Barbie and Ken: It’s Over
2004-02-12
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; EFL
NEW YORK — One of America’s most famous couples is calling it quits. Are you sitting down? After 43 years together, Barbie and Ken — as in the dolls — have decided that breaking up is hard to do, but do it they must. Since they’re dolls — and famous — 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. “This is an announcement we thought we’d never make,” said Barbie’s publicist, Ken Sunshine. “I will confirm that Ken and Barbie are going to go their separate ways.” 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 twosome’s relationship might be over, but their troubles aren’t, especially when it comes to the settlement. They’ll be faced with the task of divvying up the hundreds of possessions they’ve 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 we’ll see Frontier Justice Barbie make an appearance.
