Check out Gabby’s interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

Her response about her confidence.

“People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and,” she chuckles, “you must decorate it.”

I love this girl and thank God she’s not acting like her co-star. To check out the article click here

Apparently the “Single Ladies” hip thrusting “brand” is taking a break.

“It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,” she said. “I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.”

“I’m going to do random things. I want to go to restaurants, maybe take a class and see some movies and Broadway shows. I’ll spend more time with Daniel. He’s a wonderful kid, amazing, so smart. And I spoil him, so it’s a lot of work. He’s a 24-hour job.”

“It will be the hardest thing in the world for me to make myself not do an album and shoot a video and turn it in and say, ‘I’m ready!’ I already have all these melodies and ideas in my head,” she said. “I have to tell myself, ‘Sit down! Sit down!’ “

Yes sit your a** down! I have a feeling this isn’t going to be a real break. She is probably doing commercial shoots right now that will run during the 6 months so it will feel like she never left. Have some damn kids and give us at least 6 YEARS then come back!

No one is immune to my rants on thicksational.com and sadly it is Mo’Nique’s turn.

I thought someone knocked some sense into her about the Oscar nominations, but she is still not getting it. Check out what she said to the NY Times.

“Anytime I’ve been given an award, it has been because of the performance; what else goes into it?” she said, appearing genuinely mystified. “Look, it makes me appreciative any time someone says they may want to honor your performance. I’m appreciative at any talk in reference to any award, but there’s not much I can do about it now. The performance is done.”

But isn’t she worried that “they” will think she doesn’t want the Oscar?

“I’ve been asked the question before,” she said, “and it’s like, guys, I also have this show called ‘The Mo’Nique Show’ where I tape six shows a week. I have twins who are 4, so I have babies, I have an amazing husband and a son who’s 19. What I can participate in I’m more than happy to.”

Ok Mo’Nique I understand you have this “busy” life but let me explain something to you thickette………WHO CARES! You have to look at the bigger picture! Yes when you did this film it was a small production and no one expected the movie would receive the recognition but, IT DID. So instead of looking at the Oscar as a gold trophy, you should look at it as more opportunities and BREAKING BARRIERS! You are a FULL FIGURED woman who could win an OSCAR and even though you’re thinking on a smaller level you need to realize you are representing all of us! YES DAMMIT ALL OF US! You may not want the responsibility but you have it and if you didn’t want the responsibility you should have never got into the business. You have to play the politics in order to win in life and with the movie being a huge success, maybe this is a sign that it’s meant for you to go to a higher level in your career (duh!)!

In my opinion you are being ungrateful. Do you realize what this could mean not only to you but to the plus size and African American community as well? If you weren’t serious about your craft why did you do the movie? I thought I would never say this but I am very disappointed. You are narrow minded and refuse to get out of your “what about my life” bubble.

So you are busy? Well rearrange your schedule! Your amazing husband can take care of the kids and you can limit the days that you do your show until the Oscars! I’ll take you winning an Oscar over the “Mo’Nique Show” any day!

What do you think thickettes?
