Tiffany and Debbie Gibson to tour together, will you buy tickets?

Well, this sounds like a legwarmer-wearing trainwreck in the making. Hot on the heels of successful revival tours like those of Van Halen and The Police, former 1980s teen songstresses Tiffany and Debbie Gibson are reportedly planning a joint tour, presumably to reel in the same pathetic souls who once showed up to watch Tiffany sing at the mall. In one respect, it seems rather inevitable that these two would end up chained together on tour while inadvertently synchronizing their respective menstrual cycles. On the other hand, Gibson must secretly hate this whole mess because, while she used to write her own music, Tiffany covered most of her own hits from other artists. Regardless, here they are together again:

Tiffany is putting together tour dates with fellow 1980s icon Debbie Gibson. The pair, who starred together in the Syfy movie Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, plan to cover songs that inspired them as well as peform their own material. “We want to journey through the ’80s and all the artists who influenced us,” Tiffany told us, adding that she and Gibson might do covers of hits by Stevie Nicks, Reba McIntyre and Guns N’ Roses, as well as Broadway tunes. They’d also perform their own material. Tiff’s on tour supporting her new release, “Rose Tattoo.”

Do you realize what this means? Providing that these two ladies can actually sell a significant amount of venues, we’ll soon have footage of Tiffany screeching her own version of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” that could actually rival Fergie’s nightmare-inducing Superbowl performance. Speaking of genuine awfulness, here’s the “catfight” clip from Tiffany and Debbie’s recent SyFy network movie, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. If you stick around to the 2:00 minute mark, the fur begins to fly between Tiff and Deb, with the latter saying this actual dialogue: “Oh bitch, please. You’re going down … you’re going to get it, you gator-baiting bitch!”

While these two aren’t exactly national treasures, they are mildly entertaining for about five seconds. Man, I can’t wait for the roadside tour reports to hit the internet.

  2. flutters says:

    Why not, it seems to be working for NKOTBSB.

  3. mimi says:

    Why, oh why cant these two realize, “ITS OVER” – Apparently they havent heard McDonalds is hiring 50,000 people.

  4. LindyLou says:

    Touring together eh? They look like a couple of middle-aged lounge singers…wait, what?

  5. fabgrrl says:

    WHAT is going on with Debbie’s face? Did her eyes always look like that?

  6. Quest says:

    Be afraid be very afraid.

    I will not even go in my dreams (no puns intended)

  7. beth says:

    hell yeaz for old times sake… i watched my sister dancing to debbie gibson growing up – my sis + debbie is the reason i can now dance the way i do πŸ™‚

  8. Motor35 says:

    oh lord

  9. sapphire says:

    When hell freezes over. Or if I need to get away from a howling blizzard.

  10. decent mama says:

    I will totally be there! My first concert was tiffany with new kids opening. Love her forever!

  11. Relli says:

    Only if Robin Sparkles will be opening for them!

  12. Rita says:

    I always heard that Debbie was some sort of musical prodigy. Maybe I heard that from her PR staff because her career certainly didn’t pan-out the way the hype made it to be.

    Also, just want to say this is the first thread I’ve noticed from “Bedhead” and good job.

  13. mln76 says:

    So cheesy not even good cheesy-just pathetic. I almost would rather they got a reality show than touring at the mall circa 1988 but hey that’s just me.

  14. TXCinderella says:

    Okay, I’ll admit it. I used to wear the knit suspender pants with the black hat and booties with the scrunchy socks like Debbie. Oh, the 80’s fashions!

  15. GeekChic says:

    Debbie was actually really talented. She wrote all of her own material and was the youngest female artist to produce, arrange, and write a number one hit. It’s a far cry from the pop music of today where the “artist” doesn’t write their songs and is autotuned within an inch of his/her life.

  16. jover says:

    I’ll pay to watch them cat fight and then double team against a python – but nothing else.

  17. Jezi says:

    I think we’re alone now…there doesn’t seem to be anyone around. Damn I loved that song. Sure why not give it another shot. What else do they have going for them πŸ™‚

  18. Samigirl says:

    Rita, if you hadn’t pointed out this was bedhead, I would have just assumed it was Kaiser. That, Bedhead, is a major compliment πŸ™‚

  19. Camille says:

    Would I buy tickets? Only if it was 1988, as that was when they were last relevant.

  20. irishserra says:

    This is the funniest thing I’ve read/watched in a looooong time.

  21. Becky says:

    They must the need the money. This seems sort of sad to me. Debbie should stick to musical theater or maybe get into producing if she hasn’t already. What about being a judge on a reality talent show? I don’t know about Tiffany-what has she been doing for the last 20 years?

    Would I pay to see them? No. I didn’t like their music when I was a teen and I definitely don’t have the interest now. But, as pointed out by Flutters, it’s worked for NKOTB. My sister went to see them last year and had a great time-she was never into their music as a kid but went with a friend and thought the whole scene was really entertaining.

  22. endoplasmic ridiculum says:

    The funny thing is, if you look at their faces, it’s a reminder that back in the 80’s these women didn’t need to get plastic surgery to become huge stars (just a major record label marketing army)…

    Interrresting……..

  23. CeeCee says:

    need to top up the plastic surgery and Hollywood lifestyle fund. These girls mut be good at budgeting making their 15 minute money stretch all this time.

    Go away! There are enough talentless gimps out there without formers ones making revivals.

  24. jemshoes says:

    Confession: I recently purchased 2 whole Debbie Gibson albums from iTunes, feeling nostalgic. It can be bad – very bad – music, but if you grew up listening to it, well, it’ll always tug at your heartstrings! πŸ˜‰

    Debbie WAS a musical prodigy, writing and producing her first album at 17. Tiffany was just a tween sensation I’ve never entirely grown out of! Would I buy tix to this tour? No. I’ve got their old music, and that’s enough for me. πŸ˜€
