Barbie: Last News

Billie Eilish has recalled going through a “dark episode” before writing ‘What Was I Made For?’, her song for the Barbie soundtrack.The song was released back in July as part of the highly anticipated film’s official soundtrack, and has been nominated for Best Original Song at the 2024 Oscars alongside Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and more.Last night (January 4), the song won the Chairman’s Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival, and Eilish spoke of the difficulties she had before writing the song during her acceptance speech.“I would really like to say that this award and any recognition that this song gets, I just want to dedicate to anyone who experiences hopelessness, the feeling of existential dread and feeling like, what’s the point, why am I here and why am I doing this?” Eilish said.“I think we all feel like that occasionally, but I think if somebody like me, with the amount of privilege that I have and the incredible things that I get to do and be and how I have really not wanted to be here … sorry to be dark, damn, but I’ve spent a lot of time feeling that way.”She added: “I just want to say to anyone that feels that way, be patient with yourself and know that it is, I think, worth it all.Eilish went on to discuss how she “was in a dark episode and things didn’t make sense in life” when she was asked to write a song for Barbie. “I just didn’t understand what the point was and why you would keep going.

I’m Just Ken” from his summer blockbuster smash “Barbie” at the Academy Awards in March. “Well, I haven’t been invited,” Gosling, 43, stated during an interview with W Magazine. “But thanks for pointing that out.”“And I wasn’t thinking about it until now,” he jokingly added.

After the massive success of “Barbie” last year, Margot Robbie‘s career has reached unprecedented heights. And that means the actress-producer has more cache in Hollywood than ever.

Are there outstanding questions about the nature of James Gunn’s DC Studios and what characters are moving forward and which ones aren’t? It depends on who you ask.

As we head into Oscar season, one thing seems inevitable: while so many new contenders have officially entered the race just in November or December, “Poor Things,” “Maestro,” “The Holdovers,” “American Fiction,” and “Killers Of The Flower Moon,” the 2024 Oscars may be the first Academy Award season that boils down to two summer blockbuster movies: “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.” And yes, it’s funny to think of those two films as summer blockbusters in the traditional sense, given they’re not superhero movies or action franchises, but let’s face it, they are; one grossed over 1 billion dollars (Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie”), and one came super close to that exact figure (Christopher Nolan’s movie).

Margot Robbie’s Barbie exposed all of his “blond fragility” on the big screen in the summer blockbuster that brought the iconic Mattel doll to life, it’s “the man behind the tan” — as memorably Kenoughed by Ryan Gosling — who is having the last laugh in 2023.“I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)” — a new holiday rendition of his signature number in Greta Gerwig’s box-office smash — dropped from the hunky heavens on Wednesday.The Yuletide twist arrives just five days before Santa will be delivering Barbies and Kens to little girls and boys all around the (snow) globe.The “Kristmas” makeover of “I’m Just Ken” puts a sweeping, Phil Spector-esque spin on the song that was written by “Barbie” music supervisors Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. And the string-laden setting decks the ditty in seasonal splendor as Gosling ever-so-earnestly sings lines such as “Am I not hot when I’m in my feelings?”Clearly still hopelessly devoted to his dream doll — who leaves him behind for the real world at the end of the film — Gosling ends with, “Merry Kristmas, Barbie / Wherever you are.”The “I’m Just Ken” revamp comes ringing in with a video of the song featuring Ronson and Wyatt.

Ryan Gosling has revisited his iconic song for the Barbie soundtrack, and reimagined it as a Christmas classic.Shared today (December 20), the new release sees the actor – who took on the role of Ken in Greta Gerwig’s hit film – take his song ‘I’m Just Ken’, and re-record it in time for the festive season.Recorded alongside and produced by Mark Ronson, the new Christmas edition of the track is titled ‘I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)’, and also comes as part of a new ‘Ken’ EP – consisting of three new versions of the song.For the most part, the festive version remains loyal to the debut release, but now incorporates more of an epic approach to that of the original, complete with bells and an orchestra.What’s more, it also comes alongside a new music video set inside a heavily decorated recording studio. In the footage, Gosling is seen telling Ronson how he envisions the final product before they both come together to record it.

Greta Gerwig has admitted that she wasn’t allowed Barbie dolls as a child.According to the director, her mother was initially against the idea because it reinforced female stereotypes.She told Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs: “My mom wasn’t so into Barbie. Certain moms, they would be like: ‘I don’t know if this is a good example of womanhood,’ the body type and everything … she was less excited about that.“But I got hand-me-downs from girls in the neighbourhood where I was growing up and so I got a lot of pre-loved dolls.”She went on to say that her mother eventually bought her a doll one Christmas.Gerwig added: “Although my mom, I will give her credit, she did give me a doll, a proper doll, for Christmas, in a box.
