She was also washed up at 22.

No she was doing broadway and off-broadway shows for a lot more money than she ever made recording record.

I'm not gonna lie...all my friends had Alyssa Milano pictures in their lockers back in the day, and I had one of Debbie.

She was also washed up at 22.

Sad to say, but if Debbie were 1/10 as interesting as Britney is, she might still be doing more than driving tourists across Broadway to the Disney store to buy Belle dolls.

Anybody else down with "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child"?

Anyhow, at least Gibson has some punk cred from jamming with the Circle Jerks.

Her back-up dancers. Who, nowadays, could boast consistently touring with a middle-aged gay black man (also sharing in back-up vocal duties) and semi-retarded looking middle-aged gnome who could do back-flips? Nobody.

Maybe that was just my college town.

(Monday has apparently become Show Your Age Day. Sit on Gramps' lap and I'll tell you all about that old-time group, Some Velvet Sidewalk.)

This thoroughly mediocre performer's pap being shoved down America's throat may have prompted the undertakers to start digging. Yes, there have been plenty of scams before, but I can't think of one remotely as BOGUS as Gibson.

Her A&R guy should be sentenced to listening to her 'music' for eternity. That would be like rubbing a dog's nose in its turd, and would serve as a message to future generations: NO!

You link to the PICTURES! So disappointed.
