Penn Badgley Tells "90210" Girls To "Eat A Double Cheeseburger"

Popeater:

Skinny celebrities are nothing new over the last decade or two. Calista Flockhart drawing criticism, then Ellen Pompeo was the next TV target. Now, the young actresses of '90210' (Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup and AnnaLynne McCord) are taking heat from blogs, publications ... and even 'Gossip Girl' actor Penn Badgley for their bony physiques and the young teens who see them each week.

Badgley tells PopEater exclusively that he's heard the swirl about the show's skinny starlets, and that he's "never been proponent of the thin L.A. girls." He goes on to tell us that he thinks it's "healthy" that the females on 'Gossip Girl' "aren't bone-thin." He also has solid advice for the '90210' gals: "I hope they eat a double cheeseburger or something."

Anorexia and bullimia are truly alarming in our society. Making a crack like the one he did does not make those suffering either malady eager to take the advice.

Leave thin people ALONE!!! God knows there are enough fat slobs in this country that we should be concerned about.

[iambusto]

you people should get out more. is girls being thin the problem, or being obese?

how many girls you go out and see in the mall are on the thin side, and how many are fatties?

It's one thing to be skinny but another thing to be bone skinny. That isn't healthy no matter how you spin it. Like it or not young girls and boys try to emulate what they see on TV. No one tries to be fatter, well almost no one but that's another story, but we all know everyone wants to be skinnier. As such bone skinny people in a show they know will be watched and aimed at teenagers (who have self-esteem issues and try to emulate what the media tries to say is beautiful) is beyond dangerous.

Forget the cheeseburgers break out the meat loafs, ice cream, and nachos with cheese.

He just mad because 90210 has better ratings and Shannen Dougherty! Which means the acting power in the 9-0 is way better than that of the GG but hey xoxo!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I agree that the girls on the cast of Gossip Girl while nowhere near being "big" , represent a far healthier look than many tv series or movies these days. I think they are absolutely beautiful! They give me faith in the way that i look, and reinforce my attitude of not giving in to the "thin trend".

I've seen both Penn and Blake in person and they look healthy and gorgeous.
