She is currently on tour and has now decided to release 2 new dance songs called "Just Another Day"" and "Move Ya" which were produced by Dave Aude (Annie Lennox fame) . Needless to say the amazing response, has prompted Tiffany to start recording a full length "Dance" album, and continue to tour year round. She also just filmed a starring role in an independent movie, stars in a new nationwide commercial with Meatloaf, guest starred on the CBS TV show "How I Met Your Mother." She has also just signed on to star in 2 new reality shows (one is for CMT) filming in June and early July, just prior to the start of her summer tour. The "I Think We're Alone Now" Girl recently finished up a starring "role" in VH1's Celebrity Fit Club where she ended up losing 30 pounds and got down to her Playboy weight. Needless to say it gathered her an avalanche of press from the cover of "In Touch" Magazine, radio to television show like the Tyra Banks show, Entertainment Tonight and the Insider TV shows. Her new CD, "Just Me," (which was recently released) on 10 Spot Records, (Universal Distribution) delivers a blend of pop and rock in a singer-songwriter style with a little country thrown into the mix. The first single and video from the album is the uptempo smash hit called "Feels Like Love." Tiffany began her career at the age of 13 when she signed her first recording contract with MCA. The self-titled debut album was released in 1987 and eventually went quadruple platinum. The innovative "Mall Tour" that followed proved to be the signature for Tiffany's early career and was very effective in targeting her core audience of young teens makingTiffany the youngest female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard charts. Tiffany produced three top ten hits, two of which were national and international #1 pop singles "Could've Been" and the celebrated "I Think We're Alone Now." The soon-to-be teen pop phenomenon, New Kids on the Block, got their big break as the opening act for her world tour. Tiffany released her second album, Hold An Old Friend's Hand, which went double platinum and featured the top ten hit "All This Time." In addition to her ground breaking successful music career, Tiffany had the opportunity to be the voice of Judy Jetson in the feature version of the popular cartoon series, The Jetsons. During the '90s, Tiffany released two more albums, New Inside and Dreams Never Die (released exclusively in Asia). To start off the new Millennium, she introduced what became known as her "comeback" album, The Color of Silence with stellar critical reviews including from Billboard: "The Color of Silence is one of the finest pop albums of 2000." In 2005 she independently released the club sensation, Dust Off and Dance, which spanned several dance-club hit's (namely, Be With You Tonight and Fly) that her fans demand she perform in her "club show". Tiffany makes her home in Nashville with her husband of three years, her son Elijah, three dogs, two turtles and five fish. She enjoys cooking and preparing fine cuisine for her friends and family. When she's not busy with her rigorous workout routine, she's a self-admitted designer shopaholic. Not bad for a local LA girl who just wanted to sing and went on to sell 16 million albums……
