For Your Consideration: Gabby Sidibe's Choreographed Dance Number on Ellen
On the way to her inevitable Oscar nomination, you are going to read a lot of profiles of Precious actress Gabby Sidibe that note with some surprise how the effervescent young woman is nothing like her downtrodden movie character. Yesterday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, though, Sidibe decided to get all that out of the way from the very start, namely by entering the studio to a dance number that she and a male friend (“And he’s straight!”) had choreographed in the hopes that someday, she’d have a chance to use the routine in front of DeGeneres. Guess it worked!
The clip is below. Top that, Carey Mulligan!

If they made lesbian robots, I believe they would have Ellen's particular haircut.

in a darkened room in the catacombs of her home, a frightened carey mulligan scrubs blood off the floor. "are you done yet?" asks a female voice from the kitchen. carey whimpers. appearing in the doorway with a voodoo doll of gabby in hand is meryl streep. she crouches down to meet carey's eye level. "don't worry, they'll be another one joining you soon enough."

looks like she really does want to be in one of those BET videos... clearly she's more like her character than we think.
