Debbie Gibson leads the new Electric Youth

Emboldened by her position as Cowell-like judge on an online talent show, Debbie - now Deborah, if you please - Gibson has established a camp for young people. The Electric Youth camp, of course.

Gibson believes her career means she's, like, Hannah Montana 1.0:

"I was like the Miley Cyrus of my generation and I have a lot of experience and knowledge to offer today's aspiring performers," says Deborah Gibson. "Working with young talent and helping cultivate their skills is extremely rewarding."

We're not entirely sure we'd choose Debbie - sorry, Deborah - Gibson - to guide our kid's career, as she drove into the ground quite quickly and wound up doing, well, this sort of thing:


Of course, when the Debbie Gibson pictures appeared in Playboy, they weren't quite so coy about her being nude.

Come and get some in Aretha's kitchen

Aretha Franklin is planning to do her bit for deprived kids by launching, erm, a summer camp:

"What I wanna do is have something called Camp Aretha or Camp Ree-Ree for inner-city children of a certain grade point average to come out and take classes in different things.

"Classes in cooking, classes in engineering, classes in how to do a lot of things."

Why do we get the impression this idea might not be totally thought through?
