Prepare yourself for ... "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid"!
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that 1980s pop stars Deborah "Debbie" Gibson and Tiffany will star together in the Syfy original Saturday night movie. This is the first time the duo will appear in a film together.
Gibson will play an animal rights activist who specializes in freeing — what else? — exotic snakes from pet stores and setting them loose in the Everglades, where they, of course, grow to enormous sizes. Tiffany is set for the role of a park ranger who "uses dangerous methods to save endangered alligators." The script reportedly includes a scene in which the two stars brawl, moving from a bar interior out to the muddy swamp.
The project apparently came about after Tiffany approached Syfy with the request that she and Gibson appear together in a movie, playing on their old pop culture rivalry. Gibson and Tiffany were never actually at odds with one another, but they were frequently portrayed that way by the media.
"Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" is set to start shooting this month. "Pet Sematary" and classic-Madonna-video helmer Mary Lambert will direct, with a script from Naomi Selfman, who wrote the 2004 horror flick "Evil Eyes," starring Adam Baldwin, Jennifer Gates and Udo Kier.

Cause she is always at my house
I would much rather see Tiffany and Debbie Gibson team up with Martika for an eighties teen diva concert tour. Preferable to a b-movie.
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
Ah, when I was a lad in junior high and high school, these gals were fetching. I don’t think I heard a note of their music, though.
With these two making movies, Oscar will have a difficult choice to make next year!!

Ah, if only MST3K were still on the air. Mike (or Joel) and the ‘bots would love this stinkburger. Paging Dr. Forrester...
Crystal meth is a dangerous thing to be fooling around with.
C’mon, if you’re talking high-quality, memorable, Asimov and Hugo level science fiction, you gotta ping FR’s scifi (Scify?) guy.
(Where does the WWE come into all of this?)

Tiffany, 2003
“Martika”
Who?
Can’t they just stick to posing nude?
The old styles were SOOO much better.
She just looks plain and boring now.
Really, this is just too hilarious to contemplate.
I thought it was a joke when I saw the headline, like Scrappleface or AZ Conservative.
If this doesn’t win an Emmy, I’d be shocked.
I do have to ask one question. Just how loaded were the scriptwriters?
Syfy original movies are starting to be like Lifetime movies... bad scripts employing celebrity names from the distant past. (but I will definitely tune in for this one!)
Tiffany: "I think we're alone now."
Debbie: "Only in my dreams."
Tiffany: "There doesn't seem to be anyone around."
Debbie: "There was a place where all you could do was wish on a four leaf clover."
Mega Python and Gatoroid: [Eats Tiffany and Debbie] "Burp."
The End...
