Just when you thought Valentine's Day was the year's most romantic day comes
this shocking news: Barbie announced her "separation" from Ken after 43 years together.
The couple plan to remain "good friends," although Hollywood gossip suggests the opposite.
According to the tabloids, Barbie is now seeing Australian surfer Blaine. Blaine seems more in touch with his feminine side than Ken — if that's even possible.
Barbie's business interests have suffered lately, with worldwide sales down 5% and U.S. sales down a shocking 25%. However, Ken will likely see even sharper declines. When asked by the BBC about the Barbie breakup, Ken's spokesman had no comment.
