Bono is just a shadow of the person he used to be, and he looks a lot better now.
40 Pounds by Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson is known for her powerful voice, but we didn't think she'd get to the point where she'd also be known for her curvy body. After American Idol, Kelly Clarkson was working on her career and gaining weight at the same time. But when she showed up to host this year's Billboard Music Awards, everyone was shocked because she had lost a lot of weight. After the media started talking about it, Clarkson came clean and said it was because of a book by cardiac surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry. In the book, Gundry warned about the real dangers of foods that seem healthy but can lead to weight gain and diseases. In 2006, when she was also told she had a thyroid problem, she changed the way she lived. Since then, she's been glowing!
