Gabourey Sidibe's Mother Sings In Subway

February 08, 2010 | 04:01 PM PST

Filed under: Gabourey Sidibe



Precious star Gabourey Sidibe is up for a "Best Actress" Oscar for her role in Precious as her mother Alice Tan Ridley continues to sing soul in the Times Square and Penn Station subways of New York City.

Ridley previously worked as a teacher and teacher's aide before quitting to focus on her singing. "For a while, I was teaching and doing the singing, burning the candle at both ends to support my family," she told the NY Post, but now earns plenty of money, "to pay my bills and feed my kids."

Ridley has traveled all over the world to sing and despite having many offers to move her gig to the clubs, prefers the underground. Ridley was EVEN offered the role to play Gabourey's mother in Precious, but turned it down! Wowee!
