I agree tara t. She has gained some weight in her upper body, but definitely not her lower body. I think the outfit she picked was terrible for her shape. Since she has gained a little weight in her arms, chest, stomach area she should have picked something with a little shape instead of a form fitting tank. I think if she had dressed differently not many people would have noticed.

I was hearing on the radio this morning that she was a size 2 and now is a size 6. I'm a size 10....so I must be considered Hella Fat!!!!
I feel bad for her too.
They were also saying that I guess she was performing yesterday and she messed up at least 3 times and ended one song early cause she forgot the words, thanked her band, and left the stage crying. All this must be really getting to her.

I agree she gained it in her upper half - I didn't even know you could gain weight in your upper half and not your lower! I don't think her outfit did ANYTHING for her. Even a change of pants would have made her look a million times better, and probably wouldn't have caused so much drama.

But where I really see it is in her face - not so much in these pics, but others. I don't think her weight itself that's causing the commotion, because obviously she is not fat, but she did gain significant weight, and fast, so it was really noticeable. I think that's why everyone got all up in a huff about it - it seemed like (to me, at least) that her weight change happened overnight. Gaining that fast can't be healthy. She's been through a media shitstorm lately and maybe it's all catching up. Is it weird to say I'm worried about a celebrity?

I think if she took some cues on how to dress from Salma Hayek (who is very tiny, but curvy), no one would have noticed, and she would look amazing. I feel bad for her, and I think it's disgusting how people are talking about how she's "fat."

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

Egh its so annoying that celebs are not allowed to gain 5 lbs without being on the cover of a magazine.

Everyone's weight fluctuates. Especially after the holidays. Her stylist should have put her in a babydoll dress or floaty blouse to cover up any pooch. Also, WTF last year she wore high-waisted jeans and looked tremendous & got alot of slack for it. Didn't she/her stylist learn from that?

I think its kind of ridiculous that there's nothing else going on to the point that 5 lbs of bloat becomes a newsworthy story.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I know, it's ridiculous. I think it was a combination of bad outfit, bad angle and maybe some holiday pudge. Or just slacking on the workouts. I say just leave her alone and let her be happy!!!

maybe those jeans squished everything upward?

but i WISH my bum looked as good as hers does in those TR jeans.

jj · Kate Spade

It's those horrible jeans!! NOBODY looks good in high waisted jeans. They make your butt look 3x as big. And it makes me ill that mags are using bad outfit + bad pics to sell more issues.

NCshopper · Hermes

I think it was just a horrible unflattering outfit. With her chest, she should stay away from skinny strap tanks in general because I think they just make her look wide and I think that's something that most well-endowed women have to learn to deal with. The tank top straps plus those awful awful jeans and that belt just really makes for a bad combination. I think it really sucks that one bad outfit created this media shitstorm about her weight. The media needs to give it a f*ing rest. /rant.

Kel · Coach

Like you all said, it was a very bad outfit choice. I feel bad for her she constantly has people talking about her weight, she is either too thin or too "fat". I think the media should just leave her alone.
