The out-there radio host won't take back his comments for his scathing attack on Oscar-nominated actress, Gabourey Sidibe, and insists the plump star "needs help".

Stern blasted Sidibe on his Sirius radio show on Monday (8 March). "There's the enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone's pretending she's a part of show business and she's never going to be in another movie."

The big mouth even went there with Oprah by saying: "Oprah's another liar, a filthy liar. She's telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she's going to have a career."

Does he NOT realise that not only is Gabourey an OSCAR-nominated actress, but she's also joined that cast of Showtime's comedy series 'The Big C'...AND she's also starring in a drama opposite another TaleTela favourite - Zoe Kravitz!?

In defense of his comments, Stern said: "The point I was trying to make is that obesity in this country is out of control. What's really sad is that you see people saying it's OK to be like this, you have to love your own body. It's OK to look like that.

"I feel this girl is going to kill herself - you can't eat like this. I did enjoy her performance (in Precious) I have nothing against her, I'm just trying to say she's enormous.

"The girl has got tremendous problems and she needs help. And we got slammed (for saying it)."
