Gabourey Sidibe wants a rich man to buy her an apartment.

The 'Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire' actress has set her sights on a luxury New York home and is hoping to meet an "eccentric billionaire" to help her out with the purchase.

She said: "I want an apartment. I want an eccentric billionaire to buy me a Manhattan apartment!"

The Oscar-nominated star turns 27 today (06.05.10) and revealed she is planning to celebrate by indulging in some spa treatments.

She told People magazine: "I'm going to get my nails done. It's fun to get a little pampered on your birthday."

However, the actress' ideal birthday present would be a guest spot on US TV show 'Glee' so she can spend more time with one of her pals.

She enthused: "I love 'Glee'. I live and breathe for Amber Riley - as well as her character Mercedes.

"But I wouldn't want to have a sing off with Amber because she's actually a friend of mine. She's amazing and fun and it would be so cool to be on the show with her and hang out with the cast. I'm a huge fan."
