SyFy is making an ’80s teen boy’s wet dreams come true because they are doing a movie with Tiffany vs Debbie Gibson. Yes you read that right the I Think We’re Alone Now and the Electric Youth singers will battle it out in a SyFy movie. According to James Hibberd in Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, “Gibson will play a fanatical animal-rights activist who frees illegally imported exotic snakes from pet stores, sending them into the Everglades, where they grow to mega sizes. Tiffany will play an overzealous park ranger who uses dangerous methods to save endangered alligators. In the script, the pair brawl at a party, then take matters outside into the swamp.” Sounds like a total classic just like Tiffany’s first SyFy movie Mega Piranha, too bad they won’t be back for this movie…or will they???
Hibberd added that casting was Tiffany’s idea, she had a meeting with them and said that she always wanted to do a movie with her rumored teen pop idol rival who really wasn’t one. So now they get to take that fake rivalry to a real movie.
Debbi Gibson and Tiffany released statements about the opportunity of working together in the SyFy movie that will air next year.
“I know that pop culture fanatics have been dying for Tiffany and me to collaborate for the past 24 years!” said Gibson in a statement. “What better way to do it than by battling each other in a campy romp through the Everglades?â€
“Only in my dreams have I been able to have a catfight with Debbie Gibson…until now!” Tiffany said. “This is soo MEGA cool!”
I can’t think of casting that Could’ve Been more beautiful than these two working together. And maybe if it is a success SyFy will do other movies with famous rivalries like Barry Williams and Danny Bonaduce, Heather Locklear and Denise Richards, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears and in the far future Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie!
UPDATE: Deborah Gibson Tweeted this Mega picture of her with a snake today that I am assuming is from set of the movie that is due to start filming this month. She also Tweeted, “Syfy rocks! I SO cannot wait to battle really large critters…..and my “rival” Tiffany! Ha!” And we can’t wait to see her battle “rival” Tiffany.
