Nice Chassis

"Precious" actress Gabourey Sidibe at the Broadway opening of "Fences" last night, and a Hummer.

So alike, and yet only one has custom leather upholstery.

Chaz n' Fatty

Transgender celebutot Chaz Bono at the GLAAD Awards on Saturday, and acquitted silent screen star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.

So alike, and yet only one of them chose to become a fat man.

Check That!

Nice tie!

Orange You Going to Eat That?

Gabourey Sidibe as she appeared today at a screening of "Precious" in Tokyo, and a large round plastic orange plate.

So alike, and yet only one makes food look unappealing.

Happy Birthday, Aretha Franklin

Go on, make two wishes. Aretha is 68 today.

The Ladies in Red

Aretha Franklin as she appeared at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino last night in Hollywood, Florida, and the Statue of Liberty in a red dress.

So alike, and yet only one weighs 225 tons.

Larry King Interviews Killer Whale

"I'm sick of being in this fuckin' bathtub," said the killer whale who killed his trainer yesterday. "How many of you jackasses do I have to drown before you let me back in the ocean?"

Never one to miss a scoop, King asked, "Is this a hat?"

Amy and the First Lady

My imaginary daughter Amy, 6, had a very rough day at school, with kids teasing her about being part of Michelle Obama's campaign against obesity in children.

"Am I obese, Ricky?" she lamented, while reaching for a celery stick. "Am I like Maury Pobitch fat?" She refuses to get his name right.


Amy has had a slight weight problem since she was 2, exacerbated by her recently blonded mother Carolyn's insistence on viewing the food pyramid as a tourist attraction. As you can see by Carolyn's expression, the Nile is, indeed, a river in Egypt.


"No, you're not obese, honey," I lied. "I like to think of you as delicious," which she is. "But you could follow the rules and eat sensibly," I paternally added.

"I'm thinking of going on a diet," she said, "because Mrs. Obama thinks I'm fat. At least I'm not stupid like those kids who say I'm obesity." She had an excellent point there, and I didn't have the heart to correct her usage.

"I mean, look at this cute outfit I have on!" I couldn't deny that her socks, faux tats and Converse were precious. Yes, I know, she's big for six.


She trundled off to her room to write Michelle Obama a letter. Here it is:

Dear Michelle First Lady,

My name is Amy. I'm 6. I'm sorry I'm so fat, but I'm big for six. I will try to lose weight. I think you are very beautiful. My imaginary friend Delilah is going to help me. Oh, and Ricky too.

Love,

Amy Elaine

P.S. Can Sasha and Malia come over sometime? My dad will make something not fattening.


Just after I finished reading it, Carolyn blew the horn (she can't come in per the court order). Amy grabbed her things and went outside to Carolyn's VW Jetta, where, as I watched from the window, she was handed a bag of food from Carl's drive-thru, which Amy refused!

Thank you, Mrs. Obama!

Grammy Attire

"Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe at a Grammy party, and a stack of tires.

So alike, and yet only one is measured in pounds per square inch.

Madame Chair

"Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe as seen at the film's Australian premiere today in Sydney, and a girl sitting in an inflatable red chair.

So alike, and yet only one is liable to burst.
