She’s been receiving a good deal of flack over her weight, but singer Kelly Clarkson (#1 FEAR) isn’t listening to the haters, particularly one British critic who said, “She looks like she’s eaten her backup singers.” In reply, Kelly simply stated, “That’s because she doesn’t know me. I’m awesome! It doesn’t bother me. 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.”
Who did Kelly marry? Believe it or not, Clarkson married Reba McEntire‘s stepson, Brandon Blackstone, in October of 2013. Reba, a #9 FCAR, had this to say about the negative fanfare: “Get over it. Kelly’s happier than she has ever been in her life. Just be happy for her.”
