No surprises from him here. =/
Howard Stern has defended his fierce attack on Precious star Gabourey Sidibe, after describing the budding actress as "the most enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen".
The US radio host first ridiculed Sidibe during his Sirius satellite show on Monday (local time) while discussing the Oscars award ceremony the previous night.
"Everyone's pretending she's a part of show business and she's never going to be in another movie," Stern said.
"She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she's never going to have another shot."
Sidibe, 27, earned an Oscar nomination for her acting debut in Precious, the story of an abused teenager struggling to grow up in Harlem.
Even Oprah Winfrey, who gave effusive praise to Sidibe on her talkshow, came in for drubbing.
"Oprah's another liar, a filthy liar," Stern said.
"She's telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she's going to have a career."
Sidibe is actually already committed to a few acting projects. She will appear opposite Laura Linney in the TV series The C Word and her next big-screen role will be in the drama Yelling to the Sky.
Stern defended his ribald comments on his radio show this morning, claiming he meant to draw attention to obesity in the US.
