The stars of the new 90210 are featured on current issue of Us Weekly, along with the headline, “Too Thin for TV.” The mag claimed Shanae Grimes and Jessica Stroup have lost too much weight, and their co-stars and producers are about to “take action.”
“They want the girls to gain weight,” a show source tells Us. “They are trying too hard to be skinny, and it’s started to wear on them. It’s just not healthy.”
Stroup, 21, is 5-foot-8 but weighs 100 to 105 pounds while Grimes, 18, is 5-foot-3 and stands at a mere 90 pounds, Beverly Hills-based weight-management expert Dr. Joyce Peters estimates to Us.
“I’ve never seen Jessica or Shenae eat,” another show source tells Us.
“I heard some of the boys on the show are going to sit down with the girls and talk to them,” an additional show source tells Us.
“The girls were all skinny when they started, but they’re definitely thinner now,” the source adds.
Are these broads any skinnier than the stars of Friends, Grey’s Anatomy, or any other popular TV show? They look a like to me: underfed and older than their actual age.

The news on the radio this morning said that ABC, CBS and NBC have a checklist that includes “too skinny” as a bad point, but the CW doesn’t have anything like that and they encourage their stars to be thinner. I have no idea if there’s any truth to it, but damn.

the shanae chick looks normal in that pic, but the other girl looks horrible & she’s a really pretty girl but looks like an old lady there. However shanae looks disgustingly skinny in the show.

Whatevs. I’m roughly the same height as Shanae, I’m 6 years older than her, and I weigh less! Alyk can testify that I’m pretty healthy even though I don’t weigh very much. I don’t think being 90 lbs and only 5′3″ is unhealthy by any means. However, 5′8″ and being 100 is a bit scary.

What annoys me about the show is the ages of the actors! What a joke, how is anyone supposed to believe they are kids???WTF Maybe they are so skinny to try to look 16.. Real kids should be hired to play new parts and this bunch of losers could be phased out!
