Lee Daniels, director of Precious, put his foot in his mouth when accepting Best Film Honors at the NAACP Awards when he made a dumbass remark about the film's star, Gabourey Sidibe.

"No one in Hollywood told me they wanted to see a movie about a 350-pound black girl who had HIV," Daniels blurted out during his acceptance speech, before realizing that he'd possibly embarrassed his full-figured star. Trying to cover up his mistake, the director stuttered at Sidibe and the audience, "She's not 350 pounds. ... Gabby... But the book says. ... " The Oscar-nominated actress grew noticeably upset, shaking her head at the director's comment...

I want to commend Gabby for being so gracious as to accept a dumbass' apology. Not only was she fantastic in the film but incredibly brave for putting herself out there as much as she did. She must have known that when the film opened she would be subject to scrutiny. Gabby put herself under a microscope not only to open the door for African American talent but also for full-figured female actors. Gabby has taken everything in stride, not to mention she's looked fabulous while doing so. Via DailyNews Below is a gallery of Gabby lookin' fly on the red carpet!
