Kelly Clarkson Gets Photoshopped

by Betsy on Celebs

Just last week we saw Kelly Clarkson gracing the cover of the September issue of SELF Magazine.  Inside she said she was happy with her weight and thought that it’s other people who have issues about her weight.  However, that’s all good and fine until readers of the magazine start complaining because Clarkson’s image was considerably digitally slimmed-down.
In defense of the magazine the editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger said the photo was retouched in order for Clarkson to ‘look her personal best.’  She went on to say,
“I think this photo is the truest we have ever put out there on the newsstand.”
But readers see it differently. Considering Clarkson is a role model for so many girls and also boasts such a healthy body image the readers were essentially outraged.  One reader wrote at the jezebel.com website,
“Hey, hi, Self ladies: None this changes or explains the fact that YOU ALTERED THE BONE STRUCTURE OF HER FACE.”
Another reader made a clever remark asking why even have Clarkson pose if her body is not the one that SELF wants on their magazine.
Something that is not mentioned is that most magazines allow their celebs to give final approval of images.  So maybe instead of criticizing the magazines we need to confront the celebs on the degree to which they pretty up their photos.

Kelly Clarkson Does CrossFit Training

by Betsy on Celebs

Pop singer Kelly Clarkson is on the cover of the September issue of Self Magazine.  The singer is used to the tabloids and the rumors about her weight, and though some days she is chubbier than others she never lets it get to her.  Not only can the girl sing but she has an admirable self-image that keeps her strong.  In the interview she admits that her weight fluctuates.  She said,
“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.”
Back in June she said that she gets tired of the fat joke and she finds it interesting that when people talk about her weight they are ones that have a problem about it, not her.  She went on to say that she always feels comfortable on the red carpet or any other event where she takes center stage.
When asked about her workout routine she said she uses CrossFit, a program used by police acadamies and military special operations that combines strength training and cardio.
“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.
Kelly said that the backup singers and also the hair-and-makeup girl do the program with her.  She continues on to say that she feels empowered and like ‘GI Jane’ because she gets so much energy from it.
