Gabourey Sidibe may have been nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, but industry insiders say that the “Precious” star is going to have to lose weight if she intends to continue her film career. “I’m not saying it’s correct, but it’s a simple fact that she will have to lose a lot of weight if she wants to keep getting parts,” one casting director told PopEater . “The same thing happened to Nikki Blonsky from ‘Hairspray.’ Everyone said how great she was, and she hasn’t worked since.” Sidibie’s friends say Gabby hasn’t felt any pressure to diet, but they also noted that scripts aren’t exactly flying her way either.

I'm no size 4 myself, but she needs to lose weight just to survive! I see her dead at a young age from diabetes and kidney failure if she doesn't straighten out her act.
