Debbie Gibson Credits Boyfriend for Her Beach Body

By Rob Shuter Posted Jan 19th 2011 10:57AM

Eighties teen sensation Debbie Gibson is back! Not only is the original pop princess (sorry, Britney!) joining up with fellow popstress Tiffany for her new film, 'Mega Python vs. Gatoroid,' premiering Jan. 29 on Syfy, she also has a new boyfriend and a rock hard body.

"I did my man's BTL diet, which stands for Better Than Lipo," Debbie tells me about how her boyfriend, Dr. Rutledge Taylor, helped her get the body she always wanted. "It taught me to be mindful of what I eat and why and focuses on limiting sugar intake while eating lots of healthy fats and protein and veggies."

And the weight just fell off, she says. "I've worked out and danced my entire life but often all that hard work's been covered up by layers of fat. The way we eat is the most important thing for weight loss and weight maintenance."

And if her new guy doesn't sound perfect enough, Debbie tells me the song they wrote together, 'Rise,' from his new documentary '3 Billion and Counting,' has been short-listed as a contender for an Academy Award nomination.

Does this guy have a brother?

I always thought she looked good before. Now she is just plain too skinny and I don't normally say things like that. That said, she is entitled to look however she wants

By New York

I agree. You can see her ribs. That is not attractive at all. She actually should gain about 10 lbs. She would look much more shapely then.

She looks like Tatum O'Neal in that photo- is she a cokehead too?

By JBaer

Nice job, Debster.

Excuse me while I count how many responses to this article call her "irrelevant."

By whereisvic

I thought you were gonna say "excuse me while I count her ribs"

LOL!! I thought the exact same thing.

What happened to women wanting to look like women, instead of 14 year old boys?

Men who want women to look like little girls - skinny, ribs sticking out and hairless.

Magazines that keep sticking these images in the face of women, thinner is still better, how to lose 20 lbs in 2 weeks etc.

Was Rob really THAT bored ??

"...and the weight just fell off!" Debbie exclaims. What weight? I respect her but it's kind of funny when women who have NEVER had a weight problem lose a pesky ten pounds or so, get down to 3% body fat and act like they just saved themselves from being morbidly obese. Lose a hundred pounds, keep it off for two years and then I'll be impressed.

"Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" ??? Well, Steve McQueen started with "The Blob". I wouldn't look for Debbie "Red Hot" Gibson on stage at the next Oscars, though.

By Ron

Beach body?????? hahaha You have to be kidding me. She has chicken legs and my boobs (a Man) are bigger than hers.

I threw up in my mouth a little when you mentioned your manboobs.

By Laurie

She is right your diet is the #1 way to lose weight. It does not matter is you have to lose 100 pounds or 10 pounds, it can still be a struggle. I am 58 and in my 20's 120 30's 130 40's 140 50's went up to 162. I am now down to 145 and work out. It may not be a big deal to someone who needs to lose 100, but I feel better and am healthier and I am proud of myself for losing 17 pounds. I also have muscle tone which is more important that the number on the scale.

Debbie Gibson is the Britney Spears of the 1980's! She was the teen sensation of that time. She also posed in Playboy in 2005.

By MyLoveWasTaken

Oh gosh, what happened to her...would that even qualify as a body, she looks more like a skeleton. Debbie honey...bones sticking out of your chest do NOT look good.

By dvdfrnzwbr

She would look better with Double D implants.

By Gia

Ok, instead of breasts she has BONES jutting out! The rest of her looks good but why shouldn't it? She's not old, she's always been a dancer and she's never had children not to mention her boyfriend is a DOCTOR. Please.. all the help in the world is on her side so who wouldn't have a great body! I'm glad she's happy because it would stink to be popular one day and shunned the next. I don't know why or how she ever got popular back then because I always thouht it was very bubble gum type of songs and weren't most of them remakes?

By gary

No Gia, they weren't bubble gum songs and she wrote every one of them, she also played the piano,danced and sang without today's studio playback and techno support, she worked hard, made it to Broadway and still sings at 40. Go to Youtube and watch her "live" concerts, Britany, Simpson and the rest can't hold her hat talent wise.

Tiffinay was the one who had success with the remakes. Debbie was the Hanna Montana of that time. Kids loved it.
