Debbie Gibson will be following in the footsteps of Tiffany by appearing in this months Playboy. This is a rather sad attempt to revieve her music career. Tiffany had said that she had since regreted doing Playboy. Perhaps Debbie will feel the same too. Mind you at least Tiffany managed to get on the front page which us more than can be said of Debbie. Paris Hilton get that accolade this month (Paris Hilton naked hardly an exculsive! )

Debbies new single will be called Naked (sad or desparate?!) Hairy handed punters can find find Playboy on news stands soon!

Don't feel too old. I remember her well.

Mind you, on your point of Tiffiny regretting her Playboy shoot, perhaps she's just spent the money now?

Time for Hustler to step in then.

Debbie also did Les Miserables on Broadway (as Eponine) and Grease in the UK (as Sandy, obviously).

How times change - I remember reading an American teen magazine in '89 or thereabouts (yes, guys read those things too - you think it's only girls who get crushes, etc?) and seeing Debbie say she'd never pose nude...

i thought she wanted to be known as a serious artist and wanted to be referred to as Deborah? obviously that didn't work, lets try plan B...

wouldn't mind seeing these pics though

Wow.. Debbie Gibson! I bought her first album at the time I believe... I'll have to see if I can find it, unless of course I sold it, which I have loads of my old 80's/90's CDs.

Debbie Gibson was a pop tart some years ago, like a squeaky clean Britney Spears. The best thing ever associated with her, was a track on a CD by someone called Mojo Nixon. The track was 'Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child.'

For those too young to remember, Debbie Gibson was the equivalent of Avril Lavigne today.

I would say that for a modern (is the early 80's so dated now) Debbie Gibson would be similar to the school girl Britney Spears.

Blonde, polished, sugary nice.

Avril would be more the modern Sabrina (without the see through white bikini struggling to fall off).

Wrong. You actually couldn't be more wrong.

Debbie had none of the manufactured teenage angst and anger at the world which Ms Lavigne has cultivated.

The closest comparison (and it's difficult to compare - the late 80s were a different world !!) would be a more talented and less mental Britney Spears, a less loopy and more talented Jessica Simpson !!

Debbie wrote all her own songs and went on to have a successful Broadway and theatre career.

For those years back then (1988 - 1991) I was totally in lurve (!) with her - that never really stopped but these were pre-internet days so it was difficult to follow what she was up to once the singles etc stopped being released in the UK. The wonder that is the net has improved the situation and has rekindled my (admittedly one sided) love affair !!

As a side note, Playboy have actually been trying to get Debbie to pose since she was 17. They wanted to publish photos to co-incide with her 18th birthday - she resisted for many years but began to think about it seriously over the last few years, particularly after playing Gypsy Rose Lee in theatre. I'm glad she did - she looks absolutely stunning in the photos.

Well I was there too, got the T-shirt, posters 4 albums etc. The reason I chose Avril over Britney was that Britney sells herself entirely on her sexuality, sprawling seductively through her videos etc, which is something that Debbie didn't do and Avril doesn't seem to have taken up. They can both play instruments and the music they are playing is very much pop and more aimed at the younger age group. In fact Avril's new video seems the most childish thing she's done yet. Also with Avril now into her second album and it not doing as well as the first she seems to be begining the same drift into obscurity that Debbie suffered. They may both have different styles of music but that's bound to happen with a 20 year gap - things are different now and music styles have changed (not necessarily for the better).

Sorry to bring this thread back to life, but the last post was on the day I joined DS, & I've only just come across it.

I've got 8, yes that's 8, albums by Debbie.
I've also seen those Playboy pics, the published ones & the unpublished ones, & they are very tasteful & not revealing too much.

(Perhaps I ought to change my user name to 'DebbieFan'? )
