Broadway Bares all for Playboy! In the Feburary 11th edition Gibson "shakes her love". This has come "Out Of the Blue".

Thank you.

It's reported by Liz Smith so it must be true.

Discuss.

Oh, Deborah.

You worked so hard for so many years to be considered a legitimate actress -- and you were really great in GYPSY.

Why this? (Not that there's anything wrong with posing nude for "Playboy," it's just that you worked to hard to be taken seriously. I doubt this is the right route to be taking, love.)

Karen Ziemba was in Playboy years ago too.

How pathetic. I guess her american idol stint didn't help her.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

It's coincidentally coming out just as her new CD is being released, with the first single which is called "Naked."

Karen Z posed for Playboy long before she became a "known" Broadway personality.

It is suprising that Gibson is taking this turn. Since she has kept her clean image from the 1980's going all these years.

And it's not like she has dropped off the radar like the Jets!

Wouldn't that be like Norah Jones of today posing for Playboy in 2022?

So, should I assume she is the cover girl/centerfold?
I don't know why I'm asking...

Well Ziemba wasn't actually photographed posing naked, so it is possible to be in Playboy and be tasteful. Apparently. So maybe Ms Gibson will exercise a little discretion and be tastefully decorated so as to be naked without actually being nude. Who knows?

If Gibson is being hyped as being the cover celebrity she'll be naked, at least topless. Some of the more recent celebrities have gone without showing everything below the belt but topless is assumed.

The centerfold is always the monthly Playmate, not the featured celebrity who gets a photospread.

That's what I assume - if she is the centerfold that is...yeah Debbie, a little raunch my dear.

I ended up seeing more of Ms Gibson during Don't Tell Mama in Cabaret than I ever got with any Sally...If she's "freeing her inhibitions" for PB, then I think she's going to be pretty damn free.

Anyone know how I can subscribe?

lets hope they have a paper bag over her head!

wow..that was mean.

No, she is not the centerfold. The centerfold is Playmate of the Month and is always a young unknown, NEVER a celebrity, unless you include Marilyn Monroe in the very first issue in 1954.

By the way, if you want to see the infamous Karen Ziemba Playboy pic, it's in my Fan Photos file.

How about a pictorial for Playgirl - all Broadway stars!

[PJ]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 3:33pm

Ehh, I guess she needs the publicity.

[mallardo]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 3:38pm

I saw her a few months back in Brigadoon in LA and she looked very hot. I'll be buying it.

According to some radio morning show I heard out here in L.A., she will not be on the cover. thank goodness for small favors.
