Kelly Clarkson was bulimic

Kelly Clarkson says she used to be bulimic, and developed the eating disorder after she was passed over for a role in her high school musical. She tells CosmoGirl:

“I thought…If I came back and I’m cuter and thinner…then I’ll get the role.” For six months, Clarkson was bulimic, until a friend discovered her problem. “One of my guy friends caught on to it, and I just felt so ashamed and embarrassed,” she tells the mag. “I literally went cold turkey and snapped out of it.”

Ahh, high school. I see. So she’s no longer bulimic. Because I was about to say … you know … *casually walks away while whistling*

    i don’t think peoples’ proportions change when they gain or lose moderate amounts of weight. why is “body type” strange?

    That’s weird, I thought I saw recent pictures of her, and hasn’t she gained a bunch of weight? Not judging or anything, I mean that’s fine with me. I don’t have to sleep with her. If you read this Kelly, DO NOT start purging again. Gives you bad breath!

    long time no talk, frist

    purging also makes you sallow and flaccid, and it’s unsustainable.

    why didn’t she just hit the gym twice a week for a few months?

    She is NOT FAT at all. I dont see cellulite, rolls or a belly. she’s just not super skinny. Part of the reason people become bulimic is because of comments like this.

  18. schack | June 21, 2007 at 2:45 pm

    i don’t think so, celia. the reason people become bulimic is because they take extreme pleasure in overpowering and torturing people, namely, themselves.

    Kelly, is my girl! She look’s great! Of course all of the skinny bitches, and ugly ones will have something to say about her! I think that if the water was in your face, you would probably make funny faces also! I think that her pipes are amazing! I love the new song! I don’t see anything wrong with her switching it up a little bit, on the music scene! Muthafuckas can’t stay the same all of their lives! I LOVE KELLY CLARKSON!

    “she’s not fat…maybe for hollywood’s standards…but it’s nice to see someone with a shape.”

    She looks like a very thin and unattractive woman that was stretched fat. There is no shape to her such as an hourglass figure and she definitely is fat. It is quite remarkable that she is so tubby yet not at all curvaceous. That body does nothing for a man. Sex with her would be a fitting punishment for minor crimes.

    Number 9, do you live in a fantasy world where people are nice and happy and love one another? Last I checked, I was on the Internet and at thesuperficial, a site based on derision and scrutiny of the stupid things that famous people say and do.

    well, shack, if you identify with the people you love, and the people you love hate and disparage you, then you identify with an attitude that hates you, too.

    so celia is right; when young men and women make horrible comments, that narrative is internalized in a process of identification (“looking up to someone”) and results in a poisonous psyche

    it all depends who you look up to, then, by you r own logic. and looking up to people who like to disparage others already means you have a predilection for overpowering and torturing. so, you are right, but you miss the fact that she acts out on herself symbolically because she cannot fulfill the fantasy of being powerful, glamourous and disinterestedly malicious.

    she tortures herself because she doesn’t have what it takes to be the evil person she would love to be.

    Wow. Do most of you peeps have lives of your own? I’d love to see how you measure up against an incredibly normal-looking human being having fun at the beach. I love this website, but man, so many of the commenters have really fucked up views of what is good/beautiful/acceptable/normal. You’re all so brainwashed to think that women who are so Hollywood thin are normal. They ain’t. Kelly looks incredibly normal and healthy there. If she wants more in the boobage area, there are nice padded bras to wear. When you’re having fun at the beach, who gives a fuck? And who should, frankly?

    She’s not fat. She just has a box-shaped body. And yeah, her weight fluctuates a lot, but so does… everyone’s. Sure, it’s an unflattering picture. But it illustrates the article and gets reactions. That’s why it’s up there. I think she was cuter during the Idol days, but I still think she’s got a great voice.

    Have you ever noticed how overweight woman will ALWAYS defend someone else who is overweight as “Normal” because they HAVE to believe they are also “Normal” and not some fat obeses slob that can’t stop themselves from eating(genetics right?). But At the very same time, they do the opposite to
    other woman saying they are “skinny”, because skinny is a bad word for fat people. No wonder we so many fat people, stop eating for christ sake!
