating comments. A lot of people would relish in it if he had made these statements about Limbaugh. (I would have). So you can't have your cake and eat it too.”


His earlier critical comments of actress Gabourey Sidibe

Howard Stern
Radio Show Host / Celebrity

“I kinda don’t see a difference between what our Artie [Lange] did — Artie tried to kill himself — and I feel like this girl, in a slower way, but nevertheless the same outcome will be that she’s going to kill herself.”


Smart business in Rockies re-signing veteran Helton

Craig Calcaterra
Blogger for Circling the Bases, NBC Sports

“While more money to...Helton may not be the best baseball move, he's insanely popular in Colorado. The deferral of dough avoids the team...a smart-but-unpopular decision regarding Helton's overpriced 2012 option... You don't do this sort of thing with just any player, but...Helton is that guy...”


Financial smarts around Rockies re-signing veteran Helton

Jim McLennan
Sports Blogger, SB Nation

“[Helton's] deferring...will give the Rockies flexibility during a window when they look set to compete in the NL West for some time.”


Smart deal for Helton on the Rockies w/ deferred pay

Micah Warren
Author of Off The Record Blog / Radio Personality

“2023? That’s a long time to defer money, but we kind of like it. Long after you are done playing baseball and all the hard work is over, you still collect a check.”


Keeping Todd Helton in the Rockies' clubhouse

Dan O'Dowd
MLB GM, Colorado Rockies

“We view him in the same way as a Cal Ripken, George Brett and Tony Gwynn. He's a Rockie, and a Hall of Famer we believe... It was something that made sense, and it's great for the fans to be able to celebrate him and know he will be here.”
