Guess the Size of 90210's New 'Chubby' Character, Lila

annalynnenew.JPG The pin-ups who populate 90210 range from the dirty blonde (AnnaLynne McCord) to clean blonde (Jennie Garth). There are brunettes too, I understand, so that rabbit-eared TVs don’t tweak out. But diversity is a rare guest-star on 90210, which might explain why this casting alert for a new character named “Lila” reads something like a middle-school note doodled in gel pen.

It appears 90210 needs that rare actress who can buy off-the-rack at H&M. Behold this new casting notice:

Lila: A student at West Beverly who is both stylish and sarcastic, Lila is “chubby” and “heavier than our girls on the show.” Recurring potential.

Recurring! Yes! Right! Bulimia, they mean.

We’re guessing Lila is a size “6” (which, as we know, is the new “14”) and not the show’s top candidate for love interest. Mind you, she’ll have a number of one-liners and a wealth of advice to dish to her best friends, all of whom need her in the eleventh hour. What am I saying? I’m being far too generous. This girl’s a Starbucks clerk who’ll “recur” whenever Lori Loughlin needs me-time.
