Wow – she has definitely gained some significant weight!
Tags: belly, casual, Kelly Clarkson, overweight, upper arms, weight gain
she becam a really big girl. thats all i can say. and she is dressingf very unflattering.
first
oh, and like….first ?
sorry had to say it
couple more pounds and she’ll be clinically obese
OMG!! I am speechless! She has gained like crazy!!! How does one let themself get that big!? You’d think you would realize at a certain point how unhealthy that is!
And we all thought Jessica put on weight lol. This is what real weight gain looks like!! :0
Those jeans are way too tight on her…they look like they may have fit her 20 lbs. ago!
I´m waiting for all the “leave her alone, she´s just a curvy girl” comments… that´s def NOT curvy
This isn’t even funny….how did she let herself get to that? She looks like a pig.
Kelly is a big fat chunkster. Makes Jessica Simpson look like a supermodel…moderation :-\
Ooooh, I JUST saw these on dlisted. I feel bad for her. But yeah, she’s huge.
this is genetic, i don’t think she can help it, she is a big girl.
um WOW. How did she end up like this?! She looked good in her recent music videos….and yeah the sequined clothes are just making the whole situation worse. Poor Kelly!
Is she Pregnant???
She has to be clinically obese now….I wonder if she has a binge-eating problem.
she doesn´t even look healthy anymore… like before!
well, she could do better, she can lose I am sure….She’s got talent and nothing else
Lord Jesus, she has gained a lot! Many many pounds… I hope she’s happy (I would definitely not be).
Is she………….PREGNANT!?!?
Look at her stomach.
That’s sad. Everyone knows that one of the main causes to her problems with eating is the publicity, all the nasty comments she gets from the media. Clearly a profession under the public eye isn’t for everybody. She should take a break and take cae of herself.
feel sorry for her
Poor girl, I kind of feel bad for her, cause that is NOT beautiful. She was so pretty once! She needs to lose weight.
This is not “curvy”. Curvy implies somebody who is at a healthy weight range with a waist, aka the hour glass figure.
Kelly is chunky.
That top accentuates her pear shape even more.
woah!! fatty!!1 omg! her arms! sorry 4 being harsh but she used to be in shape!!
Oh goodness. That is not a healthy weight. She had no muscle tone at all. She needs to get a handle on this before it gets worse.
Yikes, she’s gross
Wow!Poor girl.
woah, that is a big weight gain, she still has a really beautiful face, but the sudden dramatic gain is worrying, it’s such a vast amount!!
By the looks of it she’s obese and looks like a swain :O
Very unflattering outfit , I don’t know what she sees in the mirror but certainly not what she looks like. She used to be so pretty and thin and I do not understand how you can get that obese.
OH
MY
GOD.
that’s really unfortunate. i remember she used to have an eating disorder in her past, but this is a whole other eating disorder, i’d say.
Big girl. I do sympathise with her though, as she is going to get a lot of stick for it.
I love Kelly. She has an amazing voice and a fun personality for sure, but she is looking unhealthy…
I dont like pointing out people’s weight issues, but she should really watch because she could develop problems from being overweight. I really think she needs to step back and take care of herself.
I think she is awesome otherwise, but I am just worrying because she does not look anywhere near healthy…She looked skinner in here recent video’s and performances I saw a few weeks ago… ??
holy cow … no pun intended.
Chubby, chunky, plump or fat, a kelly clarkson by any other name would be just as fucking* hot. She is gorgeous.
She looks at least 50 pounds bigger than her American Idol days. She was never a tiny girl, but she was not close to looking like this.
i think everybody has their own right to be at the weight they feel comfortable. having that said, i also think its a shame that such a young girl is carrying so much weight, its bad for her health (really really bad). if she feels bad or not or looks bad its her own problem and its not up to me to judge but clearely this is not a healthy weight and it was not a healthy weight gain (its was really fast) so i feel sorry for her.
maybe she has started medication. antidepressants perhaps? they will blow you up quickly!
It might be genetic to lean more towards a chubby body type than a very slim one, but this kind of weight gain is surely not prescribed in your genes, there must be some serious binge eating going on. I’ve always liked Kelly, I hope she gets back in shape soon.
Oh i love Kelly!
This is not a good look for her
I agree with Sian, that kind of weight gain can only be brought on by some binge eating. It’s not like she has the body type to be as big as she’s getting, sure, maybe curvy but not this. I hope she gets back into shape soon too.
goodness….she really is huge, what happened here, i know she used to be a bit chubby all the time but she’s gotten very huge!
She used to be a nice size too back in the day.
curvy is monica bellucci not kelly clarkson. this girl is obese.
wow she gained weight fast..it seems she is one of those girls who easily gains weight..but shes still cute..
OMG!! What happend to her?! She is H*U*G*E now and it is definitely unhealthy!!!
She is more than just curvy, but she is still beautiful all the same. She should dress for her body type though. That outfit is VERY unflattering.
Pre-American Idol, she wasn’t exactly thin either … but this is her biggest for sure.
I commend her for being confident with herself and not disappearing just because she doesn’t fit the hollywood stereotype!
Even tho she’s gained, she seems to be comfortable with herself. She’s wearing a tank top and jeans fitted around the hips. If I really want to cover up I’d be doing the floppy-sleeved loose dress look.
She has exploded in weight! Wow. It’s like she just let herself go. Really unflattering clothes to top it off.
Oh my God!!!!!Painful to watch. Nothing else to say.
who wants to guess her weight?
This is too much even for her.
even though she’s been gaining for the past 2 years, seeing these pics is kinda shocking.
i think beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, but she looks obese.
Wow. Hefty.
why is everyone acting as if gaining weight is sooo freaking hard. I am sorry, but gaining this amount of weight, as some of you say, overnight is NOT unheard of or hard to do!!!! First, think of it this way– she literally has millions in her savings account… think about all the great food u would be trying.. and lets get this in our thick brains… room service!!!! o my gosh, you dont have to lift a pinky!!!! and another thing, if she has gained from her previous weight of 170, and she is now 200 or 220.. who knows… the thing with that is that she can lose it this summer.. its not hard to lose weight that comes this fast…. if you have motiviation. but i doubt she cares.. she doesnt strike me as someone who cares to be thin.. anyhow…. she should be more concerned about the yo-yo diet thing since it does wear out your heart in a huge way.
ok she has definitely gained a huge amount of weight but you know there are so many people on the street this size and bigger so i guess she among the most normal famous person out there…
she is overweight but i mean i just feel bad for her because if a normal heavy person feels pressure to be slim, just imagine what she must be feeling right now…
holy crap… i cant believe she let herself go like that
she isn’t just curvy anymore, so i think it’s kinda bad no matter how happy she supposedly is with herself. that much weight gain in such a short time, u can only assume it’s not gonna end there, she’s becoming seriously unhealthy. even though i don’t think the smaller u are the healthier u are, at all, there is a limit. hope she’ll be able to pull herself 2gether, not gain or crash diet, she has such yoyo-dieter potential….
That weight gain looks painful…I’m sure she can’t feel good at this weight. Poor girl….
Gee.. She really put on the weight!!!
I can no longer simply say fat when I see her, I have to say obese now. she is friggin OBESE.
and then she wore sequins.
OMG!!!!!! is there any chance the pics have been retouched??? she is soooo HUGE!!!
OMG!
She’s a WHALE!
I mean, I’m all up for girls Like Jessica Simpson to go against the grain and show that curvy girls can be sexy too. But this is NOT “curvy” and it is definitely not “sexy”. I believe that being this large and saying that it’s okay is just as bad as being super skinny and saying that’s okay, because at the end of the day, both are not healthy. Kelly looks unhealthy.
That first picture. Just . . . ugh.
Poor girl. If I were at this weight I would be very unhappy.
She needs help now! She has always been chubby, but this is obese. She is too young, if she doesn’t get help now it’ll just get worse. I wonder if she has a hormone imbalance?
I’ll guess her weight. 5′3.5″ and 180 lbs.
This is bad for her health, and I´m sorry for that excesive weight gain. By the other hand what matters is her talent as singer.
I feel sorry for her. I saw her in concert in 2004 and sat near the front – she was very tiny and fit. What happened?
Exactly! That is not curvy, from what I remember in her good ‘ol healthy days she had a boyish body. If she wants to look better without losing weight, LOSE THE OUFITS! BTW, I don’t get why mags run articles of J. Simpson gaining “weight” yet I NEVER see anything about Kelly?!
Oh GOD! I literally said that out loud when I first saw these pictures.
She needs to hire a nutritionist, therapist and personal trainer.
She could be such a pretty girl…
OMG!!! she’s huge.
that’s not a healthy weight, she needs t lose some pounds.
btw, the outfit is totally unflattering
Hideous clothes. I wish she knew how to dress in clothes that flatters her, instead of making her look worse.
She’s gorgeous. She doesn’t need to loose weight. With some nice breast implants she would be perfect.
I will stick up for anyone with a healthy weight when they’re not super thin, like Kelly used to be, but this is no longer healthy. She is obese. I think her BMI is 30+ which is really bad. She’s way too young to be this big. So the average American on the street might look like this, in Europe most people don’t. This is not average. This is fat. I hope she loses weight quickly.
HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! she is already more than overweight!!!!!!!! pleae, kelly, do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone maybe stopped to think that these photos have been altered? Photoshop can make anyone look like a blimp! She’s not that big!
She doesn’t look pregnant she just gained a lot of weight. I saw a picture of her mother online and she’s grossly overweight (50+ lbs) so it’s no surprise that Kelly has a weight problem. I’m sure when you’re on the road as often as she is it’s pretty difficult to eat healthy. I’m sure she’ll reign in her weight in the coming months but I hope she develops healthier habits otherwise I foresee a weight gain of Kirstie Alley proportions in her future
Why are we saying “poor Kelly”? She appears to have the use of all her limbs, has money, is happy… etc.
You guys are pathetic.
Wow, some of you have said some awful things about Kelly. (I guess this is a weight blog). Yes she has gain quite a bit, but looking perfect was never her appeal. She’s our first American Idol with an American body. The girl next door with a great voice. I am sure she is not loving her weight right now and hopefully she a trim down a little, but I don’t think she deserves such mean spirited comments.
Her biggest problem is her wardrobe. With some sleeves, some Spanx and not those jeans, she could look much less heavy than she looks here. I don’t think she cares, which is certainly her choice. But if you’re going to be a bigger person, do it with class, like Adele. This ensemble here is inviting the negative comments.
She is ridiculously fat.
People used to call her “healthy”, now i ask: is it healthy to be so fat? Is it healthy not to worry about anything but flavor? Is it healthy to be so young and having so much weight to lose?
Maybe she’ll have a heart attack in stage. People will say it’s healthy.
ewww
honestly I think these look fake, not sure she’ve really gained this much
poor girl… she has an unfortunate figure…
I’d like to know where in the USA this body is what the average American “walking down the street” looks like? Not anywhere I’ve lived (in the Northeast).
I agree with Janesaidso: Spanx and sleeves would be good. But go Kelly for rocking out instead of hibernating!
yikes!
People are saying poor girl because this is a website for discussing the weight of celebrities. Most of the people here have eating disorders, if not disordered eating, and a twisted view of not only their own body but other bodies as well. Weight is clearly important to everyone here, and since Kelly isn’t thin, people are viewing it as a bad thing.
That can’t be her,maybe a really good photo shop?
What a hot mess. The jeans are WAY too tight in the thigh area, the flare at the bottom only accentuates this. Also, they’re way too long, making her look stubby and even wider. I needn’t say more about the sequins. But this all just goes to show that how you dress can add 20 pounds to an already big frame. Surely she has gained weight, but I don’t think it’s THAT dramatic. She was heavy in her last music video, and thanks to wardrobe and airbrushing, she probably weighed closer to this weight than it looked. But seriously, she needs help, this is unhealthy.
she looks obese
3 letters : F-A-T
I really can’t imagina, why healthy people are able to gain that much weight – especially, when they are able to train !!
She looks horrible and I would shoot her stylist for letting her go on stage looking like that. And she has veru unfortunate body shape – chunky arms (and now everything else) but no breasts. looks sad.
oh wow. love her though
The pictures are not photoshopped, guys. They are 100% real.
She is the most disgusting person I’ve ever seen. These pictures make me sick.
omg! I’m in shock.
She does look big in these pics. Perhaps she is happy, but I don’t really see how she could be.
Surely she has enough money to hire a nutritionist.
Usually i’m the first person defending celebs that gain weight but this is BADDDD. How about investing in a personal chef and trainer Kel? it’s not like you can’t afford it.
I commend her for not becoming just another hollywood bobble-head. And I understand that people’s genetics sometimes dictate our body make up (skinny, slim, obese, normal)… BUT we’ve seen Kelly at her natural body weight (think Idol). Now she looks clinically obese. She seriously needs help. Its not necessarily that I find her being overweight bad or offensive, but her health is suffering. With access to trainers and dietitians she could at least maintain a healthy weight.
Oh god! She gained A LOT!
Jessica Simpson or Kelly Clarkson.
Jessica Simpson. She is far better!!!
Kelly is really fat and chubby!
I am just completely shocked. I knew she had been gaining weight, but I had no idea it was this much. She really let herself go, its so sad to see. She is probably in the 180-190’s. I really hope she can get her weight under control in a healthy way. She really needs to start taking care of herself. I really feel bad for her…
It’s official: she’s a fatty boom boom. Still an amazing singer though.
ok this is fat..but what i do not get is how she sued to be very skinny straight after she won the america’s got talent?
She’s not gross, she’s a big girl but i’m sure the pressure of having her size magnified makes her yo-yo more, it must do. I’m sure she’ll come back down soon
OMG what happend , she doesn’t even look curvy anymore. SHE’S FAT! OMG how could she do that to herself?!?!? She gained TOO much!
Are you sure these photos haven’t been photoshopped? What the hell is this girl eating and has she looked in a mirror recently?!
Holy pudgeball Batman! That’s just awful.
That’s pretty huge!
Poor girl, she’s got some hard work ahead if she wants to trim that arse.
In fairness to her outfit choice, no clothing item could really help this situation.
wow she’s fat
She has a nice frame, but it’s hidden under all that fat
Her weight doesn’t take away from her singing ability. Why does everyone care if she gained weight? Why does size matter to everyone so much!
Yeeeeash! Time to get a personal trainer
HAHHAHAHAHAHAH. Okay i’ll stop. She is over weight. I wont go as far and call her obese. But she could stand to lose some weight.
For some people it isn’t easy to gain weight at all. I can’t imagine that’s it’s easy to gain that much weight, in fact I think it would take quite a bit of effort. Hopefully she’ll make the effort to lose this weight and more to gain her health back, because she certainly isn’t healthy at this point.
okay i read somewhere the other day that she is a UK size 14 (a US 10) which is not slim but not particuarly fat. but no way, this girl is definately overweight she looks terrible.
it’s great that she wants to veer away from the scary-skinny hollywood look but she still needs to wise up and sort herself out – this isn’t healthy.
ewww
wow, why doesn’t she work out?!
sam, everyone cares that she’s gained weight because this is “The Skinny Website”. You might not find so much critiquing, say, on her website or something.
Holy Moly. That’s literally what I said out loud. She won’t be happy looking that.
~~~~Bless~~~~
Yeah, definitely gained weight. lot of them. I mean, I don’t have problem with healthy curvy girl but i don’t really think she’s been eating healthy at all. it looks like she let go of herself. doesn’t go to gym and eat very fatty food. and the cloth is just horrible but i mean if you’re this big, there’s no cloth in the world that can help you hide the extra pounds.
I really think it’s just sick to see someone who try too hard to be size 0
but this is not good at all.
Oh…my…god °O°
that was my first thought
If she gained I don’t think she gained too much weight. I think she always has been huge and fat. But she might have hormone problem or something just saying we don’t know why she is so big.
OMG…my mouth seriously dropped when I saw her! I know she has always been a thicker girl, but the camera does NOT lie, she is fat.
This is not curvy or shapely.
This is chunky, stubby, chubby, fat…
Well, I must say, I feel bad for Kelly. I have struggled with weight and been all up and down, but I can say, being a size 14 is not healthy, especially for her height. I am 5′10″ and wear a 12.
I do think, though, she probably seems so big to us because we keep seeing all these very small Hollywood celebs — even Avril Lavine in the post before this and Christina look very small when compared to her and probably make her look much much mucchhhh larger.
poor girl. hope she takes care of herself and does not do some crazy crazy crash diet. ….like the one I am about to do for a wedding in 2 weeks! =) haha jk
It’s not photoshop. She looked the same on SNL maybe three weeks ago.
I have no words for this. Terrible.
And what the efff is she wearing? You can’t wear clothes like that with a body like that. Not flattering at all.
jeez she looks terrible, her clothing and her body. i know she’s not meant to be hollywood skinny, but her weight gain is crazy. she’s famous, she should at least try to be in decent shape.
her legs are so big.
eww i can’t stand chubby fingers for some reason. she has them now.
Good Lo’d! Not healthy=not beautiful. Such a talented girl, she could have it all. She needs to find that healthy medium…
Also this photo definitely killed my appetite. So..hooray for that.
she has an amazing voice and she has a great personality, BUT i can’t deny that she is indeed fat. she should definitely lose weight, she looks unhealthy!
I am not one for the Hollywood bobblehead look but this isn’t any healthier than being sickly thin!!! Yes, think of the message that extreme emaciation sends to impressionable young girls, but also think of the message that being extremely overweight/obese sends. You need to be HEALTHY, and this is not. This is NOT in shape. This is not the result of working out and eating what you want, moderately. I’m sorry but I can’t say that this is fine with me. She’s obviously a beautiful and talented girl but this is NOT her natural body weight. How is this any better than being a Lohan? Sorry, Kelly, but you should take care of yourself.
For those of you saying she has a pretty face or looks gorgeous, who are you kidding? Let’s be honest. Her face is very swollen from too much weight. There is no beauty in obesity. I’m including her health. She needs an intervention!
I wear a 10 and look nothing like that. She is fat, obese. I look curvy, she is fat. No way a 10. She is rocking about a 16 here. I have been there and it freaked me out so bad I lost 75 pounds, and I had an excuse-severe thyroid disease. She can’t feel good, it feels awful to carry that around. She has got the dreaded side boob.
Ack! It doesn’t even look like her, she has gained quite a bit. I feel badly for her.
OMG! Someone help her! She has a manager, right??
She must be binge eating or something.
Has she commented on her weight gain at all?
I always thought of her as a little chubby, but when I did an image search, I was surprised at how slim she was immediately following her Americal Idol days. WOW, her weight has increased exponentially since then!
I just don’t understand why she insists on wearing those damn huge bell bottom pants, not only are they not in style anymore and haven’t been for year’s they also make her figure look terrible! I guess the thought process is, “If the pants are wider at the bottom my butt will look smaller” But truth be told, she needs a Stacy and Clinton intervention!!!!
Oh my god. She has gained loads recently, it cant be healthy!!
She has recently been a bit bigger than what she used to be, but this is just ridiculous, she has gained a lot in the past few months!
I feel sorry for her, its going to be everywhere.
This is gross. I never understand how people who have all the money in the world manage to let themselves go, especially when it’s their JOB to be performers.
And at this point, it’s not even about “size mattering”. It’s about her health. She’s severely overweight, and this is no role model for the girls that listen to her music. This is not an issue of a curvy celebrity — this is a problem. She can’t be happy. Nobody that’s happy has this lack of respect for themselves and their body. This is more than a vanity thing — a girl this size clearly has emotional issues brewing underneath, and now it’s literally affecting her health.
And if anyone says, “this is how the average American looks”, I will flip. I’m sorry but is that your goal? To look like the “average American”? Last I checked, the “average American” was an overweight 40-something living in a trailer eating McDonalds four times a day. Just because it’s average doesn’t mean it’s right. America has an obesity epidemic, and WHY ARE WE CONFORMING TO IT? I ask you this. So because Patty Smith is 400 lbs, then it’s okay that you are? No. Respect your body!
Sorry, I’m getting carried away, but this is such an issue in today’s society and I’m sick of the bar being lowered and lowered for women’s health. Let’s strive for better than average, not below, shall we?
We’re not being mean here just to slag her off you know. It’s just unhealthy. Too much weight can eventually lead to diabetes and heart failure. I think she’s getting in the danger zone to be honest. She’s lucky most weight goes to her hips where the fat is not as dangerous, but still…
All right, so Kelly was never superskinny, but she always had a nice flat stomach! You should totally look up pictures of her on Google. It might be hard to keep up a body like that at all times but getting this way probably took a lot of effort as well.
omg kelly has always been a curvy girl, but she gained major weight she is looks obese
How can someone expend so much energy and be so heavy?
God, she has gained hasn’t she? Though the top and jeans make for a pretty unflattering outfit anyway, you can see the gain in her upper arms and stomach area. She’s definitely ‘bigger’ rather than ‘curvier’ now, though comments like these probably don’t help, so I feel kind of bad for saying them! The thing is though, she’s now looking unhealthy, she used to be in far better shape than she is now I think.
Oink oink! Gross. I don’t understand how someone wouldn’t want a good image when they’re on stage and a “celebrity”. she must have other issues going on and is eating her feelings. What a waste
wtf!
I think I´ll put those pictures on my fridge. Definitely makes me lose my appetite.
I like this girl and always have. My opinion of her has never changed based on her weight. She has a great voice, personality, and that doesn’t change when her weight changes. Hopefully her opinion of her own self worth doesn’t change either based on a number on the scale. That being said, yes she is getting really big. Whether or not anyone agrees that she has a “traditional” eating disorder, she obviously has food issues of some sort in order for her weight to fluctuate so much. As a matter of health she needs to get her issues in check, so that she can be the best her in every way, and have a long happy and healthy life.
wow. VERY unflattering outfit.
I love kelly clarkson’s music and seeing her having gained so much makes me sad, not because she’s just fat, but because it will hurt her health. I think I remember her talking about struggling with weight issues (maybe an eating disorder too?) I hope she’s ok and not just turning to food as an answer. I hope she can get back into shape!
YIKES! I’m all for being curvy, especially since celebrities are setting up unhealthy standards for the general female population…but, wow, that’s not just curvy. That’s chubby verging on fat.
Her clothes are so unflattering. She is still cute, but should lose a few pounds for her health.. I don’t like hollywood skinny, but that is a lil’ bit too much Kelly K. for me!
omfg what the fuck happened she is a blimp !!!
sorry if i sound like a bitch ,but some one should site her down and tell she doesn’t look healthy let alone good !!!!!
unless she is planning this so she gain be on mag pages with an amazing weight loss story and “how” she did it , she needs help !!!!
OMFG!!! what a porker…. YUCK!! she looks stinky.LOL
people please stop calling her curvy!! SHE IS NOT CURVY.. she is OBESE!!! Jlo, Kim Kardashian, and Beyonce are curvy!!!
ive always tried to be easy on her, and ive never made a real negative comment about her body…
but she must not be living very healthy right now. she is over weight now. and maybe it would be ‘okay’ if she were toned, but shes not. all the food on the road cant be much of a help either.
damn she looks obese
love her…trying really hard not to go back up and take a second look at these pics…
she is spoiling herself- she was really pretty when she lost a lot of weight a few years back. what a waste!
Eww…..I dont get it. Youre being paid to be looked at. You have ‘people.’ You have money. You should be able to afford a trainer, or at the least a trip to Ballys every other day. Make a couple sacrifices. Make some sort of effort.
She looks awful. She needs to lose a good 50+ pounds. Yuck.
I agree with everyone else who said “OH, MY GOD!!” That’s all I can say………..
horrible. bad. wrong.
An eating disorder is an eating disorder, no matter how long you have it, because the thought is always int the back of your head. It’s really a shame how big she is getting. Honestly this would be my inspiration to keep working out, I would cry if I looked like that. At least she seems happy though…right? Shoot who am I kidding, she probably sits eating cookies and ice cream all alone every night complaining about her increasingly huge body.
Yeah, she has gained for sure, but damn… some of you are making it seem like she is in 400 or 500 pound territory! She struggles with her weight, seems pretty damn obvious at this point.. she will probably lose some again in a few months and be on the cover of US Weekly sharing her diet secrets. Jessica Simpson better start trying to catch up
this makes me feel better about myself, sorry to say. i was crying last night about hitting 134lb at 5′4″. this makes me feel a little silly…
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
NOOOOOO
She is a fat cow, wow, how come she’s letting herself go like that?
Maybe she doesn’t want to be attractive to guys or something.
she’s got an amazing voice, and tons of talent, so i won’t hate too hard. but she has gained a very unhealthy amount of weight, she might even be considered obese. my weight fluctuates for sure, but if i cant fit into my jeans, i know it’s definitely time to stop eating so much! refusing to buy the next size up is the best diet trick! lol
Jessica WILL eventually lose the weight again, of that I´m sure. She doesn´t even have that much too lose, she could be done by summer if she wanted to. Kelly…not so much. Of course we don´t know why she´s packing on the pounds but I guess she´s pretty much given up on herself and might gain even more. It´s always easier to grab a bag of cookies and tell yourself you´re OK with your weight than to be honest to yourself and do something about it.
Rian I don’t think she is curvy, I think having curves is more like Vanessa Anne Hudgens (she has big hips) or someone like that. I think this can be safely called overweight/fat. She doesn’t have curves, just rolls. I’ve always been frustrated by people misconstruing curves to mean overweight. It simply means you can be healthy and still have a womanly shape, with hips and ass. Blake Lively is curvy, even Kim Kardashian is curvy, but Kelly is not, she is fat. Maybe a new category is in order?
did you ever think that she is not as shallow as most of you on here, and has better things to think about than how much weight she has/has not gained??
^^^ Newsflash.. there is more to life than worrying about your weight!!!
ok these have to be photoshopped….
@ realitygirl – As others have mentioned, after a certain point it isn’t “shallow”, it’s about your health. She is in an unhealthy area of weight, PERIOD. Eating better and working out more for her, at this point, would have nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with preventing diabetes and heart attacks, among the myriad other health issues that come with being TRULY overweight (not just 10 extra holiday pounds) which Kelly sadly is.
Oh good lord!!! Stop eating, girl!
realitygirl, are you kidding? this is a matter of your HEALTH. is there anything in this world more important than that? she’s digging herself into a hole that can result in heart problems, diabetes, the list is endless.
oh and even if it’s not about health for kelly, NO woman is “not shallow” enough not to think about the fact that they’ve gained 50 pounds.
haha kayleigh83, we have the same mind!
Looks like someone’s been two-fisting ham sandwiches.
Kirstie Alley in the making =/
She has a pretty face. I won’t say anything about her body that hasn’t been said, but she has TERRIBLE fashion sense in terms of looking “cute” as a big girl. She should probably be a little monochromatic in color, but with a little flair. At this point she probably doesn’t give an F. And as long as it isn’t affecting her health detrimentally, more power to her for the confidence.
*BARF*
…WoW, Meat Loaf is looking good ! ! !
But seriously…girl has issues.
wow. is all i can say. however, i think she could poissibly be pregnant, your body tends to store weight on your upper arms for lactating later on… but if that is not the case, she really needs to get back on track with diet/fitness, because she does not look in good shape. she was in good shape when she was curvy and muscular.
Oh, that is sad; it must be awful to have to go onstage looking like that. She should get some medical help. She is talented though.
I love a big girl with a good appetite and there is no doubt that Kelly sure has one.I think she looks better now than ever.I think she is totally sexy and she seems confident and happy.I hope she gets even bigger.She will always be beautiful to me no matter what size.
shes become really ugly
why ,, why she didn’t take care of her self !!
Fuck shes digusting, a real blubbering mess.
Oh, come on, she’s not obese yet people come on. I’m in med school right now and I can tell easily she is very healthy. People can gain weight from eating only healthy foods too you know. I have to agree though the outfit is not choice but she looks excellent besides, and it’s really her own opinion that matters right? or will you all just stop listening to her music because she’s a little heavy? She looks great and is having fun doing what she loves, let the girl be!
wtf…….she needs to lose weight
she doesn’t look healthy at all. she’s not very tall & that weight must put her in the overweight range.
Eww. So fat.
She is really HUGE now O_o A cow on stage.
wow, oh my God. she has gained so much. i hope she’s happy, if she isn’t then she should loose some weight.
she is really fat and should def lose a lot of weight.
WOW. i don’t even know what to say because everyone else has already said it: disgusting. huge. oink oink. serious health problem. IS SHE PREGNANT??? she prolly was bulimic, prolly not. possibly a binge-eater. disgusting outfit…oh and OH MY GOD SHE IS FUCKING HUGE!!!
It’s not just that she has gained (a lot), but also the clothes.. the hair.. and doesent she believe in make-up? Its just terrible. And she’s been on the heavy side, for QUITE SOME TIME, when is she gonna do something about it?
Realitygirl, time to start living in the reality now. Parents of Kelly the Belly need to start to intervene, like asap
Dralltonne!!!
Should join the BIGGEST LOSER…
I don’t see how someone can get that big…. being full doesn’t feel very comfortable and I feel like someone that fat would just feel full all of the time. I don’t know how she has the energy to perform well at that weight. If she just got a personal trainer she’d be fine – with her new songs she’ll probably be touring soon and I doubt she would want to be that huge while on tour…. even if she were pregnant, that’s no reason to be this big in the arms/legs area. That wouldn’t even be healthy for the baby! She needs a better stylist for sure…
I really hope she is happy, it doesnt matter what she weights, unless its unhealthy and she may not be. I hope she is really happy with herself coz thats all that matters. im so over trying to be super skinny, and reading all these comments just makes me so pleased with the decision i made, i dont want to spend my life trying to be something im not, always unhappy, always striving to be better, slimmer, prettier, my boyfriend, friends and family love me as i am for who i am. i dont want to change.
Good for you Kelly!!!
wow…
you guys all make it sound like she’s 400 pounds. Yes, she’s gained weight, but to be honest, I highly question some of the guesstimations made here. No, she won’t be dead soon, no, her weight does not fall in the morbidly obese category, yes, she’s gained weight, and yes, her bmi is probably between 25 and 30, but Jesus Christ…
it’s not the end of the world! Seriously, are we all so messed up by always looking at skinny celebs that we can’t see the difference between a bit of weight gain and an obese woman??
WHOA THAT’S A HUGH B!TCH-ha ha j/k
But seriously she looks really unhealthy and overweight. She needs to hit the gym, stat. Nobody says she has to be thin because that was never part of her package but she does need to be at a healthy weight. She probably does qualify at clinically obese. I know she has the money for a trainer so there is no excuse for her to be this jabattha hut looking,ew Grimace! Lose some weight!
I can’t help wondering if these pictures have been photoshopped to a certain extent? I seriously hope so for Kelly!
I really like Kelly but noticed when I saw her on Oprah that she was really heavy. I am afraid she is going to be one of those “weight cyclers” who gets thin for key events and then compensates by eating everything in site after and regaining it all (plus a few). Hopefully she won’t lapse into full Jessica-Simpson mode…
I love this girl..hopefully these are just unfortunate pictures. If she’s happy then everything is dandy
i don’t usually comment but….
WWWOOOAAAH… someone ate kelly!!!!
deym she got faaaaat like crazy!!!
Bada @ if you call Kelly Clarkson ridiculously fat then you haven’t seen a person that’s actually fat. Kelly is not fat. She’s carrying a few kilos too many around with her, but she’s not fat. She’s just not your average stick thin wannabe famous girl. Furthermore, she actually has talent. So what if she hasn’t got the ideal figure everyone else thinks she needs to have? Shock horror, she might even be happy with her weight and the way she looks.
That first pic is just awful
Someone needs to take the cookies away from her, or whatever it is she’s eating that’s causing this, and replace it with a dietician and healthy foods and a trainer. And likely a therapist too, she clearly has binge eating problems.
Although I’ve never been overweight, I’ve dealt with every eating disorder, so I know it’s really difficult. I was super thin and then gained weight rapidly to the point where I was an average weight, within a few months–it was terrifying, and I stopped before it got too out of hand.
But really. She has money. She can afford organic food and a trainer and better clothes than this. Ridiculous. Sure she has talent, but she should also have the common sense to know that she should try to look presentable on stage and that she needs to cut out (or at least cut down on) all the fast food.
WOuld be interested to see what she looks like in person..am guessing that the photos and dodgy outfit choice make her look a lot bigger than she actually is. I doubt she weighs 200 pounds as some of you are saying! Lets hope if she does feel she needs to lose weight she does it healthily, its far worse for your health to crash diet than to be slightly overweight. And as for all the fat pig etc comments…that’s just mean!!!
HUGE! She has gained again and it isn’t flattering at all.
I think she eats too much becose of stress.. She has always been a little chubby, but healthy.. This isn’t healthy, and I hope that she finds balance in her eating habits.
DANG GIRL!!! Eat much????
If I had to guess, I’d say she is an American Size 12. Definitely overweight but not obese yet. Don’t forget the camera adds weight!
it would be redundant of me to say that this is really a bad look for her, and unhealthy too. ugh. i feel bad for her, i get upset when i gain 5 lbs. i can’t even imagine what she must have done to gain that much.
oh ps, these photos are everywhere and i’m 99% sure they have not been altered.
the people who gave nasty comments can just keep it to themselves
why: you are no the ones who are carrying her weight, so why is it getting to you so much?
foolish empty headed people, stop being so toxic!
made a error:
why: you are “not” the ones
There is no denying it now: she is now FAT.
oh for god’s sake, people, she’s not obese! She’s overweight. You probably pass 100 women who look just like her every single day and don’t think twice about it.
that third picture…. ouch. this really is mind blowing.
wow. ok – tori, lindsay, kelly r. might all not be healthy but THIS definitely isn’t healty too!!
bloody hell
Persephone’s comment –
I can no longer simply say fat when I see her, I have to say obese now. she is friggin OBESE.
and then she wore sequins.
…. Is the highlight of my life.
Dear Mother Of God. I feel so bad for her.. She’s obviously having a bad problem with eating, i mean, she’s huge. Her lower body is just reeeally in bad shape, I wonder how she can live with that.
oh man I feel bad for her too. She really needs to get this under control NOW.. it probably seems really hard for her right now though but with all that money I’m sure she could find someone to help and invest in healthy foods! Come on kel!!!
you guys are hilarious. its obviously just her body type. i’m betting she probably can’t do anything about it, its just her body type. I had a roommate who was also of Greek descent like Kelly and had the same exact body type. She starved herself thin for a while and then her body finally gave way and with screwed up metabolism, despite the fact that she was eating a healthy diet and excercising she still blew up. looked EXACTLY like kelly with the thick arms and legs and small boobs.
a word of advice to you who think that starving yourself thin is the way to go, it screws up your metabolism. same thing happened to hillary duff.
oh my goodness.
sad for her.
Re: Kyle’s comment, “I’m in med school right now and I can tell easily she is very healthy.”
Haha, well I’m glad you used your almost-a-real-doctor x-ray vision to let us know that by looking at a pic of an overweight celebrity on a stage, you are all able to determine her fitness/health levels. You just may be the Miracle Man. I didn’t know you could determine fitness and heart health by a simple glance! If that’s the case, screw my yearly physical! I’m just going to head on over to the local med school and have some random students give me the once-over. If they feel I “look” healthy, I’m GOLDEN.
Give me a break. This is not a “healthy” weight no matter how you swing it, and the yo-yo dieting she’s been doing over the past few years doesn’t help.
this is when it helps to have people who really love and care about you in your life
one, they would never let her leave the house in that hideous outfit let alone perform in them.
two, they would care about her and discuss that the weight she is carrying will affect her health longterm if she doesnt get a handle on it.
I actually don’t think she looks that bad. She could be alot worse, I think she can pull it off aswell. And she’s probably loaded. ;3
oh my. i hope she is ok. clearly the weight gain is a health issue (not a vanity issue).
i think its simply genetic ! she is very talented and sweet but just cannot look like a supermodel…. thats all
So what?
Oh, my, gawd… She looks horrible. Like she about to have a heart attack any second! Or explode… Lay off those cheeseburgers fat ass.
saviana, you rock!!!!!
Haha, thanks!!!
ahhhhh she’s huge
The one thing that I like about her is that she doesn’t care what other people think. Like she won’t change just because others told her to. She seems like the type who will change only for herself which is a good message to other women. But in terms of her actual body type, it’s not a positive message! The attitude of being comfortable with yourself should be stressed but being overweight shouldn’t be. She’s clearly overweight and those who think otherwise, are we looking at the same pictures here? She’s really unhealthy. I’m not talking as if she’s ugly. This is a matter of health. She’s out of shape.
OBESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow, i hope a trainer would jus come and save her life!!!!! she is too big for her frame.
Wow. Its about time. I was waiting for this day. She has finally become a sexy, beautiful, round woman. Wow. Nice hips especially! Keep it going! She looks great!! Another 20 or 30 pounds should do her quite nicely.
Greek people are typically fat??
Woah, she’s gained too much. Quit going overboard with the cake, Kelly!
yuck! she looks gross and huge! she should lose a lot of weight asap! ugly body
The camera doesn’t add weight, it just doesn’t lie. The camera just happens to show all of your flaws that normal people don’t have time to sit and point out…
I looked at quite a few of the comments and it turns my stomach. When did it become ok to comment on someone elses body when we all have our own issues with ourselves. Before you commented, did you think it might be a health issue? No one is perfect and people go through things. Do you all think that the negative and hurtful comments help? How about our young girls who struggle with self image on a daily basis? do you think these comments help them with their issues when they read how people look at someone who may not be a size 0. Pretty sad and grow up. I work with young women who have self image issues, and to think how devastated they would be to read some of these comments.
K, she has gained a few lbs. So what? She is still amazingly talented and pretty! At least she isnt a skinny victim of a famine looking PaulaAbdul! I really like Paula too!
NO WAY she is an American size 12, AT LEAST 14/16. She’s huge and the camera isn’t adding THAT much weight, she’s just simply this friggin big. Look again at her thighs and claim a size 12. Not buying it.
Whooooaaaa
And yeah, she is not a size 10 or 12 but a 14/16. I was a size 10 before I lost a few, and I NEVER looked like that. I’m not much taller than her either. She looks like people I know who are short and wear size 14.
OMG
She has always been a heavy girl but WOW- she is HUGE!! She needs to lose like 100 pounds
She looked so much better before…
Is she preggers????
Is she lonely???
Is she unhappy???
Is she at a low point in her life???
Has something new happened???
Girl you’bout to burst….. slow down on the ‘goodies’ they are killing you….Nothing is worth letting yourself go. I lobe your voice…your image needs some ‘doing’ up…..Love you Kelly….bu seriuosly though…everything ok????!!!1@@@@####
She hasnt popped some laxatives for sometime………..because there is a bun in the oven! and she dont give a rats behind what anyone thinks.
Even though she is slightly fat, its a welcome suprise to every other anorexic lady-boy out there.
FYI.. all of you calling her a pig, that’s what most of America looks like. She is normal compared to real people… compared to celebs yeah she is big.
that is sad. she obviously has a binge eating disorder. this is unhealthy, excessive and she needs to get help pronto
go kelly!!! i currently have (and have had in the past as well) friends who are about her size and they are fun, energetic, full of life, and not at all catty or full of attitude like some of my friends who are obsessed with their weight and being skinny. i like kelly-types, personally, and tend to get annoyed with my friends who want to be a bone. kelly is beautiful – bigger can definitely be beautiful!
SWEET JESUS!
She looks bad at this weight. I am all for different body types but she is not doing herself any favors with the clothes and just looking like a mess. Jennifer Hudson is a big girl but at least she is put together.
Risse: Well said!!!
i hate when people go “she let herself go,” no one ever wants to gain weight, shit happens, it’s either an eating disorder, family problems, job, school, or relationship problems that causes a person to abuse food.
seriously, where are her people? her parents, friends, agent, professionals she work with; she needs help.
i thought she got big when she was on saterday night live but that is not cute. I don’t think a single person can honestly say she looks healthy.
One word… DISGUSTING!!!
And another word… ICK!!! Even if that doesn’t quallify as a word…
If anyone says she is, ‘CURVY’ can go jump off a bridge. This is FAT FAT FAT FAT, plain and simple.
Disgusting.
Thank you, Risse, for your thoughtful post… so true.
saviana i totally agree with you…She’s fat…she needs proper diet&exercise….she’s a celeb…blablabla…i don’t think that her job is to be skinny,her job is to sing…but okay…
i just wonna know where the hell is brithney spears link in ds website … i used to come in here to just check her page
I hope Kelly doesn’t read this stuff. My father in law told me I was getting really fat (140 pounds at 5′3″) and since I have issues with how I look anyway, it really hurt my feelings. I went on a diet right then and there. I now weigh 102 and look emaciated but I can’t stop. I think you have to be very careful about what you say about peoples appearance, you can send them over the edge inadvertantly. And it’s not just a young girls problem, I’m 47 and have 5 kids.
Its really weird, she just performed on Ellen and she didnt look anywhere near this big. I think part of it is bad clothes choice and bad photo angles.
Her voice is still stellar.
This is mean, but when I was way overweight, I didn’t eat, I “FED MY FAT”. It looks like Kelly feeds her fat.
She must feel terrible. She probably knows she doesn’t look too hot and i dont think there is any need for all you immature people to say things like ‘yuk’ and ‘gross’. I admire her for still getting out there, performing and not letting down her fans. She is famous for her voice, not her body. And she seems very mature to handle herself so professionally. I’m sure she will try and lose the weight soon.
the poor gal. obviously has an eating disorder
i think the weight she was forced to loose for her music career- has led her to binge eat uncontrollably.
i think she looks really great, she is beautiful now and shouldnt change at all
This is not healthy at all, the people that say “she looks fine” are nuts or they’re probably fat, that’s why they think it is okay.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
WHAT THE HELL?!?!?
‘SOME significant weight’ is a total understatement.
this is.. whoa. I really am speachless.
looks like she can wrap the fat of her upper arms
around her neck to use it as a scarf. yah I know
I’m being really mean but excuse me.. and I thought
I had gained… lol what’s 20lbs next to that…
It became OK to comment when you are on a celeb weight website. And med school person, I have been in the field for 17 years and that girl is clinically obese. With her height her BMI must be almost 30. She is not a size 12. I have been a 12, am now a 10, she has to be at least a 16. She is wearing weird jeans-she can’t fit into designer denim because they only go to 12/32. No freaking way. She is obese and I would chart it as such if she were my patient. If she is naturally bigger that is fine, but letting yourself completely go is not fine.
Curves, yep I am total hourglass is great-obesity isn’t. She isn’t curvy, she is fat.
I remember gaining a lot in span of 2 months… I had been constantly dieting and then I just snapped, couldnt stop eating, whatever it was… and then some allergy medication and it looked like I swallen. So Im not jumping into any conclusions.
I dont think she let herself go, it looks like some deeper problems… unless we have another Kriste Alley on our hands, who just enjoys food and booze.
I dont even commment on those clothes… big girls know how to dress to look smaller, what hairstyle makes you look less plump, but apparently she hasnt been that big for long… oh my, some people do need stylist, a good one.
But seriously, with all the money… and endorsments from all dieting companies, all the prescription diet and non-diet pills. When youre famous its not that hard to shed it off (imho Janet Jackson) and then make good story and money out of it.
its annoying how you call her curvy yet beyonce curvy too.
its kinda an insult to be called curvy now.
im not even sure of the definition but this woman is just fat.
wow, her thighs have ballooned.
a few kilos ago i would have said “ok, it’s a nice change to see a woman comfortable in her own skin”, because she was simply curvaceous then. but now she’s just overweight and i really think she should lose a bit of weight. for her sake.
and somehow she’s not pretty anymore. for me, she’s lost her appeal. which is sad.
I went from 108 pounds at age 33 and then when i started eating i gorged cause i basically lived hungry since age 18. I gained 60 pounds in less than 5 months cause my body really stored it because my metabolism was so out of wack. I lost alot of it now. it took a year. but im not 18 anymore. my bmi is 17.8 and my socialworker said she wants it to go up to at least, minimum 20 bmi. I told her i read it many times that 18.5 is normal but they were magazines that dont necessarily get their info right. She gave me health canada and other dietician sites that all say bmi should be at least 20. Seems odd, but we live in such a skinny obsessed society that I think even bmi of 20 is too much for me. Im 5 foot 8 and a half. Im wondering if other people agree with me or not.
HOLY SHIT
holy crap that was a big surprise. I thought maybe a bit but, wow!!
Ohhhh Kelly…. C’mon girl. Look at yourself. Now look at yourself 6 years ago. You aren’t healthy.
I wish we could sit and have a heart-to-heart with her. I lost 80 lbs in 7 months because I had reached that state of obesity and knew what I used to look like. It’s unhealthy. Especially when your body type is not supposed to hang on to fat like that.
I have nothing against fat people, but this really makes me sick to look at.
OMG!!! I am a huge Kelly fan, and before when she was a little chubby,I stood up for her because she’s gorgeous and very talented, but wow! This is no longer just chubby, this is too much. KELLY TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!! I’m not saying she has to be a size 2, but like she’s looking more like a size 16-18…
Wow, she must eat like 10.000 calories a day to gain so much weight that fast!!
Fatty fatty boomsticks.
she has gained, but who cares. She has talent and is beautiful.
Woow! She is very beautiful!
She looks uncomfortably overweight. For someone so lucky to be in that business. She really should make an effort to stay in shape and healthy. She’s a beautiful talented girl.
To all of you people proclaiming how she isn’t healthy, etc: You have no idea what her health is like! Not all fat people are unhealthy, just as not all thin people are healthy. She’s not obese, but she is overweight and that’s probably because she’s screwed up her metabolism by dieting. Going on another diet to lose weight fast, as many of your are so politely suggesting, is just going to end up making her gain more in the long run. The poor girl can’t win, so give her a break!
I’m a “big” girl and reading these comments is painful… Yeah, I’m overweight, but I also exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet (I don’t binge eat, as many of you assume all fat people do), and I’m in perfect physical health. Let’s all stop making assumptions about people who don’t look the way we want them to, shall we?
her fat is NOT genetic ! please ! she looked amazing years back when she was obviously working out and she was toned and muscly and trim. she is not exercising and eating too much crap OBVIOUSLY…. so sad, she is a BAD example for women to just let yourself go….. she WAS in HOT & HEALTHY SHAPE !!!
holy shit
OMG!!!! wow….she was never skinny, but now she’s just FAT. really fat…
I pray for you Kelly. You will be OK. I was bullimic before and was in denial for 6years. I just ate and took laxatives, until my doc told me it may affect my chances of having a child by causing my ovaries to be polycystic .. That was it for me. As soon as I stopped taking laxatives, I balooned to 220lbs. I am 5ft 11 and that was too much for me. Finally I decided to go the healthy way and start exercising and making some sacrifices. I stopped eating alone, hiding food, or eating in front of the TV. I just told myself I had this one chance to reaaly enjoy life. It worked. Today I have lost 60lbs in 5months and i wont stop until i loose another 50lbs. It is a sickness. No one knows what is wrong with Kelly. Compulsive eating is like being on any kind of drugs. You feel the urge to eat anything. I had a friend who went thru bins to look for what she had thrown away in the bin cos her mind told her she had to eat that particular food…..It is an illness…a very serious one. I pray for you Kelly!
this pic is definitely fucking altered. she has gained weight but no where near that much.
She had such a career going, it is so sad to see her waste it away. It is so difficult to get the spotlight on you, to throw it away is amazing. She will never be able to get her full potential of fans, commercial roles, potential movie roles, etc. looking like this. She could do so much more better for her career if she took care of herself and also for her self esteem and health. It just doesn’t make any sense why she would do this.
Did she make those jeans in 2001 her self? Poor poor poor outfit choice, and also that angle doesn´t help!
I am shocked by these pictures. I thought they must have been digitally enhanced ar first. I just can’t understand why a celebrity such as Kelly would gain so much weight, surely she can afford a personal trainer/dietician?
She seems like a nice girl I hope she manages so sort herself out and get to a healthier weight.
could there be better diet motivation.
She looks like she just let herself go! I’m confused because she looked skinny in her recent music video “I do not hook up” what the heck happened? Did she just go on a major binge eating frenzy or what?
Well I guess she is “normal sized” shes not like 300 pounds but shes definately no longer a size 4. She seems like just the kind of person you would see if you went out to the mall or something.
