I actually thought she was horrible on SNL. The reading of the cue cards, the deadpan acting, the stumbling over the words. It was messy.

And that wig is still horrible. :/

I'm more troubled by the fact that that is the most realistic wig Elle could come up with for this girl.

thank you! even her mama wig game stepped up on America's got talent!!

like they said, everybody is photoshopped and whatnot, so I can't be offended at something they do to everyone, even the whitest, skinniest chicks.

at least Gabby, unlike Megan Fox, is actually a natural woman! *starts singing Aretha*

Here come the irony: Even ReRe want Halle to play her ass. They need to be dunkin Halle in a big tub of "natural" before they roll those cameras.

well Aretha wasn't always healthy/thick/fat/obese....not that I'm saying she was no Halle Berry back in her days either, but I can see how it is hard to see clearly through a haze of KFC grease....

The "natural" I'm talkin about ain't fat. Rere is not an ugly woman, but she's a lil more "natural" in the face than Halle.

OK maybe a lot.

No one on these magazine covers ever looks the way they really do in person. Whether black, white, or latina or Indian, they are always air-brushed to look flawless and that will always change the tone of one's skin.

I haven't seen Precious, but I saw Gabourey on SNL and fell in love with her. She's hilarious.

And that wig is still horrible. :/

There were some screwups, but overall she totally won me over. She's got a dazzling personality.

It's what you make it.

beats me. all i know is, when i bare my snowy white skin (really not much into tanning, me) for public viewing i get all kinds of derisive looks. how can it go both ways? people hate people who are too black, and they also hate people who are too white.....? neutral
