A Sign of the Times: Divorce Scandal
Barbie and Ken Call It SplitsOne of America's most famous couples is calling it quits. Are you sitting down?
After 43 years together, Barbie and Ken — as in the dolls — have decided that breaking up is hard to do, but do it they must.
Since they're dolls — and famous — Barbie and Ken had no comment about their split at the International Toy Fair, where the bombshell was dropped. The announcement predictably came from their spokespeople during a news conference Thursday.
“This is an announcement we thought we’d never make,” said Barbie’s publicist, Ken Sunshine. “I will confirm that Ken and Barbie are going to go their separate ways.”
Sunshine, who also represents Hollywood stars such as Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, said Barbie is looking forward to spending time in her Dream house, and asked the press to "Please, please respect their privacy."

Oh, the humanity...the horror...how will marriage ever survive?Mark's Remarks
Uh...Matt? Are you OK?
Though I did hear that Barbie is seeing GI Joe, and that Ken was seen out and about with a Teletubby. They were overheard to be discussing the perils of not being anatomically correct.
