Barbie

'Suicide Squad' star Margot Robbie will replace Amy Schumer in a 'Barbie' film from Warner Bros. and Mattel.

Every Friday there’s a piece of movie news legitimately worthy of a big TGIF: Today, that news is that Margot Robbie is in talks to play Barbie in the live-action movie of the same name, inspired by the iconic Mattel doll. Even better news: Patty Jenkins, the director who breathed new, glorious life into the DCEU with Wonder Woman, is in early talks to direct it.

The all-American man is changing, but America isn't ready.

It's a big day for Barbie. Back on this day in 1959 Barbie went on sale at stores across the nation and changed little girls' lives forever. Now this date is not to be mistaken for her birthday. That is March 9, 1959 when she first appeared at the American International Toy Fair in New York City.

Demi Lovato will celebrate a milestone birthday on August 20: she'll turn 21.  And she already has a very special birthday gift in mind.

As a 16-year-old, Galia Slayen made a life-size Barbie out of wood, chicken wire, paper-mache and -- of course -- two big balloons as way to deal with her anorexia. Now, four years later, Slayen is a sophomore at Hamilton College and is using the massive (but freakishly slim) doll she built to start a conversation about eating disorders and body image issues.
