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…

RYAN GOSLING IS WAY MORE THAN “JUST” KEN

Here’s a surprise: while Margot Robbie is much appreciated in her starring role as Barbie in the new film, it’s actually Ryan Gosling as “just” Ken who’s getting the rave reviews! Critics and fans are saying amazing things about Ryan’s performance: “He’s the best part of the movie” “It’s the role he was born to play!” “Ken stole the show!” “The best performance of his career! “Ken delivered most of the laughs!” “He deserves an Oscar nomination!” Seriously! And MEN who can be dragged to see Barbie are actually enjoying it. So it turns out Ryan was NOT too old to play the part…

BILLIE EILISH: MORE THAN A BARBIE FAN

We did NOT realize that Billie Eilish contributed some of the best music to the Barbie movie, or that she happens to be a huge fan of the original Barbie doll. We haven’t seen a lot of her since her amicable split from musician Jesse Rutherford, but she turned up at the Barbie Hollywood premier looking happy and different. Billie changed her hair color and added pink to her playful, funky wardrobe. (Those SHOES!) No sign of Gucci at THIS event. At 21, Billie is already worth 30 million dollars…

A SNIPPET OF BARBIE

 My EXACT experience as a young child- I was given rubbery baby dolls for Christmas that I didn’t want to feed, wearing diapers I didn’t want to change. I dreamed of having a doll with a beautiful WARDROBE ….. Margot Robbie actually looks more like Barbie than anyone else probably could. 

This is the Barbie Teaser Trailer

MORE BARBIES THAN WE EVER IMAGINED

There’s an estate sale happening in Los Angeles this weekend and we saw lots of advance photos of the stuff on sale- this was a Barbie doll collector! We had NO idea there were SO many Barbies of SO many kinds produced over the years! Some are even copies of dead movie stars. How about Barbie Loves Elvis? Or James Dean in his red jacket? Little did we know there was a Harley-Davidson Barbie doll! And how about Barbie and Ken dressed for a Star Trek mission! The collection also has Barbie through the years- above you can see  Barbie in the Fabulous Forties and she has rolled hair and shoulder pads. We love them ALL! And none of these dolls have ever been played with- that’s almost a shame…

ANOTHER BARBIE WANNABE

Ever since Rodrigo Alves surgically turned himself into Jessica Alves, he/she has yearned to be Barbie and wear pink. Alves endured 91 cosmetic procedures – the most recent were a face and lip lift, a trim of the jaw and chin bones to make his head look smaller, and voice feminization surgery to raise the pitch. It’s utterly AMAZING what men will do to themselves to become women! The biggest mystery of all is WHERE does Alves get the money for all these surgeries and transitions? Does Brazilian-born Alves come from a ridiculously wealthy family? Another question: Where does he/she find legit doctors WILLING to pull off these iffy surgeries? Will all this time and effort help Jessica find Mr Right?

MGK AND MEGAN FOX: DROPPING A GREAT BIG HINT?

Coincidence? We think not. Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox just happened to go out in New York last night looking like THIS – practically head-to-toe HOT pink. It so happens the Barbie movie just started filming in LA, starring Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie. Looks like Kelly and Megan want Warner Bros/Mattel and director Greta Gerwig to know that THEY should have been cast! And from the looks of it, they ARE naturals. Both look good with blonde hair and MGK already favors the color pink. They are the rock n’ roll version of Barbie and Ken! It would have updated the story considerably. Maybe someone ELSE will make the Kelly/Fox version of Barbie and Ken.

RYAN GOSLING HAS TWO FEMALES HE HOPES TO IMPRESS

Okay, we’re in. We weren’t so sure we wanted to see the Barbie movie but this photo convinced us we have to. Seeing Ryan Gosling in this goofy outfit  on roller skates is worth the price of admission. Ryan and Margot Robbie were filming on Venice Beach today and he didn’t fall down once. We’re betting he took the role because of his two little girls, Esmeralda and Amada..

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?
