Barbie and Ken: Itâs Over
Real news on the sensitive issues of the day for all of you distracted by all the fluff-gossip about a certain haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat and an outspoken ketchup heiress . . . Fox News; EFLNEW YORK â One of Americaâs most famous couples is calling it quits. Are you sitting down? After 43 years together, Barbie and Ken â as in the dolls â have decided that breaking up is hard to do, but do it they must. Since theyâre dolls â and famous â Barbie and Ken had no comment about their split at the International Toy Fair, where the bombshell was dropped. The announcement predictably came from their spokespeople during a news conference Thursday. âThis is an announcement we thought weâd never make,â said Barbieâs publicist, Ken Sunshine. âI will confirm that Ken and Barbie are going to go their separate ways.â Sunshine, who also represents Hollywood stars such as Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, said Barbie is looking forward to spending time in her Dream house, and asked the press to "Please, please respect their privacy." Drudge is not yet reporting it, but there are rumors linking Ken to one of the Flavas. The twosomeâs relationship might be over, but their troubles arenât, especially when it comes to the settlement. Theyâll be faced with the task of divvying up the hundreds of possessions theyâve amassed over the years, such as the Barbie Bubble Bath, the Barbie Camper, the Barbie Townhouse and the Barbie Sun N Sand 4x4 vehicle. On the other hand, maybe weâll see Frontier Justice Barbie make an appearance. Posted by: John Kerry 2004-02-12 |
