Shenae Grimes is fast learning that fame and fortune (for her in the form of the 90210 remake) come at a price. For her, it’s tabloid rumors. Somehow, while not knowing who this girl is as 90210 got dropped after 3 episodes here in Australia, I still know she’s really skinny, a diva on set and likes to party. Actually, she kind of sounds like any teenager. Unfortunately, her fake life is more interesting then her real life.
“Meet me in person, and you can’t say anything. No bones sticking out,” Grimes, who has been thin all her life, tells People. “Just because people are calling you skinny doesn’t mean I’m like, ‘Yay!’ No! You’re telling me I don’t look right. This is me, this is my body – I have accepted it.”
As for being a diva at work and a party girl at night, Grimes shrugs it off. “The hours I work I definitely can’t,” says the self-described homebody who likes to watch DVDs and hang out with friends.
“These are stories that have been written about everybody,” says the star. “Of course we’re the new girls on a hit show so we’re plopped into these little boxes. And people buy it. It makes me totally second guess anything I’ve ever read about anybody.”
It was nice to hear that Shenae says she’s just thin. As a skinny person myself I know you can sometimes just be genetically blessed. Not that my mother ever thought it was a blessing, having been told regularly by strangers on the bus to feed her kid. I also like that she doesn’t claim other celebrity weght loss regimens like a love of going to the gym, or that she’s lost weight from running around after a baby. Partly because she doesn’t have a baby, partly because babies don’t run.
As far as second guessing anything Shenae ever heard, isn’t this something we learn in high school? I thought we all looked at celebrity gossip as a form of entertainment, and followed the old adage of ‘believe half of what you see and none of what you hear’.
