Kelly Clarkson’s Fat Problems

Kelly Clarkson’s new album is in trouble and her love life is in shambles, so it’s not surprising that the unusually feisty singer seems miserable these days. Besides the stress of having to redo several songs, sources tell Star that Kelly’s down in the dumps over her lacking love life and ballooning figure. Kelly is desperate to lose 25 pound before her summer tour kicks off in mid-July and before the release of her eagerly anticipated album, My December.

A source close to Kelly reveals, “She feels pressure from her label, her handlers, and her friends to lose weight. She’s always moaning about how she can’t find a boyfriend and she blames this dry spell on her weight.�

Additionally, executives at Kelly’s label were not the happiest with the songs she wrote and produced herself. Kelly might feel better about herself if she tackled her body the way she approaches her career with consistent hard work. “Sometimes she’s in the studio for 14 hours and the only food she eats is fast food, potato chips, and candy bars.�

Kelly drinks a lot of soda, and hates working out. Those close to Kelly, say the real problem is her low self-esteem. “The way Kelly looks and feels now, Kelly isn’t going to let a man love her, [which is what she may need] to get off this negative merry-go-round.�

Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson has dismissed reports her new album was panned by record executives, insisting the rumors are unfounded reports FemaleFirst UK.

She tells Mtv.com, "This time everybody made a big deal about the record, but that's happened every record.

"I've never once compromised myself. I don't think you should, that's when you start to lose fans and credibility. I think you definitely need to keep doing what you love, because I'm the one that needs to sing it every night."
