As some of you may have heard, there's a new '90210' show on the CW.

For those old enough, it's a revamp of an older show, 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'

Anywho, the two lead female stars, Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup, have come under fire for being really, really, (did I say really), thin.

Sources from the show note that the two wear sizes that rang from 00 (is that a real size?) to 2.

In this US Weekly cover story, a source said, "I've never seen them eat."

Some say the young starlets are under a lot of pressure because the show was highly-anticipated, and may have lost weight because of it.

My question - if these women are this thin on camera (which supposedly adds 10 pounds), how do they look in real life?

One of Shenae's thighs could be my arm!

Celeb gossip sites also had dogged the tiny girls on 'Gossip Girl' for being too thin, but these twigs make those girls look healthy. (Notice I did not say fat.)

On the Web, other bloggers weighed in on the skinny women.

They are really tiny. Any thoughts on this one, guys?

The news media has not been kind to a 'Desperate Housewives' star who wore a sparkly, shimmery mess of a dress to the Emmys.

Eva Longoria Parker and her bow dress has made it on all the worst-dressed Emmy lists.

Do you guys think her dress was that bad?

Ok, she did make one best dressed list.

I found this overall round-up on the frocks and shocks from Tv's big night.

It's mocking me.

From it's plastic cover and its place hanging on the closet door, the pretty, beaded and strapless dress, is taunting me.

It is not happy with me almost having a panic attack every time I think about what my fat back an turkey arms will look like in it for my friend's October wedding.

No, that's not enough.

It's like, "Hey, big girl. I know you're stressed about how you're going to look in this dress. You should be. You're going to look a hot ghetto mess!"

Then, I hear its evil laughter.

It's mocking me.

These are the confessions of a plus-sized bridesmaid.

This writer seems to think so. He lives in suburban Virginia, and sees Crocs waaaaaay too much.

Poor guy.

I wonder if he's tried the Crocs flip-flops.

They are really comfortable.

However, I do agree with him. I can't bring myself to wear the other Crocs, no matter how comfortable people say they are.

So readers, discuss. . . . Crocs or no Crocs?

the Oscars' fashion round-up. I know you're dying to know who looked a hot mess on the red carpet.

Since you guys are at work, I rounded up some stuff for you, including this "Worst Dressed Lists" from the Oscars at Yahoo!

This one from E!Online, allows you to waste countless productive work hours voting on whether you like the clothes or not.

The Fashion Police poke fun at those who may or may not have been in style at the Oscars last night.

I'm kind of disappointed that our friends at MSN's Undressed always need a day or so after the Oscars to get the witty captions together for the worst dressed.

Undressed needs to get with the program and have stuff done the day after the Oscars, not on Tuesday or another day later this week.

Here's their Oscar photos, without any snarky comments. Darn.

I found one on the MSN site with the Oscar highlights in pictures, but the captions are drab.

Like Undressed, I guess we'll have to wait until People hits the newsstand this week to see their best and worst dressed Oscar picks.

Just in case you're like me, and don't want to read the full, AP story to find out who won what award, here's the list.

Ok, is it just me, or are you tired of seeing people leave their homes in pajama pants?

Whether it's plaid, striped over covered with the "Dr. Pepper," logo, pajama pants are everywhere.

Every time I see someone walking in the mall, waiting in line at the grocery store, ordering food at a restaurant, or even just hanging out anywhere (besides their home) with pajama pants on, it makes me cringe.

What is wrong with these people?

What are they saying with this look?

To all you pajama-wearing fashion victims, this is what your "outfit" says to me, and the rest of the population:

"I just rolled out of bed, and here I am!"

"I don't own any pants."

"I wish every day was a pajama party day!"

"I have not done laundry in ages - note the dirty bottoms of my pajama pants."

"I'm waaaaaay too lazy to throw on some sweats."

"I bet you thought only trainwreck celebrities could get away with this look."

"Stacey and Clinton (this is a "What NOT to Wear" reference) would be soooo proud."

"I think I'm really cool, and that I'm being trendy, but I look a hot mess."

I don't know if your'e aware of this yummy feature on MSN called, "Undressed," but it rocks.

Basically, this mean-spirited lady dishes on all the celebrity fashion flubs. The wit is sharp, and the insults cut to the bone.

Here's the 2007 round-up of the worst celebrity outfits.

In the case of most of these women, the answer is YES! YES! and one more time, YES!!!

Leave it to Oprah to set them straight. On a show, she had the women come in and get a makeover.

In some cases, like the woman in the red plaid jumper, it was desperately needed.

With these ladies in mind, I went online to look for tips for dressing slimmer.

I found this article, with 10 tips on dressing thinner, which included my favorite tip about wearing clothes your size.

It seems obvious, but even I've been guilty of taking the larger size because it's more comfy.

I also found a site whose name I really can relate to, www.youlookfab.com, which had fashion tips for many situations, and even talks about the best socks!

Here's some more good tips, from an article from YES.

I was on the phone with my homey, Amanda, Friday night, and we were discussing problems her incredibly thin friend (we hate her) Melissa, had finding clothing.

It seems that Melissa is one of the tiny sizes that only exist in the dreams of full-figured gals like myself, a 2, or something like that.

Well, she went to one of her favorite retailers to buy pants and tried on her normal size. They were practically falling off her (Ah, if only this would happen in my life. . . Sigh. . . )

She hasn't lost any weight.

Melissa, Amanda told me, was the victim of "vanity sizing."

I asked, "What the heck is vanity sizing?"

This yearly search is almost as much fun as having an annual ob/gyn exam. No, wait, NOTHING is that much fun. Bring on the stirrups!

(For those who don't recognize it - that was sarcasm.)

Back to swimsuits:

So, my homey, Amanda, and I were talking about how much we hate this particular female outing. Men are lucky. They don't beat up their self-image this way. How many men do you know that go out bathing suit shopping with friends? None.

As teens, Amanda and I tormented ourselves with bathing suit shopping trips.These trips mostly consisted of a lot of pulling and tugging, looking ridiculous in a bathing suit wearing a bra and panties on and eventually, breaking down into tears.

For some reason, many of us still do this every year.
