90210 Stars: Too Thin For TV?

90210 Stars: Too Thin For TV?

Two of the stars of the new 90210 take the latest cover of Us Weekly.

The mag claims that two of the show’s lead actresses, Shenae Grimes (left) and Jessica Stroup (right), are too thin for TV. Shenae (est. 90 lbs) and Jessica (est. 100 lbs) have reportedly been ordered to gain weight and their costars are planning an intervention since some of them have “never seen them eat”.

Entertainment Weekly also poses a very, very similar question in one of their latest articles: “Are the skinny starlets of 90210 setting a bad example?”

One casting agent who works frequently with The CW reveals to the mag, “I know in discussions at ABC and CBS that ‘too skinny’ is no good. They talk about it as a minus point. But at The CW it’s a different story. They’re trying to pull in the Gossip Girl audience and that’s the image: hyper-skinny models.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of the 90210 starlets — TOO THIN or JUST RIGHT?

i totally agree! these girls look like their anorexic! its disgusting! atleast on shows like gossip girl and one tree hill the girls are a normal size. the chicks on this show are waaaaayyy to skinny. plus they suck at acting

# 2

im a guy and even i think these chicks, especially the one with dark hair are to skinny. its not attractive when you look like posh spice

# 3

they look so skinny! you can see there bones!

ofcourse theyre too thin, look at them! i wish hollywood would quit whining abouyt anorexic stars and finally cast a girl with some meat or muscle.

# 5

Too skinny! I remember thinking that when the very first episode came out and noticed again last night. I know some people are naturally that small but it seems like thats the only ‘type’ casted.

I N F A M O U S, bish! @ 09/17/2008 at 2:10 pm

Shenae’s fcuking ugly.

dialectic @ 09/17/2008 at 2:11 pm

ugh some people are skinny!!! not every girl has this perfect body thats all big ass and huge tits …im boney and thats how i look .im happy these girls are on television maybe people wil give us boney girls a freaking break…..

I have to agree with the article. I remember watching the first episode and was distracted mainly by how thin the girls are. I think they are both very beautiful girls but they need to put on some weight not mainly coz of the bad influence on teens but for their health. I hope there friends and family will help them. Being slim is not bad but skinny to the point of bones is not healthy. I wish them both well.

Definitely too thin. It’s not a good image to set to impressionable teens who could be of a healthy size but are swayed into thinking otherwise.

Let’s not jump to the conclusion that they have a eating problem, because I know people (guys included) who eat healthily but still can’t seem to put on any weight.

too thin!!! i would hope that someone would do an intervention and make them eat. i saw a comparison with the 90210 of the 90s and everyone was at least 20 lbs heavier than the kids of the show now. and they were thin for that time. its very anti girl or woman and anti the dove campaign.

“They’re trying to pull in the Gossip Girl audience and that’s the image: hyper-skinny models.”
I don’t agree with what the guy say about GG because they are not too thin yes they are skinny but in my opinion they are healthy skinny , the only girl in GG that is thin is Jenny and I think that’s her normal anatomy, this girls in the other side are very skinny ,every time that I see them I think they are going to break.

TTo thin for sure! Ew!

Im not really sure about Jessica, but Shenae has always been skinny.

i’m thin too and have often been told to ‘eat a sandwich’ or something but you do NOT see my ribs and bones protruding out and my face is not sunk in like the girl on the right. it’s disgusting that people think it’s GOOD that people look like this on television. there is a big difference between being naturally thin and snorting coke/not eating thin (#11). if you see someones chest bones and collar bones sticking out…something is wrong and i’m sick of this weight being celebrated in Hollywood.

um the GG cast are not skinny all the girls have healthy bodies but the 90210 cast are really skinny shenae not that mush becasue of her height the jessica girl legs look like twigs!

They likely photoshopped the one with the dark hair. I don’t think she’s THAT skinny. Shanae is small, but I don’t think she’s tskinny…just small. She’s a *****, yes, but not that skinny.

Here's The Deal @ 09/17/2008 at 2:21 pm

The girl on the left looks fine. The girl on the right, though, looks too thin.

If they’re naturally think, ok, it’s not easy for some people to put on some weight, but if they’re starving themselves to be this thin it’s horrible and they don’t look good or sexy. At all

both are way thinner then they used to be… especially jessica she likes like a different person and looks doesn’t look healthy. it’s one thing to look healthy but she just doesn’t

:|
my god i never noticed how thin Jessica Stroup is!
thats crazy!!
but you know some people are just naturally thin
im probably like Shenae.i only weight 96lbs and im 18…i have pretty good eating habits too.so yeah

i think they should switch the est. weight….i’m thinkin Jessica is around 90lbs….she’s got no fat or muscle on her (gross)..at least the other one has some muscular legs. People also need to pay attention to the height when determining their weight. I am very short (4′11) and very fit..so 95 lbs is perfectly healthy for me.

parisgirl @ 09/17/2008 at 2:30 pm

The GG girls aren’t skinny. These 2 on the other hand…-_-

Hollywood can’t seem to up make it mind. As the article at some studios these two girls are too thin but at some studios they are perfect.

queenoftrashin @ 09/17/2008 at 2:40 pm

When I was about 20, my weight dropped to around 110 lbs. I am 5′4″. My mother became very concerned about me as she indicated that I was too thin and needed to eat. This from a woman that has harped on me most of my life about my weight. Yes, they should not be allowed on the show until they gain weight. They look sick.

They are way too thin, the look of the actors on this show is really sending the wrong message, I watched the first episode and that was it. They can’t even read their lines well, everything looks so ridiculous.
The GG girls ARE skinny, but don’t look sick. I mean, have you seen Blake Lively’s legs anyone?!
The girls on that cover are walking on toothpicks

They look amazing.

30- ur disgusting. they dont look amazinfg! its pretty clear the one with dark hair has an eating disorder. im natuarlly thin and I have a blake
lively type figure. these girls are NOT naturally this way. its pretty obvious

They look way to skinny. Not only is it a bad influence to young teenagers, but, c’mon, does that look like a healthy weight? They definately need an intervention before they wither away. My goodness…it is just sick.

def. 2 skinny
blake and leighton are skinny, but pretty
these 2 are just wayyy 2 skinny, it cant be healthy!

defenitely to thin!

i love series that’s all xD

anorexic?????? omg! I think they chose the whorest girls of the USA.

they need to gain some weight, hopefully they’ll do it the healthy way. like good food, exercise and positive encouragement.

that girl in the orange is pin thin! EAT something! i don’t even watch that show. the CW or WB is not the same anymore. i can’t even tune in to that channel.

The other chick looks anorexic. Sad.

these bulimic b!tches cant even act.

They look great. I’m sick of seeing disgusting fat people everywhere I go. If more girls looked like them I would be a lot happier. Yep I’m shallow, and I could care less.

Why is it their fault if stupid girls want to emulate what they see on tv. Get some self-esteem.

BLAIR WALDORF :) @ 09/17/2008 at 3:21 pm

leighton meester is skiny but she looks healthy, blake lively is normal size and shenae and jessica are way too skniny…it looks gross!!!….but jessica’s face is ******* gorgeous!!!…

They look sick and gross. They’re supposed to be the hot girls on the show and I wouldn’t touch them with someone else’s… well, you get what I’m sayin’

WAY too thin. It rewards destructive behaviour, and set an unattainable (and really, undesirable) standard for other teen girls who are too worried about optics and not worried enough about what is real and healthy.

shenae looks like shes just tinyyy but the other girl looks like she rly starving herself. u cud tell when someone is naturally rly skinny compared to someone who is aneroxic ..well at least i cud…

I agree, way too skinny and probably anorexic. Sad, I hope the “intervention” helps.

thank you im glad they realized these chicks are waay too thin. Its a disgusting image for young girls

DEFINITELY TOO SKINNY!!! EWWW Go eat some food! pleaseeeeeeeeeee

I think these girls look HOT! We have an obesity epidemic in the US, and I’m tired seeing fat young women! These girls are good examples for EVERY young woman!

Well, I’m tired of people calling others anorexic especially if they are in Hollywood. Maybe, just maybe, they are just naturally that thin. I mean, reporting it to the entire world isn’t going to help with the situation!

of course just right! Look at all Asian celebs, they are 80-90lbs

i agree and it’s scary…
when i watch 90210, i’m saying to them “eat something!!!”
maybe pretty head but such an ugly body…

shenae grimes has always been super small. Well for as long as I’ve seen her on degrassi for the past 4 years. I do think she is way to skiny. they both are. I think so anyway

i so agree … the one named sliver on the show is too too skinny… the main character … i’ve watched her grow up .her whole life like that ..

I have struggled with an eating disorder for 7 years of my life and am currently seeking treatment in order to change the bad habits I have acquired, and I find the girls on 90210 to be very damaging to young, impressionable teens. I won’t be watching the show anymore because it only feeds my desire to be as thin as possible. Luckily, the show is not very good! So at least I’m not missing out on much.

I would be incredibly refreshing to have a show aimed at teenagers where the girls looked their age and were a healthy size.

oh please they’re fine let them be! I don’t think that is too skinny at all. i wish i had those legs o.O

It’s kind of sad that they’ll point out these girls for being too small but the minute either put on some weight they’ll be deemed fat. It’s like you can’t win in hollywood.

i totally agree !

As someone who suffers from an eating disorder, I’d say these girls are way too skinny and are showing other females who watch the show (whether they’re young teens or even women in their 20s) the wrong image. Teenage girls should not be that thin and should not be walking around wearing skimpy clothes and too much make-up. These shows are making people grow up too fast and evaluating their bodies and looks in a completely unrealistic and unhealthy way.

dialectic @ 09/17/2008 at 4:33 pm

i wonder if anyone would spew such venom at fat women…would a magazine declare someone too fat?
better yet would anyone tell a fat person they dont even know to NOT eat a sandwich?
so why are skinny girls fair game? has the world turned into goldilocks? too fat,too skinny …just today someone told me im too thin and boney ..how am i supposed to respnd to that?

Normally I would say shut up, but there is that one 90210 girl(1st one on the cover) is really just ridiculously skinny.

umm did anybody see prom night jessica stroup was about 20 to 30 pounds heavier in it so obviously this is not her natural weight so to number 12 you are wrong. shenae grimes kind of looks naturally petite but still she could gain like 6 pounds and still be petite. its a bad example for teenage girls and thats a fact. but this show is horrible anyway its a great way to put you to sleep. i didnt see last night epi…but i did see last weeks and stroup looked liuek she was going to fall down there is skinny and then there is emaciated.

But the one on the left shenae doesn’T look that skinny but the one on the right looks anorexic. But what i find weird is that on the show yeah they look skinny but not as skinny as on those pictures. I wouldn’t mind looking like shenae :P

GG stars are not thin. they are just fine. these on the other hand is way to skinny. it look so disgusting.ew.

MovieMadness @ 09/17/2008 at 5:03 pm

I don’t know about Shenae, but the other girl starred in Prom Night as the friend that got killed and she had a lot more weight on her(look up pictures). So the naturally skinny thing goes out the window…I couldn’t believe that was the same girl….CRAZY

i agree they are far too thin.. they both look gorgeous in thier last past roles.. DNG and prom date..

and to think the camera adds pounds and they still look horrible ,,

Oh My God ! She’s so skinny, We can see her bones ! She’s horrible ! Give some money to Her ! She’s like a skeleton ! Poor Skinny skinny Girl !

MovieMadness @ 09/17/2008 at 5:09 pm

I see someone already said that, but heres a linK…http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1950979584/nm1888211
she actually had titties….

They’ll never ring in the gossip girl audience.

I actually noticed how thin they were in the pilot.

I don’t think Shenae looks bad, Jessica is really thin, but that could just be the way she is. The so called ’sources’ said that they were thin to start with and are even thinner. That picture of Jessica was taken at the Teen Choice Awards. I doubt she’s even more thinner now.

Yes, they need to put on weight, they’re too thin, but do they really need to put this on a cover of a magazine?!? That would never be done if a person was too fat. People need to remember its just as offensive if a person is too thin!!

Anorexia is such an overused an offensive word. People call Keira Knightley anorexic, yet she seems happy and healthy, never gaunt looking.

As for these girls, Shenae is definitely not too thin. She’s always been like that. Jessica is another story, but she’s been quite thin for quite a while.

gossipgirl @ 09/17/2008 at 5:40 pm

too thin compared to FAT people. thankyou, fat people for being sitting on yours asses complaining all day. you WISH you had natural metabolism.

leave them alone! if they are skinny thats their problem!
its unfair! just because they are on TV and they are ‘too skinny’, they need to start to eat cause its a bad example? what about the fat ones?

its ridiculous! im skinny too and im not sick!

I remember watching the first episode where Shenae Grimes (Annie) and her brother were in the pool and she was in a yellow bathingsuit. I almost dropped my drink. I was in complete shock at how thin she is…I thought I was the only one though. I noticed throughout the shows that whenever they have eating scenes people around her eat yet she moves the food around with her fork.

Dressed as they are on the cover of the magazine, they definitely look too skinny. On the show, they wear clothes that cover more. More food wouldn’t hurt them at all.

http://celebritytoday.today.com/

They obviously both had weight on them before the show.

http://www.newcelebwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/degrassi_darcy_edwards.jpg

I’m sure that’s only 10lbs but still it makes a HUGE difference.

Shenae is really skinny indeed.
Her clothes look so weird on her..especially her jeans..it’s like she’s wearing kid’s jenas and they’re ALWAYS too big for her thighs and butt.
And she looks like she has a huge head.

Jessica is thin but her clothes suit her better and she looks awesome to me. Really beautiful girl.

Yes these girls are tooooo SKINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed that since the first episode aired!!!!!!!!!!
They need to gain weight b/c they are pretty much sending out the wrong message.

A walking skeleton is really unattractive. Eat something girls.

way too skinny.

EWWWW they are WAYYYY too skinny! thats groossss…skinny is sooo NOT IN FASHION. im naturally skinny ..but i dont like being skinny..90210 looks GAYYY anywayz….GOSSiP GiRL is wayyyy BETTER! i lovee gossip girl! its not actually boring! its exciting! and they need to gain alot of weight! itts not healthy!

THEY ARE ANOREXIC!!
THERE’S A LOT OF KIDS THAT WATCH THIS SHOWS! THIS IS A NOT GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THEM

I knew jessica growing up we weren’t close but she has always been skinny. I notice that there skinny but I don’t think there starving themselves. The story is prob made up just for sales. But they seem edited in that picture on the show they looked more full.

They are definitely too thin.

newport beach, 92660 @ 09/17/2008 at 8:35 pm

So what?? I weigh 96lbs… but then again I’m just 5”4… I know I’m short..

But Shenae, really 90′lbs… Not EVERYONE in California weighs less than 100lbs… and since she’s from Canada, she doesn’t really know how Calif really works… :P

look amazing? Whoever said that needs a reality check. Maybe the network should start casting normal looking girls instead of casting anorexic girls…they all look the same.

I agree and Shenae has been around for a while on the Canadian airways with Degrazzi the next generation and she did not look that thin then… I agree they are setting a bad example and the last thing the world needs is to fall bad into this groove of eating disorders being glorified, I think Hollywood and even the modeling industry has been improving a lot, slowly mind you but it is a start.

These girls, aswell as Taylor Momsen from Gossip Girl, are too thin! It’s ridiculous that these girls are on TV trying to set an example for teenage girls!

YES! They are most DEFINITELY too skinny!!!!!!!!!!! ARGGG.

I noticed on the very first episode that the girls looked anorexic.

It’s frustrating that these are the people that naive teens look up to.

I’m not sure if they are naturally this thin but It doesn’t look like it to me.

THE HEART OF LIFE @ 09/17/2008 at 11:16 pm

The first thing I noticed when watching the new 90210 was how skinny these two are. They need some help.

they don’t look very healthy. don’t get me wrong they are beautiful girls but…it looks like they need some weight on em.

When i first watched the show i didn’t realize their weight.
I think they look beautiful. they are a little thin but everybody wishes they could look that amazing. you may say you don’t want to look that skinny but it is mainly because you will never be that skinny, it’s yourself in denile. but personally i htink jessica and shenae look fabulous. i think i may just start my diet tomorrow! GO SKINNY CHICKS! XOXO

Shenae is normal but not the other one, she is anorexic for sure.
And the GG cast is normal, leighton is beautiful !!!

um….anorexic much…….the shows crap aswell it just teaches girls to be whores.I like gossip girl better….at least they are normal with normal bodies.

I dont know about the other girl and her deal, but Shenae Grimes is fine. She’s on Degrassi and she looks fine on that. I think those photos are airbushed too much to make stories like that.

I have no idea what that guy is talking about regarding ABC and CBS. In general in Hollywood the majority of actresses are a size 0-4.

I absolutelly agree…………. too thin

Yeah! Get them off my TV! I miss the days of Roseanne and Rosie O Donnell. Thin is disgusting. I want big fat pigs to star in my TV shows and movies! That’s the way god intented it!

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIN

I had to change the station, it made me ( a fit person) very, very nervous !

GG is not skinny,they are healthy fit.but 90210 is very skinny.

WTF is wrong with u ppl, one minute ppl too fat, the next they are too skinny… no celebrity shud be forced to gain weight to be on a show, cus no celebrity is forced to loose weight to be on a show, how one sided and bias is that BS… nothing is wrong with them, absolutely nothing, i bet a bunch of fat gurls wrote this article anyway.
power to anorexics all around the world!

UM.. shinae grimes or whatever is clearly suffering from an eating dissorder.
Would you like to google her in Degrassi: the Next Generation you can see a HUGE DIFFERENCE in her body. And jessica stroup omfg, her upper arms are the size of my wrists………
They need help clearly. Shinae grimes has curves and breasts, and where are they now?

OKAY THE TRUTH @ 09/18/2008 at 5:36 pm

Shenae grimes IS suffering from an eating dissorder.
Guys incase you didn’t know um she’s canadian and she was on a canadian show called Degrassi, i dare any of you to google images of her THIS YEAR a couple of months before 90210 aired, There is a DRAMATIC difference in her body weight! So pelase stop saying “OH SHES SMALL ITS OK” because it clearly isnt’. She’s anorexic. Her ribcage never showed like that. Her arms weren’t that small. Her face wasn’t that thin, infact when she smiled in Degrassi she has a full face. So Call it what you want! She’s anorexic.
GG is way better everything is better and better style.

I actually just did a blog about this today on how I decided to stop watching the show, b/c of the issue. I understand escapism, but I don’t understand why we should be encouraged to escape into something so unhealthy. Thin is in, so to speak, but do we really want to encourage girls to be THIS thin. It’s one thing to strive to be healthy, but undereating and overexercising leads to all sorts of physical and mental problems. Really, no one should want to go down this road.

G l higgs @ 09/18/2008 at 7:16 pm

They look unhealthy and stupidly skinny! Not good looking at all, They look like they were yanked out of a refugee camp and hosed down and fought over a pile of designer clothes. SAD really SAD

Sessy JEssie @ 09/18/2008 at 7:59 pm

Okay, so I’m 23, 5′3″ and weigh 100lbs and have stayed in that range for many years. The only bones I can see on me are collarbones. I don’t look boney as I have a healthy body fat percentage and I have always been muscular and and you can visibly see that on my arms, abs….with these girls, however, they have minimal body fat which gives Jessica Stroup(supposedly 5′8″) that boney starving look. I’m considered underweight at my height so if she weighs only 100lbs she OBVIOUSLY needs to gain weight. Shena is listed on the web at 5′3″ and 5′6″ but I’m thinking she’s closer to my height. She does look thin as I do too but with her petite figure if she weighs only 90lbs she looks acceptable. She appears to have less body fat and sure she could gain some weight but she’s not in as much danger as Jessica. She is obvioulsy ignoring her health and well-being. I hope a light bulb turns on in that head of hers to start a healthy life.

they are gorgeous!

I think they are fine , hot actually
i think all u fat girls are just jealous, get a life ffs

they are too slim. one of them looks anorexic!!

these girls look amazing… when will the Oprahfication of America end?. (when we all die of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart attacks.) they are in excellent shape. not thin and unhealthy. but toned, with good muscle definition. Fat kills 1000 times more Americans than thin does. so quit hating and start a regular routine of diet and exercise.

i think they are deffinitly too thin. Im 5″5 and 100 lbs..have gotten to 90 lbs but I am a recovering anorexic and being at such a low weight is deffinitly not healthy. Anymore weight loss and it could be very dangerous. a BAD example for tv but i hope they get some help.

I know some peopel are naturally thin…but these girls are just too thin and clearly don’t have much muscle too. Both of these girls have lost weight, I’ve seen pics of them from the past…especially Jessica Stroup, who in the movie Prom Night wieghed much more then she does now. They are really bad actors too.
The GG girls are perfectly healthy, only Jenny is real thin..but that is her body type.

CHEEZBURGAAARRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZ @ 09/19/2008 at 10:01 pm

i think they really need to put on some weight.
they’re gorgeous though.

These girls look sick. It’s not that they are thin but that there are bones sticking out everywhere. I would guess that these girls are a size 00. I say that because I was very skinny before and wore a size 2 and 0 and I may have been little but did not have bones protruding. I had muscle.

skinny is great!!!

well, i think they look wonderful. i wish i was that thin!! that would be great!

SKIN & BONES

everyone needs to stop hating on these girls. i feel the skinner the better (as long as the woman doesn’t start looking skeleton like). shanae is ridiculously beautiful with a killer body. in my opinion she is one of the sexiest actresses currently in the limelight.

i have not seen the show, and i’m sure never will. so the criticism of the poor acting is probably warranted, but keep up the good work shanae. there are a ton of guys like myself that think you are gorgeous with an unbelievable body!

People who say Shenae has always been skinny need to watch an episode of Degrassi. She’s always been very thin, yes, and I was actually jealous of her body type back then. When I saw the first episode of 90210, I couldn’t help thinking how skinny she’s gotten- both of the girls look like you could easily snap their arms in half. Some people are naturally lean and lanky, but protruding bones and extreme emaciation are usually the result of a) eating disorders b) drug use c) some other physical issue, be it hormonal or an illness. My heart goes out to the latter, but given the culture of Hollywood, I highly doubt that’s the case with these girls.

im finding this hard to digest.
i way 95.
and i eat like a horse.
We dont know what these girls lifes are like we dont know what there daily routine is & so what if their costars have never seen them eat - perhaps they are like me & dont like it when people watch them eat - so i eat at home.
im fed up with people scrutinizing the size of famous people one day they are to skinny the next to fat.
you cannot have it all your way so give up.
and lets face it - skinny chicks get better ratings.
there i said it.
im not saying we should all be skinny i am saying people prefer to watch a skinny person on tv then a fat one.
and those girls are normals size im bloody normal arnt i?
its not bulimia or anorexia its a metabolism.
look it up genius’

Shenea Grimes and Jessica Stroup are defiantly way too thin. Considering when Jessica was in Prom Night a year ago she defianatly weighed at least 15-20 more then she does now and she looked great. Don’t get me wrong they’re both gorgeous girls but it does give a bad example to young girls watching the show. Annalynne Mccord is thin as well but defianatly abit healthier looking then the other two actresses. Hopefully the girls can get healthy, and, if they do have eating disorders get some help

These girls look ill. I cannot watch the show without becoming distracted by their lack of body fat!

As a personal trainer and pre-med student, I have been educated in this area, and trust me, there is a difference between simply having a petit frame, and starving yourself, and these girls are clearly starving themselves.

They are not healthy, and are certainly unfit role models for young women. It makes me sick when young girls hire me to ‘get skinny’ like these horrifyingly thing young actresses.

their not as skinny as they appear in these pictures, but yes, they are really thin. but bashing them for that is no different than bashing someone casue their overweight. its their problem, not ours, everyone needs to chill out.
it doesn’t really matter, their still the same people, the same actors, their weight has nothing to do with it!

Would you stop telling them to ‘eat something’.
Personally, I think saying that is sicker than not eating.
All you ever see on magazine covers are pictures of stars that are too big being harassed, and people stuck up for them.
Yeah, these girls could probably be healthier, but i’d rather look like them than someone too heavy.

They’re both OK. Shanea is only 5′3″ and I do think she probably weighs more than 90…like 95. But even if she does weigh 90 that’s still not to thin. Jessica is very thin but not too thin really. At 5′8″ she is probably about 105…. maybe 100 but I don’t think so. Jessica has a very small frame and body and can easily weigh that little. She’s also very defined and fit. They’re both amazingly beautiful and perfectly thin. I don’t know why everyone picks on them just because they’re skinny. God, I know how they feel being 5′6″ and definitely thinner than Jessica, and I get comments… nasty ones. No one would ever dare say anything so horrible about an overweight person. I’m proud of my body just as it is and I’m sure Jessica and Shanea feel the same way about their boddies and hate all this stuff about them being “too skinny” They’re perfect as thay are.

They are beautiful girls. I’m sure that most women want to look like hers but they don’t confess it because they are sure that they will never have so amazing figure.
By other side, most men feel strongly excited if he could hold a light, maleable and so skinny body like those of these girls. Nobody can stay impassible holding those delicate waists or embracing such a beautiful girls.——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

They are soooooooooo right!! I loved these actresses…it’s so sad.I hope they will get better.

they should just eat !!their making me wanna go on a diet and look like them!!!

I think she looks fantastic.

Im sorry those girls are really skinny. Some people like that look…a 20ish year old women looking like 12 year old pre-pubecent boy; no ass no boobs;just flat. Thats not cute. That one girls..you can see her ribcage! I like having a booty and boobs. I rather be fat than paper thin anyday.

This is totally photoshoped! they don’t look nearly that skinny, they are pretty thin but not like that. Look at the pictures that justjared posts, u don’t see their bones!

Too damn thin. Even IF they were naturally skinny, teens are easily influenced. They will think that THAT is the idela beauty and starve themselves.

Yeah, we all read the artical, it’s obvious they are very skinny. But if they were over weight there wouldn’t be an article, “TOO FAT FOR TV?” Some girls are just like that, it’s like if you’re naturally 95lbs you much be a crack ***** or anorexic. Setting a bad example is saying everyone should be one size. Even if it is the average size. There is always gonna be the %10 who are too big or too skinny who feel horrible. Why not shutup about weight all together and just be happy!
I’m done.

as much as it’s disgusting to look,
i wish i could look like that.
like jessica looks unhealthy, and shenae i’ve looked up to since her days on degrassi.
i would like to see them healthier, i look up to them.
but at the same time i want to look like that.

ok well thruthfully both of these girls are beautiful
shanea does seem rather skinny but not on the edge of anorexia
she seems thin but i also think the way she was standing made her seem even more thin
I mean personaly when i stand up like that you can also see my ribs but I have a healthy weight
she has some leg muscle and her face looks more filled in
now jessica on the other hand WOW
now that girl doesnt look borderline to anorexia she looks ANOREXIC
I watch gossip girl i watch one tree hill
leighton meester and blake lievly yeah they are skinny but they look healthy
in one tree hill peyton, brooke, hailey i think that is the show in which all of the stars look healthy
i like 90201 but these girls are hurting themselves and are hurting the people who watch it
all those young girls that are struggling with their image
and believe that they are fat when they really arent
this just makes them feel horrible these girls need to realize all the harm they are producing to themselves and START EATING

i think they look perfect.

they’re to skiny
it’s like thinspiration, i mean blake lively or leygthon are hot chiks, skinys but cute.
90210 shows anorexiaaaaaa, it’s stupid.
i mean when shanae was on degrassi she was skinny but not this much, or at least she was wearing clothes in there, that maybe.

Of course some people are naturaly thin…. i am one of them BUT you can tell the difference between naturally thin and anorexic thin… and believe me, these girrls fall into the second category! In my whole life I only met one girl that looks like that and eats normaly…. only one! two in the same show is a hell lot of coincidence

this story is b.s.
a. the cw is full of shows with normal girls, gossip girl (skinny and super great bodies but not stick thin), one tree hill (except peyton), the game, priviledged those are all shows full of girls with great skinny but not emaciated bodies like that of jessica stroup
shenae has always been like that (since degrassi) and to me looks fabulous not too skinny , way skinnier than most cw girls but not super duper just short but jessica is just disgustinggggg looking at her body eww it’s un natural in so many ways (especially compared to just months earlier in prom night) she is obviously not eatting and it’s disgustingg

yh they are way too skinny which doesnt make them look attractive they should have meat on them this is very depressing to see these aspiring role models personify a bad image to thiey fellow fans

everybody was saying look at pics of shanae grimes on digrassi so i did and yes she was a bit fuller in the face but it doesnt look like she’s lost tht much weight tht she should be called an anorexic!
she still looks great now i think her body weight right now suits her and she doesnt look like shes going to crack as some ppl have said.
jessica looks great thin she coulld put on a few more pounds but she doesnt look too thin to me. i dont know i think they both look great. my opinion but

Okay, so the Gossip Girl actresses do not look starved. They look fine. These girls on the other hand look malnutritioned. Like they spent all their lives living in some remote African town. If you watch the show Shenae Grimes ( the one on the left) is actually much much thinner. This is an odd angle, which makes her look slightly better than how she actually is.
Please, please get these people off the show. I feel insecure looking at myself when I see them. And I am thin, so there’s not much need for me to feel that way. Maybe if they concentrated less on being thin and MORE on acting, they would have careers after this show.

jubaleya andrews @ 01/17/2009 at 5:43 pm

to begin off with shanea is not at all good looking, maybe if she got rid of the cheap hair dye she could stand a chance. I dont know why 90210 would ever cast such a herendous chick next to the other beauties. shenea no one is jelous of your bones , believe me. to the girl who says leave us boney people alone, i think you need a poutine you are probably a major loser and think that shanae is pretty. you want shanae to be you friend so she can make your boney ass hotter. well heads up your both gross. TO Jessica S , you are model potential, just stop eating lettuce. Your eyes are stunning. Shanae wishes she was you, that why you both flaunt the anorexic look. You both should realize that skinny was never in. Shanae go get your hair styled by a professional not a slumbag, you do have nice clothes though, but your hairstylist is a peice of crud… ,the only time it looks good is when it is done for the show. U are probably ugly duckling off set. So go eat some pasta with meat sauca so you dont fall over.
I personally dont know how dustin kisses you , he looks down and sees a twiglette. If you want him in real life cause you clearly do, please for his benefit eat lunch and dinner. If he already has taken you then he has no taste and will never get any decent girl again.
Thats it shanae, you need more advice ask models adriana and naomi.

wow, i think they look perfect.

i hope they dont gain any weight

Come on! yeah they are really thin, but people will call them fat if they gain any weight!

Kelsey7717 @ 03/04/2009 at 1:06 am

I have a friend that is 18 and weighs 87 pounds, and yet she does not have an eating disorder.
She looks just fine, she just looks small.
Same with Shenae. She is just small. Leave her alone.

I think that they are both small boned. Perhaps they could gain some weight but I kind of like it. Thats how I wish I looked.

isabela parada aguirre @ 03/26/2009 at 3:21 am

HEY PEOPLE!! THERES A THING CALLED PHOTOSHOP!! they are NOT that skinny in real lifee!!

i think they look good specially in 90210
they are skinny but i think they motivate people to loose unnessasary weight! which is goood
its up to everyone how they look and up to you whoever you follow. i dont think people should feel presurised by whoever just because their different, its up to you.

i love this show. Shenae and Jessica are skinnny but pretty. they are alive so they aren’t super super skinny. idk

the girl that plays annie isnt that pretty!! but they both look like lollipops and lots of girls when they watch 90210 are heavily influenced by the girls and want to be just like them! meaning they would do anything to look like their idols!

smallville @ 06/22/2009 at 6:49 am

the girl on the left is crazy skinny, u can see her bones.. it’s disgusting.. and she really can’t act!!

i think shenae is more normal than jessica. jessica has cheek bones jabbing out, and you can see almost every bone in her body! shenae only has her bony ribcage, but thats normal. i am 121 lbs and 5 ft 1 and you can see my ribs… well shenae’s legs are normal and i think she is fine!

boobooboo @ 08/02/2009 at 3:41 pm

I think they look beautiful.

@I N F A M O U S, bish!: you are full of crap that chick looks amazing,shanae that is……your just jealous.. actually shes smokin hot…… anyone that would think shes ugly is out of thei mind..maybe its all of you who are on coke

shanae is freakin gorgeous…your all just jealous…shes a little tiny thing…very sexy for her age….

They mostly need more muscle, and they are both posing in ways that make them look thin(ner). Not okay for girls that tiny.

i think this is photoshopped

i think this is photoshopped

@tia: they have a problem its up to them to fix it, or there going to have a long visit underground.
