90210 Stars: Too Thin For TV?

If you watched the new 90210 and thought the cast were too skinny, you're not alone.

Penn Badgley thinks they need to eat a cheeseburger.

What are your thoughts?

aside from that i think the show is really bad as far as teen soaps go... and they seem to have a lot of shows to compete with this season.  i don't see the show lasting very long.  and that main girl is definitely too thin.

It's true that they may not be much thinner than other celebrities...however, the thing that worries/bothers me is that they weren't always this thin, and in fact they lost the weight relatively quick.  (Mostly I'm referring to Jessica Stroup...mostly.) 

Stroup was in the movie Prom Night, and she appeared to be at a healthy weight, perhaps at a middle-ish BMI for her height.  She looked great!  The movie just came out on video not too long ago....and now she looks like a 12 year old boy, with twiggy arms and legs.....and no boobies....I don't think that significant weight loss in that amount of time would be considered healthy.

Seriously, google her...and see the difference from prom night to 90210....scary :(

 You are so right! I'm looking at some of these pictures and this is kinda mean but they look so grossly disproportionate...not good at all... their heads look HUGE on their rail thin bodies... I wonder if they realize that at all..They look like someone photoshopped their heads onto someone elses body! They look like those bobblehead things...

I think it would be one thing if she could claim being naturally thin.  There are people out there like that...but she lost the weight very quickly and seems to be at a very low weight now.

It doesn't seem like a good thing.

I don't know how my wife got me to watch this show again, but I am guilty of enjoying it way too much.

As for the girls on the show (especially "Silver"), they could definitely afford to eat a meatball sub or a cheesesteak between takes. IMO, I shouldn't be able to see ribs on these poor girls. They are setting a false standard for my daughter (who is only 3 years old thank goodness).

I think it's funny they have a character named "Silver"...

  This will not last long, imo.

 I thought that was ridiculous too... but the character's name is actually Erin Silver, so she just goes by her last name.

She's so skinny.
