Kelly Clarkson opens up about weight loss, new look, boyfriend

The original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, opened up about her recent weight loss, along with her new look, and steady boyfriend.

Now a star on the summer hit, Duets, Clarkson apparently decided to slim down after watching footage of herself performance on VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul.

When asked about the secret for her weight loss, she remarked, Theres no secret! It's just trying to eat a little better and work out a little more. But no matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.

Clarkson has also traded her signature brunette look for a bold blonde. Regarding her new hair, she states, I love it! People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I'm blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun, dammit!

Those are not the only recent change for Clarkson. She has now been in a one-year relationship with 35-year-old talent manager Brandon Blackstock. She joked that now shes Too happyHe's ruining my creativity! I'm writing all this happy sh*t! It's killing me.
