Like Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson is sick of criticism over her weight.
"For seven years it's been happening. It's like, 'OK cool, the fat jokes,'" she said in an interview with 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia.
"I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people."
The original American Idol has also come under recent scrutiny over her sexuality. She says she doesn't care if people think she is a lesbian.
Her only complaint in that department: "The rumors are not helping me on the dating front! I prefer the boys. I'm extremely flattered when I do get hit on by girls, and I do think it's really hot, but I'm not into it. I like boys."
Fat or not, Kelly Clarkson said she's in no rush to find Mr. Right.
"I'm only 27, not 40 and still single! I enjoy being single, I love work and I think people are so passive with relationships and I'm not that person."
"I'm an extremist, I'm either in a relationship or I'm not. I'm honest about it and I'll tell people, it's just there's nothing to tell. I have a very good life."

I think that is very brave for Kelly Clarkson to stand up for her self about her weight. Personally i like her body because she is not skinny or fat. she is very ok and i think you dont have to be skinny because you are a celebrity. As long as you are happy with the way you are. Am proud of you Kelly

Well, Kelly... if you only started wearing things that don't make you look wide and shorter than you really are, maybe people would stop and you could be happy about yourself again.
A lot of celebrities have your shape and size and pull it off without wearing things pregnant women wear.

I agree with you Queenie. Its the terrible outfits she goes out to perform in or in public in. It makes her look unkempt and like she just rolled out of bed. She needs to be the next celebrity on What Not To Wear. Stacy and Clinton could do wonders for her. She is awfully cute and a fabulous singer.

She needn't worry about her weight. She's luvverly just as she is. Who needs to see a stick insect perform. All the best to her from an Ex Burleson resident.

Kelly...People dont know what they are talking about. You are beautiful and there is nothing wrong with you! I'm sure you will find the perfect man for you later in life. But right now, live your life! Dont listen to what other people say about you, most likely, they are jealous. God made you who you are for a reason. I have one reason.....to kick butt in singing and to make singing better than ever! Another is to make people realize what REAL singing is. Im 11 years old and get those "jokes" from my brother....I have to learn to ignore them! You do to! I figured out, if you act like you dont care, they will stop. After a few years that I got those "jokes" from him, I figured out that I'm not fat. Im just a full body girl. I just ignored him and he stopped. Just like that! Keep rockin' Kelly! And remember.....YOUR NOT FAT!!!!!!!!!
Your number one fan,

Im not the biggest fan of KC but i honestly love the way she stands up to herself , shes NOT fat ...she's curvy. and guess what Curves are in. The fact that everyone thinks singers should be stick thin is so anoying...people look up to singers...you want your daughter to grow up with all her bones showing??
