"...Some You Win And Some You Loose..."

Old saying.

Watch your language.

New meaning.

Coming up.

In an article posted online about actress Gabourey Sidibe, she recounts how one of her idols, actress Joan Cusack, told her at a first meeting that the obviously obsese Sidibe should give up on ever achieving any success in Hollywood because of her size and the "image conscious/obssessed" climate in show biz.

Sidibe, who found acclaim in the movie "Precious" and has gone on to be a co-star of the classy Showtime series, "The Big C", was, understandably disappointed that Cusack wasn't more supportive of her dream, but, as the rest of the article articulates, all's well that end's well.

Meanwhile, at the end of the article, as is the way of things these days, the "peanut gallery", more officially known as the "comments" section of the online piece let the opinions fly fast and furious regarding not only Cusack's original "advice" but also a little mini debate on the subject of Sidibe's weight.

Even the more obviously supportive of the commentators seemed to be lined up on the side of encouraging her to drop the pounds, if only for her personal well being.

And, included in the offerings, was a little back and forth triggered by the last sentence of the article itself, in which the writer opined, "We need more Gaboureys (and more Joans) in our movies and TV shows -- and fewer Kardashians.".

Some contributed a healthy "damn straight" while others lamented the apparent need to mention the K word in seemingly every written piece that comes down the information superhighway these days.

A transgresssion, by the way, that his writer, in the interest of full disclosure, has to admit a certain tendancy to commit.

Amidst the cacophony of commentary, though, a single line jumped out and, as Forest Gump might metaphorically offer, "bit me right on the buttocks."

Evoking a pure, unrestrained guffaw.

Sitting right there, knee deep in the hype hoopla, a little light of lament in the midst of pro K versus anti K, of should Sidibe drop the pounds or should it be anybody's business, a young lady named Tonia offered this little petulant plea...

"...For the love of God, people, please learn the difference between lose and loose. It drives me crazy..."

Me, too, Tonia.

Almost as much as reading about Kardashians.
