Here’s Kelly Clarkson on the red carpet and on stage at the 2009 VH1 Divas held at NY’s Brooklyn Academy of Music on Thursday.

No visible changes on the weight front, but she positively looks much better in dresses.

Looking pretty good in the black little number on the left (the angle doesn’t help in the second picture though).

She really does! And she says guys love it too. And she’s sad for the girls who can’t fill their jeans:

Kelly Clarkson loves her “bubble butt.” The “My Life Would Suck Without You” singer loves being a role model for curvy girls, and is especially proud of her shapely posterior. She said: “I totally have no chest, I’m all butt. Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a bubble butt – I get it from my mama. Guys are usually like, ‘Oh my gosh, look at that butt!’ In a good way!” “I’m a fan of my butt. I like filling out a pair of jeans, because sometimes I see girls who can’t and I feel bad about that.”

Kelly, 27, has been criticized for her fluctuating weight, but insists comments about her figure do not bother her.She is happy to admit she has cellulite and struggles to stay slim, and claims women who say it is easy to stay in shape are lying. She told Britain’s Heat magazine: “Dude, every woman has cellulite, I don’t care who you are. Unless you’re some anorexic girl in some mental institution? but even then their skin gets like that and worse. Any girl who tells you she doesn’t have cellulite is a frickin’ liar!”

Although Kelly has ruled out having cosmetic surgery to improve her figure, she is adamant women should not be lambasted if they do go under the knife.She insisted: “If a girl wanted bigger boobs, she could get them, but you can’t get a bigger butt!”"I’m kind of on the fence about it, because I have a friend who was completely unhappy with her boyish figure and she got breast implants and it turned her life around. So it’s hard for me to be against it, but I’m also not for it. I would never do it.”

OK, there are a few interesting statements in there! Let’s talk!

The Kelly Clarkson Photoshop Debate Continues… this time, Kelly herself has something to say about it. Daily Express UK has the details:

KELLY CLARKSON was stunned by her own appearance on the recent cover of a fitness magazine because the photograph was so heavily airbrushed, she barely recognised herself.

Clarkson has battled weight issues ever since she won talent show American Idol in 2002, and sparked a furore after appearing on the front of Self magazine’s September (09) issue looking suspiciously svelte.

The editor of the publication defended the decision to airbrush Clarkson, insisting they just wanted to show the singer looking her “best”.

Now Clarkson has opened up about the controversy, admitting she was shocked by the pictures – but accepts all photoshoots inevitably involve the airbrush.

She tells Britain’s Heat magazine, “The whole airbrushing thing has gone crazy. I was like, ‘Who is that on the cover of the magazine?’ They were obviously not happy with what I look like. I’m not being mean about myself, but I just found it funny. I think it’s just one of those things that people have got so used to doing that they don’t even think twice about it.”

Kelly Clarkson may not have an issue with her weight, but a digitally slimmed-down image of the singer on the cover of Self magazine is causing waves online.

Lucy Danziger, editor-in-chief of the women’s health magazine, is speaking out in defense of “retouching” the 27-year-old singer in order to make her “look her personal best” on the September issue.

“Yes. Of course we do retouching,” Danziger writes in a post on Self.com. “Did we alter her appearance? Only to make her look her personal best.”

Calling Clarkson “the picture of confidence,” Danzinger writes, “I think this photo is the truest we have ever put out there on the newsstand.”

But many readers have expressed disappointment and outrage over the digitally slim Clarkson. “Hey, hi, Self ladies: None this changes or explains the fact that YOU ALTERED THE BONE STRUCTURE OF HER FACE,” write one reader on jezebel.com where the controversy is stewing.

Adds another reader: “Taking out red eye and airbrushing a pimple would be making her look her personal best. You completely changed the way her body looked. Why even bother asking Kelly Clarkson to pose in your magazine if you didn’t think her body fit into your idea of what was best?”

In the Self article, Clarkson defends her figure. “When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t. I’m fine!,’ ” Clarkson says. “I’m never trying to lose weight – or gain it,” she added. “I’m just being!”

This is not the first photo flap the singer has been involved with: In January Clarkson wrote on her blog that “they Photoshopped the crap out of me!” on her All I Ever Wanted album cover image. Check her photoshopped album cover HERE!

REALLY? They made her look her best? So “her best” is minus 30 lbs, while she clearly says that she is fine with her weight?!

What do you think about all this?
