Shenae Grimes Convinced She Wasn’t Handed Teen Vogue Internship

August 10, 2011 by Hollywoodite

In a world where Lindsay Lohan’s little sister lands a modelling contract and insists it’s because of talent and not familial connections, and the Jenner sisters do the same, Shenae Grimes tells Teen Vogue her internship at the same magazine was earned and she wasn’t handed it or given an easy ride because of her role on 90210. Because that’s how it works. Or, at least, that’s how it was explained to her while she (probably) coasted and made the magazine look good. She earned her spot. She wasn’t just given it and WHAAA for you thinking that famous people don’t earn their keep.

“I think actors are put on an insane pedestal. You have to pay your dues in whatever field you want to pursue,” she tells the magazine’s September issue. “This industry is new to me, so I’m happy to start at the bottom… I get my own coffee on set, so it’s not much of a stretch!” the 21-year-old says.

“New York City is very expensive, so I may last only a couple of years out here before my bank account starts screaming at me to go back home!” – via Us Weekly.

As in the photo from her Teen Vogue shoot, she was getting coffee for people. She wasn’t, you know, posing for the magazine’s September issue and giving them an interview… wait, the other interns all got a shoot and interview too, right? Because they’re all treated the same.
