The stars of the new 90210 have gotten a lot of press for being so slim, but Shenae Grimes, who plays Annie Wilson on the show, is fed up.

She denies having an eating disorder, saying, "Just because people are callin you skinny doesn't mean I'm like, 'Yay!' No! You're telling me I don't look right." The slender star adds, "This is me, this is my body -- I have accepted it." She has a friend who struggled for years with an eating disorder, so while she's familiar with the problem, she doesn't suffer from it.

Grimes also insists that she doesn't look too thin in person, and has "[n]o bones sticking out." But, after hearing these rumors about herself, she admits that she's thinking twice about anything she's ever read about anyone else.

While the show isn't exactly getting rave reviews, the starlets of the new 90210 are certainly getting plenty of attention, and AnnaLynne McCord is definitely garnering her fair share by spilling some secrets about how she stays so incredibly skinny.

Last month she said that she indulges in chocolate (only occasionally, of course), and now she's talking about how easily she gets bored with exercise. However, she's found something that hold her interest -- belly dancing. "It's a workout while I'm actually being challenged and entertained. I shake it a little," says the actress, adding, "That's really fun. If you're like me and you have the attention span of, like, two seconds, belly-dancing is good."

There are plenty of alternatives to spending 30 minutes on a treadmill -- I've found myself challenged by all kinds of classes, from hip hop to step aerobics. What's the most fun you've ever had working out? And keep it clean.

If skinny girls can eat chocolate and maintain their weight, then surely we not-so-willowy ones can too. I know, we have no idea what these gals do to keep pounds from packing on. Still, if chocolate is permitted by this crew, then why not enjoy a bite yourself now and then.

Now and then are the key words. Just ask 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord, who enjoys just a taste in the name of portion control.

McCord's taste comes in the form of the new Dove chocolate bars, says PEOPLE magazine. They come in three individually wrapped portions, each with 180 calories and available in six flavors -- check out a picture of the $1.99 treat here. Eat just an ounce of dark chocolate to regulate your blood pressure and increase blood flow to the heart -- Grey's Anatomy star Chandra Wilson does -- because that's why we all eat chocolate, right? Yeah. That's it.

90210, the iconic TV series from the 90s, is back, albeit with one notable difference: The size of its leading ladies. Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup grace the cover of this week's US Magazine but for all the wrong reasons -- Too Thing For TV? asks the bold lettering. It's estimated that Grimes (5'3) weighs a mere 90 lbs while Stroup (5'8) is thought to weight between 100 and 105 lbs.

According to the magazine, one insider on the set reveals, "I've never seen Jessica or Shenae eat." Yet another source hints at a sort of intervention, claiming, "I heard some of the boys on the show are going to sit down with the girls and talk to them ... The girls were all skinny when they started, but they're definitely thinner now."

What do you think? Are these girls healthy role models?

How much will Kim Kardashian dare to bare on Dancing With The Stars? That all depends on how the show's rigorous training affects her booty.

Ashley Jensen of Ugly Betty doesn't think she's all that pretty, but she doesn't think she's unattractive, either. She's confident in who she is, and has a problem with the way so many women bend over backward to achieve the Hollywood standard of ideal beauty. Don't expect to see her at the plastic surgeon anytime soon!

Movie stars often are required to gain weight for a role, as Beyonce did recently in order to portray Etta James. While she enjoyed packing on the pounds (and being paid to do so), she was a little less thrilled when filming was over.

Stress can certainly take a toll on our health; Jennie Garth is no exception. The actress is back on 90210, showing us what her popular character, Kelly Taylor, is like as an adult. But earlier in the year things weren't exactly sunny in Garth's life.

Within a span of six months, her daughter became ill (and was later diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) and her father passed away. Garth said "I didn't think about my looks or my weight or my body or anything." She goes on to say that she didn't exercise, eat healthfully, and that she gained weight and inches as a result.

As much as we all hope our lives stay stable and uncomplicated, everyone is bound to hit a rough patch now and then. And, unfortunately, many of us will encounter periods of extreme stress, like Jennie Garth did. It's definitely hard to continue focusing on your health when everything else seems to be falling apart. But that is the most important time to take care of yourself.

Jennie Garth, formerly known as Kelly Taylor on FOX's 90210 and current contestant on ABCs Dancing with the Stars, has whipped her body into tip-top shape with all her recent fancy footwork.

"I've lost weight and I'm looking great," she says.

She may not keep her slimmed-down figure for long, though, because she's pretty sure she'll have another baby.

Garth, wife of actor Peter Facinelli and mom to three young daughters, says she secretly looks forward to being pregnant again. Why? "So that she could eat and have ice cream," says her hubby.

Before she focuses on family, Garth, 35, must first finish her ballroom competition. It's down to five dancing couples. Could Garth win it all?
