Deborah Gibson says: My nudie pics are better than Tiffany's

Eighties pop music sensation Debbie "Shake Your Love" Gibson says she's still hotter than longtime rival Tiffany.

"Tiffany's Playboy pictorial a few years ago was very raw, while mine is more theatrical and stylized glitz and glamour," Gibson, 34, told the Miami Herald while partying at New York hot spot Marquee to celebrate the revelation of what was under those oversized blazers and high-tops.

Gibson, who has since carved out a Broadway career as Deborah, says her favorite Playboy pictures are the ones where she is holding a microphone stand pretending to be "rock 'n' roll Barbie" and a cabaret takeoff in which she covers her "bits and bobs" with the trademark black bowler hat of her "Electric Youth." To no surprise, Gibson is timing her pictorial with the release of her new pop-rock single, aptly titled "Naked," which she hopes will score her a comeback record deal.

You Said

Does anyone else think maybe she is trying a little too hard?

I don't think Tiff's appearance sold any additional copies of her recordings. I'm a Debfan from way back, but I found these a little more offputting than I expected.

(...resisting the urge to attempt a parody of the JFK line once fired at Dan Quayle...)

I have both issues, and while it may be a case of (as they say on Iron Chef) personal preference (and not to say that Debbie isn't a nice looking woman), but I'd pick Tiffany's pics over Debbie's as my desert-island option any day...

Debbie's wrong. Sorry, she's just wrong. That whole "tastefully done" line is a load of crap.

Period.
