Older90210 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 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?
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.
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
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.
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!
