i’ll go ahead & say she needs to lose weight to get it out of the way because someone will say it even though this article has nothing to do with her weight.
Alright; I agree. She needs to be on Biggest Loser or Thintervention instead.
This is crucial. I want to support her but I do not know how long I can keep giving her a pass. It’s not like her acting is soooo amazing that she doesn’t need other attributes.
I enjoy her acting, but I want to enjoy her presence on screen aesthetically.
P.S. I guess soon, she’ll be saying she has a crush on Eddie Murphy and wants to sleep with him. You know how she does.
Snicker > > your 100% right.
Yeah that’s the real IMPORTANT biz, right thurr! And peeps usually “eat bedda” after they “blow up” (no pun!) So…she really needs to holla at J.Hud or something! That size ain’t healthy for nobody!, & she’s too talented a chick for Us to lose over some B.S. like….”weight”!
I love it! Now someone needs to call that butthole Howard Stern up and let him know he was W-R-O-N-G! It appears Gabby is working – consistently! That’s all I gotta say about this.
AMEN!
and his sidekick, Robin Quivers – she said the same thing. I expect her to agree with whatever Howard says.
I pray that she does get on a serious weight loss/nutritional effective program; she’s talented, but, you cannot carry that kind of load around your internal organs for a very long time…..
