Precious star Gabby Sidibe says she would prefer Oscars date with mum than Justin Timberlake

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Gabby Sidibe, star of Precious, says she would rather take her mum to her all-important first Oscars ceremony than hunky pop singer Justin Timberlake.

Despite having a major crush on the handsome chart-topper, the curvy actress told CBS’s Early Show she’d take a rain check on a date with him if he asked to escort her to the glitzy March event.

The 26-year-old New Yorker is nominated for a best actress award for her first ever acting role, in hit movie Precious: Based On The Novel Push by Sapphire.

She also revealed to presenter Maggie Rodriguez that she officially has a boyfriend and already has her glamorous gown ready for her first Oscars.

But her new beau won’t get the chance to link arms with Gabby on the red carpet – instead her beloved mother will join her for the evening.

When asked whether she’d switch her companion for the likes of Justin Timberlake, she replied: “That’s really mean! I’d have to tell him that I have to take my mum – but he should meet me at Red Lobster afterwards!”

Also nominated for the prestigious award are movie royalty Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren, as well as heavy-hitters Sandra Bullock and Carey Mulligan.

Alice In Wonderland star Johnny Depp injured himself on the set of the new movie by doing the Futterwack.

The 46-year-old actor plays the role of the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s adaptation of the classic tale.

Burton, 51, revealed that Depp injured himself by doing the Futterwack, a dance craze inspired by author Lewis Carroll’s book.

He told EXTRA: “The doctor said he can’t Futterwack for three months. And I only Futterwack in the privacy of my own home. You know, like a singer or dancer. I do it privately.”

Depp added: “I’m itching to Futterwack. Just don’t have it in me today.”

Leona Lewis’ dumping criteria

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

The singer recently shared with everyone some of her criteria for dumping. It appears that Leona Lewis doesn’t look too well about text messages with naughty content… especially those sent to other women. This is what Leona Lewis said when asked on the matter: “Is it as bad as cheating? Yes, as it could lead to something else – why did they have a girl’s number in the first place? There’s obviously some intention. It’s a dumpable offence, for sure.” No argument with Leona Lewis there, but the way she says it might send the wrong message. When you say it’s a “dumpable” offence… some might interpret it as being loosely let go. After all, what harm does an innocent little message do?
