GABOUREY SIDIBE: ‘TOWER HEIST’ HOTTIE

Following the success of Precious, has Gabourey Sidibe found a new job as a high-rise employee? Not likely.

The 27-year-old actress was busy at work in New York City on Friday (December 3) as she filmed a scene for The Tower Heist on Manhattan’s West Side.

Brett Ratner‘s upcoming comedy co-stars Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Alan Alda and Tea Leoni.

Ben will play a manager of an affluent high rise who leads a crew of disgruntled workers in a heist of its penthouse resident (Alan), a Bernie Madoff-esque, Wall Street capitalist who defrauded the staff of their pensions. Eddie will play a safe cracker who joins the team.

Screenwriter Jeff Nathanson (of Rush Hour 3 fame ) is the one responsible for the latest draft, which Universal put into production earlier this month.
