Stop givin' Kelly so much crap, m'kay?

Stop givin' Kelly so much crap, m'kay?

Much has been made about the fact that Kelly Clarkson has supposedly gained weight.

Here is a picture of her singing at a recent show.


Now while she's not built like your average anorexic chart-topping pop-tart, she is far from being "fat." In fact she looks pretty damn good to me. Give a girl a break, and stop trying to force every fucking celebrity to drain themselves to twig-level in order to be viewed as attractive (See also: Lily Allen (another one who is far from being overweight) and her recent breakdown vis a vis her self-image as it has been influenced by industry expectations.)

People, I understand sex sells, but I don't believe that what is "sexy" can be so narrowly defined. I think Kelly Clarkson is super-sexy, and I think that's so because, yes, she's cute, but she also has a charisma that's addictive (I think it's what some call "star power) and she's unbelievably talented in the vocal department and I think it's all those things and a number of other intangibles that actually makes her so freaking hot.

I'm trying to put all this in a non - "sensitive - dude - who - respects - the - ladies" manner since that's not where I'm coming from. (Even though I am reasonably well mannered and sensitive when it comes to that sort of thing, I also understand that sometimes sexy is just sexy and devoid of and sort of pragmatic distancing.) I really do think Ms. Clarkson is hot in an "if - I - was - single - I'd - TOTALLY - chat - her - up" sort of way. Anyway, I'm just tripping over my own words at this point, aren't I? So I'll let it go. But I will say this; next dude who decides to call Kelly fat is getting it.

M4A: Kelly Clarkson "Never Again"

UPDATED: Hear brief interview with Kelly on KIIS FM wherein she speaks about Clive and her love of Guitar Hero.
