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?

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.
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.
