Print"Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe was the toast of Sunday night's Vanity Fair Oscar party -- despite the uproar over her omission from the magazine's Young Hollywood cover.
Sidibe was feted by host Graydon Carter at Hollywood's Sunset Towers Hotel, along with Jeff Bridges, Jeremy Renner, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Hilary Swank, Colin Firth, Jane Fonda, Christoph Waltz, Kathryn Bigelow, Lauren Bacall and Morgan Freeman.

The controversial March VF cover featured Carey Mulligan, Kristen Stewart, Amanda Seyfried and several other svelte, white starlets, while stocky Sidibe was shunted to an interview inside.
Sidibe recently said, "At first I thought, 'Hmm, should I be there?' Then I very quickly got over it . . . I come from a world where I'm not on covers and I'm not in magazines at all. And so I was happy to be in the magazine."

Her subway-singer mom, Alice Tan Ridley, told Page Six at the party, "Gabby is talking about doing her own cover, which would be so exciting. What has happened for her is beyond belief. She already has three more movies and an HBO pilot, and she only moved out of my house last August." Vanity Fair declined to comment on any possible Gabby cover.
After shaking hands with J.Lo and hugging Elton John, Sidibe told us, "This has been an amazing night. I've met everybody."
Meanwhile, many partygoers were wondering what the heck Sean Penn was mumbling about before he presented the Best Actress award to Sandra Bullock.
He seemed to be apologizing to estranged wife Robin Penn Wright for failing to thank her last year, and saying she should have been nominated this year for "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee." Too late -- she's already getting a divorce.

She not a pretty sight.She is so no green and she is a danger to the environment.
1-She uses more space that 3 regular people.
2-She uses more oxygen to feed that enormous body than a regular person.
3-She puts out more co2 than a regular person because of her size.
It is not politically correct to say that fat people are not environmentally correct but it is true.Fat people should lose weight and get to their correct weight according to height.That way a lot of pollution will not be there.Do not blame coal firing power plants without blaming fat people also.

nutJoba.....Right on the money. Now obesity will become cool, again, when it was finally be called what it really is, disgusting. It did motive me to go get a bucket of chicken though.
PS: Does she pay for one or two seats on a plane?
