Debbie Gibson Opens Up About Being A Teen Star, And One Fan's "Dying Wish"

By Tanya
Debbie Gibson first came into our lives in the mid 80s with her song "Only In My Dreams." The singer/songwriter released the single in 1986, and was signed immediately. She recorded her first album in only four weeks, and managed to make her way onto the Top 40 charts. Gibson would later become the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard number-one single, which she earned for her song "Foolish Beat." She was one of the biggest names in pop music in the 80s, and her bowler hats and rolled up jeans made her the style icon

The Original 'Transformers' Movie Is Coming Back To Theaters And We're Ready To Roll Out

By Tanya
How many times have you watched the classic 1986 Transformers movie? Probably a lot right? The classic story about our favorite robots in disguise is the only one that matters to a lot of us. Sorry Shia LaBeouf, but the only Optimus Prime we really want to see is the cartoon one. Okay, sure, a lot of people seem to love the live-action movies, otherwise why else would they be making a sixth one? But I think we can all admit that the cartoon is where true fans go when they want to watch some quality Transformers content. The movie

First Look At The New 'Terminator' Sequel Shows Sarah Connor Is Back And Ready To Fight

By Tanya
The Terminator movies were some of the most influential action movies of our time. They made us think twice about having AI robots, and honestly, they freaked a lot of us out completely when we were young. Should we have been watching Terminator as kids? Probably not. Did that stop us? Nope! Instead we all just developed what I'll call a 'healthy concern' for super-mega corporations that we think could be turning into the next Skynet. Sarah Connor became our hero. The way she transformed from damsel to badass lady really stood out as something different, and even though her

'Alf' Is Getting A Reboot, So You'd Better Keep An Eye On Your Cats

By Tanya
When you look back on the 80s, one of the most beloved shows that people still reminisce about is definitely a weird one. ALF was released in 1986, and starred an extraterrestrial named ALF. It was an acronym for "Alien Life Form,"  and somehow this weird little creature ended up living in a suburban home with a family. Even though I watched most of this series, I don't know that I could explain the reasoning behind any of this, but the fact of the matter was puppets were pretty popular and it managed to become a huge hit.

By Zachary
Nostalgia is a funny thing, when we look back at our childhood we tend to remember the really great moments and the really awful ones, but not much in between. It's the same with TV shows. When you think of watching TV in the '80s, only hits like Cheers and The A-Team come to mind, but the truth is for every memorable show there were at least a dozen we'd rather forget.This list doesn't collect the worst TV shows from the 80s, but it does include 11 that most people have forgotten about. It's a real mix of the

Jane Fonda Confirms The '9 To 5' Sequel Is Happening And Hints At What's Planned

By Tanya
The news that a new 9 To 5 movie was coming had us all a little intrigued, but without any confirmations we weren't about to get our hopes up. It's always disappointing when you hear about a sequel that you actually want, only to find out they are rebooting it with an all new cast. But don't worry, because the one and only Jane Fonda has come to the rescue and given us the answers we've been wondering about the rumored follow up to the 80s classic. On Wedneday, Fonda revealed that not only has she been involved with the

Libraries Have Started Hosting Bob Ross Paint-Alongs, But You Might Wait Months To Get In

By Tanya
If there is one person that we can all agree is a genuinely delightful person, it would be Bob Ross. Every single word out of his mouth feels like it's designed specifically to relax you, and every single piece of art he created was unbelievably amazing. Everyone who has watched his show on PBS knows that he would start by slapping down a layer of liquid white, and then start applying paint in seemingly random areas. A little here, a little there, and then suddenly he's got this gorgeous landscape scene with a mountain, some fluffy clouds, and of course

'Big' Is Celebrating Their 30th Anniversary By Heading Back To Theaters

By Tanya
Big is one of those movies that no matter how ridiculous the plot seems, we all still love it. It is beloved by critics and fans alike, and to this day we all are obsessed with it. The Tom Hanks comedy manages to make a movie about a kid who turned into an adult overnight seem like it's almost realistic. You feel like Josh could be a real guy, and you really want him to find that Zoltar machine. It has been 30 years since the release of the classic movie, and to celebrate the anniversary, it's coming back to

You'll Soon Be Able To Get 'The Baby-Sitter's Club' With Their Original Covers

By Tanya
There are a few books that just scream childhood. Sweet Valley High was always a staple, Goosebumps were basically required reading, and then of course The Baby-Sitter's Club was crucial. There were always new adventures for The Baby-Sitter's Club to go on, but obviously we all had our favorites. Rumors started swirling about a new Baby-Sitter's Club TV show a little while ago, and while we were excited about it, there's something just extra special about the original books. Luckily for us, Scholastic realized this and has decided to make something for those of us who are feeling a little

Alleged 'Mortal Kombat' Reboot Character List Gets Leaked, Throwing Fans Into A Panic

By Tanya
The movie Mortal Kombat was a pretty exciting thing back in the day. While it's pretty popular for movies to be made out of video games now, back in the 90s it was all still new. The thing was, the movie didn't turn out as great as everyone expected. Critics hated it, and fans weren't completely sold on it either. While it made a decent amount of money, they kind of pushed their luck and made a sequel, seemingly killing the franchise. But it seems as though enough time has passed, and Warner Bros. and New Line are ready to
