I waited for a half day today to see if this was a hoax or if it could be verified, but so far no word on these ultra-hilarious pics of Bill Gates proportedly from Tiger Beat 1983. Oh God let it be real!
I don't have any knowledge on this issue, only a guess.
Judging by the cover pictures of Tiger Beat as presented to me in the magazine section of the supermarkets in the suburbs of Philadelphia, there would be several things wrong with Gates being in there:
1. No crush appeal.
2. Not a singer or actor.
3. A little on the old side for the Tiger Beat fan base. Speaking of the fan base, would they even know who Bill Gates is way back in 1983? I don't remember the first time that I heard about him, but I question if it was even in the 80's.
Besides, Steve Jobs is much cuter.

Here's the snopes report.
I knew it wouldn't take much time. I checked snopes but I guess it hadn't circulated widely enough for them to get asked about it yet (their page is dated 1-19). Thanks for the tip, McD.
The kitty emblem puts it over the top!
