It's posts like this and the one in your link that cause so many female celebrities to become anorexic. I can't imagine what's it's like to have thousands of strangers calling you fat every time you noticeably gain weight.

It's not like she gained 5 pounds and I'm criticizing her. That would be stupid. But you're saying that we should all keep quiet and hide the truth when someone looks big or overweight?

I'm not denying her talent at all either. She's probably my favorite female singer.

She is unhealthily overweight. for her own health's sake she needs to lose weight. If people calling her fat "makes" her become anorexic (a ridiculous notion), then she puts too much stake into what other people think about her. She really did pork out though! :p

It's a good thing you're not a doctor. :roll:

Are you implying she isn't unhealthily overweight? Check out the pic, that is NOT in shape. The size she was at over the past few years has been healthy.

Well, that concept went out the window when MTV came on the scene. Ever since, looks matter more than talent.

She wasn't ever in danger of being close to attractive in the first place. I don't think she looks any different than she did on American Idol. She's just... ugh. Barf.

You can talk all you want, you can call her fat, say you don't like her music... At the end of the day, this chick is more successful than any of us. She gets paid millions of dollars to travel around the world and entertain massive crowds. Yup, she's fat, but she's fat, happy and successful. I think I'd trade being skinny and broke for that (not that I'm either)...

That said, she's fat. Boooo!

how do you know she's happy? i bet all that traveling would wear on you. i think being famous would suck. i'd rather be a skinny broke regular shmoe.

Yea, pop stars totally exist because of their 'talent', not their marketability, looks, etc. Kelly Clarkson sounds like the average karaoke singer at the local bar when they have their monthly karaoke contest. If all anyone ever listened to was pop music, I don't think that the world would realize that fat, ugly, or really anyone who doesn't look like a model can actually sing.
