Rebel Wilson is having her moment in Hollywood, thanks to Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect. She even has her own TV show coming out, Super Fun Night. Yet she still gets treated like crap by Russell Crowe and now a rude bouncer at Skybar. Okay, first of all, Skybar sucks. Valet parking is $20. Not to get all Chris Brown, who freaked out when he had to pay $10 for valet, but twenty f-cking dollars?? And it’s a total letdown inside. BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT.
Ms. Wilson suspects that it has something to do with her weight. I get her point. You could say that she’s not famous enough to be recognized, except here’s what happened. From Cosmopolitan:
Anna Kendrick was having her birthday party there [Skybar], and it was a fancy place. So I get there with Hana Mae Lee from Pitch Perfect, and I’ve got a birthday gift so I’m clearly going to the party, and this big huge bouncer wouldn’t even look us in the face. We were like, “Hi”…and then two models came and he let them in.
If she was also a model, would she have been let in, no question? Yes. Absolutely. I don’t doubt it. When asked if she did the ole “Do yo know who I am?” bit, she laughed and said,
I didn’t pull the Reese Witherspoon. He had a list, and I said, ‘Excuse me, we’re on the list. We’re here for Anna Kendrick’s birthday party.’ And then, eventually, he’s like ‘Okay, what’s your name?’
Don’t let this headline fool you. Do I think she’s too fat to go to a club? Of course not. That’s ridiculous. I think it sucks that if she was a skinny model she would have been let in without a second thought. And that seems to be what she’s saying too. If you’re a model, you don’t need to be famous to get into clubs, especially one as stupid as Skybar.
I could not have expressed how I feel about this kind of crap better myself. I love this girl. I wish I knew this girl or she lived in my neighborhood. ANY party would be better with her in it.
