Full sized on the red carpet

If you still haven't heard of Gabourey Sidibe, it is high time you got with it! The actress features among the 5 nominees for the Best Actress Oscar. In "Precious", produced by Oprah Winfrey, the actress develops alongside Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey.

Malicious gossips can draw in their claws! Her more than generous figure did not stop her finding a suitable gown. Her stylist confided to "USA Today" that designers were vying to dress Gabby: "Working with her has been so easy because she's so comfortable with who she is, in her skin!" Their final choice turned to the Marchesa designers who also dress Jennifer Lopez.

Finally a woman who reveals the real American body! Gabourey admits to having started dieting at just 6 years old: "I've never been a small girl. I decided that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body!"
