Whatever. They did cast Rosie O'Donnell as Betty in the Flintstones movie from 1994.

Which is stupid unless it's a parody film. Barbie might be criticized but it is what it is and pretending it isn't won't do any favors to society. Rosie O'Donnel isn't a good example, that was just bad casting while here they're going for a PR move.

I hate her too, but she's not THAT chubby. Like aside from her face she's alright.

Schumer reminds me of Miss Piggy. A "zero charisma" edition.

I agree, Schumer is like Miss Piggy but without the charisma. This is really bad casting even if it is a parody.

Wow, Sony really is desperate, aren't they... I guess there's worse ideas (emoji movie) but I'm really wondering how this is going to work.

They couldn't have gone with somebody like Abby Elliot? She would've been a much better choice, plus she deserves a better role to make up for that pi$$ poor excuse of a cameo she had in Michael Bay's Ninja Turtle reboot.

Chubby actresses in hollywood who either lost weight or still look smoking hot (regardless of race or sexual preference):

Sara Rue, America Ferrera, Kelly Osbourne (without the stupid purple hair and shaved sides), Kat Dennings, Adele, Jennifer Coolidge, Kirsty Allie, Ricki Lake (SOOO HOT), Christina Schmidt, Crystal Renn, Queen Latifah, Liv Tyler (she's size 14), Christina Hendricks, Christina Aguilera, Kate Dillon

Jessica Simpson even was sooooo hot at 9 months pregnant.


Worldwide? Here's some of my favorites: Tara Lynn, Justine Legault, Barbara Brickner, Ashley Graham

If your chubby or curvy, own it. Simply put.

Because it hasn't been said in a while:

No one cares about your boners.

That said, no living person is capable of having Barbie's proportions without undergoing surgery. Which isn't all that surprising, given her male sex toy origin.

Not bad.

Slighty off-topic but I always thought that Kirstie Alley's replacement for Lt. Saavik in the Star Trek movies was a better actress for the part. Alley always seemed like she was chewing scenery in Wrath of Khan.

After looking at this thread, I almost wish Disney would make a Toy Story spinoff starring their version of Barbie.

I've heard there are already Barbie CGI movies, and that they're actually pretty good. So if you're really jonesing for that kind of entertainment, it already exists.

Eeeeh, I'd do some googling first to see which Barbie movie is worth watching, there's a dime a dozen of them and a lot of them are pretty bad or just boring.

Barbie's Dreamhouse is a series on Netflix which is pretty funny, very self-aware without being condescending to the brand.

Barbie was directly inspired by merchandising for a German comic strip, and it's original demographic was adult men.
