Mattel is releasing a new She-Ra Barbie doll to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Masters of the Universe, but the toy company snubs the OG — Melendy Britt — who originally did the She-Ra vocals.
Did Mattel just want to escape paying some money or did they favor another one of the actors who has voiced She-Ra in recent years? Here’s more from Clownfish TV.
Universal Pictures’ new witchcraft movie Wicked has already stirred plenty of controversy owing to actress Cynthia Erivo complaining when a fan edited a promotional poster for the film. Erivo didn’t like the revised poster because it covered over her eyes, blurring Erivo’s identity, and thus, tweaking her bloated ego!
But now, a much bigger promotional snafu has emerged. Dolls produced by Mattel to promote the film come packaged in boxes that mistakenly list a pornographic website. That’s right. Instead of going to the Universal site to learn about the movie, children are directed to out-and-out, xxxx-rated porn!
The film, co-starring the singer Ariana Grande, is due for release next Friday, Nov. 22. It’s based on a 2003 Broadway musical, itself a reiteration of the many volumes surrounding The Wizard of Oz. The new take is rated PG, never mind the racy and obscene hubbub. Here’s more from Ryan Kinel on the RK Outpost.
