Pop star Kelly Clarkson has found a way to control her weight issues when she's touring - she has hired a traveling chef.

The American Idol hit maker struggles to stay in shape when she's on the road and so she has added a personal chef to her road crew to make sure she eats well.

She says, "I'm the kind (of girl) that can fluctuate; I'll gain 10 (pounds) or lose 10 (pounds), but I'm five (foot) three (inches) so that makes a big difference.

"I have a cook. I have to have a cook; we travel so much and my digestive system just can't handle it."
