Fox News Chris Wallace: Kelly Clarkson ‘Should Stay Off The Deep Dish Pizza’

Chris Wallace should probably stick to grilling Republican presidential candidates. Somehow, during a radio interview with conservative host Mike Gallagher on Friday, the Fox News Sunday host got pulled into a discussion about former American Idol star Kelly Clarkson’s weight. The two men were discussing Little Caesars’ bacon-wrapped crust pizza when Gallagher brought up “fat shaming.”

“Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? You know the singer, Kelly Clarkson?” Gallagher asked Wallace. “Holy cow, did she blow up.” At first, it seemed that Wallace was going to avoid joining in on this bizarre line of questioning, saying he thinks Clarkson has “got a lovely voice.” But then, he let this comment slip: “She could stay off the deep dish pizza for a little while.” Listen to audio below, via The Mike Gallagher Show:

Coincidentally, Clarkson appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Friday, where she spoke out about her struggles with weight issues after giving birth to her first daughter last June. “I think what hurts my feelings for people is that I’ll have a meet and greet after the show and a girl who’s like bigger than me will be in the meet and greet and be like, ‘Wow, if they think you’re big I must be so fat to them,’” Clarkson told Ellen DeGeneres. “And it’s like, you’re just who you are. We are who we are — whatever size. And it doesn’t mean that we’re gonna be that forever.”

“Sometimes I’m more fit and I get into kickboxing hardcore,” she added. “And then sometimes I don’t and I’m like … I’d rather have wine.” http://www.mediaite.com/tv/foxs-chris-wallace-kelly-clarkson-could-stay-off-the-deep-dish-pizza/

Under that suit he's probably as flabby as can be, but God forbid that should stop him from critcizing others.

see how they keep their figures.

edited to add:
What gave them the idea they could talk about someone like that? Guess the old saying that it's better to be thought a fool than to open the mouth and remove all doubt.

We as humans often hate the most that which exposes our shadowy nature.

It takes some talent to be the lamest right wing radio host in America but I seriously think that asswipe can pull it off.

Haven't heard him in 15 years and I'm amazed he still has a job. He was so bad I almost felt sorry for him.

He is a poor imitation of his father, who was not without his issues, but always hung on to his integrity.

Really? So it's Gallagher's fault that Wallace couldn't keep his piehole shut? You're amazing and I don't mean that in the positive sense. Like someone else said, "he sure isn't his father." Way to excuse his misogynist comment.

He brought up the topic and made repeated nasty remarks about her weight.

Of course Wallace should not have joined in and ought to have called him out for his nastiness.

Chris Wallace on the other hand, will be a horse's ass, no talent bum, no matter how thin he gets.
