Has Kelly Clarkson Gained a Few More?

August 21st, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Gain, Kelly Clarkson.

Kelly Clarkson was at MTV Live in Canada yesterday, promoting her latest album “My December”.

She looked quite happy and relaxed, which is good, but also as though she may have put on another few pounds.

    Looks like she has gained a few more!

  2. Josie! | 21/08/07

    Yikes. The first pic is like… mama bear.

  3. Martine | 21/08/07

    SECOND

    She’s so fat. she needs to lose some poundage. I wouldnt call that “healthy” I would call that definatly just…round and gross.
    Get a grip on the food lady

  4. alina | 21/08/07

    OMG! what is she thinking?!!!

  5. May | 21/08/07

    She looks huge ans she’s clearly overweight. Still, her face has remained quite beautiful.

  6. Prinzz | 21/08/07

    Her face looks similar to how it was in 2005. She admittedly looks cute. I don’t think a skinny frame would suit her, but losing a few pounds wouldn’t hurt.

  7. Desiree | 21/08/07

    She keeps getting bigger and bigger….

  8. Jessica | 21/08/07

    this is so sad….
    i feel like shes on a huge binge after starving herself… hopeful she’ll be evened out in a while

  9. Meg | 21/08/07

    Yep, she’s fat by Hollywood standards. And by that I mean: She’s COMPLETELY NORMAL.

  10. reeree | 21/08/07

    oh wow. Definitely. i don’t understand why she won’t hire a chef to cook her some good healthy meals and a trainer to get her butt in shape.

  11. polkadot | 21/08/07

    She may have gained weight and she probably isn’t living the healthiest life-style, but her hair and face look prettier than they have in a LONG time. maybe shes finally getting some half decent stylist and style of her own.

    SHES BEAUTIFUL

  12. Anna | 21/08/07

    Love her hair-so cute!

  13. amma | 21/08/07

    She’s an underdog and I want to root for her. But with so much riding on her appearance {like it or not} would it kill her to eat a few salads instead of cheeseburgers??? Okay, I get she’s never going to be skinny, and maybe it wouldn’t suit her kind of cute look–but she looks unhealthy and like she just doesn’t care. But of course, what do I know about the pressure of fame and money? I don’t have those types of problems.

  14. Violet | 21/08/07

    Who gives - she’s gorgeous with a fantastic voice and to boot is a really lovely person! So she’s a little chubby - woo-hoo, Christ I mean she must be what? A UK 14 (US 10)? Hardly obese! It’s great that she hasn’t (yet) succumbed to this skinny nonsense and is a healthy role model for kids - eating the odd cheeseburger does not make you unhealthy, just normal!

  15. Tucker | 21/08/07

    I have never seen these before!
    I love her hair, she looks great.

  16. tim jones | 21/08/07

    She is incredibly beautiful. She looks marvelous with that extra weight. I just can’t get over how gorgeous she is. She looks so soft and curvy.

  17. JustMe | 21/08/07

    Yep.

  18. mary | 21/08/07

    I think she looks about the same. She’s cute, though. The fact that she’s comfortable with herself makes her able to pull off any size.

  19. Adrienne | 21/08/07

    She looks huge to me.

  20. Abby | 21/08/07

    Good for her.
    She is NOT fat.
    She is happy in her own body, she is content. She is’nt withdrawn and scrawny. Compared to other skinny halfwits yes she does look big, who wouldnt look big next to a skeleton?
    Be happy.

  21. Kara | 21/08/07

    I still love her regardless of what she weighs! I think she’s got a naturally rounder body by nature, but she does appear to have gained some more weight. Maybe caused by the stress of her recent career problems?

  22. Tiff | 21/08/07

    No, she’s not obese or anything, but she IS overweight, regaurdless of what anyone says. If she keeps this weight gain going, she’s going to look like a big porker. I have to admit that she’s still cute and I love her hair, but she really should be hitting the gym. It’s nothing wrong with having the odd cheeseburger every now and then, but it seems like she chows down on them every night. I don’t think skinny would look right on her, but losing 10-15 lbs of fat and gaining muscle wouldn’t kill her either. I know her record label is going to make her lose it, hopefully she’ll do it in a healthy way.

  23. poops | 21/08/07

    She’s a fucking cow.

  24. MSgirl | 21/08/07

    Poor thing is looking bigger. It’s probably the stress of everything and some times you stop giving a crap. She does look like every week is a little heavier and heavier. She’s never going to be slim, but she’s going to have to start trying harder.

  25. Sara | 21/08/07

    I think she’s one of those stars that says she’s comfortable with her weight and isn’t. This sounds silly but I wear black only when I wear self-cautious. Thats what most ppl do. If she’s so comfortable with the weight, why did she choose to wear black in a publicized event.

    still, i love her and she’s better than the sticks.

  26. midnight | 21/08/07

    I see nothing that a couple of months with a personal trainer and sticking to a decent healthy menu could not fix… so why isn’t she doing anything????

  27. Maxx05 | 21/08/07

    The last thing she needed was a few more pounds to lose, and now she’s got them.

  28. lambman | 21/08/07

    I do think at this point she’s crossed over from “only big by hollywood standards” to actually being medically over-weight. I think if she just lost 20 lbs or so she’d be healthy and happy! She’s not naturally meant to be skinny, but she does seem being than what is ideal for health reasons

    I do think its an obnoxious double stardard though that people praise Jennifer Hudson so much saying “big is beautiful” type BS and then with Kelly they always act like she’ll die without gastric bypass or something

  29. meyouandus | 21/08/07

    I watched this on tv, and she didn’t look that large. I swear the first photo the dimensions make her look far more wide than she did on television.

    Actually when I was watching the show I recall thinking she looked slimmer… hm.

  30. daisii | 21/08/07

    *this was much on demand, not mtv live
    i atched this show last night, and i think these were just bad angless
    i actually remmber thinking that she lookedretty good(for her standards anyway)

  31. DaveW | 21/08/07

    Notice how she looks happy? And all those stars who diet and live in torture chambers laughably called training centers and gyms look like hell in most candid photos. That’s because women are supposed to be soft and curvy, that is what their body desires. And if you go against the wishes of body, it will, by various processes make its displeasure known. Except for the short hair Kelly looks great. You Tanorexides (fake tan, bleached hair and anorexic bodies) are just mad that she eats and you don’t and you believe it’s unfair for her to indulge herself while you suffer.

  32. daisii | 21/08/07

    lmaoo meyouandus, i just read your comment and we said basically the exact same htingg
    XD!

  33. katie | 21/08/07

    i dont know, at first i thought she was big but after meyouandus’s comment i noticed the people behind her. Their arms all look big too… hmmmm

  34. beautyqueen18 | 21/08/07

    She looks to be comfortable with herself. And her hair and makeup really does look beautiful. But she looks like a porker. Now her body looks extremely unproportional because her boobs are still small except now she has huge arms, thighs, and ass.

  35. Lenore | 21/08/07

    Part of being an entertainer means keeping up with your appearance because as sad as it may be, that is what sells more than talent. Yeah she’s a big girl now, but hopefully she’ll get a trainer and lose a few healthy pounds.

  36. Linda | 21/08/07

    that girl’s actually cute. She can pull it off - even if it gets to all the wrong places. ( Why can’t her boobs grow? Then she would look more proportioned)

  37. plastichearts | 21/08/07

    i think shes beautiful. but overweight.
    she should start healthy eating, and exercise etc,
    she’ll never be a twig girl. but she’d have such a gorgeous curvy figure if she lost some.

  38. Erica | 21/08/07

    She’s a little overweight, but not awful

  39. Erica | 21/08/07

    btw, I’d say bigger than US 10.. I’d say 12-14

  40. abby | 21/08/07

    she is fat like a roly poly housewife. i cant believe shes ignoring all her critics, who are actually giving her advice!

  41. barney | 21/08/07

    She is a fat ugly pig. She is an ugly person since she did not properly thank and acknowledge “American Idol” for everything that they did for her and her career.

  42. Ala | 21/08/07

    I think she is depressed about her record bombing and her fall out with music exec…

    She’s really hit a rough patch and Im sure she’s been taking it out on food.

    I hope she can pull out of this and get healthy!

  43. edie s. | 21/08/07

    sorry but she is FAT.

  44. Sloan | 21/08/07

    Love her hair. I hope all the weight discussion in the media doesn’t depress her. Go Kelly!

  45. jewel | 21/08/07

    she used to be quite thin, i wonder how she got so thin and then became so heavy. i dont think she looks good. i think she is overweight.

  46. laura | 21/08/07

    god she’s gained so much weight since her idol days. she looks like miss piggy

  47. bluepen2 | 21/08/07

    Yeah, she looks chubby.

  48. Sloan | 21/08/07

    “I do think its an obnoxious double stardard though that people praise Jennifer Hudson so much saying “big is beautiful” type BS and then with Kelly they always act like she’ll die without gastric bypass or something”

    I know, lambman. And even before UB’s America slimmed down people loved her. I love America too, but I guess if you’re a white girl with small breasts who gains weight, prepare to be hated on? What do others think?

  49. roxanna | 21/08/07

    holy CRAP she has gained even more! she is def overweight. damn.

  50. Erica | 21/08/07

    she was thin awhile ago because she was dieting

  51. Shoshana ! | 21/08/07

    I too have gained a couple of pounds. When things go wrong in my life, I retreat into food. Perhaps Kelly has this problem too. It takes time to turn it around and get back to where you used to be; 2 bad weeks undo 2 months of dieting and vice versa. She just needs a fresh burst of motivation and encouragement, and so do I!! : )

  52. GoshGollyMe | 21/08/07

    when your arm is as wide as your face..you are FAT.

    this is why she shouldnt of dieted down to a stick before. rebound pounds!

    she looks like she just had a baby yesterday or something. eat some salad and step away from the skittles!

  53. kitson | 21/08/07

    Does anyone else see a similarity between Kelly and Rachel Ray? They have quite similar round faces, tendencies towards chubbiness, and though talented, have irritating personalities.

  54. Karma | 21/08/07

    I dig the hair.
    As for her weight, you really can’t tell from these pictures since she’s sitting down.
    Maybe the stress of her album bombing has led to emotional eating. Who knows. But I don’t see this girl slimming down any time soon.

  55. erika926 | 21/08/07

    She is a cute, sweet, talented girl. BUT she is puffy and much heavier than she needs to be.

  56. Ally | 21/08/07

    Poor girl. She could be so pretty if she would just lose the weight!

  57. Francis | 21/08/07

    she’s fat! but so am i!!

  58. Heather | 21/08/07

    I think you could have picked any of the pictures of her NOT sitting down - which when you’re a little chubby THAT makes you look even chunkier. Yes, she’s gained some weight but you seem to pick the pictures that are the least flattering of the bunch and you set-up the post so everyone says she’s fat. The angle of the picture and how she’s posed definitely don’t help. While standing and walking into the studio, she doesn’t look as chunky as she does here.

  59. Sarah | 21/08/07

    I was watching MTV in the dentist chair yesterday and she did not look that big on TV.

  60. Frankie | 21/08/07

    she reminds me of myself when I was 15 I was just a little bit taller maybe tiny bit slimmer but had gained in the same areas(arms, thighs and hips)no big booty tho hehe

  61. pris | 21/08/07

    You know what…she carries her weight well. Some poeple would look horrible- but she manages to look cute and have weight on her bones She’s not obese but she’s no Sienna Miller either. She’s a pretty girl with a lot of talent.

  62. Michele | 21/08/07

    She looks good to me…like a normal woman.

  63. laura b | 21/08/07

    shes not fat. seriously. shes maybe carrying ten extra pounds. that is NOT “fat”. what pretend world is everyone here living in where a person who is maybe a size ten, is fat? shes not skinny, but really now? fat=obese. that she is not.

  64. Dee | 21/08/07

    Yes, she is probably a little overfat, but not obese and she is not huge. About a UK size 14/16 (US size 12/14) as someone said already.

    What is more important is that she exercises regularly and tries to eat healthily regardless of whether she loses weight or not.

    She is very pretty and looks happy.

  65. Holly | 21/08/07

    I think she looks unhealthy at that weight…seriously, like pudgy and weighe down. I feel bad for her, and I am not even a fan.

  66. Alyssa | 21/08/07

    KELLY CLARCKSON WILL NEVER BE A SIZE 2. EVERYONE GET OVER IT! MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES.

  67. Baby | 21/08/07

    I saw screencaps of her standing and she looks smaller.r

  68. Baby | 21/08/07

    I saw her on tv and she looks smaller than this. And I for one am happy that she isn’t a lollipop like everyone in hollywood.

  69. ali | 21/08/07

    *barf* what a hog

  70. alyssa | 21/08/07

    how tall is she? how much do you guys think she weighs?

  71. jessica | 21/08/07

    I watched her on this program on MTV Canada and she didnt look like this at all. These pics make her look, like 20 lbs heavier. They are either photoshopped or strangely and unfortunately unflattering. For reals, poor girl does NOT look like this!

  72. Melissa.Marissa | 21/08/07

    She looks slightly larger than normal not what I would call “fat” She looks like Kerry Katona from Atomic Kitten in these pics.
    Anyway I like her hair here & she is talented so she doesn’t need to rely on her body & boobs like some cough cough Jessica Simpson….

  73. any | 21/08/07

    a few…:S look at her arms… and i thought mine were chubby…..

  74. lolo | 21/08/07

    omg is this really? i love kelly clarkson b/c shes a good singer but in this industry it’s werid seeing someone w/ her fame be that size.
    she’s obviously bigger. i’ve never liked her thick legs and thugs but that’s probably gentics. she would def look better losing 10 pounds or so. P.S THE HAIR IS SO BAD. ROUND FACES NEED LONG HAIR. DUH!

  75. medchick | 21/08/07

    I agree with what Lambsman said earlier…it really doesn’t seem fair that Jennifer Hudson is praised for being overweight and Kelly Clarkson is called obese. Some of you all are just plain mean. We all obviously know that she is overweight…not obese but overweight and there is a BIG difference, medically, between the two. She represents an average, if not slightly below average, American woman as far as weight goes. It’s really sad that anorexic-skinny women are praised for beauty and considered good role models when Kelly, slightly overweight, is not. Both sides are UNHEALTHY!

  76. saviana | 21/08/07

    She looks revolting. If your friend looked like this, you’d suggest she lose weight. I was discussing this with my mom, and I honestly believe that these people are blessed to be in the industry they are in doing what they love while most people are stuck in 9 to 5 jobs they hate. And part of the job that comes along with being famous is to look good - that’s it, deal with it, get over it. These people are paid millions and have access to fitness trainers, dieticians, etc etc. They have access to things so many of us don’t, so I don’t wanna hear any wah wah on Kelly Clarkson’s end for not losing weight or being fat. She’s crossed the line from “curvy” to “fat” and I don’t think it’s unreasonable of the world, who has to watch her on tv, to want her to be healthy, forget about looking GOOD.

    And on a totally separate note, you’d think someone who’s in the public eye 24/7 would have more respect for themselves and maintain a little self-control in order to get into a healthy place. Screw that, not just famous people, all overweight people. She sure as hell doesn’t get a pity party from me.

  77. saviana | 21/08/07

    Also, no offense, but I’m really sick of these people comparing Kelly Clarkson to the “average woman” in the US. And saying she’s below average or average or whatever. The “average woman” in the US is overweight… what is the average size again, 12? That’s not healthy unless you’re all 5′10. Just because “everyone” is unhealthy doesn’t make it an acceptable bar to hold people against. I’m sorry but the last thing in the world I’d want is to be compared to the average American woman. Take a nice trip to middle America and tell me if you think that’s a compliment.

  78. Ruby | 21/08/07

    I feel really bad for her. Sometimes extra weight suites women but with her it doesnt look right because its all in her arms and thats the worst place to have excess fat.

    But would you rather look like her or Jenna Jameson? I’m curious. To be dead honest I secretly would prefer Jenna’s body disgusting as it is.

  79. Gen | 21/08/07

    love her she is beautiful She is always smilling she is great a what she does no she is not a size zero and she never will be who care’s ….

  80. apricotmuffins | 21/08/07

    I bet she’s happy and healthy at this weight, so why the hell should she loose any? to please others? I think she looks lovely.

    Stop being so scared of any sign of fat. You might be happier and healthier too.

  81. 2perfect | 21/08/07

    She absolutely DID NOT look like that on the program. The angle of that first picture is of the devil…she looks, at the very least, 20 lbs heavier than she actually is.

    Note to self: Never allow anyone to photograph me from above while I’m sitting down.

  82. tim jones | 21/08/07

    god she is so hot. she could be 30 pounds heavier and I would only find her hotter.

  83. aura | 21/08/07

    She is absolutely gorgeous… however, for health issues she should take care of her weight and lose some pounds… she will never be a size 0 or 2, but at least 7!!

  84. Rian | 21/08/07

    Saviana, I have to agree with most of what you said. (Except for the part of Kelly crossing into “fat” territory. I don’t think she is fat, just overweight.) And yes, it’s a shame - but true - that the “average” American woman is slightly overweight, and we consider that to be “normal”. And I personally hate that just because some women like to be very slim or thin, they are automatically considered “unhealthy” or “eating disordered”.

    Our perception has been skewed by both the Hollywood skinny trend AND the American obesity epidemic. Unfortunately, I don’t see that changing anytime soon…

  85. cokate | 21/08/07

    how strange, my comments didn’t show up even when I say good things about the celebs. Oh well, yes kelly gained a few more.

  86. Joelle | 21/08/07

    She looks awful. She would look more attractive if she lost some weight.

    Don’t get me started on her health. It must be exhausting for her to carry that extra weight. Have you carried a 10lb, 15lb, or 20lb dumb bell around for an extended amount of time? It’s very tiring. Imagine carrying that extra weight 24 hours, 7 days a week. Geez.

  87. purpleplague | 21/08/07

    Wow…I think she has crossed the line. She can’t be healthy at that weight.

  88. Tracylove | 21/08/07

    People need to stop saying she’s normal just because she isn’t skinny like most of Hollywood. She’s VERY fat, and it looks terrible on her.

  89. jen | 21/08/07

    shes huge. but talented no matter what. and her face doesnt look huge, no double chin. as long as shes happy

  90. tim jones | 21/08/07

    Joelle,

    “It must be exhausting for her to carry that extra weight. Have you carried a 10lb, 15lb, or 20lb dumb bell around for an extended amount of time? It’s very tiring. Imagine carrying that extra weight 24 hours, 7 days a week. Geez.”

    Your dumbbell comparison only works if the weight is very concentrated like a tumor. A 20lb tumor on your arm, yes tiring. 20lbs distributed among your arms, thighs, hips, calves, stomach, and back not so much.

  91. chuck | 21/08/07

    I think she’s incredibly hot!

  92. obsessmuch? | 21/08/07

    yea. she’s HUGE!!

  93. medchick | 21/08/07

    I just wanted to clarify that my earlier comment about her being “average or below average” was referring to the fact that a typical American woman is her size if not a little heavier…I am in no way whatsoever saying that this is a HEALTHY weight because it isn’t. The point I was trying to make is that you have two extremes of weight and healthwise there is little difference in being underweight and slightly overweight. She is NOT obese and as a lot of you that watched the show have pointed out, these pics are not a true representation of what she looks like.

  94. medchick | 21/08/07

    …and I guess that I hate it that because some women prefer to be a little thick they are automatically considered “fat”, “obese” and “unhealthy”…

  95. laura b | 21/08/07

    “She looks revolting. If your friend looked like this, you’d suggest she lose weight. ”

    are you serious?

  96. Shannon | 21/08/07

    This is by far the fattest she has ever been. Her arms are disgusting looking. Looks aside she is obviously above normal BMI which is unhealthy. She is probably eating out of some type of depression/anxiety. Maybe because she told the wrong person off?

  97. Mike | 21/08/07

    kelly clarkson is so hott
    a little chunky right now, but still so hott

  98. D | 21/08/07

    OH DAMN! she got fat!

  99. Who? | 21/08/07

    Dave W, well done. Great response. I want to kiss you.

  100. Rian | 21/08/07

    DaveW, you said: “That’s because women are supposed to be soft and curvy, that is what their body desires. And if you go against the wishes of body, it will, by various processes make its displeasure known.”

    Exactly how “soft and curvy” are you talking? Feminine curves are one thing, rolls of fat and bulge are another. Can you be more specific?

  101. CJ | 21/08/07

    She is fine..I’m sure she’ll lose it when she tours and whatever..But I’m actually glad to see someone with a weight but this is probably a tad too much.

  102. FAWN | 21/08/07

    to whoever said she is ” soft and curvy”… who wants to be soft???
    she OBESE, FAT whatever you want to call it .
    she really needs to lose alot of weight, she wanted to be a singer/pop idol and part of the job is to keep up a good appearance. not become sloppy and fat

  103. FAWN | 21/08/07

    and to everyone who says this is weight is ” normal”? that is precisely why america has a problem with obesity. we think “oh that 250 pound woman isnt fat, she has womanly curves” stop making up excuses!

  104. Ellie | 21/08/07

    She is NOT obese at all. She probably is a bit overweight, but not obese by any stretch. She could lose some weight and get on a healthy lifestyle, but give the girl a break. She is constantly hounded because of her weight and the fact that she doesn’t weigh 100 pounds. Either way, she does still look good, and the hair is marvelous.

  105. Ashly | 21/08/07

    eh she is big but i wouldn’t call her obese.

  106. Mango | 22/08/07

    Saviana, you said what’s been on my mind all along! Glad to know common sense still exists.

  107. Joelle | 22/08/07

    Tim Jones, I’ve lost over 15lbs to be the weight I am now. There is a big difference, especially on my knees and ankles. Also, now that I’m lighter, and my muscles are conditioned, my posture has improved, and I have no lower back aches.

  108. saviana | 22/08/07

    Haha, glad I could be of service, Mango ;)

    And thanks, Rian. I know she’s not “fat” per se, I just hate how every year it seems the “average size of a healthy woman” seems to go up and we’re supposed to “accept and love our curves”. And as you said, curves are one thing, but fat rolls are quite another and I just don’t want ANOTHER thing for Americans to make excuses for themselves for.

    And Laura b, yes I am serious. This is not a healthy weight, and if one of my friends gained weight to this extent, I’d suggest working out or changing her diet. For the sake of her health if anything.

  109. Jasmine | 22/08/07

    FAWN - completely agree.

  110. laura b | 22/08/07

    i think its a bit ignorant to assume people that are size 12 are all unhealthy if they aren’t 5ft10.

  111. DaveW | 22/08/07

    Follow the link to see what I mean. Look at these spectacular beauties and tell me in all sincerity that the Tanorxides look as good or better.

    I applaud Kelly Clarkson for not following the Hollywood trend of starving themselves to look “scary skinny.” She said in an interview after her American Idol win that she will never be thin. She has kept her word. If she is happy with the way she is, then I think it’s great! Also, have you all checked out this new blog that I found - moviestarfashion.blogspot.com? It covers almost all the same weight stories in this website but faster. It focused on Kelly Clarkson last week.

  113. bella | 22/08/07

    i think she’s still pretty but omg. She let herself go though…I’m actually surprised. She lost weight and now all her hard is completely nonexistent…. its a shame.

  114. m. | 22/08/07

    wow.. she is so fat.. it isn’t healty anymore

  115. Jojo | 22/08/07

    I just don’t understand how she can let herself go like that. Being in the spotlight all the time must affect her in some way. Plus, she should have advisers and people around her who can help her realize….. Right??

  116. Me111 | 22/08/07

    SHE IS SO UGLY!!!!

  117. mary-elise | 22/08/07

    She is not in the “obese” category of the bmi calculator pro-ana people, but she is not in the “healthy” category either she is overweight and for the people who say that she is perfectly “healthy” she is not and if she continues down this road of unhealthy eating and obviously very little if any exercise then she will become obese. I cannot believe the extremes of peoples opinions on here, the point of the bmi calculator is that you need to be in the “healthy” category not anorexic, and not overweight. You also need some muscle tone and she does not have any at all, yes girls you do need some muscle you cannot be a bag of bones or a blob, because neither looks attractive.

  118. Elle | 22/08/07

    Better than being a fucking bitch Poops.

  119. tim jones | 22/08/07

    I don’t care what the critics say, I would rather have my gf look like this than anything else Hollywood has to offer. She is gorgeous. There is nothing like a confident curvy and thick woman.

  120. Danielle | 22/08/07

    To people calling her “huge”, “revolting”, “disgusting” and so on, you’re all sick in the head, and there is no need for me to elaborate on why that is.

    However, I will say that any weight gain will become apparent for someone who is built like Kelly. The fact that she has small breasts and a small torso sees any weight she does gain settle in places like her arms, booty and thighs. Similarly, she is Greek, thus, mediterranean. Genetically, the arms of mediterranean women are never going to be small, like western girls. Toned, perhaps (due to exercise), but never small. In general mediterranean women’s build sees us gaining weight in areas different to western women. We’re not going to get a huge bloated stomach, instead we’re far more likely to get bigger arms, bigger breats, or a bigger bottom half.

    There are a lot more factors to consider than just saying “oh yeah, she’s huge”.
    Huge according to who?

    Furthermore, gaining a few has not made her any less talented in her field, and she hasn’t lost her personality, which is a lot more than any of you can say for other female celebrities who lack both.

    Oh, and also:
    “She looks revolting. If your friend looked like this, you’d suggest she lose weight. ”

    - No i wouldn’t, because firstly, it would be uncalled for and also i’m not an insensitive, rude asshole.

  121. apricotmuffins | 22/08/07

    once again, my main gripe is that those women who want to be slim or thin on here are being so self righteous and think they know everything about health and lifestyle. It sickens me. To a lot of you, a woman CANT want to be less than skinny, its a travesty to you. Thats what i hate. People have the right to control their bodies how they wish, but you have no right to look down on others if they break out of your mould of ‘ideal’. Because honey, your ideal is certainly not the most common one, nor the best one.

    If you enjoy excercise and eating healthy, then fine. But if you dont, making it a very strong factor in your life is miserable. Its like trying to like computers when all you really want to do is read a book. Trying to like art and craft when all you really want to do is solve mathematic equations.

    catch my drift? its not for everyone. Yes a certain level of everyday activity and generally eating healthily is very good for you and no doubt about that, but doing just that DOES NOT get you amazing results in weight loss. Kelly clarkson may be perfectly healthy in normal terms, but not super fit. Its not a crime and it shouldnt be a standard that everyone aspires to. Shes a freaking SINGER, not a model, not an athlete. She doesnt need to be perfectly thin.

  122. Anchy | 22/08/07

    Yes…she has gained weight…and i’m not saying that she’s fat…she’s overweight.
    Maybe she has BMI like 26-ish…but i’m not sure.
    That’s not healthy and she must at least eat more salads and fruit than bread,donughts,etc.
    And I agree with ones who say that the part of the job that comes along with being famous is to look good.

  123. TheSteph | 22/08/07

    Those pictures are very unflattering. But yes, she does look like she has gained some more. I think the way she gains is just a bit… unfortunate. It all seems to go to the arms, belly and thighs. She’s still cute, though

  124. bianca | 22/08/07

    she’d look a whole lot better if she sat up straight. i like that she’s got little boobs, it suits her and its refreshing in this plastic fantastic world

  125. bells | 22/08/07

    I think she looked better in her SUBG days. She wasnt scary skinny back then either but at least she looked healthy. I also agree with Saviana and Rian.

  126. joe | 22/08/07

    she definatly gained more weight i think shes at a point know where she just dosent give a care what people say and is staying heavy. i wouldnt call her fat but she has gotten really chuby.

  127. joe | 22/08/07

    shes beginning to look alot like charlotte church.

  128. tutu | 22/08/07

    ok, I keep it short: she will explose someday…

  129. S.V. | 22/08/07

    Skinny is NOT necessarily healthy! I am thin and I felt so much stronger when I was bigger.She has a very beautiful face, most celebrities try to draw attention from their boring face by starving themselves

  130. 2perfect | 22/08/07

    To all of you budding doctors here…a “healthy” BMI (an index that is a dubious indicator of health at best) is not the measurement by which the medical profession quantifies morbidity. Sure, if you are a personal trainer, the BMI might offer you a simple (and scary) way to get your clients to perform, but it’s simply not an accurate portrayal of general well-being.

    If her BP is within normal limits, her bloodsugar is stable, her triglycerides are low, her hormonal levels are normal, and so on and so forth…then she is, most likely, healthy. And many people carry extra weight and still fall easily within the realm of “healthy”.

  131. Keira | 22/08/07

    o.m.g! horrible!

  132. Anna | 22/08/07

    she has obviously put on a few more, but she is a cute girl. she does look happy in these pics

  133. Ashley | 22/08/07

    She looks beautiful. She is a normal girl, and she has always said that she will not follow the standards of hollywood

  134. Annika | 22/08/07

    She’s heavier, but maybe she just doesn’t care about it (not every celebrity is obsessed with being near-skeletal). She looks happy, and maybe she truly is.

  135. MiamiGirl | 22/08/07

    blah blah blah forget about feeling good about yourself and being happy the way you are, THIS is getting out of hand, she looks HORRIBLE this fat. Im sorry! this is not looking healthy or normal anymore……. EEEK!

  136. Kim | 22/08/07

    EW! If i was that fat i would hide forever and work out till i get lighter. Does she not know what she looks like?! ITS SICK!

  137. Manda | 22/08/07

    Who Cares? She is happy, successful, not anorexic… She’s is awesome and living life.

  138. Manda | 22/08/07

    Who Cares? She is happy, successful, NOT anorexic… She is living life!

  139. Kim | 22/08/07

    The only people who must think she looks good as those who are the same size as that or larger.

  140. emma | 22/08/07

    Kelly isn’t obese or anything, but you all have to admit that she doesn’t look healthy. She may look normal and average, but it’s not healthy. I like that she seems comfortable with herself, but she doesn’t seem to take care of her body. She eats what she wants and while that makes her a good role model, it’s not healthy. Of course its great to have a cheeseburger now and then but you can still stay healthy. Kelly isn’t at a healthy body weight and if she keeps up what she’s doing in 10-20 years, she could be seriously overweight.

  141. laura b | 22/08/07
  142. Girly Girl | 22/08/07

    What I don’t get is why people are praising her for “not being a stick.” There is a huge gap between being a stick and being overweight - it’s called being at a normal, healthy weight. I think we are desensitized from seeing so many overweight Americans everywhere. They are unhealthy, and so is Kelly.

  143. Karma | 22/08/07

    Whoa- Danielle- speak for yourself. I am 100% Greek and have never had “big arms” whether I have been active or not. Everyone is different. Yes, I am pear shaped and gain in my bottom half, but I think your generalization is a bit off.

  144. tim jones | 22/08/07

    I can’t get over how great she looks. She is undoubtedly beautiful and exudes a sensuality. It is a very warm, soft, and feminine sensuality. Whatever weight she did gained has only made her more beautiful in my eyes. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

  145. Mike | 22/08/07

    dang, you girls are caddy

  146. tim jones | 22/08/07

    *gain

  147. Abby | 22/08/07

    Apricotmuffins and Danielle:

    Women with brains!

    How refreshing to see people thinking for themselves, and not being brainwashed by what this twisted and sick society calls “Healthy”.

    **

    You know, any amount of HEALTHY eating and exercising will not abolish every ounce of fat on a body, and it will NOT make you look stick thin! Do you know what will (As if you dont all ready know!): STARVING YOURSELF!

    And do you know what else? SURGERY.

    So.. STARVING + SURGERY = HEALTHY / SUCCESSFUL / HAPPY in retarded minds.

    Get a grip and get a life people!

  148. Dee | 22/08/07

    Saviana if everyone was a healthy weight, a size 12/14 (US) would still probably be at the upper end of ‘accceptable’. It may not be ‘average’ size, but that doesn’t mean it would be ‘unhealthy’. I know a woman’s waist should not measure over 32 inches and that would make a size 14 waist the cut off point.

    However, some woman have larger frames than others, ie large rib cage, broad shoulders, wide pelvis, etc, and that should be taken into account.

    And yes a woman that is shorter than 5ft10 can wear a size 12 and be perfectly healthy. Body fat percentage and waist measurement are the important measures of health in terms of body fatness.

  149. Dee | 22/08/07

    I guess what I’m saying is that a woman’s health is not measured by her clothes size, but more important factors such as body fat and waist circumference.

  150. causethisiswhyi'mhot | 22/08/07

    she seriously needs to sort her weight out…she clearly has hand to mouth syndrome

  151. tim jones | 22/08/07

    causethisiswhyi’mhot,

    “she seriously needs to sort her weight out…she clearly has hand to mouth syndrome”

    I think it may be some sort of a communicable disease. The compulsions are at the root, but the effected and overt behavior seems to differ. Where as Kelly’s seem to be hand to mouth syndrome, I am afflicted with hand to wiener ( forgive the euphemism, the censor forbids the anatomically correct designation) syndrome. It seems I caught it only recently after viewing these pics. Beware.

  152. Rocky | 22/08/07

    I really just think she needs to work out???
    And prob. lose about 10 pounds. She’s pretty round.
    And I noticed a belly roll…

  153. Shannon | 22/08/07

    Tim Jones you make me smile and feel good! Im 5′4 and 129 size 8. I got down to 110 a size 4 and my hubby HATED it! He said I lost my boobs and butt. All these comments u made make realize today I am sexy in his eyes. Sounds corny but hey its true!

  154. Megan | 22/08/07

    FAT

  155. Anniston | 22/08/07

    Chubba Wubba

  156. Persephone | 22/08/07

    I am getting bored with the Kely Clarkson posts. Although the comments are slightly amusing.

    She is so polarizing. I think she is fat, but I don’t think she has gained any weight. It is the angle that the pictures were taken at that makes her look bigger in the pictures.

  157. Molly | 22/08/07

    IT’S A POLAR BEAR!

    Wait. No. It’s Kelly Clarkson.

  158. mimi | 22/08/07

    i’ll never understand the mentality that because a high percentage of the population is overweight it is not a big deal to be overweight. what’s next? killing? drunk driving? what’s the big deal, a igh percentage of the population is doing it? the concept is ridiculous. being overweight is not healthy. and people who say “i’m find with being fat” don’t freakin’ mean it, they’re putting a strong face to hide the embarassment when their butt doesn’t fit on a chair or nothing they wear fits right. we haven’t even touched on the matter of health/energy/mood when you’re healthy and feel good about yourself! she doesn’t need to be a size 2, but does she have to be short and a size 14? there is such thing as balance, you know…

  159. schuk | 22/08/07

    I really do not want to be mean, and I think that her face is very very beautiful, but this girl is not “curvy”. Her chest is so flat, I guess her abdominal girth is larger than her breast. And that´s not curvy, that´s just overweight… Poor girl, she would be so gorgeous if she looses some pounds…

  160. darktuner18 | 22/08/07

    wow! so fat ! she’s so heavy or huge like you want ! I think that in a few month she will be obese ! it remember me alicia keys in 2005 and 2006 when she put on a huge among ton of weight
    she went from to obese ! it was impressionant

  161. mimi | 22/08/07

    she also owns the most unflattering wardrobe for her body type, and that does her a terrible disservice. if she were wearing 3/4 length sleeves and A-line skirts or wide leg pants with heels she would look taller/thinner/leaner. tight clothing only accentuates every nook and cranny.
    i’m not being mean, just making some observations that would help her with the illusion of being thinner.

  162. saviana | 22/08/07

    Dee, I agree with you that it’s health as opposed to clothing size, but you can see by these pictures that her clothing size accurately represents her fat, not muscle.

    Girly Girl, I completely agree with you.

    And for anyone who says I’m an “asshole” for suggesting to a friend that she go on a diet for her own sake is completely too PC. If someone is a friend of mine, we can be honest enough with each other to the point where I’d a) hope she’d have enough respect for her own body to diet and b) wouldn’t take offense if I cared enough about her to wonder why she was suddenly gaining weight. We don’t all have to be so f*cking PC all the time… what good does it do anybody? It would be different if Kelly has always been at this weight, then I’d say fine okay maybe she is meant to be like this. But she’s not, she’s gained a considerable amount, and that’s just never healthy.

    There is a middle ground here, people. You don’t need to be anorexic, but you don’t need to look like this. Let’s not use the word “voluptuous” improperly to make excuses for lazy people in the spotlight.

  163. Sofie | 22/08/07

    I am typically defensive of the women on here we tend to call fat that are not… however, while I don’t think Kelly is fat per say, I do think she looks unhealthy and I thought her whole point of not starving was to show that some women in hollywood are healthy, but being overweight is not healthy either. I don’t know what her BMI is but I would bet it is over what it should be.

  164. jackie | 22/08/07

    yes, she has gained a few pounds..but you guys don’t have to be so mean about it…its not like she’s hella fat or obese. this is what’s wrond with society..you guys act like everyone needs to be hecka skinny and that you’re hella perfect. give her a break!

  165. Burju | 22/08/07

    Wow, she looks awful. First she was just chubby, but now she’s more on the F-A-T side. I get really mad at celebrities who eat carelessly and don’t take care of their bodies - if you’re a celebrity you have to at least take on some responsibility for your health and appearance, especially if you have people talking about your weight all the time, don’t you think it’s time to drop the twinkies and exercise a little?

  166. beth | 22/08/07

    saviana, that’s pretty shallow that you spend that much time on justifying the fact that you want your friends to look a certain way. Either that, or you’re pretty young. Us adults have fat friends, skinny friends, average friends, and friends that gain weight sometimes because we’re eating out a lot. What my friends eat and how they look is their business and nobody else’s.

  167. cossey | 22/08/07

    There’s enough there to make two good-sized Kellys!

  168. Swanhilda | 22/08/07

    I’m pretty sure Kelly is aware of her size. I’d also be willing to bet that she’s been binge eating, a result of diet restriction. This is what happens to people who go hungry dieting. It is called “make-up eating.” It is what happened when you notice a celebrity has really put on a lot of weight after being thin. Ask Janet Jackson about this, or Oprah, or Kirstie Alley…….

  169. JR | 22/08/07

    OMG! Quick, someone notify the authorities…a fat girl swallowed Kelly Clarkson…oh, wait…that IS Kelly Clarkson. Holy crap…what happened? Poor Kelly!

  170. mitze | 22/08/07

    i think she looks good, not everyone can wear weight and look great!

  171. TJ | 22/08/07

    according to my calculations shes at the boundary between normal and overweight. Not really one or the other so much.

  172. Most Wanted | 22/08/07

    no thank you

  173. Shannon (the third one to post) | 22/08/07

    They took these pictures at a horrible angle, look at them because she looks much smaller in the second than she does in the first! Yes, she did gain weight, but she could look a lot worse, she looks great to me.

    And someone said that one would have to be her size or bigger to say that she looks great, and yes, I am a 12, but I am a dancer so I have class 5 days a week (and if anyone starts making generalizations about dancers having to be skinny, just shut up now) and I go to the gym, so you can be a 12 and be healthy! I am very happy to see someone like her in the recording industry because its nice to see someone my size, and not super skinny.

    Stop relying on the BMI chart, that thing is utter and complete bs, no medical professional goes by it.

  174. rae | 22/08/07

    it seems like all her weight goes into her limbs.
    and it makes her look bigger than she is. her face/middle don’t look fat, espeically in proportion to her arms and what you can see of her legs.

  175. Ella | 22/08/07

    How much do you guys think she weighs (she’s about 5′3″)

    she looks like she put on about 10 lbs since i last saw a picture of her.. i think if she lost like 20 lbs she would be healthy but still curvy… i think she should get a nutritionist and/ or therapist so she can stop fluctuating her weight and stay at a comfortable one.

  176. Jodi | 22/08/07

    Shannon, I find it curious that you needed tim jones’ comments to make you feel good about yourself, when your husband is the one who told you, before, that you were more appealing to him when you were a little heavier.

    I know I should have something to say about Kelly Clarkson, or start rattling off blatherskite about “BMI” and “body fat percentage” and “obesity in this country”, but, nah, I’m not going to weigh in. :-)

  177. DaveW | 22/08/07

    Some of these snipes and jokes at this woman’s weight “problem” are so original, funny, and witty. I love how you ana’s say “she eats whatever she wants” Wow, she’s doing something that brings her joy, how dare she. And the reason she doesn’t have a trainer is because she probably doesn’t want to give her money to have some sadistic meathead.

  178. The Craigster | 22/08/07

    I want to start by saying that I think Kelly Clarkson is so fine. She is so awesome, –inside out.
    I can’t believe all the mean and incredibly superficial people! It is funny all the people standing up for a corporate machine–American Idol. I mean I love AI, but who really cares if she doesn’t want to devote her entire life and career to them. She is a big component to why AI is so big today and they are why she was discovered when she was. I mean you don’t see AI knocking on Ruben’s door, do you? No one is saying how oh they owe him. It is ludacris to think that Kelly should do the same to them.

  179. The Craigster | 22/08/07

    Some one wrote that you only where black when you are not entirely secure or comfortable. Well, I wear black because I like it and it is a good shade on me. And, if Kelly is wearing because she isn’t 100 percent okay with herself than so what? Would you say that someone wearing a one-piece or shorts at the beach isn’t happy with themselves because they are not wearing a bikini? Maybe they are not perfect, accept, are happy with it, and have a life to live outside the gym and salads.
    And, Kim your comment I deem is the most ignorant. I am a size 2, possibly smaller than Kelly Clarkson. But even, if I was bigger–so what! Oh yeah, I guess only overweight people could possibly find Kelly Clarkson attractive or healthy.

  180. The Craigster | 22/08/07

    I support strong women. It is interesting how many women are threatened by her because she is not a size 0 or hates herself or takes direction of her career. I suppose it would have been better her staying in the same path of so many women before her that’s work is forgotten because it didn’t mean anything. Britney Spears is the main lady that comes to mind. She let others control her life and career, and in the meantime went crazy, had a nervous breakdown.

  181. joe | 22/08/07

    kelly is gorgeous and she is an awesome singer. there is nothing wrong with a girl with some meat on the bones. i would rather be with a soft curvy girl like kelly than some stick figure. also she has the best ass in the world.

  182. whatever | 22/08/07

    wow you all need to relax

  183. Dan | 23/08/07

    shes hot! I think women look happier a little chubby and grabable. I mean when you get in bed do u want abs or a pillow? In other ages, and in my mind, fat is where its at!

  184. schuk | 23/08/07

    But I have to say again: Her face is sooo pretty !

  185. Lisa | 23/08/07

    She did.
    But honestly i think it looks good on her! She’s cute (:

  186. dani | 23/08/07

    She looks perfectly fine and normal. She is the one celebrity I can rely on to not go bone showing body. She should stay the way she is ( if she is fine w/ herself) and not fall under the super thin spell. Go Miss Clarkson!

  187. couturelove | 23/08/07

    She is rediculous. She goes around saying how comfortable with her body she is now and yahta yahta, but then when she does cover shoots or whatever else she does, her body gets photoshopped. In my perspective, if a celebrity was really comfortable with their appoearence, they would not let photoshopping go to extremes.

  188. wannabe | 23/08/07

    how tall is she again?

    if she was tall (like me), she’d be like… size 18. then again, i’m freakishly tall. i don’t know… she just looks unhealthy.

  189. vane | 23/08/07

    OMG!! WATCH OUT!!!…….. SHE’S GOING TO EXPLODE!!!!

  190. TJ | 23/08/07

    @couturelove

    Celebrities have nothing to do with what’s done to their bodies on magazines, and because of this, several have sued magazines over photoshopping before. Kelly probably doesn’t want to have to deal with the hassle and focus that a lawsuit would bring so she just accepts that they’ll do what they will and lives with it.

  191. Erica | 24/08/07

    to the craigster - if you are a size 2, you are definitely smaller than Kelly. lol.

  192. Olivia | 24/08/07

    She looks horrible!!!

  193. Danielle | 24/08/07

    @ Saviana

    It’s not about political correctness. My, or your, or whoevers friend’s are capable of looking into a mirror. And they know what they see. If they’re under stress, for example, and they put on weight they can see that and they know the cause. It’s pretty lame to assume that you, or me, or whoever telling them would illuminate them.

    In fact, my best friend is a big girl and she has been since i’ve known her…I couldn’t even fathom saying “I’m sick of all this political correctness, go on a diet please, for my sake if not yours”. Because even if that’s not what you mean by saying what you’re saying, that’s entirely what it implies.

    I support my best friend as she is, and would support her if she ever decided to lose weight. That’s what my duty, as a friend, is. Who am I to suggest lifestyle changes to anybody. As if, by weighing less than her, I have all the answers….

    Now go and look again at the pictures of Kelly and see if your advice to your friend that size would be entirely necessary. If it is, then we’ll agree to disagree.

  194. augusta | 24/08/07

    she is beautiful. I’ll bet more then half the girls that made fun of kelly are OBESE!!!! mwa ha ha! I think kelly looks normal and happy.

  195. Shane | 25/08/07

    she’s totally hot! look at that smile. geez i’d kill to look like her, and i speak as a girl below normal bmi for her weight and height.

  196. Tony | 25/08/07

    Why don’t you go and eat another cheeseburger and a whole 20 lb. turkey you fat ass Kelly. Not only are you overrated as a singer but you are one big fat ass.
    Hey Tucker have you purchased your ticket yet for Clarkson’s famous Summer Tour yet? LOL
    Since you’re SO in love her I figured that you did although THERE IS NO MORE CONCERT TOUR HAPPENING. LOL

  197. Becky | 25/08/07

    I think she looks ok, really happy and healthy

    But something is annoying me…if skinny people say “Let us be skinny”, then why can’t it be the same for people who are overweight?

    Plus, she’s a singer, not a model or a ballerina, where skinny-ness is a must. Her voice, not her body-image, is what really counts.

    Go Kelly!

    wow..she definitley gained more than a few pounds…she has a cute face but i wouldnt kill her if she lost about 15 lbs….then i’ll buy one of her cds.

  199. joe | 26/08/07

    she is so much bigger now than she was before i dont know whats up with her she just keeps gaining weight the place u see it most is in her face and arms ans ass

  200. bella | 26/08/07

    I’m sorry but she’s very fat. I don’t understand who think that she’s normal,she’s fat and probably her BMI confirmed this

  201. Tony | 28/08/07

    Yeah Bella. She’s VERY fat. Could y’all believe that Kelly Clarkson was voted #96 as the world’s Sexiest Women in the World? LOL. I cannot belive that at all. A fatty like her being voted as one of the top 100 in the world? Yeah right. Give me a f–king break.

  202. Tony | 28/08/07

    Yeah Bella. I agree. What a fat cow. I still cannot believe that Kelly Clarkson was #96 out of 100 as the Sexiest Women in the World. Give me a f–king break. LOL. The woman is gross.

    I think she looks WAY WAY overweight for her height ! She definitely needs to take on some exercising and it wouldn’t hurt if she would watch what she eats either!

  205. joe | 2/09/07

    she is not way way over weight she has pet ona lot of weight but in no way is she over weight shes just pudgy thats all u only see the weight gain in her arms, face, and ass but other than that shes pretty good looking i thingk

  206. Taylor | 8/09/07

    Damn, she looks fat right here. Especially in the first.

    I’ll admit, before this, I didn’t think she was fat at all. Her curves were perfectly fine. They certainly looked better than all the stick-thin ladies.

    But here, woah. She definitely needs to lose some. Not healthy.

  207. Fruits and Veggies | 8/09/07

    look at her thighs
    that is gross
    If in he dictionary they had a picture of “Thunder thighs” or “Letting yourself go” This picture would be there

  208. Mr.O | 2/10/07

    She’s still hot I still love her she just…obese. I like it though, the more weight she gains the more I like her, BLOW THE BELLY KELLY!

    The angle of the pictures that were taken of here also make her look bigger than she really is cuz in other pictures i have seen of her from the same day just level with her she looks a lot smaller.
