Darling, if you had a baby a year ago, that is not baby weight. It is fat. Quit calling it cute names to make yourself feel better.
Baby weight, puppy fat, muffin top. We're so weakwilled we have to make up cute names for fat. Babies, puppies, muffins. Nope. Just fat love

After having Hopkins' comments relayed to her, Clarkson continued to be laugh it off. "Oh, and she tweeted something nasty about me? That's because she doesn't know me. I'm awesome! It doesn't bother me. It's a free world. Say what you will."

"I am not saying who it was because if I say it's not, then you're going to guess somebody else! You're trying to manipulate me! I'm going to drink more. Soon I'll say the truth, and then I can blame it on the alcohol!"
During the broadcast, Clarkson also admitted to having dated her From Justin to Kelly co-star Justin Guarini. "We didn't date during Idol, which everybody thought we were dating. We did date during... I feel like we weren't dating during the movie. But I feel like maybe we did. We did date a little bit," Clarkson explained. "I think any two people who are thrown together that much [would eventually date]. 'Timeless,' you put that song on From Justin to Kelly--you can't fight it!"
