Kelly Clarkson admits to bulemic past

Kelly Clarkson admits in August's CosmoGirl mag that she briefly battled bulemia after she was passed over for a role in musical in high school. "I thought... If I came back and I'm cuter and thinner...then I'll get the role," Clarkson says. She was bulemic for six months, until her problem was discovered by a friend. "One of my guy friends caught on to it, and I just felt so ashamed and embarrassed. I literally went cold turkey and snapped out of it," she says. Since then, the American Idol winner has worked hard to maintain a positive body image: "I've got a butt, I'm Greek. I can't help that. And I think it's good for people to see normal."
