US Weekly is reporting that the oldest three Kardashian daughters, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, are going to become actual Mattel figures and “friends” of Barbie. Of all the women they could have picked to befriend Barbie, what do the Kardashians have to offer? What are they going to do with Barbie, shop? Kim suggested as much.
Barbie, the ultimate career gal who loves to dress up, is teaming up with three new likeminded friends: Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian!
A source tells the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday, that the reality stars will be immortalized as Barbie’s pals in an upcoming limited-edition doll line. “The dolls will reflect the girls’ measurements and may even comes in Kardashian-designed outfits,” says a source.
Kim, 31, appears to already have struck up a friendship with the world’s most famous doll. “Merry Christmas Barbs!” she tweeted on Christmas. “I’m sure we’ll be seeing lots of each other [in 2012]. Shopping soon!”

Would you let your little girls play with Kardashian Barbies? Maybe if they had no clue who the Kardashians were and weren’t old enough to ask about them. In a way it’s a good idea to give Barbie some friends that have larger, arguably healthier features, even if they’re just as plastic and fake as the dolls themselves. You know they’re going to give Kim’s doll a big ass.
A lot of people on US’ site are decrying the use of the Kardashians as Mattel dolls and say that more worthy women should have been chosen. I googled “Celebrity Barbies” to see who they’ve featured in the past, and there’s an actual LeAnn Rimes Barbie that’s still available for sale for $19.95 on Amazon. She’s just about on par with the Kardashians, except that she can sing along with famewhore. Other celebrity Barbies include Hilary Duff, Diana Ross, Shakira, Cher, Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor and Beyonce. (Here’s a good slideshow of celebrity Barbies.) So while some of the celebrity Barbies are classic Hollywood legends, others aren’t as worthy.
In related Kardashian news, In Touch is reporting this week that Kim personally set up her friend Carla DiBello with a then very married Kobe Bryant. We previously heard that Bryant’s affair with DiBello was more recent and may have been the straw that prompted his wife to finally file for divorce. According to In Touch, [via Jezebel] “Carla was at Kim’s wedding, dripping with diamonds and bragging, ‘My boyfriend Kobe Bryant bought [the gems] for me.‘” What’s more offensive, the length of Kim’s marriage or the fact that she set up her bestie with a married man?
Kim and Khloe are shown at a Phoenix Suns Dallas Mavericks game in Texas on 1-4-12. Look at how bored Kim is when the camera isn’t on her. They’re also shown with Kourtney on 12-15-11. Credit: WENN.com
OMG I can’t wait. I’m gonna buy whole kolektion. It will be so much fun.
LOL
Will they come with a size 2 wardrobe, or a variety of sausage casings?
sausage casings and fat injections. Since the dolls are modeled after their “real” figures the Barbie company should make it as realistic as possible.
Well, the transformation is complete. They have officially become fame-whore robots with no soul.
This is just too much. I mean we all know that they are all fakes but come on in the name of everything that is holy can we just say NO to this? God, the last thing anyone should want is for their little one to emulate these despicable fame whores. Pee on me Kim after all has stolen everything from her sex tape to her little girl monotone voice from Paris Hilton so she can’t even be herself. Yuk who would ever stoop so low as to buy this junk is beyond me. This is simply shameful and I hope it is a bust.
Mattel should be ashamed of themselves. I was really hoping that the Kardashians would fade into obscurity for 2012 and now I don’t know if that will happen 🙁
The CEO of Mattel should be fired for this idea.
SIGN MATTEL PETITION NOW!!! Please go to this website to sign the petition! It is now live and active! Let’s tell Mattel that we expect better! We want better role models for our children! It is now live!

I agree with everything you have written.Thanks for the laugh 🙂 well done lol Ive always noticed her Paris “baby talk” thing too.. its creepy ..
Voodoo dolls?
Exactly what I was thinking! Wonder if it would work?
Nah. Voodoo requires an actual piece of the person’s hair or something like that. Since they’re in weaves and filled with plastic & injections, we’ll just have to dream.
Hey! Idea! Since they’re already plastic, couldn’t Mattel just auction them off to the highest bidder? (No more Kartrashians, no Kartrashian Barbies – it’s a win/win!)
Given how plastic and lifeless Kim currently is does this just mean they’ve perfected cloning?
Perfect match. Kim and Barbie have the same artificial hairline and their heads are hollow too.
lol!
That “Kim” version of Barbie will have some gigunda azzzz that little girls all over the world will want to emulate. Niiiiiice!
HA so glad you included pictures of the game last night. My husband was watching this game and he hollered at me from the other room, “WHO IS KIM KARDASHIAN DOING ON THE MAVERICKS!”
And i had to quickly explain that no one, she was merely there for moral support because Lamar got traded. He then spent the rest of the game deciding which player on the team she was going to go for and ruin their career.
Good news is most are married on the team. Dirk is white so he won’t do. But then again, I don’t think Kim cares for the sanctity of marriage so watch out Dallas
Mavs wives. When will they go away?
My real question is why is the Hilary Duff doll holding an Oscar?
YUCK.
P.I.M.P. Mama Kris probably worked this deal over in China when she was over there choosing a sweat shop for their sh!tty clothing line.
And y’all, I’m sure this is just part of the deal that she struck with satan when she sold him her and her children’s souls…what’s a pimp to do but keep hustlin, yo?
That makes me sick! I buy a lot of barbies for my kids. No way I’d ever buy basically what should be called “Porn Star Lardassian Barbie”. Shame on you Mattel!
I would boycott them Pizzazz…maybe only buy used or consigned ones from now on so Mattel doesn’t get anymore of your money…?? (is that gross?) Are there any other brands beside those slutty Bratz?
Why couldn’t they be Bratz dolls instead? They’re already dead ringers for them anyway.
NOW I’m pissed. This is just too far, how dare those skanks taint Barbie!! Has the arsonist in LA been caught yet? Maybe he can set their family car on fire with them in it.
Does the Kim doll come with a little urine hose?
HAHAHAH, +1
The dolls are gonna have big fat asses???
I am sure the measurements will be as artificial as Kim’s supposed size 2. The only one of them who is maybe a size 2 is Kourtney, and she is a tiny person and at least half the size of Kim.
Will their doll figures be pre-Spanx or post-Spanx?
This must be a sign of the apocalypse.
Those old fashioned blow up dolls might be more appropriate?
Well, If I had any kids I certainly wouldn’t buy those things. I don’t understand why mattel would stoop so low as to make kuntrashian dolls. What skanks
Is nothing sacred anymore?!?!?! Jesus, why don’t they go ruin some more of my childhood…like slinky or 90’s Nickelodeon programs.
Geh. On one hand, I would enjoy being able to get my little girl a Barbie doll that actually looked Armenian…but I think they will just issue the standard Barbie face with a “tan” and black hair. Did you see that “Beyonce” Barbie?
I don’t think Kim will enjoy being a Barbie doll. How will Ken pee on her? No genitals, remember?
hahahaha
i bet matel is freaking out hard that nobody likes these whores anymore! hahahaha
seriously who in hell would have bought one? I laugh at people who watch shows like theirs, talk about dumbing people down!
Size two dolls with zero IQ? Sounds about right.
Yes, the end is nigh in 2012. Between Linnocent’s “quiet night celebrating NYE with ‘friends’ and family” and Peaches’ pregnancy and the impending “birth” of baby BeyJay and Casey Anthony having a blog and now THIS?
Oh, are we in for it this year! And it’s only Jan 5th.
I think its a great idea. Barbie can get a break from being perky and perfect all the time. Now it’s Barbie slumming with the Kardashians girls. They can have great adventures together and Kim could get it on with Ken’s buddy Joaquin and they’ll get married and live happily ever after. – Seriously these girls are not doing anything wrong; not on drugs, drinking publicly, getting into fights or arrested, etc. They are doing what they can only do : they feed the media, in turn the media feeds them. Its supports their family, and honestly we ALL would do anything to to take care of ourselves and our family. – Even being a Kardashian Barbie..It’s gonna be funny. We’ll all enjoy one way or another.
Ugh. 🙄
I would love to have that Elizabeth Taylor Barbie!
so…. they’ll get gang-banged by Ken & GI-Joe, have their hair cut into terrible styles and eventually end up headless in the bottom of the toy box…..
To be fair, Mattel markets its collector series dolls to adult collectors, not children. Still a poor choice though.
Oh god!! Will it have her original face or the new one??? Will the ass be made out of lumpy play-doh?? Will it have a scratch and sniff vagina that smells like rotten fish?? Will there be any add on accesories? Like a variety pack of black men?
I find this hilarious! I can’t wait to see the butt on the Kim doll! I collect monsters. I’m adding these dolls to my collection!
Eww. Honestly, Mattel has gone too far. I won’t be buying Barbie for my daughter, even though they were my favorite toys growing up. They are just trying to cash in and don’t care about kids at all now.
The Barbie slideshow link you included was awesome. I about died laughing at the LeAnn Rimes one. It doesn’t look a thing like her! The 1970s Cher one though…spot on!
They would be more suitable as a variant of the ‘Bratz’ dolls. The range could be called ‘Slutz’.
How exiting xxxx
i always wondered what they mean by persisting they’re size 2. is that size 2 in elephant wear?
They had better be to scale – I don’t want to see Kim looking the same height as Khloe. I want to be able to laugh at how ridiculous her Barbie looks.
I think Kardashian will revolutionate the market and will be a very very nice doll ==) come on girls! do you really believe that she’s not pretty much?
I want one!!
