DID PINK FROCKS SABOTAGE MARGOT ROBBIE’S OSCAR CHANCES?

You won’t read this anywhere else, but Margot Robbie is blaming her gimmicky red carpet Barbie pink gowns for possibly costing her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. As we previously revealed, Margot grew tired of dressing like a doll for major events and now she’s griping to pals that the cute but overplayed idea likely played a factor in her not earning a nomination today. Soon after the nominations were announced she confided to friends that dressing like Barbie for many occasions somehow minimized her onscreen efforts of transforming into the doll and she secretly feels it played a part in the snub.

Barbie Fashion Margot Robbie Pink

WE TOLD YA SO! MARGOT ROBBIE GOT HER WAY

We told you so! Just last week we revealed how Barbie star Margot Robbie was tired of dressing up like the doll. From promotional appearances to award shows, all of Margot‘s outfits mimicked Barbie’s various looks. After the Golden Globes – where she wore a Giorgio Armani interpretation of an iconic Barbie pink gown – Margot let it be known she was done dressing like the doll. As usual, our scoop was spot on. Exactly one week later, Margot appeared at the Critics Choice Awards in a red gown that did not copy any of Barbie’s past looks. Just as we told you, Margot was determined reclaim her own style and she DID it.

Barbie Doll Dress Fashion Golden Globes Margot Robbie

MARGOT ROBBIE IS UP TO HERE WITH BARBIE PINK

Margot Robbie is fed up with dressing like a doll. The Barbie star has appeared at countless promotional events dressed in some of Barbie’s most iconic costumes, and as we reported in July, she negotiated to KEEP all of the outfits and plans to auction them off for charity later. Margot showed up at The Golden Globes dressed in a pink sequined gown, which duplicated an iconic Barbie look, but she didn’t win the best actress award as many predicted. Margot is still hoping to get nominated for an Academy Award for the role but she’s already telling friends if she DOES score an Oscar nomination, she doesn’t want to show up to that event looking like Barbie. Our source explained that Margot is grateful for her film’s success, but now feels the gimmick has gotten stale and she wants her own style back. Can’t blame her…

Barbie Barbie Doll Mattel Oscar Winner

ADD AN “OSCAR WINNER” BARBIE DOLL TO YOUR COLLECTION

She’s been an astronaut, a judge and has done practically everything else but will Barbie now be an Oscar winner? Odds are good since Barbie got 9 nominations for Golden Globes. According to an insider, if Margot Robbie wins an Oscar for playing the iconic doll or the movie happens to win one for best movie or best screenplay, plans are already underway with Mattel to launch a very limited edition “Oscar winner” Barbie. The proceeds will be donated to the Academy’s Film Museum. Limited edition Barbies are very collectible and can sell for a small fortune, so this will be a win-win situation in terms of marketing and for the film museum.

Barbie Jessica Alves Plastic Surgery Rodrigo Alves Transgender Transition

SORRY JESSICA ALVES, YOU DO NOT NOT LOOK LIKE BARBIE

Up until 2019, Brazilian Rodrigo Alves had dozens of painful plastic surgeries to look like the perfect Ken Doll- including bicep and six-pack enhancement. After all that, he decided he’d rather be the perfect Barbie doll, and had the male surgeries reversed and started transitioning into a “woman.” Can you imagine having your adams apple removed? Now he’s called Jessica Alves, and he’s chalked up over a hundred surgeries hoping to look like Barbie, but looks more like Lil’ Kim. We just HAD to know where he got all the money needed to finance his indulgence and it turns out he inherited millions from his mother’s wealthy parents. We just cannot imagine how Jessica sleeps at night with all this extra padding injected into his/her body…

Barbie Corvette Margot Robbie Memorabilia Perks Pink

MARGOT ROBBIE IS TAKING HOME LOTS OF PINK – AND GREEN!

Now that Barbie has surpassed the BILLION dollar box office haul, studio executives are SO thrilled that they gifted its star and producer, Margot Robbie with THE vintage pink Corvette convertible used in the movie as a thank you. (For those in the know- Angelyne will be jealous!) As we previously revealed, Margot was able to keep all of her custom pink carpet fashions, so this adds to her valuable haul of memorabilia. Don’t think for a second though, that Margot is only walking away with some clothes and a car! My source says she’s also getting a percentage of the box office which will translate into a NICE chunk of change. AND she’s onboard for a sequel…

Barbie Greta Gerwig Margot Robbie Movies Music Taylor Swift Women

BARBIE AND TAYLOR SWIFT ARE BREAKING RECORDS RIGHT AND LEFT

The summer of 2023 has revealed the power of women. Females are dominating the movie world AND the music world. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie had the biggest opening weekend of all time for a film that was not a sequal. The third weekend is expected to bring in a worldwide total of a billion dollars! At the same time, Taylor Swift concerts and albums are smashing records. She’s the first living artist in 60 years to chart 4 albums in the top 10 at once on the Billboard chart. In ONE day she sold over two million tour tickets and held the top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for her Midnights album. Keep in mind, Beyonce’s tour is also raking in the bucks. It’s high time the power of women both as performers and consumers is recognized…

Barbie Barbie Doll Gambling Slot Machine

BARBIE HAS BEEN MANY THINGS, BUT DEFINITELY NOT A GAMBLER

It’s one of the biggest movies of the year so it’s not surprising that Barbie merchandise and branding is everywhere, but there’s ONE place you won’t see it – at the casino! According to a studio insider, executives turned DOWN a lucrative branding deal to feature Barbie on slot machines all around the world. The insider says they didn’t want to tarnish Barbie’s wholesome reputation by associating her with gambling.

Barbie Boxoffice Greta Gerwig Success Women

THE BEST THING ABOUT BARBIE

Warner Bros publicity department must be dominated by women because they did ALL the right things when it came to promoting Barbie. The film has broken all records with one of the biggest weekends in history! So what if they misled the SAG/AFTRA union (see https://janetcharltonshollywood.com/?s=fran+drescher) – it was WORTH it! The best thing about Barbie is not only did it celebrate the importance of women, but it was directed by the extremely likable FEMALE Greta Gerwig. Barbie is the TOP opening film of 2023 and has NOTHING to do with male superheroes! Right now we’re thinking that more than a few of those male CEO’s at Warner Bros should be replaced by females…
