Kelly Clarkson

When Kelly Clarkson was first in the spot light on American Idol she was slim and in shape.  Since her appearance at age 20 the singer has had two children which could have played a role in her weight gain.   She faced multiple attacks in regards to her weight gain, an attack from Fox News anchor Chris Wallace stating she should stay off the deep dish pizza. The talented singer took to Ellen to talk about her verbal abuse, saying “I love how people think that’s new. Like, welcome to the past 13 years! [On ‘American Idol’], I wasn’t big, but people would call me big.”  Kelly tipped up on the scale but still looks great and kills it on stage.
