The super-skinniness of 90210's new leading ladies Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes is evident even to the untrained eye. But their weight may be slipping so fast that it's prompting producers and costars to stage an intervention, a source tells Us.

"They want the girls to gain weight," the source reportedly said. "They are trying too hard to be skinny, and it's started to wear on them. It's just not healthy."

Another insider suggested that their bodies have shrunk since the show began. "The girls were all skinny when they started, but they're definitely thinner now." They added, "I heard some of the boys on the show are going to sit down with the girls and talk to them."

One doctor estimated that Stroup, 21 and 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 100 to 105 pounds, while 5-foot-3 Grimes, 18, may weigh in at 90 pounds.
