Its Splitsville for Barbie and Ken

Sad but true. Breaking news from Toy Fair--Barbie and Ken have broken up! After 43 years of dating, its all over for the prince and princess of plastic.

According to reporters on the scene, there isn't another man or woman to blame....yet. Word has it that Barbie has her eye on Blaine, a new Mattel doll from Australia. Ken isn't reported to have another girl in his life, and it looks like slim pickings with the popular fashion dolls Tyler, Alex, Gene and Sydney all being 4 inches taller than he is. It would be just awful if he had to date a Bratz doll, and he's never shown an affinity for Midge.
