Penn Badgley to ‘90210′ Girls: Eat A Cheeseburger!
Gossip Girl hunk Penn Badgley heard that the blogosphere is abuzz about 90210’s skinny starlets and how they are too thin for TV.
The 21-year-old actor told Popeater that he’s “never been proponent of the thin L.A. girls” and is glad that the females on his hit CW show “aren’t bone-thin.” (He’s currently romancing his on-and-off-screen girlfriend Blake Lively.)
Penn had some advice for the girls of 90210 (also a CW show): “I hope they eat a double cheeseburger or something.”
Sounds like there’s a feud brewing between the casts of 90210 and Gossip Girl!

haha yeah true they need to eat.. a lot
no kidding. good advise. those chicks look like anorexic drug bunnies.
Hit tv show my ass! boy stop hating because they have the ratings you want!
HATER!
he’s right!
gossip girl is way better!
they got 3.6 viewers last week!
3.6 million- my bad. ahha
You tell them Penn!
Well Taylor Momsen looks as equally thin as those girls…
OMG! The one in the middle… is just…. WAY yo unhealthy!
That’s so random… the legs are just… OMG…
Sad… very sad…
Penn is so cute! And he’s so right! :) yay for him not supporting anorexic girls!!!
Penn Badgley needs to eat a burger himself. He’s a little too skinny too.
my god;.
on riight they need a cheeseburger
I HATE when people say that. Eating junk food to gain weight back is equally as unhealthy and it’s not going to solve anything. Maybe, at least one of them, is perhaps naturally that thin.
Um, The girls an GG are just as thin as the girls on 90210. Who is this Penn Badgley or whatever the heck his name is to tell them to eat a cheeseburger. He needs to tell his girlfriend to eat a burger.
The difference between Taylor and them #7 is that Taylor’s only 15 and still growing into her body.
I ******* love shenea grims! Shes amazing and i
effing love her! lmfao
:]]
he is correct eat something please.
LOOL #7 taylor is just 15…….
They should eat !
2skinny for tv, now thats bad 4 your kids america.
Even though I don’t watch those shows..from the pictures of the cast of Gossip girls, the girls there actually have more meat then the girls in 90210.
they could be naturally thin, but natural thin people don’t look that thin. Especially at that age.
I wouldn’t say eat a cheeseburger, I’ll say eat a full meal steaks or something.
I think Penn is right. Whether or not he should have said it, that’s another story.
The girls do need to eat. It’s just not attractive. It’s especially stupid considering they’re all good looking. Being this thin makes gorgeous girls look terrible, ultra-skinny doesn’t look good on anyone.
LMAO at people bragging GG gets 3. whatever viewers. Um, hello, that’s total ****. Yes, they got praised for it this week, but only because it’s much better than the 1. / 2. whatever a bunch of their season 1 episodes got.
Shows like House, Bones, Ghost Whisperer, Smallville get like 10. something, or even more each episode.
Which means, all the hype, gloss, attraction disolves when the average person actually sits down for an hour and watches it.
Hey, hate me all you want. Comment back with “why are you commenting,” blah, blah. It still doesn’t change the fact the ratings are dreadful.
i agree that those girls are too thin but he souldn’t have said it it’s just wrong and rude!
how about they eat healthfully…i’m don’t think that eating a cheeseburger will help their problem. especially if their bodies aren’t used to that much fat all at once.
Fact is, its doing way better than 90210, And those other shows, arent relevant to the discussion so eat a.
I hope 90 gets cancelled.
Screw 90210!
TEAM GOSSIP GIRL!!!!!
he just can’t stand the compitition bleh you suck penn don’t be bullying no girls its not your place =P
90210 is so bad. The acting is horrible.
Penn Badgely usually sucks, but I agree with him: they’re horrifyingly skinny. Poor Jessica Stroup and AnnaLynne McCord….
It’s easy for him to say that but would he ever consider dating anyone who didn’t look like a supermodel?
Penn is right although he could have been a bit more diplomatic.
Blake and Leighton put those girls to shame, they’re beautiful and healthy.
Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are thin, but they do not look like the 90210 girls. They look healthy.
Taylor Momsen is a little scary skinny, but like others said, she’s only 15 so it’s possible she’s still just in the young awkward teenage body phase. The 90210 actresses are adults.
OMG SOMEONE Pleaseeeeeeeeee feed them
They are pretty darn thin.. but I think the girl that plays Silver is gorgeous and I love her characters style… yeahh she’s cool … skinny as hell but cool lol
K,
you ’sound’ fat-n-ugly.
.
zeggy,
stfu, if they nɛed to eat a cheeseburger, then they need to eat a cheɛseburger. why candy-coat it.. pʊssy!
.
Helena,
you stupid jīzz-filled-whorɛ. how you comparɛ a tweeny 15 y/o to adults. you should be beating by ā group of nʊt-sacks.
both shows suck but 90210 is worse i couldnt even make it through an episode….whats with all these attacks on skinny girls? would penn (is that his real name? why do his parents hate him?) make an annoucement that fat girls need to exercise? i doubt it…
number 3 ur a total idiot. Gossip Girl is still the highest rated show on the CW and the other night it pulled in the most viewers that she station has EVER had for any show. Since the premiere of 90210, its ratings have dropped by almost 2 million viewers. get your facts straight
Gossip girl is better and always will be. 90210 = Horrible acting, Fake, Disgusting fashion, and Two anorexics.
Gossip girl = Better actors, Hotter actors, HEALTHY actresses, AMAZING Style, and just way more popular. Sorry no one can top
a Best seller made into a tv show. Not even “americas favorite zip-cod that defines a generation”
Pfft.
@clara
LMAO.
Yes, you’re right. They are the highest, but highest meaning - the crappiest highest.
The ratings for such a highly, highly, highly promoted show are dreadful. Just because they’re at the top, doesn’t mean the top is outstanding numbers.
It just means the crap did better than the crappier.
#14, what the hell are you talking about? Taylor was never that thin. Rent Paranoid Park and see what I’m talking about. Nothing to do with growth.
I agree with him. It’s good that a man in hollywood is speaking out against it. Although, he should speak to Taylor because she is thinner than all 3 of them!
Yeah they need to eat more. It’s very scary, like is this the assumption that people who live in Beverly Hills are supposed to be stick thin people? Well the girls on GG are thin too, but not as skinny as 90210. I say they all eat some hamburgers and bulk up a little. haha
it’s true that the girls do need to eat, but he should not have said that. it’s rude. but they do look unhealthy.
not to be a b*tch or anything, but whoever says GG is the top rated show on the CW is completely wrong. Last year it was one of the lowest rated shows on the network. And the ratings it got Monday night weren’t the highest the network has ever gotten. 90210 premiered with almost 5 million, smallville one tree hill and americas next top model have all gotten over 4 million viewers numerous times, which is something GG has never even come close to doing.
He is f*cking rude, if this girl have anorexia, he should show some respect, it is a difficult and painfull desease, i can tell that.
wtf.. the girls of gg are not thin. blake and leighton are actually very healthy looking..
I like both Gossip Girl and 90210.But the 90210 girls do look skinny
So TRUE!!!
ugh sorry my comment double posted again
its great being skinny and those girls look amazing..
but dayummmm just EAT! your way tooo skinny..your not gonna b sooooo fat!
penn’s absolutely right. they are extremely skinny.GG girls are average girls, blake has a good healthy body.
i think they should eat 2 cheeseburgers
I hope now 90210 is such a success they can afford a cheeseburger. lol
no, but it is true though. I just watched the first episode of 90210 today because I heard it was really really really good. so i check it out, and the main female girl is extra thin. like, i really can’t believe they cast her. she’s a bad example for the me and my friends at school. but, the show is good though. and i can understand why penn is so upset. Gossip Girl is getting boring, and 90210 is on fire.
I can’t wait for watch the 2,3, and 4 episodes later!
Penn is so right! They need to eat!!
i agree with him….they’re way thin!
The 90210 girls ain’t got nothing on the beautiful GG cast.
Eat your heart out, ******s. And maybe a burguer too
Has thisdumbass ever seen his gf or the other female castmates on HIS show? ALL of these girls (on both shows) look like anorexic crackwhores.
#3 SHUT UP !! 90210 is an okay show but GOSSIP GIRL IS THE TV SHOW OF THE YEAR SO SHUT UP GG HAS MUCH BETTER RATINGS THEN 90210
YES EAT B.I.TCHES
YEah they really do need to eat! and if there is ever a feud b/w the show i’m totally team GoGi!!!! the show is much better and the women are waaayyy healthier looking
whether penn badgley is wrong or right, its really not his place to be saying rude things like that.
its the same as saying “oh yea, shes fat she should stop munching those Twinkies”
but no one says stuff like that in public to fat people.
the fact is being thin is much more socially acceptable than being fat thats why people feel like its okay to humiliate and attack skinny people publicly.
Also, im 20, 5′5 and eat everything you can imagine (indian food, italian, subs, chipotle, sushi blah) but i have never weighed more than 90 pounds in my entire life..been to every doctor possible and they give me the same answer- high metabolism, and i will be this way until i have children. And when people say things like Penn Badgely it is actually hurtful because I feel like people are punishing me for being myself. I thought i was pretty comfortable in my own skin til i found out that thats what guys really think.
Taylor Momsen is the only girl that is as skinny as them. I don’t think Blake Lively and Leighton Meester look healthy. Whoever thinks Taylor is just skinny because she’s growing into her body is insane, she’s been loosing weight too fast to use the excuse of “growing into her body”. Kudos to Penn for being against the anorexic stars of 90210!
This is really sad. I mean the girls from gossip girl are thin but they are healthy. These girls from 90210 definitely aren’t and I’m sorry it’s not setting a good example because some people probably watch it thinking oh that’s how I should look. This skinny **** really needs to stop!! I know people that are like these girls and it’s just rediculous! I don’t understand it because it’s really not attractive. I would never in my entire life want to be that skinny.
They look too skinny, which makes them look like white trash and is gross. It’s the networks fault for letting these skels on TV.
I don’t think either Blake or Leighton are skinny. They’re average. The 90210 girls, especially Jessica, well that’s a different story.
Am I the only one bothered by Penn Badgley’s PSEUDO-intellectual expression? He has this “I am way cooler than you, and I only listen to indie bands no one knows” look about him. But if he was so intellectual then why’s he dating a bimbo like Blake Lively.
He should stop buying cheeseburgers for Blake..
she needs to lose some weigth.
I Love Penn Badgley I got to meet him and he was sooo nice (and so was Blake).
I really dont think he was trying to be rude or meant for it to come out rude.. even though its a good suggestion..
I like 90210 but love GG.
(”Forever Strong!” = )
i agreee lik jesus … they look horrible .. they look like they’ve been throwing up
GO GOSSSSIP GIRLS! NYCITY GIRLS! BLAKE AND LEIGHTON ARE HEALTHY GOOD LOOKING GIRLS COMPARE TO THE ONES FROM 90210. LETS SEE HOW LONG THIS ****** SHOW WILL LAST. 90210 WAS SHITTING BEFORE AND IT’S STILL ****** NOW.
Both the girls from 90210 and GG need to eat.
I’m glad even Hollywood types are seeing this horrible trend!
His girlfriend is beauty and has beautiful curves. Case in point the 2 on vacation. She has a beautiful womanly body.

Also Leighton Meester looks beautiful and healthy in her bathing suit.

The girls on Gossip Girl are alot more healthy looking. The girls on 90210 are CRAZY thin and are almost to the point of how Nicole Richie was way back in the bagging bathsuit days. I would NOT want to see Shenae Grimes or Jessica Stroup in a bathing suit. Although we saw Shenae on the first episode thank god for not to long.

OHH DONT YOU DARE SAY PENN SUCKS!!
penn is right!! 90210 people are too skinny!
and are real bad actors!
He’s right.
Our advice to Penn. STFU! Stop hating on others to bring attention to yourself. LOSER!
hmm, no offense but Taylor Momsen is as skinny as those girls (maybe SKINNIER)!
yeah i have told it first…these girl is like sick…ewwww
gossip girl sets a worse example for kids than 90210 does with all the sex and ****
i hate gossip girl
thats soo true:]]
its nice to hear from a celebrity that
being a walking skelaton is not in style nomoreee!!
way-to-go pennn
GG rocksss
They all need to eat cheeseburgers. it’s ridiculous how thing these girls are. They don’t even look pretty in those dresses due to their extreme low weight.
the show itself never mentioned anything about these girls being thin and the show never portrayed anyone being anorexic or bulimic. the actresses are thin yes, but their characters and the show are not in any way promoting being thin.
how can people judge them as setting this “example” when “being thin” is not even part of the storyline? it’s ok to say that they are bad influences if their characters in the show refer to “being thin” as something cool. or if the show gives much importance on “thinness” within the storyline. but they’re not.
it just so happened that these actresses are thin in real life. it’s a PHYSICAL FEATURE they have and in no way are they “influencing” people to be thin just because physically, they are thin. and we cannot judge them for that because we do not know why they are this skinny and we don’t need to know why because they are not in a campaign to get girls to eat less. ITS JUST HOW THEY ARE PHYSICALLY. it’s weird. penn is f***ed up. it’s stupid. it’s like saying that blake is “influencing” people to be blonde…or something. hahahaha. ‘ if i remember correctly, it was blair’s character, who forces herself to throw up after eating in a few episodes in season one of gossip girl.
Penn’s not fucked up! talk about yourself! if your going to post negative comments. GO AWAY! what gives you the right to say his fucked up! and 71# how on earth is he trying to hate on others!?? ITS TOTALLY TRUE! they look so skinny! im horrified! im sure you dont even know if he smells! so just please back away!
Penn is very talented and states what he believes! good on you Penn! l
skinny does NOT ALWAYS mean unhealthy. just as much as chubby does NOT ALWAYS mean healthy. i have always been a very voracious eater. but never in my life i gained more than a hundred pounds. this is because i came from a family with high metabolism. other people come from a huge family with big bone structures and slow metabolism, so eating a little packs several pounds in an instant. SOMETIMES IT IS GENETICS. i have a friend who has a thyroid dysfunction and she’s super skinny. this is caused by an imbalance in the production of hormones from the thyroid. the opposite condition will cause you to be super fat. SOMETIMES IT IS MEDICAL. we cannot conclude that all skinny girls do not eat as much as we cannot conclude all fat people eat too much.
@olivia, please read what you posted. you said and i quote if your going to post negative comments. GO AWAY! ”
if this is how u fell then, maybe you should be telling this to penn BADgely too.
@olivia, please read what you posted. you said and i quote “if your going to post negative comments. GO AWAY! ”

@Olivia, you said and i quote “if your going to post negative comments. GO AWAY!”

oops sorry multiple posts. my connection is being weird. =)
Shenae Grimes and AnnaLynne McCord don’t seem to thin to me. They are thin, but I don’t think that they’re TOO thin. Jessica Stroup, on the other hand, NEEDS to gain weight IMMEDIATELY. She looks like she is going to break in half.
even his gf blake lively is stick thin
LMAO… All actresses are that skinny. From size 00-4 max.
Penn is right.. those skinny, not so normal body (90210’s cast) make me sick.. Look the girls at GG cast, they have healthy & Normal body. I agreed with Tony #19..
I love Penn!
yes, i do agree.. someone feed them or they’re going to die on set! seriously!
Poor girls, thinking they hav a hit show an have to look good meaning starve and look anorexic! can u imagine the bones showing w the clothes off!! ick ick
OHMY ppl get a life,
your just jealous cause your not that skinny,
and BTW the camera ads 10 pounds they are a little too skinny
they need to gain weight but GET OVER IT
Annalynne McCord (the one on the right) looks perfectly healthy, fit even. Jessica and Shenae are the ones that need to gain weight.
yeah they really need to eat a lot it looks like they have a kind of disorder
penn told this because his girlfriend is fat ! love 90210 and GG & i think girls are natural thin
