HILARY DUFF, JOEL MADDEN AND THE BARBIE DOLL

It just leaked out that Hilary Duff’s lookalike Barbie Doll played a big part in her bustup with Joel Madden! Back when Hilary was working closely with the Barbie people to develop the doll, the issue of how important her good-girl image is came up. Hilary was reminded that she must be a good role model for all those little girls buying dolls. Certain people worried about her boyfriend Joel’s rockstar-punk image. Family and friends expressed THEIR concern over Joel’s future – and questioned whether he just riding on successful Hilary’s coattails. It got Hilary to thinking. She really wasn’t happy with her relationship. Finally the Barbie makers brought up the subject of making a ‘boyfriend” doll for Hilary’s doll – like Ken is to Barbie. But they realized they couldn’t make a tattooed pierced rocker doll of Joel, so they dropped the idea. Not long after that, Hilary dropped Joel.

   I’ve seen the doll at Target and it is buggly…..Don’t know why she would have signed off on a doll that looks nothing like her. The clothes are cute but the doll itself is not.

   They were an odd couple but he was a little too old for her. He was her first love so she’ll have a hard time letting go of him. No wonder she hates Nicole.

   I don’t think the doll is to blame for their breakup. Obviously there were other issues and she’s too young to settle down anyway. What are they going to do, make new boyfriend dolls every time she breaks up with another guy?
