A Near Miss For Uma Thurman

debbie-gibson-intouch-too-skinny-bikini.jpgI was perusing one of my favorite sites, What Would Tyler Durden Do?, when I came across this terrifying picture on the left. My first thought was, "Oh my god, what happened to Uma Thurman?" Then I realized it was Debbie Gibson and I felt a little better. Deborah (as she likes to be called now) has been dating a fitness trainer - and, for better or worse, it shows. Check out this little tidbit from Evil Beet, circa August 2009: 

[You know, it would be only too easy to show you what Deborah Gibson looks like today. Today she is seventeen pounds thinner thanks to a strict exercise and diet regimen designed by her preventative medicine boyfriend. She started out wanting to lose five pounds, but then realized that she had much more to lose. Or, her boyfriend threw some BMI charts at her and told her she had much more to lose. Now that Deb is in negotiations for a reality show, I can only hope it will be the nail in the coffin of her year-and-a-half relationship with the idiot who thought she was too fat.]

A diet inspired by a boyfriend? I've heard of better ideas. Here's a link to the People magazine article from the same time frame as EB that maps out Gibson's journey to skeletal. It looks to me that a little help has gone a long way. Too long. On the other hand, thank god Uma still looks like this. Whew.
