It looks like she may have gained a little more weight since we last saw her…?

oy, she is not looking her best!
I think she should lose weight, not healthy.
This is kinda sad, she looks really unhealthy…amazing voice though at least she can actually sing, unlike so many artists today.
I don’t see any major weight gain, i mean from a few months or so ago, of course she was thinner at one point. I don’t think she looks unhealthy. She’s overweight propably yes, but her skin and hair look good, she’s not obese, honestly i don’t even think she’s all that big. (Of course compared to most celebs she is.) She still has a waist, and most of her fat is in the thigh area, which isn’t nearly as dangerous as the fat stored to the belly area. Sooooo… i think she kinda looks cute here. Other than that, i wouldn’t say anything without knowing her lifestyle better.
Those jeans do not look comfortable…
oh my… i’m now tempted to actually go see her live to see what she looks like in person.
no weight gain but no loss either as far as i can see!
she didn’t gain, i think. i guess we might be under the illusion she gained because of that horrid magazine cover where she got photoshopped into the this megan fox-like body. she probably weighs the same as she always has (by always, i mean in the past 5 years or so…)
this isn’t necessarily unhealthy. if she does workout and eats healthy foods ocasionally, she may not lead the ideal healthy lifestyle, but can still be healthy… people within the “normal” weight range can smoke, do drugs, drink… definately not healthy. there’s MUCH more than meets the eye…
Still looks the same to me. I think she’d look a lot better if she chose different outfits. Her pants always look painted on, and that flatters no one, no matter what your size. It’s almost as if she refuses to buy new clothes to accommodate her weight gain.
FAT!!! sorry! x
Girl just needs Gok Wan in her life.
Her boobs are tiny for someone who is overweight.
HAHA @ Tiny Dancer- she really DOES need Gok to fix her!!
Aw Kelly. I love her unconditionally.
It breaks my heart
It’s a shame because she is so cute in many ways but she really needs to lose a significant amount of weight, first and foremost for health and secondly because she would look so much better.
aside from obvious health issues, if shes happy at this weight then thats all that matters. but i think there are better and more flattering ways to dress
sorry, but that is just to much weight, it hurts my eyes.
I`m a big fan of her, her album “breakaway” is one of my alltime favourites, I can hear it again and again and nearly every song of it was a hit here in Germany.
Sorry what I have to say is really mean but I would`nt spend money on concert ticket on a artist looking like that. If I’m going to a concert I want the complete package: a good voice, great songs, a little bit of show, and somebody I like to look at! At least she should wear clothes not that tight.
I agree that her hair and skin look healthy, although she is the biggest I’ve seen her. I really do not like her new hair colour at all. I love her though; no matter what she looks like. I just hope she is truly happy.
There’s no way to be sure she’s unhealthy from a pic but she does not look good. She’s got a beautiful face, it’s a shame she doesn’t seem to care about her body.
@Schnucki: Don’t people usually go to concerts to hear their favourite music live? I don’t think that the way the artist looks like does make the music and better or worse.
oh my…
you can tell she is were spanx… she has no muffin top
*any. sorry.
Eh, I guess being overweight won’t ever affect her singing voice or her career. Maybe just her health.
She is clearly over weight, however, I am not a physician and therefore cannot assess whether she is healthy or not. I just know I wouldn’t feel comfortable with that much extra weight. I’m going to go run now! She has a beautiful face and face tho.
*beautiful face and voice
Lots of people want to give her props for not falling into the super-skinny trend but society should not applaud her for gaining a lot of weight. She has done it in a short period of time which may mean that she has a binge-eating disorder which is VERY dangerous and unhealthy.
Such a shame, she had such a good career in front of her, to damage it by being overweight. In her American ‘Idle’ days, she was very cute. She could have lost a few pounds, but being attractive certainly helped her gain popularity. After she won, there was Kelly Clarkson everywhere. Now you don’t see her much anymore like you did, you see Carrie Underwood taking the fame. I’m sure she would not have won if she looked like this. It is unthinkable wining, but it is more unthinkable throwing your career away and health because you can’t control your eating.
@TINYDANCER whats Gok Won?? lol
Kelly is one of my favorite singers and I admire her talent. She has gained alot of weight over the past year and it shows in her hips and face especially. I don’t know if she’s happy at this weight but if she is then good for her. But I personally would be miserable if I was at the weight she is. Anyway, I still love her and will always be a fan.
She let her health go…
Why does she even bother to wear makeup? She should worry more about her health and her size than making her eyes look bigger.
WOAH!! How is it even possible for her to get even more big!?!? She looks HUGE!!!
How could she let herself get that big!? Does she not care about her health?? She just looks all around terrible!
Funny thing – I’ve thought here’d be some positive comments already.
Because I think she looks gorgeous and usually I’m more like the “she’d look better slimmer”-type. Call me nuts but I love her outfit and I think it’s really flattering despite her weight =D
I’m not one to usually bash on celebrities–I think Kim/Khloe Kardashian have great bodies despite being “bigger” because they look like they work out and attempt to eat healthy. But it seems Kelly doesn’t even do that, which is not a great example for young girls. Also, I think it’d be hard if she’s out of shape to put on a great show for her fans.
you know it’s bad when you start confusing kelly osbourne with kelly clarkson
STOP commenting about her health! So you think someone that is thin is healthier? Lindsay Lohan, really? I have had high chlesterol all my life, even when I was a teenager and was skin and bones!
@ aimdawg, Gok Wan is the host of the British show How To Look Good Naked, and he is a genius!!
She is clearly overweight – she has a double chin, neck rolls and belly rolls hanging over jeans, which are way too tight. Maybe some people think she looks good like this – I don’t. But she’s clearly overweight – there’s no debate about that.
Ok you little uneducated tweens, let me tell you a few things:
1. If you open your eyes you will see that she carries most of the pounds around her hips. The risk factors for developing other diseases are higher for people who gain weight in their midsection.
2. These are a set of very unflattering pictures and I’m sure she doesn’t look as “huge” in reality as she does here. Stage pics are the worst.
3. She doesn’t look too have gained any weight. People keep saying this every single time a new post is made about her. If it was true, she’d look like half the equator by now.
all of a sudden I feel like playing Hungry Hungry Hippos. Love that game!
@Schnucki: it doesn’t sound mean, it sounds shallow. Sorry, but if you like an artist’s music you should not worry about what the artist looks like. I guess this comes from your age, maybe you should ask your parents what kind concerts they go and then have a look at the artist himself. I am a big fan of Amy Winehouse and just because she’s not looking her best at the moment would never stop me from going to one of her concerts.
Love her voice.
Honestly I find it such a shame to see her this big. She has such an amazing voice, and I think she should lose a lot of weight. Not to be super skinny, but healthy. I think she looks really bad at this weight, she is so pretty and talented, its not good to see her this overweight.
I think she’s a pretty girl and she looks cute.
Why is she doing this to herself? She looked so good in her video “Since you’ve been gone”.
She’s definitely gained more. I almost didn’t recognize her. She’s not as attractive as she once was.
She’s pretty large. I know it’s hard to be healthy, but if she just exercised a bit more she could eat more of what she wanted and look better too. She just looks so untoned.
I am surprised that there was not a carrie underwood post today.
Disturbing. She’s gained at least 50lbs since the start of her career. Someone who gains that much weight is not happy.
She could look so cute – even at a higher weight – if she just dressed for her size.
unhealty and obese, she should do something with herself
oh my good god! not good!
oh no!!
How and why did you put this in overweight. These are bad pics and she is definately not thin in reality but even though she is chubby, i am sure her BMI will not class as overweight but on the higher or middle end of normal. Someone with BMI overweight looks much much different. She obviously doesn’t work out a lot but does she have to?? She maybe eating something she likes without caring about the calories. What’s the difference.
lol @ em
I fail to see how this is sad or disturbing. I understand she’s not super skinny.. but she’s obviously very happy and successful, isn’t that all that matters?
poor kelly!
she is just gaining weight,and not loosing!
i love her,love her songs,she had a nice figure!
I think it’s hilarious that there are people here who are commenting that she is so fat which makes her ugly. When did being overweight = being ugly? There are a lot of larger women I know who are absolutely beautiful and I am not talking from the inside. Also why are people saying she is unhealthy. Are you her doctor? I’m about 20lbs overweight and I go to the gym everyday and I can say that I could probaly out run (pace and duration)and out lift a woman half my size. Just because you are overweight does not mean you are unhealthy. Kelly Clarkson has always had trouble with her weight even when she was on American Idole.
I think she looks great. She hasn’t gained weight from the last time, she’s about the same and if she’s happy that’s all that matters. She’s a singer she’s not a Victoria Secret model her talent is not measured by what her pant size is but her ability to sing.
How can anyone not see this as overweight? When you say that Kim K, Megan Fox, Rihanna, Beyonce etc. (in other words, anyone who isn’t a bag of bones) need to lose weight, that is nonsense. THIS is overweight, no two ways about it.
If she always had been this way it woudn’t be sad and disturbing, it would be just a natural curvy girl, but we all know she was thin (in a health look). That’s why people are sad, because something happened to her (her eating habits changed, some disease , depression, e.d.) I don’t know.
Yes, she carries her weight around her hips…and her belly and waist and her legs and her behind and her arms and her face. She is shaped almost like a ball. As far as if she is healthy or not, who knows? Personally, it is not much less attractive than the emaciated, gaunt, bony women on here, just on the other end of the spectrum.
even though she is very very overweight I still love her. she is a great singer. if she is happy this way then more power to her.
OK, she’s definitely overweight, but I think she’s cute regardless! Nice face and all. I actually would happily trade my belly for her hips….. She could stand to lose some weight, but she really doesnt look bad considering…..
The t-shirt Kelly’s wearing is adorable, tho way too tight. She’s gained an alarming amount of lbs. Hope she’s able to drop some tonnage for her sake, I love her voice.
Oh come on, she’s clearly overweight. Ugly, no. But you can’t deny the fact she’s overweight.
Her thighs are bigger than many peoples stomachs. She may not be obese but she is overweight.
Yes, she’s overweight; but, I still love her voice and think she’s cute.
now this is a fat girl. a lot of people say celebs like rihanna are fat— no no no, she’s curvy. this girl here is FAT. no question.
I realize she’s on tour and all but it IS possible to get into shape during that time. She’s got a decent amount of money, she can get a personal chef to manage her meals and a treadmill (if she doesn’t have time to jog outside). She just looks like she’s not taking care of herself.
god. damn.
@ Lauren
She has a small top because she’s pear-shaped. This particular shape is harder to tone, and any weight gain is obvious. I’ve personally never like her shape, but to each her own.
I think if she wore anything other than jeans or trousers she would look middleaged fat, she doesnt have lumps and bumps so tight clothes are good on her
AGREE about the treadmill comment, if everyone could afford one theyd lose weight quicker or atleast look more toned!
Not the most flattering pics.
Still a pretty girl and great voice.
Seriously, I think props to her for having a successful career that isn’t based on wearing skimpy costumes and prancing around in 5″ heels on stage. How many people can manage to do that nowadays?
Man, I would love to have a treadmill.
Obviously she’s overweight. To all those people arguing that weight is not an indicator of health — why, YES, it is. An overweight person who exercises and eats healthy would still be much healthier if they were within a normal weight range. We shouldn’t praise her for not taking care of her body. People judge anorexia so much more harshly. Is being overweight/obese really any better?
i just like how she always seems to have a stain on her clothes.
I know that Kelly employs her friends to do her hair, makeup, and clothes. I say that they are not her true friends, but simply yes people. If they were her friends than she would know that her style is awful. Her weight gain is making her look older too! I too, love her songs and am sad that she is ignoring everyone but her so-called friends.
Im all for girls being curvy and healthy and i know i cant tell if shes healthy by looking at a picture. But its beginning to look like she doesnt even care at all anymore.
@Epipihany:AMEN!! you have to wonder if the weight is a result of a binge eating disorder, which is just as serious as anorexia/bulimia. Its just an emaciated girl on this site gets accused of anorexia and is judged twice as harshly.
@Schnuckiyou dont go to a concert to see a beautiful musician, you go for the music. I mean think about lady gaga, she looks horrendous and scary at some of her concerts but ppl still go.
well girls, i am pretty much thinking the same way you all are: she looks big, and unhealthy, and i would NEVER want to look like this. BUT i do like her, and i hope this is just a phase for her, and she starts to get healthy again. i think she’s one of those girls who as they get older they REALLY have to watch what they eat and work out more. i think she will realize this, hopefully soon.
First, as a guy, I think she is beautiful. She doesn’t dress well for her figure but she would be stunning in a well tailored dress.
Second, I think she’s lost weight, actually. She looks a little thinner than recent photos on this site.
Third, weight gain can be from a number of factors–not unhappiness necessarily. The important thing is that she is inherently a beautiful woman, no matter what her weight is.
i think she is fat becoz she is rich
and she used to be so thin
She needs a break from skinnyville, she will loose the weight eventually. She is beautifull regardless of how big she is.
even though she is very overweight i still love her! if she is happy this way then let her be!
omfg sick if you compare her to how she was in the beginning…
height and weight anybody?
She’s definately overweight, but she’s still a cutie.
I’m proud of her for still getting up on stage and sharing her talent. I would have become a recluse by now.
I’m confused. Why does no one ever say these things about Mo’Nique or Queen Latifa. Both are talented women and no one would ever mention their weight or their health because we focus on their talents. Kelly is a very talented girl and her weight is her own business. My opinion on her body doesn’t matter; people are still buying her records and she is still a millionaire.
ew
She must eat an ASTOUNDING amount of calories a day…she is on tour constantly, right? So the sound check, and then the hour of singing and bouncing around on stage with all those hot lights on you, that is one HELL of a workout…to be GAINING weight while getting a workout like that almost every day, you must be eating like a pig…
I actually think she might have lost a little weight. Her arms don´t look as big here as in earlier pictures.
she’s obviously overweight for her height..I don’t understand with all the money she has she can easily get a nutritionist and trainer…I mean she has got to start somewhere..I’d just like to see her ‘healthy’…this isn’t about ‘BBW ARE CONFIDENT’ she is NOT healthy! I think anyone could see that
WOW i guess the only ppl around her really are YES PPL.
doesn’t she look in the mirror.
i would rather die than be an overweight celebrity, its bad enough being normal and carrying around an extra 10-15lbs, but she looks absolutely GIGANTESQUE
i seriously hope she drops that weight and fast, not cute, NOT healthy and NOT at all a good example for little girls looking up to her.
NO ONE SAYS you gotta be a size 2 Kelly, size 20 is GROSS , hit the treadmill and bring you size down to a single number! thanks.
take a cue from lily allen
She is so pretty! That doesnt have anything to do with your weight. Of course you can be pretty being overweight! Please ppl…
But she is overweight and I dont know if shes happy with the way she looks. You dont have to be unhappy just because you gain weight.
My opinion is that she should wear clothes that are more flattering to her figure.
And god bless her vocal cords!
looks the same to me weight wise – i dont see a gain
she is an amazing talent – her health is between her & her doctor.
i think those who endlessly bash her should look within themselves
She is a fabulous singer
I think she is cute and I like hips. : )
yeah shes pretty fat now. shes still somewhat hot but boy does she like that fried chicken.
I think she gained the weight, from problems with her record company. And bad sales. She said she could quit singing anytime. If that said, why the weight gain, she must be unhappy. She wasn’t this size when she won american idol
I’ve never found her face pretty, and I still don’t. Nor do I find her singing great.
@kaila: Dramatic much?
@EM: Good point, i agree there is a double standard. Just like when men gain weight its no big deal but if a woman gains a pound its headline news!
she looks like cabbage patch doll-meets troll doll. im sorry i can’t be nice alllll the time. *my bad big guy upstairs*. ok but seriously the reason why, @ em is because queen latifah actually bathes. i mean really, kelly reallllly let herself go. i feel like she literally rolls out of bed…….
oh dear this is out of control…she can’t blame this on being on the road and having to eat fast food and such because this is clearly the result of emotional eating/binging….i hope she fixes whatever is causing her overeating
my first thought was, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! i can’t believe how fat she is now, and yes, she IS fat now..
so sad
if shes happy well good for her but i don’t think she looks very healthy. quite a shocking change compared to the last 5 years. still really like her, she seems genuine and she has a great voice
I give her props for not giving a crap, like pretty much all the other celebrities. She doesn’t feel the need to be stick thin, and seems very content where she is. Otherwise we all know she has an abundance of resources to help her loose weight. Maybe she will choose to do so in the future, but for right now, I think she is just fine. No she isn’t skinny, but really, who cares. I think nowadays, that shouldn’t be such a bad thing. Just for health reasons though, I hope she is eating healthier….
She reminds me of my pre-weight-loss self. I hope she’s at least making baby steps towards a healthy lifestyle, because she looks to me as though she’s slowly inching her way towards obesity.
I’m sorry but she cannot be healthy! Her hair and skin could look great because of hair dye, hair stylists, and stage makeup. She is too heavy for health. She wasn’t this big on American Idol. If she was always a big girl I could see her shape as being “normal” but she has gotten a lot larger. I don’t follow her music though so these pics came as a huge surprise!
I don’t consider her “curvy”. She’s just plain fat. You would think being in the public eye, she would want to look her best. Especially with easy access to personal chefs, fitness trainers, etc. She’ll obviously never be a rail thin girl and that’s great of her to accept that but isn’t there such a thing as being too complacent as well? She just projects an image of unhealthiness and looks completely unpresentable.
omg what has she done to herself
@Schnucki: ppl lik u realy piss me off.. shes healthy and happy so what else matter?? quote by kelly “When people talk about my weight, I’m like ‘You seem to have a problem with it. I don’t. I’m fine!”
she a role model to alot of young girls, not lik these other size zero celebs who get by on a carrot a day and hav young ppl starvin themselves to look lik them!! kelly rocks no matter what size she is!!
so Schnucki if you ‘wouldnt spend money on an artist lik that’ DONT.
