Kelly Clarkson cannot take it anymore for being bullied over her shape. She had been very patient with all the fat jokes, but now she thinks it's enough. "For seven years it's been happening. It's like, 'OK cool, the fat joke,'" the singer said on Thursday morning, June 4, during an interview with 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia.

The first season "American Idol" champ claimed she admires her body. "I love my body. I'm very much OK with it," she stated, before adding "I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight; it is other people."

Kelly also doesn't care about the speculation that she is a gay which she has recently denied. However, the issue brings trouble to her love life. "The rumors are not helping me on the dating front!" Kelly told Kyle and Jackie O. She continued, "I prefer the boys. I'm extremely flattered when I do get hit on by girls, and I think it's hot, but I'm not into it. I like boys."

But Kelly, who is currently in Australia to promote her new album "All I Ever Wanted", is in no rush to find a boyfriend and enjoying her single status. "I enjoy being single, I love work and I think people are so passive with relationships and I'm not that person," she admitted.
