I have to wonder if a male journalist would be allowed to be so candid. I think if a guy said these things, he would never work again.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/journalist-fat-shaming-kelly-clarkson-says-her-criticism-is-needed/

Kelly Clarkson's new album "Piece by Piece" is already No. 1 on iTunes, but the singer is facing some serious criticism for her fluctuating weight.

"Kelly Clarkson is now a chunky monkey, if we're putting it kindly," British journalist Katie Hopkins told ET. "She does look like she's eaten her backup singers :D My advice: she needs to get out there with her stroller and do some pushing and get some of that weight off."

In 2006, Hopkins told ET that she can fluctuate up to 10 pounds, but her height (5'3") "makes a big difference."

"That's not baby weight. That's carrot cake," Hopkins said.

Hopkins has been nicknamed "the wicked witch" in the U.K., and she documented a personal weight experiment she conducted in a TV special called "My Fat Story." In the experiment, she went from 125 pounds to 167 pounds in three months by eating and lying around the house. She successfully took the weight off again by cutting back to 1,500 calories a day and going through rigorous exercise.

While her words can be caustic, Hopkins says that her criticism of Clarkson is needed.

"We give fat really cute names, don't we?" Hopkins said. "We have baby weight, puppy fat, love handles, muffin top, chunky monkey -- ultimately these are all nice names for something that's not very nice ... You're supporting Kelly Clarkson because everybody likes to have a fat friend, because the great thing about a fat friend is it makes you feel slimmer."

"I've always been super confident in my talent and what I love to do," Kelly told the BBC. "It's never really gotten me down."

Hopkins added that Clarkson's 8-month-old daughter, River Rose, could also stand to benefit from Kelly slimming down.

"Every fat child has a fat parent," Hopkins said. " And that's -- for me -- why Kelly Clarkson is an important example. She needs to allow her daughter to grow up knowing that it's not great to be fat. It's much better to be healthier."

Clarkson reacted to Hopkins' comments to Heat magazine. "That's because she doesn't know me. I'm awesome! It doesn't bother me," she said, taking the high road. "It's a free world. Say what you will. I've just never cared what people think. It's more if I'm happy and I'm confident and feeling good, that's always been my thing. And more so now, since having a family -- I don't seek out any other acceptance."

Adding to that sentiment, stars like Demi Lovato (who has struggled with an eating disorder in the past) are fighting back against the more vicious body image critics.

"If you don't have a thigh gap naturally it doesn't mean that you're not beautiful," Lovato said. "You don't have to starve yourself. You're beautifully, wonderfully made. It doesn't matter what other people think of you. Be the best version of yourself and feel confident, because you deserve to."

Katie Hopkins is a media personality. Shes not just a journalist, but also someone whos done reality TV, and is known for making controversial comments to. She does this stuff all the times, and like in the past, is now getting bashed for her comments.

Male versions of Mrs. Hopkins do exist, and do get the same bashing when they make similar comments. So it is what it is...haters making the news by hating on people.

That said, Kelly Clarkson REALLY let herself go over the years. Looks like shes been eating a lot of cake "Piece by Piece".

It's possible to be candid or criticize any white person even a female, but just try to be candidate about anyone not white. There will be widespread knee jerk criticism and claims of "racism", forced apologies and denunciation, the firing and career ending of the person, and a shakedown for more 'diversity' in media. That communist **** needs to be opposed and stopped.

Youre trying too hard bro. Race has nothing to do with this.

And in case you havent noticed, non-white women get criticized for their appearance in the media all the time.

I had to do a search for who these 2 retards were. Not sure if the drop in brain cells and testosterone was an adequate trade off.

When does the mainstream media criticize black women's appearance such as their fat butts? Hardly ever. Stop lying. All the media does is withhold criticism of them and undeservedly heap praise.

I guess you missed the social media outrage over Giuliana Rancic's comments about Zendaya's hair at the Oscars. Zendaya isnt what I would call a white woman, and she had her appearance made fun of.

Now Kelly Clarkson is made fun of and social media blew up over this now too. Should I find you more examples of non-white women having their appearance criticized? Wanna keep trolling with the race stuff in unrelated threads?

Fact of the matter is this; Women in the media have their appearance critiqued, be they black, white, latina, asian, etc. The stupid race baiting bullsh!t can be taken to that little troll thread you just created.

So you find one person in a fashion critic show criticize a fake hair do and gets shouted down by everyone, and proclaim equal presentation in the media.

I personally have no time for 'social commentators' such as Katie Hopkins.

The world becomes much more surreal when you unplug from the mainstream media. I find it difficult to believe that the TV show "Entertainment Tonight" is watched by anybody with a brain. Why should I give a 5hit what a celebrity does when they're not being a celebrity?
