Kelly Clarkson's OK with her body. Self magazine, not so much?

Kelly Clarkson is the September cover subject for Self magazine, and within the pages, she talks about being comfortable with her body and ignoring the carping about her weight.
"When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't. I'm fine!'" she tells the magazine. "My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more, sometimes I play more."
That sounds like a perfectly reasonable approach to life, even for a heavily scrutinized pop star and former "American Idol" winner. So we have to wonder: Why the heck did Self decide to airbrush its cover image of Clarkson to make her look skinnier?
Here's what Self's editor in chief, Lucy Danziger, told "Entertainment Tonight": "Kelly Clarkson exudes confidence, and is a great role model for women of all sizes and stages of their life. She works out and is strong and healthy, and our picture shows her confidence and beauty. She literally glows from within. That is the feeling we'd all want to have."
So the "confidence and beauty" shown in the cover photo wouldn't have been apparent without the digital downsizing? What do you think of Self's decision?

At least she has a figure, not one of these "I need to eat a meal without throwing it up actresses or singers". Kelly rocks...maybe some of these Anorexic bimbos could take some notes.
Agreed. These wannabes could learn a lot from Kelly's confidence. I think she's hot the way she is!
So Self figured a Fat kelly wouldn't sell magazines versus a slimmer Kelly. So why did they even bother with this topic to begin with if they were not going to stand 100% behind it. Makes no sense
Kelly's hot (not to mention, super talented,) no matter what size she is.
Rock on, Kelly!!
Yeah, if they didn't like the way she looked without a lot of airbrushing, why have her on their cover at all!?!?
ive always thought she was hotter than any other pop singer out there because she doesnt usually get all *****d up. She just looks like the girl next door.
Good for Kelly....and Self can kiss a**...i'll NEVER buy their magazine....
I'm not saying she's fat or anything, but when is this %!@**& eclipse going to end????
U tell'em Kelly
