The only good thing I have to say about these photos is she has nice shoes. That is all.
ugh
She couldn’t wear a more UNFLATTERING dress, horrific choice.
Her hair is gorgeous, the dress is cute, the shoes are hot. I don’t think the fishnets flatter her legs. The sequined upper half of the dress is casting dreadful reflections on her inner arm area.
Big girl, so what. . . .
Well, I think she looks great. Why should she be thin? Is it better to be like Micha Barton and Mary Kate? At least she looks happy.
she has a very beautiful voice but wow she does not look healthy at all. She should loose 10-15 pounds and she’d look way better. dont like the outfit either. her dress looks tacky and sorry mel but i do not like her shoes at all. They look tacky as well .
Her arm flab is making me think of those stress balls you squeeze on, is that mean…
I think she is still gorgeous, and the outfit does not look that bad on her. My favorite Kelly however was back in 2005, with the blonde hair and fit bod!
she looks the same to me weight wise. lovin the shoes but not so sure about her dress.
She’s dressed better than she normally is, but she really needs to discover sleeves. She could add weight loss and exercise for her health.
You gotta admire her for accepting herself the way she is and saying “Eff you, this is me. Call me fat, I don’t care. I have talent.”
She’s massive!
She is a very pretty girl, but if she continues to gain she is going to have health problems in the future!
I agree with @girl butt. It’s not a bad dress…it’s not too short, it’s flattering for her shape, the detailing isn’t my favorite (and the reflection on the arms ain’t so hot) but overall very complimentary for her size.
Kelly, girl, if you’re happy the way you are, then just do your thing, honey.
She’s a singer, not a model, so who cares if she’s on the heavy side? Only thin girls get to make music?
On the other hand, the girl needs a stylist in the worst way! Instead of playing up her curves she always chooses the most unflattering outfits!!
Hideous dress, just absolutely disgusting
I’m not an advocate of stick thin but I’m not an advocate of over weight either. She should probably get a trainer and a nutritionalist to get healthy. She doesn’t need to be a stick just look healthy. Even in her face she doesn’t look well.
Man, at least have the decency not to wear a sparkly dress. Also, its weird, considering the rest, that she has no cleavage, dontcha think? and mel, yeah lets give her that, the shoes are ok
Cute dress, cute hair. She looks good.
Yes, I realize she isn’t thin. A lot of people aren’t. Oh well.
Erin…ITA…
SHES NOT CURV, SHES OVERWEIGHT.
i hate curvy and healthy being euphemisms for fat
She’s talented, that’s all that really matters to me. If paris hilton got to this size, now that would be something to talk about… I don’t think kelly looks healthy but I’m not one to judge
Totally with Doog. By saying ‘more power to her for being that size’ and ‘don’t care what everyone thinks’ people are enabling her to continue at this dangerous path of obesity. I bet she can’t climb my porch steps without getting breathless and hurting her joints. What’s the point in having that gifted voice if you’re not taking care of yourself (eg Winehouse)?
for me that dress is a much bigger problem than her weight!
Her hair, makeup and shoes look great. She should have went with a dress that has sleeves.
She is too young to be having weight issues. Looking like this in her 20’s imagine at her 40’s… It’s about health people. Too thin or too heavy = health problems.
I think this post should be tagged under “weight loss (speculation”. She doesn’t looks as big as she did a few months ago. She’s not obese anymore, just a bit round. She’s beautiful nonetheless.
Looking dangerously like Kelly Osbourne……………………
Actually it looks like she lost. Love her by the way.
Unflattering dress and fishnets, I think her stylists need to learn how to dress someone with curves?! If she’s happy at that weight then thats all that matters.
Wow, she looks like Beth Ditto.
I will never understand why anyone overweight wears sleeveless. It really shows your weight issues.
YIKES! Clearly, Kelly has pounds to shed, but she’s NOT Beth Ditto! Beth Ditto is GROSSLY obese. Not to mention absolutely disgusting with her constant parading of her ladyparts. Yuck. No talent there. Kelly has great talent, tho she needs to brush up on the whole package of self presentation part of her job.
hahahahahahahahaha! HAHAHAHA!
When is she gonna loose the pounds? Seems like shes been like this a long time. I mean, how can she be happy looking like that in Hollywood? Shes cute and all, but she would be prettier if she lost a little.
I like her dress and her shoes. I also like most of her music (runs and hides)
stretch marks on arms
for her figure type, she looks nice, but i would’ve left out the fish-nets.
@ patricia i doubt losing weight will make her “prettier”. LBS has nothing 2 with her beauty-it will only affect how her body looks.
She could have picked a much more flattering dress…the length, and having bare arms are not doing her any favors. She doesn’t look horrible, but could have picked much more flattering clothes for her current size and shape. Hire a personal trainer Kelly!
And actually, losing weight can affect how “pretty” you look. I have personally known women who look older when they are heavier – and less attractive in the face.
@madison You really think she’d have a hard time climbing steps without joint pain and trouble breathing? When she’s performing 2 hour concerts?
I get that she’s overweight, and that overweight isn’t an aesthetic that most people on this website like, but she’s REALLY not that big. Plus, the “Eww! Disgusting!” comments are really rich, coming from some of the same posters who think Kristin Cavallari’s shoulders looked good in the last set of pictures Rian posted. Not to mention that calling someone disgusting is probably more reflective of yourself than anyone else.
A very talented and pretty girl, she has a lot going for her but the extra weight has GOT to go! Im glad that she doesn’t feel the need to look like a stick figure like many famous women now a days but this is just very unhealthy for her.She really has to find a balance in her weight and not just let herself go…
She looks smaller actually, at least that’s what I think. I do think the dress is flattering, just not very pretty. I’m not gonna comment on her weight because I’ve got nothing to add.
Yeah its a difficult one with her because
A she doesn’t seem to care about her weight
B she is a singer and a good one and theres no set weight for that
C We can;t really play the unhealthy card because you don’t know if she is
However, I feel that when i look at the way she dresses she is just settling, their is a difference between being stick thin because you felt “media pressures” and just bein in shape for the sake of dressing well and feeling good. I think it would hurt to lose abit, but then it takes me back to square one… Why should she if shes happy as she is?
Wouldn’t*
Wow! Just when you think she couldn’t look any worse!
she’s wearing spanx!!!!
@Honesty – That is so true she looks worse. She needs an intervention to help her get this weight problem under control.
O no Kelly… Brave girl for showing up and apparently not caring. I would lock myself up in the house – she looks so bloated and uncomfortable. I hope she’s not comfort eating, that is just so horrible (I’m finally in recovery for just that after 10 years of therapy). Kudos to Kelly, hurrah!!!
BTW, totally agree with Mina about the health thing.
She is so pretty and talented. It’s a shame about her weight.. she is still amazing though!
She looks gorgeous – and I love the red in her hair.
Hmmm…I’m not sure she’s gained weight, maybe it’s just the dress she’s wearing?
She still has a pretty face though, IMO.
And she doesn’t look uncomfortable to me..?
Obviously she looks fat and sloppy, but what about how yellow her teeth are??!! Too much sugar I bet! HA!!
I can´t believe that she is still trying to tell people, that she feels comfortable the way she looks. Didn´t she recently give an interview about how there are days when she just eats salad? And that she works out?
Don´t believe a word she says.
I think they could have dressed her in something more flattering. She must have a waist and this dress hides it.
At maddison who said;
“By saying ‘more power to her for being that size’ people are enabling her to continue at this dangerous path of obesity. I bet she can’t climb my porch steps without getting breathless and hurting her joints”
She really isn’t so heavy that she can hardly move. She may exercse regularily. Super skinny is easily as unhealthy as moderately overweight. I bet you don’t pull out the ‘this is so unhealthy card’ everytime Miranda Kerr or some other skeletor is posted. In case some of you didn’t know, anorexia is also bad for ones health.
i love kelly!
but i dont like her hair colour or the hair cut either!
isnt she trying to loose some weight,i mean…she gained weight!she is getting thicker!!!
please loose weight!!ugh!!
She is a beautiful woman but this can’t be healthy.
She is huge.
It doesn’t matter that she is not a model and shouldn’t have to be thin but she used to be normal sized. She is overweight now.
Great shoes. I don’t think she’s obese or anything but she could stand to lose a few lbs to better her appearance. I don’t think she’s endangering her health yet though. That’s extreme.
@ Viola, well said.
Also, like others have said, she’s not a model, she’s a singer and a talented one at that. We should be kinder to our ’sisters’ out there, and let them rock what they’ve, especially when they’re happy. It’s strange how women tend to be nasty to each other instead of letting them be how they want. Says more about the person IMO.
I don’t understand why people who say that Kelly is unhealthy are being accused of wanting her to be thin…as if a person can only be either fat or stick thin. To the people doing the accusing: perhaps the people who are saying that Kelly is overweight are simply saying that she is overweight, not that she should be Mary Kate.
I mean, she doesn’t have to be a size 0, but that doesn’t mean she should be a size 14 either. Both are bad for someone like her.
And it’s not natural chubbyness. We have all seen her thinner. I don’t know what her diet is like but she clearly does not work out. Even for a big person, she is flabby. Her weight is mostly fat and not muscle. So again, not indicative of healthy habits. What a shame.
And I find it interesting that those who say that we shouldn’t judge her because even though she looks unhealthy, she has talent are the same people that would in a second judge a thin celebrity as being unhealthy and having anorexia. Hypocrisy much?
@beckers has put it well.
Poor Kelly…it seems to me she’s fed up with trying to be comething she is not and the media spot light.
Sorry but she looks like shit – what is going on with that dress? and the hair? and the sheer black tights? she should be at a middle school dance. love her music though! she needs a stylist.
I thought she looked fatter in the last set of pictures. She needs to lose weight for health reasons, aesthetics aside but that is her business.
She is such a talented singer.
I don’t think she enjoys being that size. Nobody would.
Anyone pretending to be happy as a fat person is a liar, but who has a little pride and doesn’t want to admit that he/she feels miserable.
If she had a magic stick, she probably would be thrilled to be transformed instantly in a slim girl, but life is not that easy… she clearly battles with an eating disorder, and that can take years before she overcomes that.
Anyway, I think she’s talented and cute!
Those are not stretch marks on her arms, they are reflections from the sequins. She looks cute here, I guess.
Ugh lose weight.
I actually think she’s losing, I’ve seen her way fatter than this.
But what that on her arms, stretch marks? Oh uh…
I remember reading how she once said on an interview: “my weight will always fluctuate a lot, I will be at a different weight every time you see me”… something along the lines. Like she’s proud of it or something.
Well girlfriend, that is NOT a healthy attitude, and proof of that is on your arms.
@ shaden: i agree! not a fan of the hair….
It’s unhealthy to be this big regardless of your profession.
How many calories does it take just to maintain this weight? Far more that 2,000 per day
ps she did loose weight
Kelly looks really pretty here. She actually looks like she’s settling into a bigger body and not squeezing into too tight clothes.
@Persephone, I like her songs, too, sure they’re mostly cheesy pop tunes, but her last album had a little more Rock to it and her songs are always catchy. That doesn’t mean I think she’s more talented than Beth Ditto as someone claimed, I don’t know if Ditto writes the songs for the Gossip or not, but she has a pretty strong voice, too.
And to get back to the original topic: apparently all these people look so much smaller in real life, so I can’t decide if she’s just chubby – in which case, go ahead Kelly and enjoy your sandwiches – or overweight already. But at least she always seems pretty confident, so good for her.
I forgot to say: Awesome post, Viola.
two tips for kelly:
1) choose dresses over jeans.
2) always stand close to the woman who is behind you in the second pic. guess that helps!
I cant believe you all care about someone else enough to comment. ( Yes, I know, I too am commenting). I see my wife was checking out this page, and curiosity got me reading the comments. Wow I think some of you should not look so hard at others, and take a walk or, read a book, or do something to make yourself feel better. Its better than cutting on a picture of someone else. Imagine someone taking photos of you after thanksgiving dinner, then posting it, and you got home to find someone commented on how you looked.
This is not healthy. That hair color is not working either. I don’t think she looks happy. I think she looks tired in the eyes and like she is posing.
It’s sooo sad…she has such a pretty face and voice…to bad she’s missing self respect…
And to those of you who say “She should accept herself the way she is”…I disagree
Yes, I DO believe she should LOVE herself the way she is, however, that is not the same as “ACCEPTING” herself the way she is.
If she truly had self-esteem and loved herself, she would accept the BEST for herself, even if that means making a change to be more fit and healthy. If you love yourself, you love yourself enough to be real and not make excuses for making bad health choices and such. If you really love yourself, you respect your body and treat it in the best way possible. And if you don’t respect yourself, how do you expect others to respect you?
EXACTLY.
ELENNE
I totally agree!!! Having curves means you have a large bust, a small waist, and large hips…hence the curves, like an hourglass…not an elephant…
she’s not THAT big. i agree that a different style of dress would be more flattering though.
She has struggled in the past with bulimia, so clearly she is still struggling with food issues. What bothers me is not that she has gained, but the fact that pics of her on her album and in magazines are so airbrushed. if shes so comfortable in her skin, she should insist that the marketing and cover of her album actually looks like her
She has a very womanly figure. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable with her body, which is attractive. You don’t have to be thin to be a singer – a good voice is way more important, and she has a very god one.
Pretty face and sparkling personality. Don’t like her body, too matronly.
yes she is talented, and very pretty, BUT she is overweight and should lose some
kelly clarkson is like my soul sister. just love her! therefore, i will not, cannot, say anything mean about her. she’s thick but proportioned, in my opinion. and amen to those that point out that kelly is not a model.
if you’re this rich you can pay someone to follow you around and tell you what to eat.. and she should.
Seriously?? Why do people care so much if she’s bigger? With some of the comments on here, you’d think she was 600 lbs. Really, people. As was mentioned by another poster, self-hate seems to manifest itself in some seriously ugly posts on this site. People need to calm down, have a burger, take a nap…….something…..
First, let me say that Kelly has one of the best voices in the industry. While she did peak in her weight two months ago, she looks like she is starting to lose. She has been doing a 35-minute power workout daily, not to mention her concerts. She has always had slightly beg arms and legs, but they look like they are slightly starting to firm up. They were really much worse during the summer. I think if she laid off the alcohol, she’d lose weight faster.
I think the colors flatter her(white making her chest look bigger and the darker smaller), although the short sleeves were a mistake. She looks SO much smaller during the performance in black, although the hair isn’t as flattering.
Her voice at the AMA was outstanding and she looked very classy and not overweight at all.
I don’t care that she is on the heavy side, and she looks pretty except for that awful dress. I never thought I would ever say this about anyone, but maybe she should consider a boob job? To balance her out a little. Is that horrible? Or at the very least, a different stylist.
she looks hot when shes fat like this. but that dress is really ugly and she needs to change her hair color.
poor her… look ate her arms!!! :/
at*
barf. for the love of pete, go to the gym!
VIOLA ROCKS!!!
Actually, I think she looks really beautiful. She has very cute curves. As a guy, I think I actually prefer her at this weight than when she was really thin. I DO have to say, however, that it wouldn’t be good for her to get heavier, just for her health. Curves are cute but not gaining more and perhaps losing some is probably healthiest for her in the long run.
@viola is right. If you have seen Kelly in concert, she’s constantly in motion, hopping and spinning around the stage, and she never sounds out of breath. She’ll need to watch the weight as she gets older but she’s definitely not unhealthy as she is now.
As long as she knows what to wear with her weight..
Its not her weight that make people talk its how she presents with outfits.This time this dress loox better than her stage outfits!
i know this is mean, but i cant believe she even shows her face in public, she has to know shes gonna get instantly attacked and i think she DESERVES it unless she has horrible B-E-D or some kinda health problem that makes her gain massive amounts of weight, cause i mean c’mon…it HURTS to look at her.
Seriously, what the heck happened to her? This is seriously disturbing.
@ Rebecca i think shes bigger than kelly now, kelly has lost and her waist is tinnier
@SHEY thanks for your post! Shes overweight which is just as unhealthy as being too thin. Plus Her saying this weight is just her being her is the same as a really thin girl saying “im naturally this way” Its definately a double standard.
definitely gained.. but still not that bad. a little bit of exercise and she should be back to her old self or at least a healthier version of this
She’s too big. Not healthy. Her face shows it.
I’m wondering: is there any VIP out there with normal weight???
Okay, this weight is not supposed to be normal or healthy. She’ too big and she should loose a couple of pounds.
Oh my, the stretchmarks on her arm.
Poor girl. She has gained more and I wish someone would have done her hair better, she looks like a 3 month old perm is wearing out and she just got out of the pool and didn’t brush it before it dried.
she’s about the same..
I think the whole thing with Kelly is she used to be a lot thinner (even when she first started on AI) and she sort of went in the opposite direction that most girls in the industry take…she gained instead of becoming super skinny.
Honestly, I think she is cute still. Could she lose some weight…yeah it would probably be healthier to carry around less. I don’t think she is totally out of shape though, as she runs around a stage a couple hours several times a week. But this girl is not obese by any means, and I don’t think obesity is necessarily indicitive of beauty either.
But, I have to say that being non super skinny in Hollywood and knowing what the bloggers say must make her life really, really tough. I really do hope she is happy despite it all.
Okay, okay…she gained a lot of weight. But…notice that, she looks like very happy! That’s very important!
I don’t think she looks too bad but I wouldn’t have worn those fishnets with it.
I’m beginning to feel sorry for her! As long as she’s happy, though…
and yes, nice shoes.
A few pounds???? ha!!
@onesie:good choice!!;)
@kokaile:am 100% with you!!
Why has my comment been cancelled?
I only wrote she has definitely LOST. Not gained.
OMG.
she is borderline obese :/
Oh dear
The cut of the top part of the dress is unsuitable, yes. But she still looks lovely I think. The hair is a bit limp and the colour is way too warm for her skin tone. Looks like we had our share of bad hair at these AMA awards. Wow. What’s up with that??
She really looks heavy and that dress is not flattering at all. She needs to lose some weight. With all that money, she can hire a trainer and a chef.
Finally a real woman.
honestly this girl has one of the most amazing voices ever, so i could care less how much she weighs..she looks super happy/cute, not hallowed out or dead like some other ladies in the biz…..
A bit on the heavy side but she seems happy!
Wow. God awful.
She has Cheryl Cole knees. Lucky for Kelly she has small ankles. Terrible outfit choice, which is a shame. Her stylist should have highlighted her best features.
IMO it’s a skilled person who can make an overweight woman look good on the red carpet, especially in Kelly’s case as for a big girl she has quite a small chest. Her proportions are not good.
Clearly unhealthy.
Wat happened to her? She’s huuuuuuge!!!!!!!! I thought she was fit a few months ago and her face is ugly.
How can you twits mistake reflections of the sequins for stretch marks?
Oh my god kelly, oh my god.
Get a hold of yourself woman!
nobody asks you to be beautiful to the camera or go stick thin, just get healthy!
She reminds me of Shrek here…
do i think she looks good…..no
but is it my problem…no
and she seems happy and carefree…i just hope she is not like secretly dying in side.
Nooo Rian, why did you put her under curvy? Small bust, no defined waist… she is the opposite of curvy!
i think she will put up some weight in the future
She used to be a bombshell!! What happened?
Personally, I like her hair. It would be better as a different color–like blonde. She was lovely as a blonde.
But I definitely also think she should lose at the very least 10-20 lbs. She looks ok for her weight, but she could look SO much better.
Her arms scare me a little bit, though. They just look chunky–especially at the wrist.
Though I think you guys are idiots. Those are reflections from the sequins, NOT stretch-marks. I mean, what are you guys? Blind or something? :\
Oh, and I LOVE her shoes. The dress… eh, it’s ok… definitely not something I would wear, though.
Any guesses on who makes those shoes?
