Skinny VS Curvy

You will NOT believe this, but Kelly actually talks about how confident she is (good for her!) and about how weight is not a problem for her in this MEGA PHOTOSHOPPED magazine. Why? Why, Self Magazine? If Kelly is happy the way she is (and she says so in YOUR magazine), why send the opposite “No, your weight IS a problem” message with your super retouched cover?

Kelly Clarkson admits her size fluctuates in the September issue of Self mag.

“My happy weight changes,” the American Idol champ says. “Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more. I’ll be different sizes all the time.”

Clarkson, 27, says she doesn’t care though. (In June, she admitted she was tired of hearing “the fat joke” because she’d accepted her curves.)

“When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t,” she explains. “I’m fine! I’ve never felt uncomfortable on the red carpet or anything.”

The singer tells the mag she’s been working out with CrossFit, a strength training and cardio program used by police academies and military special operations, according to its Web site.

“I love it! It’s like boot camp,” she says. “You never work out more than 35 minutes, but it’s so intense. You do things like box jumps, then 50 sit-ups, then 50 squats and then running.

“Me, my backup singers and my hair-and-makeup girl do it together. They laugh at me, because most of the time they’re like, ‘Oh, my God, I don’t want to go,’ and I’m the one saying, ‘I’m ready!’” she goes on. “It makes me feel like GI Jane. It’s very empowering. I feel like I can whup a–! And in my shows, everybody has noticed. They’re like, ‘Dude, you have 100 percent more energy!’”

Here’s what OK! Magazine says:

In the wake of her heartbreaking split from Tony Romo on the eve of her 29th birthday earlier this month, Jessica Simpson has decided that the way to get the sweetest revenge on her former sweetheart is to sweat off some pounds at the gym.

“Right after Tony ended things, Jessica said, ‘I want my old body back,’” a friend of the singer reveals in the new issue of OK!. “She went into her kitchen, got a trash bag and started to clear it out.”

And getting rid of the bad food isn’t the only way she’s slimming down. Jessica has been spotted several times in the last two weeks heading to celeb trainer Harley Pasternak’s West Hollywood fitness center.

“Jess is serious about getting her body back into fighting shape,” her pal reveals to OK!. “Working out is helping to give her focus and clear her head. It’s better than sitting around moping or throwing pity parties with ice cream sundaes.”

And the results are already starting to show — Jessica, whose weight fluctuations have often been the subject of water-cooler discussion, dropped 10 pounds in just the first 10 days of working out!

“She doesn’t want to give anyone more reason to not take her seriously,” explains the pal. “She’s tired of weight being a talking point.”

To find out exactly how Jess is shedding the pounds — and who she’s turning to for support in this tough time — be sure to pick up the new issue of OK!; on sale everywhere Thursday!

Fact: Mariah Carey’s Album Cover Is a Little Photoshopped.

Proof: The boobs stayed big, but the waist got smaller, the arms got WAY thinner.

Page Six reported recently:

UNLIKE some starving show-business stars, Mariah Carey (above) celebrates her success with much-deserved meals. “Mariah loves food. Right now she’s making an album and eating everything and anything she wants. She has put on about 15 pounds, but she loves the curves,” said our source. Our tipster adds, “She’ll definitely tone up again when she releases her album, but as of now, she’s stuffing her face.”

Here’s Mariah a few weeks ago to compare:

So what do you all say?

To those of you who think that Gisele didn’t lose any weight… well here’s a hot & sexy Gisele in a shoot from the time when she was still working for Victoria’s Secret (so a few years ago). And:

* her shoulders were not angular / bony at all here, but they are now.

* she had a softer look all over

* even her face was slightly fuller

* her arms are slightly meatier, now they’re skinnier

* her bust seemed bigger

* her lower abdomen area (mainly rear) is much thinner now (in 2009) than it was when these pics were taken

* she was clearly thin here as well, but she was also curvier.

I’ve been asked to do a fast comparison between the Kelly Clarkson from a few years back and Kelly today, especially since she’s put on a visible amount of weight. I’m not a fan of reporting weight gain (unless it’s on Lindsay Lohan or Victoria Beckham), but take a look at the pics: on the left, Kelly at the lower end of her weight fluctuation range and on the left, Kelly a few days ago, while performing in a concert.

Here are 2 more pictures of Kelly when she was around her lowest weight:

Wow, she has an amazing figure in the black dress!

The only thing I’m gonna say is that this girl fluctuates a lot and that can’t be good for her. If I were her, I’d settle at a maintainable weight, even if a little higher than the ideal. What  do you all say?

See more pics of Kelly at her current weight after the jump!
