According to [this article](http://www.megastar.co.uk/ents/news/2005/01/25/sMEG01MTEwNjY1ODQ2MDg.html) Debbie Gibson is posing for playboy. Why? I thought she was the classy one. ---

Why not? She already did it in 2002, under her alias of Tiffany. What? They aren’t the same person? ---

Well, better Playboy than [being pregnant with Mojo Nixon’s two-headed love child](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll) – or being in a hardcore mag. :rolleyes: ---

Well, I suppose being the classy one keeps her off _Hustler_. But really, have you seen any of Playboy’s look-at-me-I-used-to-be-a-hot-celeb pictorials lately? The usual result is lame. I just hope it doesn’t take us 20 years to get one from the _current_ Pop Tart crop on Playboy. ---

I thought she was the classy one. I don’t think there’s anything classless about posing in _Playboy_. The quality of Playboy has suffered much in the last decade or so, but it’s hardly a trashy publication like _Maxim_ or _FHM_. ---

Based on the recent celebrity pictorials, the pictures will all be bizarrely toned in sepia or green/gold, artistically out of focus, overly airbrushed and about as erotic as a Chilton’s auto repair manual. ---

I’d hit it. /didn’t RTFA //fapfapfapfapfap Oh, wait, you mean this isn’t Fark? My bad. 😃 I’d still hit it were I not already married and faithful. And I’m still anxiously awaiting the Jennifer Garner Playboy layout. I hope she gives in to the inevitable now rather than 15 years down the road. ---

If only the fourteen-year-old **DoctorJ** could be around for this. It could have gone right next to the big poster I had of her on my wall. (I had a crush, OK?) ---

Something seems to happen to has been female celebs as they cruise into their mid thirties, and realize that if they’re going to show some skin thye’d better hurry, 'cause the train is leaving the station. ---

> [@SiouxChief](#): > > They are **not** the same! Debbie writes her own music, and has actual talent. Right guys? \ Guys? Yeah, I’d agree with that. Debbie Gibson actually has musical talent. Every time I saw Tiffany, she was remaking somebody else’s songs, even stealing other people’s dance moves. (Saw a video of her doing some little move that she got from a Janet Jackson video, I recall). ---
