Mattel, the maker of Barbie, confirmed its iconic dolls are getting a major makeover that include different colors, hairstyles, and body shapes, such as petite, tall and curvy. The announcement led to the trending topics, “#Barbie” and “#TheDollEvolves.”
Upon hearing the news, Patricia Heaton expressed, “I don’t have any girls but if I did I’d get them some of these @Barbie dolls! I might do it anyway! #TheDollEvolves.” Sir Mix-A-Lot, who referenced his biggest hit, tweeted, “Salute to Mattel for creating a curvy Barbie! Maybe some of you fellas will play with dolls now? LOL #babygotback.” And Kat Dennings felt, “About time, Curvy Barbie,” while Christian Siriano wrote, “What an iconic day for @Barbie! Excited to see all the new silhouettes & celebrate beauty for all! #TheDollEvolves.”
But not every celebrity was as supportive of new Barbie body types. Kirstie Alley asked, “Are we seriously going to imply that BARBIE needs to be taken seriously? Jeez bring back 1965 where BARBIE just looked like freak!” And Heather McDonald cracked, “Barbie is adding new body types like curvy & tall. What about flat assed with tiny ankles?” Gossip Cop will continue to add celebrity reactions to the new Barbie dolls.
