Quote of the Day
Filed under: Kelly Clarkson
"For seven years it’s been happening. It’s like, ‘Okay cool, the fat joke.’ I love my body, I’m very much okay with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, I think it’s the media who have a problem with it."
- Kelly Clarkson told Australia's Kyle and Jackie O Show this week

I agree with her. I think she looks fine!
Finally, someone who doesn't give in to pressure of being thin. She's a breathe of fresh air.
ohhhhhhh like if i give a f*ck
I think everyone has issues with their body sometimes. I absolutely love Kelly, but her saying she's totally ok with it is probably a half truth. I'm not saying she looks bad! I love her anyway she is. But pretty much all women have those issues.
ehhhhh
she still looks like she ate old kelly clarkson.
I think that is awesome that she is not letting the haters get her down. Not many people can say that. The media drags everyone down and its fucking great that someone can have enough strength to not let them do that. GO KELLY!!!
Good for her!
I think she looks gorgeous. Her body is maybe not at its healthiest point, but there's nothing wrong with it.
I agree with her, too. I think she's fine. Talent is all that matters.
i agree. if you're not a size 00, you're fat. wtf is that about? woot woot kelly ftw!
And why is this post worthy?. A girl is happy with her weight good for her NEXT!.
She could look like shit and I wouldn't care. Don't get me wrong I think she looks good. I'd rather see her with a big smile on her face than some hungry bitchy model.
She a great singer and that's all that really matters!
WAY TO FUCKIN' GO!
AMEN!
GOOD FOR HER!
so true. everyday you tell young girls to love themselves for who they are and to TRY to get a better healthy lifestyle. but then again we bash celebs who dont have the "ideal" body? such bs. we should encourage healthier lifestyles, but encourage to love yourself no matter what.
i had won front row seats for Z100's Zootopia concert and Kelly was one of the performers. Before she came out me and my boyfriend were talking about.. ohhh, i wonder how fat she's going to be… she looked huge on tv the other day, ect. When Kelly came out, she looked fine! She was a little bit thicker in the hips and thighs, but she wasn't some huge blob rolling out to the stage. We were like… Oh, thought she'd be bigger. lol. regardless, she sounded spectacular and was one of the best performances of the night! Do you, Kelly. We still love ya!
She's not fat, she's basically a normal average girl. It's not like she has a beer gut or thunder thighs, it's all proportional
Too right! Well done Kelly.
Way to go, Kelly! You are beautiful! The media is filled with a bunch of morons!
I don't have a problem with her weight, I have a problem with her outfit and hair! Get a stylist! There are lots of plus size women in Hollywood who are gorgeous. If you are in the public eye at least make an effort. You have the money!
good for her
Big Girls Rule!
I am 4'11 and 150 lbs. I love my 34DDD and my 30 inch waist and my luscious thighs and juicy bottie!
That is what happens when U let the white Media control shit.
Nobody cares how big Chrisette Michelle, Jill Scott, Angie Stone or Jennifer Hudson is because they have actual talent. And talent always trumps looks. Some of U probably have no idea who those beautiful are because all U read is Perez, USWeekly and People! That's ok.
Good for Kelly! The obsession for women to be pin thin in our country, even if they aren't genetically predisposed to it, is plain crazy. (and unhealthy) And why aren't men held to the same standards?
AMEN!! Kelly is an awesome talented singer. Her body has nothing to do with it. It's either you like her music or you don't! I love u Kelly!! you're beautiful inside and out!
Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!
Say what you want - But - You are Fat!
Look into the Issues that are the Root Cause Sweety!!
she's not fat…she just doesnt know how to dress to flatter her figure. Get that girl a stylist!
Re: Cali40 – It's only an excuse to people like who are brain washed by the media to have to be skinny. I know plenty of women who consider themselves Big and beautiful and my goodness more power to them. It's just a shame that they have to deal with people like you.
U GO GIRL MISS KELLY IS THE BEST SHE IS A GREAT SINGER AND A GREAT PERSON U CANT JUDGE PEOPLE ON HOW THEY LOOK LIKE
LOOK AT PEREZ HE LOST SOME WEIGHT BUT HE STILL IS A LOOSER
WHAT EVER
She's as "OK" with her body as Kim Kardashian was with her pre-surgery, body, nose, cheekbones, and lips.
Good for Kelly! Time for media to put a stop to these images that no one can live up to and promoting eating disorders.
i love her, i can care less about her weight.
horizontal stripes Kelly, always horizontal stripes!!!!
mario, you have posted an old pic of her wearing a crudy outfit. why are you, mario, constantly posting pics and posts of women on their weight problems? mario, you have had weight problems for years, one would THINK that you would have some compassion for others with weight problems. BUT, most of us know that you hate most women and THAT clouds your judgement on most things, mainly in the thinking area and compassion
Wow!! I'm even more in love with Kelly Clarkson now. It's an awesome statement that should be the mantra of more celebrities. If you put her next to any other girl out there, she'd look "normal". It's just that we're so used to seeing these UNREALISTIC size 0 celebs.
love her!
How about with their Lesbianism?
I think she's hot. And her voice is amazing.
SHE´S GREAT!
Good for her, she's awesome.
Good for Kelly! I love her voice and she's fine the way she is.
Right on Kelly, you gorgeous thing! It's so refreshing to hear about an empowered, strong woman in Hollywood who refuses to conform to the skewed and unhealthy "ideals". I think she looks great! What an inspiration!
……….
AMEN, Kelly!
……….
Well put Kelly…… It's the media including Mr. Perez Hilton. Who the f…uck is the media to tell me who's pretty, who's not, who's fat, who's not? As my The media needs to focus on important news…news about someone's weight hardly fits into that category…
As my mother always says: Opinions are like butt holes…everyone has one.
Re: Dirtaysouth – Well said….
Re: justtfax – You hit it right on the nose. I think Perez is just bitter that even after losing the weight..he still looks like crap. El mono aunque se vista de seda, mono queda. Look it up Perez…..
Sure she looks good now and has always looked good, but you can't deny she was actually hotter during her first year after winning American Idol.
Just google her pictures and you'll notice now she's more a cutie than a hottie!
good for her. . i never really considered her fat - but i guess when you compare her to other people - she looks like a balloon. I love kelly, always have.
good for her! she's gorgeous
Kelly looks beautiful .. but if she insists on loving her larger frame (I give her super size props) she may want to avoid the horizontal stripes…
She is, and always will be, the only woman I'd turn lez for.. no matter how big or little she is.
I freaking love her shes an amazing singer!
I give her kudos for not being stick skinny. She just needs to hire a stylist to help her dress HER body better. She does not make good fashion choices for her shape.
Kelly's weight has no bearing on how well she sings. That being said, this picture is old and she has probably gained 30lbs since it was taken. Girlfriend is extra large these days.
It's funny in that picture she looks like someone just said "It Dinnertime!", as she runs for her next meal. She's just a stocky person, she's not meant to be a size zero, just like you Perez.
Well, if your a big girl.. you are a big girl np … but to me it seems a bit lazy on Kellys part. She's in the spotlight and she would put down the cake!
Preach sista, preach.
She's not even THAT big. She looks good and healthy. And it doesn't really matter, because she's so amazingly talented that she'll never need to trade on her looks to get work anyway. Go Kelly!
Shes a fat slob. Put down the donut and grab a microphone!
U r hot just as you aree!!!
Ya shes talented and has great songs but gaining weight is not always good things to alot of people it isnt pleasing to the eye… and there are health issues that come with it. Im glad shes ok with herself and her weight but people need to promote a healthy life style.
awww I love her, she's beautiful*
totally agree1 if you have talent you do not need to have the perfect bod! if you're a singer you just need to be a good one!
after all wat is the perfect bod? if you're healthy that's what counts
and it's true is the media, if a magazine or perez or whatever doesn't say thta celebrity X is fat we wouldn't even notice
Words of wisdom
Sister K needs to teach LiLow how to eat a sammich.
good for her! she is beautiful and has a beautiful voice. so she's not the typical celeb body type, who cares? a lot of celebs are also anorexic, it's nice to see one that isn't
Kelly do your thing. Because we all know you can sing! She looks just fine.
what everyone thinks of you matters when your career depends on public opinion. if she wasn't a pop singer it wouldn't matter, but considering all she does is sing, she should probably look the part. if she was in a rock band or something it wouldn't matter. just saying.
I live in a State that is known for the fattest people in America - I'm sure you can guess…..and Kelly is downright anorexic compared to what I'm surrounded by here.
Being surrounded by the average fat American or not…she, to me, looks healthy, happy and thin enough - she's a very pretty young lady.
With a bigmac for a body, Kelly, you should have a problem with it. You're an eyesore.
Wow
Kudos to Kelly for being comfortable in her own skin. She seems like such a natural, "normal" girl - and SO talented. The girls I know who are super skinny are cranky as hell.
Leave her be, she doesn´t want to be stick thin so accept it! She looks good and she likes the size she so stop citisising her!
She's pretty and looks like she feels good!
Go girl!
Because of food….
I can't believe people care THAT much about someone's weight. I think she looks great.
i say good on her!
there's not enough celebs out there that have "real bodies"
no one should have to take crap for having curves..
she's an amazing artist and a great role model.
Way to go, Kelly! "For a moment like this…"
She looks great
i love her anyway she is
