Barbie: Celebs Rumors

It sounds like the fantasy career plan of a doll-loving child with a big imagination, Barbie's stylist. But before you break the news to your little one that this isn't actually a job, think again - because Barbie has her own Instagram account, and every fashion influencer needs a good wardrobe. Fresh from the blockbuster success of last year's Barbie movie, the doll launched on March 9, 1959 has never been more on trend.

To quote Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Infinity War,’ “Your math is blowing my mind.” Last month, director Zack Snyder appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience (you can watch/listen below) to promote his latest film, “Rebel Moon: Part Two” (read our review).

Rawandan-British actor Ncuti Gatwa is on the rise with roles in “Sex Education,” “Barbie,” and currently, as the lead of “Doctor Who,” the wildly popular BBC sci-fi comedy series that first aired in 1963. Gatwa’s casting in “Doctor Who” saw the actor face an extreme level of racist backlash, reminding us all over again of the sexism that fellow “Doctor Who” alumni Jodie Whittaker experienced when she was hired to play the Doctor in 2017 (the role has mostly been portrayed by white men so far).

Becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023 and crossing the $1 billion mark, it’s hard to argue that “Barbie” wasn’t one of last year’s most significant cultural cinematic landmarks, even if it missed out at the most recent Oscars. Many actors have revealed they were part of the film, only to be cut, Olivia Colman, Saoirse Ronan, and possibly more, but there was another actually in the movie who didn’t really receive her moment.

Taylor Swift has reacted to Ryan Gosling‘s Barbie-themed take on her song ‘All Too Well’.Gosling was hosting SNL this weekend when he performed the reworked rendition of Swift’s ‘Red‘ classic for his opening monologue.The actor was joined by Emily Blunt – who played Kitty in Oppenheimer and stars alongside Gosling in their new film The Fall Guy – when they drew a line under the Barbenheimer phenomenon that surrounded their respective Oscar-nominated roles.All Too Well (Ryan and Emily’s Version) !!! Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour.

Ryan Gosling announced during his opening monologue on “Saturday Night Live” that he has had to “break up” with his “Barbie” character Ken — but not before one final sendoff. “I’m here because of my new movie, ‘The Fall Guy’ with Emily Blunt,” Gosling, 43, told the cheering crowd. “So don’t worry, I’m not going to make any jokes about Ken because it’s not funny.

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have drawn a line under their Barbenheimer experiences by performing a duet of Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ on Saturday Night Live.Gosling, who played Ken in Barbie, was hosting the episode of SNL, and was joined in the opening monologue by Blunt, who played Kitty in Oppenheimer.The two, who are also co-starring in the new action comedy The Fall Guy, reflected on the difficulty in moving past such a huge phenomenon. “You know, when you play a character that hard, that long, just letting go feels like a breakup and for processing a breakup, there’s really only one thing that can help – the music of the great Taylor Swift,” said Gosling.With that, they launched into their adapted version of ‘All Too Well’, complete with choreographed backing dancers and scenery referencing both films.“I was just Ken, and now I’m just Ryan,” sang Gosling, with Blunt adding: “I used to be the alcoholic wife of a dude in a hat / Talking to Albert Einstein / Sipping a margarita / With some Christopher Nolan and a bag of vodkila”.See the sketch below:Gosling ended weeks of uncertainty by showing up at the Oscars last month and performing a showstopping version of ‘I’m Just Ken’, alongside Mark Ronson and Slash.Since then, Ronson has reflected on the legacy of the song, which he co-wrote and produced.

“I’m Just Ken” at this year’s Oscars, but was persuaded to do so because of his daughters’ love for Barbie.The Canadian actor, who starred alongside Margot Robbie in the summer hit film, initially told the Academy he wasn’t interested in the live performance because anything could happen.“100 percent no,” Gosling said during his appearance Thursday night on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.“There’s a lot of ways that could go wrong.”Gosling, 43, eventually agreed to put on the show, complete with backup dancers, musician Mark Ronson, and a surprise appearance by legendary “Guns N’ Roses” guitarist Slash.The performance has garnered hundreds of millions of views on social media, Spotify and Apple Music.Gosling earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the Greta Gerwig film.The father of two later shared what his daughters thought when he brought them to the dress rehearsal for his now-viral performance.“Dad’s Ken-ning again,” Gosling joked. The Golden Globes winner shares the two girls with “The Place Beyond the Pines” co-star Eva Mendes.Gosling brought his daughters, 7 and 9 years old, to set to watch him play the Mattel doll-inspired character to give them context for what their father had been up to.“It was their interest in Barbie and their disinterest in Ken that sort of started all of this,” the Ken actor admitted.“It’s really been a team effort, and they were on the film and they came to set when I filmed the number,” Gosling said.

Margot Robbie will produce a “blockbuster” live-action feature film based on the board game Monopoly, it was announced today (April 10).The project was announced today’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where the actor’s production company, LuckyChap, was confirmed to be working with toy company Hasbro on the film. Lionsgate will develop the film.Monopoly is one of the most popular board games in the world and has sold over half a billion copies since its creation in the early 1900s.While details of the plot have not yet been shared, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Adam Fogelson said LuckyChap have a “clear point of view” with the direction they want to take the film.“I could not imagine a better production team for this beloved and iconic brand than LuckyChap,” Fogelsen said.

Barbenheimer. Barbie, listed in our 2023 spring movie preview, and Oppenheimer, which was not, had yet to assert their primacy over the year’s box office and pop culture conversation.Few conceived those two films would spark a phenomenon that rippled through media, fashion, merchandising, music, and awards show after awards show after awards show.After all the hype and hot takes, red carpet looks, historic victories and milestones, the Barbenheimer convo only really finally abated with the Oscar wins that shuffled Barbie, Ken, and Oppy off the stage in March, ushering cinema into the spring/summer season.Now, new cinematic fascinations await, new soundtracks of the summer, your next new favorite character or performance, some star-making smash that’ll keep the world talking until 2025.

Barbie film failed in the ’90s, long before the release of the 2023 hit starring Margot Robbie.In the latest episode of Dana Carvey and David Spade’s Fly on the Wall podcast this Wednesday (20 March), the Basic Instinct star said she was “thrown out” by an undisclosed studio for suggesting a story about the iconic doll.Detailing her pitch for the film, Stone said: “All the big people are chasing her [Barbie] around… it’s about the power of being Barbie and what Barbie could do in the world because she’s so powerful.”The Total Recall star, who switched her focus from acting to art during the COVID lockdown, recalled the studio’s negative reaction to the pitch.“I went to the studio to try and make Barbie in the 1990s with a producer, a friend of mine, and I had the then-CEO of Mattel on my side.

The Sims, is reportedly in production.The film adaptation is set to be produced by LuckyChap Entertainment, with principals Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara to produce alongside Vertigo Entertainment.The screenplay is set to be co-written by Briony Redman and the film’s director, Kate Herron, best known for directing the first season of Loki.The game’s publisher, Electronic Arts, is also set to have some involvement in the creation and production of the feature film.The Sims is a life simulation video game, in which the player controls an avatar, making them work, build houses, develop relationships, skills and personality traits.The first version of the game was released in 2002, and within two years had sold more than 6.3million copies world wide.Several expansion packs and sequel games later, the franchise has sold nearly 200million copies world-wide, becoming one of the best-selling video games of all time.

Barbie‘s ‘I’m Just Ken’ for his final Comic Relief appearance last night (March 15) – watch it below.The Comic Relief co-founder announced he was hosting his final Red Nose Day earlier this year, telling the BBC it was “time to hand on to the new generation”.Now, he has officially said his goodbyes with his own version of the Barbie‘s hit song, which he dubbed ‘I’m Just Len’ . Henry donned Ryan Gosling’s unforgettable costume and referenced several iconic sketches from nearly 40 years of hosting the annual show: “I’m Just Len / Acting with Idris and a chicken / Is it my legacy to wear a giant red nose on my meat and veg?“In the sketch, he also pondered about his future ambitions, including starring in “a Marvel movie with Beyoncé”, running for Prime Minister (“You know I’ll win”) and turning Number 10 into “a great big dope ass Premier Inn” (but maybe not I’m A Celeb, according to the sketch).Watch Henry’s full performance here.Henry founded Comic Relief with screenwriter Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Bridget Jones) in 1985, establishing the charity in response to the famine in Ethiopia.Since 1986, Comic Relief has hosted Red Nose Day as an annual fundraising event.

While largely overlooked at the Oscars, “Barbie” was still the highest-grossing film of 2023 and credited for getting a horde of moviegoers back into theaters, leading to the phenomenon of #Barbenheimer. This obviously also helped to amplify the Christopher Nolan atomic bomb biopic “Oppenheimer” and make it a huge box office hit in its own right.

Already well-known for her cheeky sense of humour, Queen Camilla had a good giggle when she was presented with a Barbie doll that looked just like her! The Queen was hosting a Women of the World event at Buckingham Palace when she was presented with the toy which had been designed in her likeness. Just like the Queen, the doll was dressed in a Royal blue Fiona Clare dress, a black Amanda Wakeley coat, Eliot Zed shoes and even had a Launer handbag and Van Cleef and Arpels bracelet.

shared the stage with a troupe of dancing Kens at the 2024 Oscars Sunday, but there’s only one Barbie in his life: Eva Mendes.And even though the Best Supporting Actor nominee for “Barbie” walked the red carpet with his sister and parents instead of his wife — the Hollywood honeys rarely make public appearances together — Mendes, 50, was backstage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles as Gosling, 43, was preparing to bring the house down with his performance of “I’m Just Ken.”In fact, before the ceremony, Mendes posted an Instagram reel — with “I’m Just Ken” playing, naturally — where she was standing outside Gosling’s dressing room with the caption: “Always be my man.”And after Gosling’s performance, Mendes gave us another behind-the-scenes Insta-peek with a pic of her rocking the same crystal-studded pink suit jacket and black cowboy hat that her husband wore during his show-stopping number.And this time the caption read: “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG.

prestigious Song of the Year prize at the Grammys last month.)But Ryan Gosling, 43, still won the night when he brought all of his Kenergy to the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.It was a show-stopping number unlike any that the Academy Awards had seen before.Instantly, Gosling’s Kenfest joined the ranks of these wackiest Oscar musical performances ever.The sight of the orange-jumpsuited singer cavorting across the stage with a troupe of ghosts and other assorted ghouls was truly scary. As was the fact that Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You” not only beat out the No.

Donald Trump’s criticism of him while hosting the Oscars last night (March 10).Kimmel, who hosted the Academy Awards ceremony for the fourth time, addressed the audience just before the final award of the evening, and read out a piece of criticism he had received during the event.A scathing review from the former President on Truth Social read: “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”Kimmel continued to read aloud from his phone: “Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos.

Mark Ronson has said that the song he co-wrote for the Barbie Movie, ‘I’m Just Ken’, has helped young boys in an emotional way.The renowned producer – famed for his work with Amy Winehouse and the hit track ‘Uptown Funk’ – co-wrote the song for the soundtrack to the hit 2023 blockbuster, with leading man Ryan Gosling taking on the vocals as the character of Ken.Now, Ronson has explained how he thinks the song’s lyrics about Ken’s unrequited love for Barbie may have impacted people dealing with rejection in the real world.“I know I’ll sound like David Brent, but the song helped young boys,” he told The Times (via Music News) during a new interview, referring to the fictitious character played by Ricky Gervais.“My friend’s eight-year-old got broken up with and he said, ‘It’s OK, because Ken got broken up with by Barbie.’ The song tells boys that it’s OK to be runner-up,” he added.“The internet’s caused a level of isolation in boys and this idea of male camaraderie and sharing your feelings is a nice and unexpected thing to come out of it.”Last night, Ronson and Gosling took to the stage at the 2024 Oscars to perform the track live, following weeks of uncertainty about whether the two would perform it at the ceremony.Gosling took to the stage clad in an all-pink Barbie-inspired outfit while Ronson played the guitar. During the performance, Gosling’s cast mates Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir and Scott Evans joined him to dance onstage.Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash also took part in the rendition, ripping through a guitar solo with Wolfgang Van Halen.

snooze-o-rama Oscars, “Oppenheimer” deservedly took home seven trophies: best picture, director (Christopher Nolan), actor (Cillian Murphy), supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), cinematography, score and editing.It wasn’t a brutal beatdown. “Poor Things,” starring Emma Stone, snapped three technical awards away from it (as well as a Best Actress honor for Stone), and Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction” deprived the atom bomb movie of Best Adapted Screenplay.

2024 Oscars were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on Sunday, March 10, airing on ABC (in the new earlier time slot of 7 p.m.). The Christopher Nolan flick starring Cillian Murphy was this year’s frontrunner, with a staggering 13 nominations — including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., respectively. The Best Actor race was a battle between Murphy, Bradley Cooper (“Maestro”), Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”), Colman Domingo (“Rustin”) and Jeffrey Wright (“American Fiction”).Murphy took home the expected win, and Nolan and Downey Jr.

Ryan Gosling’s rendition of Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” was, well, no match for his live rendition of “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Oscars. Gosling, 43, joined Mark Ronson, 48, (who also produced Dua Lipa’s “Barbie” hit “Dance the Night”) onstage at the Dolby Theatre in LA on Sunday — with an epic surprise appearance by guitar legend Slash. Dressed in a bedazzled Barbie pink suit, Gosling started his performance from the audience, behind Margot Robbie, who chuckled at his dramatics.

Mark Ronson has said that ‘I’m Just Ken’ almost didn’t make it to the final cut of Barbie amid concern that it “wasn’t working”.While Ryan Gosling’s iconic song is arguably one of the most beloved parts of the film, Ronson (who wrote and produced the track) revealed that the world nearly didn’t get to hear it.“I thought, ‘God, I hope we don’t ruin it,'” he told Sunday Times Culture [via MusicNews].“At that first screening the song wasn’t working. I panicked,” he said. “The humour wasn’t translating and Greta had to fight.

Jimmy Kimmel is set to host and Scorpio king Ryan Gosling will take to the stage to perform his existential bro-anthem “I’m Just Ken.” Gosling is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the blond blockbuster “Barbie.” Despite critical acclaim, the film’s director Greta Gerwig, and star, Margot Robbie were notably excluded from the Best Director and Best Actress categories — thereby proving the point of the movie they made.

Meryl Streep said “saved the movies” in 2023 – may have been snubbed in some of the major categories at the 2024 Academy Awards. (Shout-out to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig!)But there is no stopping that arch-footed doll in at least one category — Best Original Song — where Billie Eilish is the overwhelming favorite to win her second Oscar for her brooding ballad “What Was I Made For?”Only another “Barbie” ditty, “I’m Just Ken,” even stands a chance at an upset.Just like “No Time to Die” — Eilish’s Bond theme that took the song-penning prize in 2022 — the tune that hauntingly humanizes Barbie was co-written by the singer’s producer brother Finneas.
