Kelly Clarkson defends her weight gain

If you have followed Kelly Clarkson’s career since when she won the first season of “American Idol,” you probably noticed how her weight fluctuates. 

Sometimes it’s way up, sometimes it’s way down.  Media critics have been critical of Clarkson’s weight as she makes her rounds on the circuit to promote her CD. 

In the latest issue of Self magazine, Clarkson responds to her critics.  She said “Of course celebrities have cellulite.  When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it.  I don’t. I’m fine.  My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more. sometimes I play more.”

For the record, I think the whispers about Clarkson’s weight is nonsense. Yes, she has gained a few pounds, but she isn’t obese. 

In Hollywood, she probably is considered to be fatso.  But in the real world, she’s actually considered skinny.
