Dua Lipa’s Metallic Dress Is a Chic Nod to Her Mermaid Barbie Role: ‘All I Do Is Beach’

Ellise Shafer Disney+ U.K. has shared a flurry of unscripted announcements out of Edinburgh TV Festival, including a Dua Lipa-produced docuseries about the London neighborhood of Camden and a first look at Keanu Reeves’ Formula One show. Lipa will produce and appear in the upcoming documentary series “Camden,” directed by “Amy” helmer Asif Kapadia, which explores how some of music’s biggest stars were forever changed by the London borough.

In the Barbieverse, there’s lots of Barbies and lots of Kens, but only one Allan. And according to Michael Cera, who plays the sole male doll in “Barbie” who simply does not feel the Ken-ergy, he had to reach out to director Greta Gerwig personally to snag the singular role.

Barbie.The actor stars as Mattel’s discontinued doll in the satirical comedy, led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.Since the film’s release in cinemas last month, Cera’s awkward character Allan has become a fan-favourite. However, the Canadian actor has since explained how he came close to missing out on the role altogether, thanks to his manager.In a recent video interview with GQ, the Superbad star revealed that his casting was “very last-minute”.“My manager got a call checking on my availability for it, and he called me and he said, ‘I got a call about this movie, it’s the Barbie movie, Greta Gerwig’s directing it, and it’s filming in London for four months or something.

Halle Berry's daughter is taller than her! On Monday, the actress took to Instagram to share pics of her 57th birthday celebration with her boyfriend, Van Hunt, and her 15-year-old daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, whom she shares with her ex, Gabriel Aubry.The trio marked Berry's big day by going to the World of Barbie in Santa Monica, California, and took on-theme pictures while at the interactive experience. In the pics, Berry and her teenage daughter sport Barbie-pink dresses as they pose side-by-side.The shots, which were taken from behind, show Aubry towering over her actress mom and standing at the same height as Hunt, 53.«My mini me (but not so mini anymore) and my VanO took me to the World of Barbie for my B-day!» Berry captioned the photos.

“Barbie” may be a worldwide smash hit phenomenon that’s raked in more than $1 billion (and counting) at the box office, but not everyone is a fan.

Bill Maher took to Twitter (or X) on Monday to tell his followers that he had seen Barbie and promised a “review” to follow. On Tuesday, Maher delivered…sort of. His post reads less like a review than one of his biting closing soliloquies on Real Time.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Bill Maher is the latest man to claim that “Barbie” is “man-hating.” The television personality and political commentator took to social media to criticize the Warner Bros. comedy blockbuster, which cracked the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office in less than a month. “OK, ‘Barbie’: I was hoping it wouldn’t be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie – alas, it was all three,” Maher wrote.

The New York Times Style Magazine, Lipa engaged in a candid conversation that left fans with tantalizing hints about her upcoming musical project. While the Grammy-winning artist didn’t outright confirm the existence of a new album, her subtle response to a question about an impending release spoke volumes.

Dua Lipa has shared a further update on the release of her third album, which reportedly features Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker.The singer’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2020’s ‘Future Nostalgia’ has been teased for a few years. In March last year, she told Elton John that the record was “50 per cent done”, before walking the statement back in December.

Eva Mendes is channeling her inner Barbie. The 49-year-old actress shows off a quick tease of her dance moves in a new video on Instagram, set to Dua Lipa's infectious «Dance the Night» song from the official movie soundtrack.

By all accounts, Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” measured up to critical and commercial expectations, with the film currently sitting at #3 in 2023’s overall box office with $811 million. But will it hit a billion dollars, like star/producer Margot Robbie plugged it to studios? It still could, even if its numbers dropped hard this week.

Dua Lipa is facing another lawsuit over her 2020 track ‘Levitating’.The singer and Warner Music are being sued by producer Bosko Kante who claims he never granted the star permission to use his “talk box” recording in remixed versions.In a lawsuit filed in a federal court on Monday (July 31), Kante said he created a so-called talk box track for use in Lipa’s original version of the song, but that the creators of the track had no right to use it in subsequent remixes.According to Billboard, the producer’s lawyers, wrote: “Plaintiff made numerous attempts to resolve this matter short of litigation, but such efforts were unsuccessful, due to the defendants’ unwillingness to cooperate or accept responsibility for this blatant infringement of plaintiff’s copyrights.”After contributing talk box performances for Kanye West and Big Boi, Kante launched a company called ElectroSpit in 2014 to sell a proprietary digital version of the device.He claims that he was approached in 2014 by Stephen Kozmeniuk, one of producers of ‘Levitating’, about creating a talk box performance that would be incorporated into Lipa’s song.Kante says he later did so, and eventually reached an oral agreement that the track could be used in ‘Levitating’.But Kante argued that the deal expressly didn’t cover any further remixes beyond the original release meaning that Lipa and Warner Music didn’t have the right to use it on remixes by the likes of DaBaby and The Blessed Madonna.“All three remixes sampled and incorporated a greater amount of plaintiff’s work than that used in the original version,” Kante’s lawyers added.

in London over the past couple of weeks.I'm not quite sure what that means, but it might have something to do with recent trip to her homeland. Though she was born in London, Lipa grew up in the country of Kosovo, not far from her parents' native Albania.

Margot Robbie perfectly embodies the beloved titular doll in Greta Gerwig's movie. But the actress and executive producer went one step further during the film's promotional tour this summer, dressing in a new, Barbie-inspired look for each red carpet event!Robbie and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, collaborated on each iconic look, adding a thrilling new layer to the movie for lifelong fans of the legendary doll and her enviable fashions.There was this classic black custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown for 's Los Angeles premiere, which paid homage to «Solo in the Spotlight» Barbie from 1960 — even down to the red rose accent on the skirt, opera gloves and sheer handkerchief.For the European premiere in London, the pair paid tribute to iconic British designer Vivienne Westwood, with a couture gown modeled after 1990's «Enchanted Evening» Barbie.

movie was chock-full of Barbies and Kens — and even a Skipper, an Allan, and a Midge! However, one cameo fans may not have been expecting came during a climactic chase scene when Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie is trying to escape Mattel headquarters.Barbie stumbles upon an odd room somewhere in the bowels of the office building, and finds a woman, played by actress Rhea Perlman, seated at a table in a nostalgic-looking kitchen set.

I mean, I did read the script. And the script was incredible.

Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu, share an awkward moment while posing for pictures during the press run.
