Beverly Hills, 90210 stars Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes are so thin that show producers and costars are poised to take action, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

"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.

So shocking is the situation that their 90210 male costars are contemplating an intervention.

"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.

    I think Shanae Grimes is just naturally thin. The other one's gross though.

    I am glad they are doing something. At least someone cares.

    I think Shenae may naturally be that skinny, I know people that have been 100 -105lbs almost all there lives, it just genetics and she's very young, just turned 18. Jessica Stroup though, I have to say looks very unnaturally skinny in this picture, but the thing is she used to model, and I've seen scarier looking girls on ANTM.

    I've struggled with bulimia and anorexia my entire life (I'm now 29), and while some people might be influenced by the media and develop the disorders...mine developed before I was even allowed to watch the sorts of shows where this would've been as issue in the first place. And my EDs have nothing to do with adhering to a "beauty standard."

    I just don't get it. Why don't naturally skinny girls have no voices? I eat all the time and gain no weight. I am like 108 at 15 years old. Biased people think that we are liers about our weight or have no problems!

    The main problem is that Hollywood directors are too critical of actors phsiques(males included) and pressure actors to be too thin. We are seeing a dangerous trend in emaciation in the media which does contribute to teen eating disorders. One of my 13-year old students last year was hopsitalized and nearly died from her severe anorexia. HW needs to revamp its criteria like the fashion world has.

    There is a huge difference from being skinny to having a problem. These girls look like the pressure to look good is getting to them. I love the show and hope the producers make them gain some weight. Back in the day Brenda and Kelly were the average size and they looked awesome.
