Kelly Clarkson is getting pressure to get thin. Although Kelly could use a stylist, we certainly don't want her to turn into another Hollywood skeleton. Apparently one of her new sponsors, Vitamin Water, thinks she could drop a few pounds. Page Six reports:
KELLY Clarkson has agreed to promote her own flavor of Vitamin Water. The only catch is the company won't announce the deal until the "American Idol" winner loses some more weight. Last year, 50 Cent endorsed his own flavor of the trendy sports drink, which is said to have 50 percent of the daily vitamin requirements. The muscular rapper actually looks like he's in robust health. Clarkson looks like she could lose a few pounds. Since the brand is all about fitness and health, she's been put on a strict diet and the deal is secret until she slims down.

Hmm, is this stuff any good?
She could prob stand to lose a few pounds, but please, no more Skeletors!!
1God, I would be pissed if some company told me I had to lose weight. WTF It's not like she's obese, for crying out loud.
2i always think of her as a regular woman--sometimes her weight is up a pound or two and sometimes her weight is down a pound or two. she never looks like she has let herself go though.
3I don't think she needs to lose weight...maybe just some weight training to tone up. God forbid there should actually be a normal size woman in show business these days.
4I agree sjp, I think its ridiculous to make a big thing about her weight, so shes got a pound or two more than whoever it is that sets the "normal" weight guidelines, says she should have, does she really need to go on a strict diet, if she doesn't lose the weight, then what? How embarrassing if she doesn't. Oh god, I would just die!
5She may only be a teensy bit overweight, but, this company is trying to promote an extremely fit image, so makes sense they want their spokeswoman to be in top shape. May not be fair, but hey, she agreed to it!
6Yes, she did agree to it, I just don't think it's a good message they are sending out. Not everybody can be extremely fit, I run 6-8 miles a day, now, I do a 50- 75 crunches, every morning, along with other exercises, I'm in training for the Las Vegas Marathon, I'm 5'11" I weigh 138lbs wear a size 7 or 9 pants, and I have "Jelly Belly".
7In my opinion, I think making such a public statement saying shes fat and needs to lose weight, is overkill.
Yeah, I know what you mean...not everyone can be extremely fit, Lord knows I'm so out of shape! LOL I'm not one to talk at all...good luck with the Marathon, I give props to those runners!
8So why did they choose her if she's not "fit" enough? I think she's fine the way she is.
9They probably chose her because she is the perfect all American girl and one of the few that isn't involved in some sort of drama.
10Well then if she's already pefect and has a huge following, they shouldn't be trying to change her.
11Ok...she has really bad dress sense but she REALLY does not need to lose weight...what kind of message is this so called health company really sending out here???
I
12Exactly!
13I'll go on the strict diet with you Kelly..I could stand to loose 6-10 pounds myself so let's do it together. Popsugar, let us (those who don't live in America) know when Kelly Clarkson reaches her goal, so I can post my before and after pictures...
14Is it any wonder celebs are so skinny when girls like Kelly are called fat?
15why cant someone sponsor me to lose weight?
vitamin water? subway? anyone?
16She looks so cute in these pics
17I don't think she's even the slighest bit overweight. I don't consider an average build overweight. It's like anyone who's not slim is automatically overweight. I'm not having a go at anyone on here cause I love you all, it's a gripe about society in general, as a whole. It's the fashion (at times) that needs changing not the weight lol.
i think she looks good just the way she is.i don't like the anorexic look at all.
18WTF is wrong with her?????????
19She looks perfect, healty and beautiful!
Sue Vitamine Water for making her loose weight and giving such a stupid example to girls everywhere!
I have such an issue with this - what kind of message does vitamin water think they are sending? That their spokespeople can't have regular bodies? I love it that Kelly is "normal" -- ie NOT skin and bones - gasp!! I know! The horrors!
I wish they would have taken her as for what she is and used THAT to promote their water. Think Dove commercials. Vitamin water isn't even supposed to be about being skinny, it's supposed to be about being HEALTHY, and Kelly *IS* healthy! Now I'm afraid she won't be - now that she's been told to her face -- by a huge company no less, plus now it's been leaked -- that she needs to lose weight, well it takes someone really strong to not let that screw with your mind and let it lead to an eating disorder. I have to say (if I didn't make that clear already, lol) I *DON'T* like this!!
Not that I ever drank vitamin water but I definitely won't now!!
20Only in America. Kelly looks like the average girl. Plus, she'd look scary as any of those anorexic Hollywood actresses due to her big boned structure.
The pressure to be thin is far too great in that industry. Take the money and run, I say!
21The concept of Vitamin Water is ridiculous anyway and I can't understand why people buy into this crap. Eating a balanced diet will give you all the vitamins you need.
22good call so tru. i dont see why they should substitute vitamin water for fruits and veggies so they can eat more big macs and supersized fries! hehe...maybe miss clarkson read all of our comments on how we would rather see ashlee simpson in underwear than her! haha if only. i think she has a normal body and that is wonderful...i agree that she should tone up a little though. PP you dont get a sponsor to lose weight because you are gorgeous as is and not overweight!
23You know how some people say they aren't fat the just have big bones? I think that's actually true for Kelly. Even if she loses some weight, she'll always look a little round because that's her face shape and how her body is built.
Seems like they should have picked somebody else.
24If I was her, I'd say F-U, go find another dummy to drink your stupid water
25just another victim of of the nicole richie phenomenon.
26I really don't think it would be all that noticable if she loses like 6-8 lbs. She will just look a little more toned and athletic. I think she would have to drop at least 25-30 lbs before she would be considered a Lolly Pop head. It's not that she's fat, she just looks rather "soft" and it may suck but an important part of a celebrity's job description is to look good.
27good for her! she could totally stand to lose 10 lbs. no, i don't think she's obese or anything but she's a little chunky monkey and could just use some toning. what did she expect when entering the entertainment industry? in a world obsessed with image she should know that her image is a key element in her sucess. i hope she does well and sheds those pounds.
28I think that Kelly Clarkson looks like healthy girl. I do like Vitamin Water though. The energy version is a good pick me up in the afternoon.
29Pinkangelmonkey, i know im not overweight but i would still lose weight for money. i would also put on weight for money. im so poor id yo-yo for money.
just putting the offer out there (subway)
30She looks as though she is preppy herself to be the next spokeswoman for Jenny Craig ... She is a very bloated looking chickie- Not fat, but not thin and her body just always looks like she is PMS'ing to me ... I don't think is attractive at all- there is nothing "Stand-out" about her ...
31I don't think she's fat, a little pudgy tho.
32Pi_Phi and bluejeanie- in response to your comments: a person's goal for being in the entertainment industry and a celebrity's job descrition is to ENTERTAIN. Kelly entertains millions of people at her current size and weight. She'll entertain when she weighs 10 more pounds or 10 less pounds. Personally, I don't think she's a "chunky monkey"- there's nothing wrong with being curvy and a little soft. There's a lot of people out there in the entertainment industry who are destroying body images for women all over the place (Nicole Richie, Ellen Pompeo, Posh, now Keira Knightley it seems... etc etc). Leave the one healthy, normal girl alone!
Ok, I'm done...
33Hmmm.... an apron... good idea! I still have about 30 lbs of pregnancy weight to take off (I gained a whopping 65!!!!) so I'm always trying to find ways to hide in pictures. Last week I hid behind my daughter's stroller.... maybe now I'll just start wearing an apron every where! Thanks for the idea, Kelly Clarkson!
34I agree with Jennifer76 - Kelly just has a round shape and figure - she'd have to lose alot of weight to be skinny, and she really doesn't need to - maybe she could lose 8-10 pounds and be more toned, but otherwise, she is adorable and I like her just how she is!
35peachie-pie, sure they're paid to entertain. they make records, sing, dance and do music videos. it's expected that they look attractive, in fact, it's probably in her contract. she's not unattractive but she's soft and doesn't look fit. who wants to see wiggle when they dance? people think that the looks average but the average american is overweight (sad yet true).
36i am so sick of women b*tchin and moaning about people in the entertainment industry ruining their body image. why on earth would you compare yourself to someone whose only job is to work out, dress sexy (in free designer clothes), and warble a few notes on stage? if you are silly enough to let a singer, model or heiress destroy your body image you probably didn't have much of one to begin with.
I FRIGGIN LOVE VITAMIN WATER!!! Been drinking the stuff ever since it came out. My favorite flavors are Endurance Peach Mango, Revive Fruit Punch, Focus Kiwi Strawberry and Energy Tropical Citrus. SO YUMMY! I drink one every day. No more soda for me. I think Kelly is cute as is but if she's found the motivation to lose a few pounds then good for her. It's not like they're putting a gun to her head forcing her to do stomach crunches.
37i like vitamin water too, there's a bottle of tropical citrus in front of me. mmmmmmmmmmm tastes like a candy.
38And Vitamin water is fairly caloric for something that is supposed to be "so healthy". Healthy is not stick thin and losing weight doesn't make you toned. Exercise and eating right does.
39Poor Kelly I think she is ok she has a good look off course she doesn't look like the other skeletons, but the has a good body and what this people is doing is mean, that's were the eating problems start!
40Ladies, I'd like to draw you attention to Mr Tommy3ct's guest book. he is insulting us by being here for the wrong purpose, AND he is PMing underage girls.
41No scum in our happy pond!
42Its no wonder that there are so many stick thin celebs in Hollywood...everyone tells them they need to lose weight! I don't think Kelly Clarkson is fat at all! Kind of sad, I think.
43I wonder if he has noticed that his friend list is dwindling? Gee, how did that happen? LMAO!
44she lost a lot of weight a few years aog and she looked about the same except all of her bones were sticking out! It was so weird looking!!! I am trying to find a picture now....
45P.S>>>I think Kelly looks great. She just needs to tone up a bit. Would rather look like her than Paris or Mischa or any of those other flat chested twigs.
46Ha ha, Jenna. Team Addict!!
47Im saying this on this thread because lots of people are getting emails from it: he has now disabled his guestbook somehow.
he is a predator and he is using Popsugar for the wrong purpose. Team and Pop have been notified. it would probably be best if he was ignored as much as possible an then he will get bored and wander off into cyberspace to bother other underage girls and fulfil whatever part of his sad life that his lonely fantasys bring him.
do yourself a favour Tommy3ct, get yourself a hooker and let go.
48it's not a secret anymore...
49so here's proof that vitamin water won't help you lose weight. you have to be skinny first.
She is NOT Fat at all!! I think she is a healthy weight.
ugh, that gets under my skin!
