Gregg Gillis chose his moniker wisely. Who wouldn't want to name their mash-up/sampling act after a fancy form of truth-or-dare game that adolescents in 1988 stayed up all night playing at sleepovers? Especially one that requires you to wear fake zit stickers if you screwed up.
During a round of Girl Talk, pre-pubescent girls take turns acting out stunts (call a radio station and dedicate a song to a boy you like!) or sharing secrets (I totally have a crush on James Franco, zomg!). Whoever collects a fortune card from "Career," "Children," "Marriage," and "Special Moments" wins. The game and at life. Gosh. You really can have it all!
Now there is a Hannah Montana version. The purists in us do not approve.

Nice, someone got me that game when I was kid. I was a tomboy and never touched the thing though.
