Or as tough as she needs to be, in order for her to make an appearance for the sponsor of her upcoming tour. The fans will have a chance to win prizes all along her tour, with Ford giving away a car in each city. Clarkson and Ford will also be participating in some "charity stuff" along the way as well.
Kelly's tour kicks off June 30 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and will hit 24 cities before wrapping up August 6 in Auburn, Washington. The singer is taking a break from recording her third album to make the trek (see " Kelly Clarkson Eyeing Black Eyed Peas For New Album"), which will feature some of the new material."I actually said no at first," Clarkson said. "I was like, 'I've toured a lot,' but [my management] came up with the idea, like, 'Hey, you always like to try out new songs [live].' So then I called back and was like, 'I want to do the tour,' because I think it'd be cool to make the fans part of the process. I get to be like, 'Hey, we're thinking about doing this on the record. What do you think about it?' "
The show will still feature all Clarkson's hits, plus some new covers. "We're gonna do things that have inspired me for this record," she said. "I think it's going to be my favorite tour. It's outside, it's summertime."

Its a good thing Ford has one ton pickups. She will use every ounce of its payload.
LeeAnne says:
Is it me or has she gained some weight?? She is looking MIGHTY puffy...I really like her, but I think she needs to slim down a bit...
KittyLiterati says:
Why does Kelly look like she got busted in the right jaw in that first picture?
And what's with the "I'm on my way to the PTA and I wanna look like the cool mom so I'll throw on these funky leopard sandals with my Anne Taylor getup" look?
Czarina says:
she is quite the chunka chunka.
She totally fluctuates.
La Aquanet says:
Hey hey hey, leave her shoes alone! I think they are rockin'. Yeah she does look a little bit puffy but as long as they don't put her in stuff that doesn't fit her it's all good. You go Kelly!
mimi says:
She's a porker...like Kelly Osbourne.
anona says:
Looks like she is losing the battle of the bulge.
wondering says:
i'm glad there are so many perfect people that get to comment on these blogs. everyone rips starts like lindsay lohan, nicole richie (or however you spell it), etc. apart for being skinny, and then they call kelly clarkson kelly for being average weight. makes no sense...
wondering says:
stars* not starts, my bad
wondering says:
and fat not kelly* OMG it's just one of those days LOL, the heat is getting to me
Gawky says:
Wow, I never noticed before, she and Racheal Ray could be sisters (if not twins).
Blah says:
Kelly is actually at a normal size for her height. Some of you apparently have had your world view warped by too many near-death anorexics on these very pages.
However... a white blouse with puffy sleeves? Skin-tight capris? and those godawful shoes? Hair in her face? No apparent makeup? Unh unh.
Small Fry says:
Oh come on fellow blog comment leavers....we are here to make fun of everyone, fat, skinny, big fake boobs, no boobs, dumb quotes, sluts, virgins, etc. We don't discriminate in our cruelty here.
doofus says:
Kelly isn't fat. she just has a very unfortunate body type.
if you look at the full length pics, you can see her torso isn't fat, but her butt and thighs look large.
we saw in those recent bikini pictures that her stomach is flat, it's just the prominence of her lower half that makes her look fat.
what she needs to do is wear clothes that accentuate the top part of her body.
whatever...I still like her; she's got serious talent, unlike some of the other women putting out "music" these days; plus she's REAL looking.
Tai says:
Too Fat, Too Skinny, Too Mom'ish, Too Glamish..Stuff it. She looks fine. She's going on tour which means she'll be gettin' in better shape soon. She does need a better stylist tho..i have to admit.
me says:
I think she looks cute, she does however have chipped toenail polish. Come on now, you are rich, go get a pedi before you wear open toe shoes.
Kelly is fat says:
