OlderKelly Clarkson “Elle Magazine” July 2007
Who is that and what have they done with Kelly Clarkson?
On never having said “I love you”: “I love my friends and my family. But I have never said the words ‘I love you’ to anyone in a romantic relationship. Ever.”
On the the many unflattering paparazzi photos: “I’m fine with it. I just don’t care. I don’t wear makeup in public. I don’t worry about what I’m wearing. Hell, I wore pajamas to high school.”
On being flat-chested and her fluctuating weight: “I have no boobs. (laughs. I go in and out. (points to her middle, then her hips) Greek.”
On how it sucks to me young and female: “I’ve sold more than 15 million records worldwide, and still nobody listens to what I have to say. Because I’m 25 and a woman.”
On refusing to sing her single “Never Again” on Idol Gives Back: “My label wanted me to sing ‘Never Again.” And I was like, To promote yourself on a charity event is beyond crass. People are starving and dying and I’m up there singing some bitter pop song? And believe me, everyone wanted me to sing it. Because they are jaded and they have no soul. Imagine sitting in a room full of people totally against you. Can’t they hear themselves speaking? Capitalize on AIDS? Are you kidding? Insulting an entire nation of people? I just refused.”

Stupid fatty!
she looks less thick than usual, mabye she’s been dieting but yeah she looks much better x
oh no! =X
Not to be mean but whose body did they put her head on. She must of taken these pics a long time ago since on the idol show she looks very big in the hips. Just wondering
I really hate it when people with extra pounds get their nickers in a bunch when people call them fat, “happy & healthy just the way they are” bs…but then allow photoshopers to drop all the weight for them!!!
THAT IS NOT THE REAL KELLY CLARKSON!
oh..and on a side note…she needs to get laiid…sorry…but what she sings is full of man hate…somebody make her happy ASAP!
Ewww @ 2nd pic.
she looks gorgious ******* lay off
I DON’T THINK THE PICTURES WERE AIRBRUSHED.
But if they were…
Do you really think, after all the stuff they said about her in the article, that she would ask them to airbrush her pictures? Hell no. That would be all on the magazine’s shoulders.
She is a fat troll Teddybeerz… deal with it.
Let’s see if any of you will accomplish half of what she has at the age of 25 or if over if you ever will. She is not fat. Even if she was fat when is being fat a crime? When did being fat equate w/ bad character? She is a very intelligent, concerned for others, woman. You people need to grow up.
people seriously need to grow the **** up
shes a true role model
Since when is a woman with hips and maybe a little thigh unattractive? No not everyone was meant to be Marilyn Monroe, but shapelessness is not where its at for everyone either. I can’t argue that a gut is not the hot on anyone male or female, but to talk about her hips? Come on.
Heard about this article already, but I wanted to come by and see how you were posting about it.
I’m fine with the way JJ is handling this, but for the love of cheese (or soy, for the lactose-intolerant), at least tone down the negativity.
I mean sure, you can say you don’t like the pictures or whatnot, but to openly degrade and belittle Kelly? C’mon, show some class. Unless you prefer to act the same as some of the chauvanist, money-centered pigs at her label.
It’s your choice. God (or Allah, or whatever) help you.
Props to her for not giving a rat ass what she looks like when she’s out, but apparently My December is supposed to be very very bad.
Hey just jared
Do you know if kelly is on the cover or if it just a interview? PLease answer, dying to know
Kay thanks!!!
Thank you JJ for the pics and link to the whole article. Kelly has so much character and integrity, not to mention talent and yes looks. The writer got all of that so hopefully others _reading_ will too. It’s easy to say you’re all for the music and not for money. It’s another thing to actually turn down 10 mil to do the music you feel and believe in. Go Kelly! I can’t wait for my Elle in the mail.
Kelly is the BESSSSSSST & I Love her!
NEWS FLASH TO Y’ALL: You can say what you want to say about Kelly, as Kelly said in this article SHE DOESN’T CARE AND NEITHER DO HER FANS! We know how great Kelly is and its ashame you don’t. MoRoNs!
I think she looks great! Not so much for the butch look in that one pic~ Whether ppl like her or not, they should still respect the fact that she didn’t want to profit off of the charity Idol. That’s class.
People don’t ‘allow’ the Photoshopping of their pictures. It’s part of the industry (that should be thrown out) and it’s beyond their control for the most part. They show up, get made up and have their photograph taken- that’s the extent of their participation. Magazines want to sell, plain and simple. ‘Ugly’ celebs only sell when they’re put forward that way (’Celebrities Without Makeups: What They Really Look Like’)
It’s bullshit and it’s stupid, but there it is. People who think the celebrities control it are wrong. People who think the pictures aren’t airbrushed are wrong. That’s Kelly- as Elle wants us to see her and hear her.
Have you ever seen that episode of Ugly Betty where they want to airbrush the woman’s character down at least four sizes in her picture? It’s what they do in the fashion industry. Especially at big magazines like Elle and Vogue I would imagine.
I dont give a crap about what she looked like in the pictures it was her interview that sucked!
On how it sucks to me young and female: “I’ve sold more than 15 million records worldwide, and still nobody listens to what I have to say. Because I’m 25 and a woman.”
Or maybe no one listens to you cause they dont have respect for you.
On refusing to sing her single “Never Again” on Idol Gives Back: “My label wanted me to sing ‘Never Again.” And I was like, To promote yourself on a charity event is beyond crass. People are starving and dying and I’m up there singing some bitter pop song? And believe me, everyone wanted me to sing it. Because they are jaded and they have no soul. Imagine sitting in a room full of people totally against you. Can’t they hear themselves speaking? Capitalize on AIDS? Are you kidding? Insulting an entire nation of people? I just refused.”
Most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. So all the famous singers who performed at live aid to rase awarness for africa are crass.. and instead of trying to make a difference your just going to hate on it.
Wow, so when someone’s not anorexically skinny, they’re considered fat? That’s sad. Really, really sad. Kelly is NOT fat, and why would it matter if she was, anyway? And Anna is right. Kelly has no say in whether she is Photoshopped or not.
2 ALL U HATERS…. GET A LIFE….CUZ U ONLY SAY RELLY FUCKED UP THINGS BECUZ U DON’T LIKE WAT U C WEN U LOOK URSELF IN DA MIRROR …. SO STOP JUDGING MY GIRL KELLY CLARKSON CUZ U’LL NEVER BE AS TALENTED ND AS BEAUTIFUL AS SHE IZ.
SO LK MY UM SAYS UNLESS U’VE GOT SUMTHING NICE TO SAY DNT SAY ANTHING …..AT ALL…..ND SHE IS NOT FAT…..SY ANTHING **** ND U’LL HV ME TO ANSWER 2….ONCE AGAIN …GET LIFE…SHUT DA HELL UP…
The first picture is photoshopped to hell, her arms look really wrong, fat on the inside and very slim on the outside.
besides that, she isnt fat, I dont mind her music, at least she can sing. I dont really have much of an opinion on her other than i cant understand why people would hate her. she’s harmless and seems to be a nice girl all in all. maybe its just jealousy.
oh wow, seriously who gives a crap about how she looks like? She’s just a person, she shouldn’t be an image of perfection, she’s fine. You guys should get a life and stop trashing every celebrity who’s not a barbie doll, like you’re any better.
WOW she has neve experienced love .. kind of sad. I think she rocks and has tons of talent and obviously morals to go along with it .. good for her!
Why does everybody use ‘of’ when they mean to say ‘have.’
Can someone please explain this to me?
“She must of taken these pics a long time ago…”
It should be “She must HAVE taken these pics a long time ago.”
When you say the sentence it sounds like of, but the word is actually have.
Sorry, this is just a pet peeve of mine. I see people make that mistake on here all the time, and it’s like nails on the chalkboard to me. I’m not perfect, or anything, by the way.
Oh my….how hypocritical…she says that she doesn’t care what people say about her weight but then she puts pictures in the magazine that are photoshopped. Those pictures are not of her. We just saw her a week or so ago singing live and she does not look like that. They have slimmed her down by at least 30 lbs in that picture. I persoanlly don’t care how much she weighs but why not put a picture that isn’t retouched in the magazine.
I usually don’t acknowledge the ingnorant comments that are posted but for all of you who call her a “fatty” or suggests that she asked for her pics to be touched up, this comment is for you.
You ignorant a$$ children. First of all, heavy doesn’t equal unhealthy! I’m overweight and every check up I have, cholesterol, glucose level, heart, all excellent. And I look good! Sometimes people need help to lose weight and did you know that unless you have health problems, the doctors in the real world of everyday people will NOT perscribe you a DAMN thing nor will most insurance companies cover it if they do?! Then they tell you that the stuff over-the-counter is really not good for you and will probably cause health problems.
Not everyone in this world is meant to be a size 0. If you would for once READ what the girl has to say and not be such shallow a$$ d!*k$, you would notice that she has a good heart and a lot of integrity.
Second of all, once a magazine takes shots of a celebrity, the celebrity signs over the rights of the pics to the magazine and the person has no legal right to tell them to modify or not modify the pics, hince the situation a while back with Brad Pitt in his boxers. The magazines are going to make the person appear in such a way to move the mags off the shelves,yeah, thats right, so that shallow d!*k$, like yourselves will only like what you SEE, and buy it! How ironic, right? Oh, sorry, you’re probably so ignorant that you don’t know what “ironic” means. Too bad! Get a dictionary! READ something for God’s sake!
I think Kelly is great. Some of her songs are filled with man-hate but maybe she is one of the few artists left in the world that sings about what they’ve actually experienced. I’m happy for her and her success and I hope she continues to keep it real.
