Shut up, Howard Stern, seems to be the reply to his nasty remarks against “Precious” star Gabourey Sidibe. In March, the caustic and raunchy radio host made some hurtful and, some say, unnecessary quips about Gabbie’s weight, calling her, “the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen.” Sadly, Howard Stern’s sidekick –and bulge battle victim– Robin Quivers, jumped into the mob fray and railed against Oprah Winfrey for, “telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she’s going to have a career.”

The comments generated a firestorm on the airwaves, as celebrities and the public “weighed in.”
Jamie Foxx is the latest celebrity to join in defense of the novice actress, and blasted Stern last week on his own show, Foxx Hole. According to daily celebrity gossip blog, The Dish, the Oscar-winning actor stated:
“I hope that this feud gets us hot, because Howard hasn’t really made a big splash in a long time.”
One of Jamie’s co-hosts even chimed in against Quivers and stated, “Quivers has a lot in common with Precious, she was overweight, she was once black.”

To Ms. Sidibe’s credit, she will be starring in Showtime’s “The Big C,” alongside Laura Linney. And as one big finger to Howard Stern, she will be hosting SNL on April 24, 2010.
