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.”
