TV Guide Network was on the red carpet of the 68th Golden Globes on Sunday, January 16th to speak with the stars of film and television as they made their way into the Beverly Hilton Hotel for one of the hottest nights in Hollywood.

The big award winner of the night, “Glee,” seems to have a lot of famous fans including Golden Globe winner Katey Sagal who revealed she would love to be on the show but the campaign might be for Gabby Sidibe.

As she has stated before, the ‘Precious’ actress, who called her dress “purple awesomeness,” told TV Guide Network that she would love to appear on the award-winning ‘Glee.” She says, “I want to be on ‘Glee’ yesterday. I really want to do it so maybe you can call someone for me! I’m so jealous of Gwyneth Paltrow for being on it.”

It seems as if the “Glee’s” cast members would love to have her!

‘Glee’s” Jenna Ushkowitz says, “Ryan knows how much she loves the show. We plug her all the time and tell him, ‘Gabby’s coming today!’ We love her to death so that would be awesome.”

Co-star Amber Riley jokes that although she doesn’t have casting power, “I can bug Ryan Murphy though and I intend too. Let’s see Gabby for Glee on Twitter. Let’s make it a trending topic!”

Jayma Mays continues the love for Gabby and says, “We need to do a ‘Glee for Gabby’ campaign. That’s what I need to start. She would be amazing on the show. Listen Ryan.“

How does the creator Ryan Murphy respond when told of the budding campaign? He tells the Network, “That’s funny because we tried to get her on the show last year and she was not available. We love her. She’s great. She’s a sweet girl.”

 




 

The ‘Precious: Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire’ actress is hoping to shed her excess pounds, but knows she wouldn’t have landed her breakthrough role if she wasn’t overweight, her mother Alice Tan Ridley has revealed.

Alice said: “The truth is Gabourey would like to lose some weight but the reality is that she would not have gotten the role of Precious if she had not been heavy.

“As her mum I would like to see my daughter healthy but if she didn’t lose weight that’s not a problem either – it runs in our family.

“We have relatives that are 80 who are too heavy so it works in different ways for different folks.”

Regardless of whether Gabourey loses weight or not, her mother believes she will go on to have a long acting career.

She added to RadarOnline.com: “I’m proud of my daughter no matter what and the truth is that there are all kinds of acting roles for all sorts of people.”

It has been reported that Gabourey is being lined up for weight loss reality show ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ but Alice insists the star has not been approached.

She said: “I have not heard anything about her appearing on ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ or any of these dieting companies getting Gabby to try and endorse their products.”

“Precious” actress Gabourey Sidibe knows exactly who she wants as her date when she attends the Oscar Awards on March 7th.

“I want to make Justin Timberlake and Anthony Mackie fight it out for the honor of being my date,” Sidibe told Canadian TV show “eTalk.” “I’m just going to throw them in the ring and make them do it!”

And if she had to choose between the “SexyBack” singer and the “Hurt Locker” hunk?

During the televised interview, the 26-year-old actress turned to the camera and said, “Justin, if you’re not doing anything on that night, maybe you could be my date or something. It’s fine. No pressure!”

The Best Actress nominee has made no secret of her passion for N’Sync and Timberlake.

After Timberlake announced her name as a Golden Globe nominee in December, Sidibe went nuts.

“Oh my God, Justin Timberlake just said my name,” the actress told . “I told my roommate, and I literally said, ‘Oh my God, Justin just said my name. He finally said my name.’ ”
