Clay Aiken News: Might Be Fat, Gained 30 Pounds
After gaining 30 pounds, Clay Aiken vows to get back his slender body.
According to In Touch, kids bullied Clay Aiken for being skinny. But that was then – now his fans were shocked to see the singer 30 pounds heavier (and almost unrecognizable!) at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on November 21.
The past few month have been challenging for Clay, who has repeatedly been questioned about his sexuality. And a friend says the 28-year-old has been eating to relieve stress.
But insiders says Clay is determined to get back to his slim self. “Clay hates working out, but he hired a trainer,� a pal reveals. “He wants to lose his flab and build up his muscles.�
Note: Clay Aiken is not alone in “hating� exercise. Taylor Hicks and Janet Jackson have admitted to disliking working out, too.
Clay had no idea how much weight he had gained – until he say recent pictures of himself. “Clay was in complete denial about his weight,� his friend says. [source: In Touch]

These stories about Clay Aiken being "fat" are absolutely ridiculous! His fans were absolutely NOT shocked by his appearance at the AMA awards, and he was definitely NOT "unrecognizable". I love how all the "fat" photos show him with his chin tucked in, creating a double chin. Don't we all have a double chin when we do that???
Take a look at how skinny Clay was in that before photo. He needed to gain some weight! He looks great now. He's gone from a skinny kid to a well filled out man.
This is such a non-story that has people believin it's true. It's cruddy stories like this that makes our young men and women (heck, the whole adult poppulation) think they're "fat", when they are normal!

OMG. This is the strangest thing. Clay was 145 before.. Now he's 175. At 175 Clay should NOT be considered fat, but he looks so fat! I'd say he looks like he weighs about 210! But I have also seen body builders that look great and are like 205.. But they don't look 205.. They look 175! and I don't mean the super muscle guys. Just muscular.
What I think is happening here is that Clay is meant to be a small framed person. Small bones etc. He's meant to be skinny. So when he gains 30 pounds, you see all the fat. I'm 210 and look like I'm 10 pounds over weight. Clay's 175 and looks 50 pounds over weight. Even his face looks pudgy. IT's got to be what he's eating.
Natalie points out how skinny Clay is and that he needed to gain weight. She's right. He looks way too skinny on the left. But again, on the right adding that fat makes him look terrible. So the problem is that he needs to look healthy by having a good diet and building muscle. But Clay is not the type to build muscle easily. So if he works out and exercises, he will simply lose weight and look skinny again. So it's a problem for him. I think he if he loses 15 pounds, it would put him right in the middle, which would look good.

I guess he doesn't look that fat. But you can see some fat in his face. Another part of it might be that we are used to seeing him too thin. If we had seen him this way before, we wouldn't think he was that fat. But most people would agree he was a little pudgy. Again he needs to lose some and it's all about being healthy and working out. People can see when you don't exercise.

What?! He does NOT look fat. I would be in denial, too, Clay don't worry. I say he looks a little better with more meat on his bones. I always thought he was sexy, but a little skinny. Be healthy, Clay, but you don't look bad.
