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.

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.

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…

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 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…

LOOKING LIKE MARGOT ROBBIE HAS ITS ADVANTAGES

Rabid fans were lined up at 3 AM at Leicester Square in the UK for the Barbie premier – and that’s 12 hours before the pink carpet event started! Best of all, many were dressed up like Barbie and Ken. One of the most popular turned out to be a professional Margot Robbie lookalike Amanda Hall, who works for a local talent agency. Amanda has made previous appearances in London as Margot’s character Harley Quinn. The lookalike wore pink to the premier and was mobbed by fans begging for photos…

MARGOT ROBBIE: SMARTER THAN SHE LOOKS

Margot Robbie has been channeling Barbie as she appears around the globe on red carpets everywhere promoting the anticipated movie about the legendary doll. Margot has been wearing custom made outfits (above) to duplicate some of Barbie’s most famous costumes. Margot agreed to the cute gimmick with one condition: that she’s able to KEEP all of the outfits. According to a well-placed source, if the movie is the blockbuster like it’s expected to be, she plans to auction off the clothes to benefit her favorite charities, thinking the bigger the box office the more her one-of-a-kind fashions will be worth. THAT’S thinking ahead…

IS RYAN GOSLING TOO OLD TO PLAY KEN?

Warner Bros and Mattel films have finally put all the pieces together to film their long-awaited Barbie movie. Margot Robbie, 31, is an appropriate choice to star as Barbie in the live-action film. But what about Ryan Gosling as Ken? In this photo, Ryan looks more like a popular bartender at The Abbey than a beach boy from the 1960’s. In spite of his body wax, he has that currently trendy five o’clock shadow. And, of course, Ryan IS 41 years old! Shouldn’t Ken be younger? Harry Styles would be cute in the part, but he has too much personality. Justin Bieber has all the right elements, but too many tattoos… Patrick Schwarzenegger?

MARGOT ROBBIE DOESN’T NEED BLONDE HAIR TO BE A BOMBSHELL

Margot Robbie has been the “hot blonde” in Hollywood for quite awhile now, but she has no fear of going back to her natural color. Fans mobbed her for autographs at the Suicide Squad 2 premier this week – her platinum blond character Harley Quinn, described as “a criminal psychiatrist turned homicidal moll” has appeared in 3 movies so far. In this latest version, Harley is “dating” and, of course, looking for love in all the wrong places. Margot’s hair won’t be brown for long- she’s set to do a live-action Barbie film written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach.

NICOLE, MARGOT, CHARLIZE: UNITED THEY STAND

This is an exceptional photo of the three very different stars of Bombshell: Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, and Charlize Theron. These women are as dissimilar as their apparel, but they had a mutual goal in making this film: telling an important story. This version of the revolting Roger Ailes at Fox News scandal buried the Showtime miniseries with Russell Crowe – probably because the WOMEN were the main characters. Three very accomplished actresses shared the screen time –they all knew it was extremely important to detail exactly what happened at Fox in order to change future behavior. Charlize Theron is the female Christian Bale when it comes to assuming a new look and personality for a role – her metamorphosis into Megyn Kelly is astonishing.
