I can't imagine why eating disorders and negative body perceptions are such problems for so many young women. Omg. You know what is also a problem? Is someone being borderline obese. That is just as unhealthy as someone who is super skinny and starving themselves. People need to stop acting like people are in here calling Jessica Alba fat. If that were the case then YES, I could see that attributing to negative body perceptions, but to sit here and say that Kelly is overweight and unhealthy is the truth....people shouldn't say being overweight is unhealthy? Actually, (and I'm sure you're going to bring me one source on your side), being "borderline obese" and starving yourself are NOT always equally unhealthy. I'm sure that being overweight for many people exacerbates certain conditions, but starving oneself is ALWAYS dangerous.

I'm definitely not implying that is what Kelly is going through, but I'm definitely saying NONE OF US know anything about what's going on with her personally. Goddamn. Basically, this. Can we all stop talking about one person's weight now? I can't imagine why eating disorders and negative body perceptions are such problems for so many young women. Because people don't want to accept whats real. It's so unrealistic to think that no one is going to discuss someone that has gained a lot of weight. Be serious. Plus, it's JJB. I assume she didn't gain weight for fun and there might be something else going on with her. Whatever it is, I hope she takes care of it and is better. But if she's just gaining... oh well. She's a pretty girl. She's not morbidly obese...she's got some meat on her bones. So what? I hate to sound like I'm one of those assholes on here that think that people should be 5'10" and 90lbs but lately it seems like people think that in order to spare feelings you should totally ignore weight period. She's gained weight. Kelly's fluffy. She is fluffy. Say it with me, people... Kelly is FLUFFY. Sometimes people develop eating disorders because they don't have a good enough sense of self and the aren't secure about the way THEY are, whatever that may be. People become dysmorphic from listening to idiots talk about some bullshit idea of beauty and they have absolutely no self confidence because they can't see what's real and they have no personal security. That's fucked up...but you can't expect people to not be themselves just because people have eating disorders. I think putting an emphasis on skinny skinny skinny adds to the problem but I don't think discussing anyone's weight should cause such an uproar. A spade is a spade.

I'm definitely not implying that is what Kelly is going through, but I'm definitely saying NONE OF US know anything about what's going on with her personally. Goddamn. Which, and how so? I think being overweight and underweight are two different psychological illnesses, and should be handled as such. Just because we're commenting on Kelly Clarkson being overweight - and she clearly is - doesn't mean we all buy into Hollywood's body standards. I am overweight. I am also a recovering anorexic/bulimic. Could you tell by looking at me? No. Can you tell anything about Kelly's life by looking at her weight? No. You can only make rude and condescending assumptions. I don't think I'm being particularly rude, and I don't think I've made one assumption on how she managed to get to where she is now. Still, I'm not going to pretend she's okay. I don't know her story, but I know she's overweight and has the means to fix herself. I just hope for her sake she has the support system and mental fortitude. It's not easy, and I'd hate to give off the impression that I'm not sensitive to a person's struggles. Anyone looking to lose weight, Sparkpeople.com is a great place to start.

That's all I'm trying to figure out. People are offended and I don't really see why.

Also, why is it ok for people to jump all over a celebrity when they are stick thin, but not ok when someone is clearly overweight? Both are very unhealthy.

She needs to wrap it up. She looks sloppy. It would be one thing if she was carrying it well like Kelly Osbourne does now but she is not OR even the way she was before but this is out of control. Yes she has a great voice but her look right now matters and I don't care what anyone says. She is a pop star that would not have won if she didn't have that cute little waist way back when and went on stage and wore the crop shirts blah blah in addition to her VOICE but the cute factor played a large part. I'm not judging her but let's get real on the visual side of things she is short and stumpy and it isn't cute on her.

It's funny because it's okay to run other celebrites looks in the ground, but when someone mentions Kelly's weight, it comes to virtual blows. Weight aside, she really looks sloppy and sort of homegrown these days. There's a complete package that goes along with pop music, whether anybody wants to admit it or not. Presentation is part of the package. She needs a new hair/makeup/fashion team. Edited By: Batoutofheck 05/10/2009 2:38 AM. Edited 1 times.

I'm even shorter than her, and I'll tell you, it is really damn easy for short people to put on (noticeable) weight. I have to constantly work out and eat right because EVERYTHING shows. If I skip even a week of working out, it's noticeable. She definitely let herself go, but still...I don't really care. Who ever came up with the idea that music artists need to look like supermodels?

It's funny because it's okay to run other celebrites looks in the ground, but when someone mentions Kelly's weight, it comes to virtual blows. I understand it. The Spinny Demon touched upon it earlier. I think it's unsettling to a lot of people to comment on a girl who's overweight, because of the potential consequences. People just have to understand there's a right and wrong way to go about these things, just like there's a right and wrong way to broach the subject of alcohol or drug abuse. By ignoring it you're not helping that person.

People get offended if you say anything slightly negative about her. I guess since she has a great personality she's not up for criticism/scrutiny of any kind.

Just look at Kelly Clarkson's album cover...she does NOT look like that in the slightest. I don't care what a music artist looks like...I just want to hear them sing.

It might have been circa rocking the half shirts during the Breakaway days, but now I'd argue most of her appeal, other than her voice and music, is in being average/relatable. She can get away a lot more (less?) than other pop stars because of it.

Yeah okay. That goes against the laws of public relations and marketing and nobody says they have to look like supermodels but the aren't suppose to look like you at home on the couch when they are performing at an awards ceremony. They are suppose to look glossy and well put together. Blemishes and flaws are okay but she looks bad and its unacceptable with the kind of money she makes. Who is managing her? You know why you haven't seen her on the cover of magazines or she isn't getting the kind of love she used to get and why other actresses and singer who are even bigger than her get love? They know how to work with what they have. Jennifer Hudson is a big girl but she wrapped it up once she almost put her toe over the line.

I know anyone can trot out internet articles proving whatever point they want to make, but I'm going to do it anyway because I can: http://www.preventdisease.com/news/articles/081806_bmi.shtml
