Somebody Still Loves You Debbie Gibson

It’s always a bit amusing when pop stars of our distant past rear their heads up once again, this time with an air of tabloid/morning talk show hype. Debbie Gibson (or Deborah, as she now calls herself) is probably thankful she still has any fans at all. Still, this did not halt her from filing for a restraining order against one Spaniard, a fan-site operator and self-proclaimed “Debhead” by the name of Jordi Bassas Puigdollers (pictured above with Gibson, courtesy of The Superficial Blog). On Tuesday, a restraining order was issued against Puigdollers, demanding that he stay 100 yards away from Gibson, and stop attending her concerts or attempting to contact her. Especially when there doesn’t seem to be anyone around.

From AP:

The man, reached by phone in Spain, said he meant no harm.
“I wanted to use the fan club to help people who can’t go see her to get autographs and photos,” he told The Associated Press in Spanish…

Our boy can still attend her concerts after all this, but he has to stay far back. I would say I’m surprised Gibson is still playing anywhere, but I happened to see her live a few years back. She played Chico State for a free lunchtime outdoor concert in 2002 or so. Totally Sucked! She closed with her most famous tune, “I Think We’re Alone Now,” which, although to only recognizable number, failed to inspire but the least interest from the audience. Even in my tweenie-bop years I didn’t think it matched up to Tommy James and The Shondells.

We have the visual goods after the jump. From the look of it, homeboy seems pretty harmless; he just spends thousands of dollars a year traveling to see his favorite performer do her thing. But those are always the ones you have to watch after, right?. TMZ has the documents if you want to read them in full.
