Mattel Creates Down Syndrome Barbie Doll: Raw Story says Mattel introduced a new Down Syndrome Barbie doll yesterday. The company worked with the National Down Syndrome Society to create the doll.
Mattell says; "Barbie plays an important role in a child's early experiences, and we are dedicated to doing our part to counter social stigma through play. Our goal is to enable all children to see themselves in Barbie, while also encouraging children to play with dolls who do not look like themselves.''
The National Down Syndrome Society says, "This Barbie serves as a reminder that we should never underestimate the power of representation. It is a huge step forward for inclusion and a moment that we are celebrating."
Miley Cyrus tells People magazine that Dolly Parton freaked out when she told her she wanted to be a brunette again. "She clutched her pearls when I told her.

Pink tells Variety magazine that her voice has changed a lot over the years. “I feel like I’ve found three voices in 43 years. My first voice was opera, because I used to sing ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and ‘Les Miz’ — things like that. Then my second voice was R&B-ish, but I sounded like Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks. But I was also smoking, and I was steadily getting raspier and raspier. And then I found this grown-up voice that I have and got two octaves back. My voice has never been stronger. But I don’t have that rasp anymore, and I miss that — I wish I could have kept a little bit of it."
Fortune Magazine says Ed Sheeran was in court yesterday answering questions about stealing parts of Marvin Gaye's song, “Let’s Get It On” for his 2014 hit “Thinking Out Loud.” ''If I had done what you accuse me of doing, I would be quite an idiot to stand on a stage in front of 20,000 people and do that.''
Taylor Swift tells Elle magazine that artists don't have to suffer to write good music.

I’m really grateful to have learned this isn’t true. Finding happiness and inspiration at the same time has been really cool."
The Weeknd tells Interview magazine that he wanted to work in a video store when he was younger. “Well, I wanted to work at a video store when I was younger. I was that guy. I would walk into one and it’s like, I don’t want to leave. This is my happy place. This is my future."

The International News says Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn allegedly broke up after discussing marriage. A source tells the website, “They’d talked about marriage.

Pat Sajak tells the NY Post that he plays an awful prank on his wife every year. “I do this … this thing I do every one of Lesly’s birthdays and she absolutely hates it. We put a cake in front of her, she closes her eyes, she makes a wish, and when she blows out the candle, I clutch my heart and fall to the ground. She never finds that amusing, I don’t understand.”
“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” director James Mangold tells Total Film magazine that he used technology to de-age Harrison Ford for a 25-minute scene in the film. He says Harrison pulled it off because he was able to pretend that he was 35 instead of 79. ''Ford is incredibly gifted and agile which made it easy to pretend that he was 35 when filming the scenes. We had hundreds of hours of footage of him in close-ups, in mediums, in wides, in every kind of lighting, night and day. I could shoot Harrison on a Monday as, you know, a 79-year-old playing a 35-year-old, and I could see dailies by Wednesday with his head already replaced.”

Dear Fonseca
My mother-in-law and I are feuding over how to discipline my four-year-old son. She wants me to place him in a timeout every time he does something wrong. Her timeouts involve having him stand in a corner while facing the wall. I told her that kind of timeout is humiliating and does nothing to teach my child right from wrong. She disagrees and says humiliation will teach him not to do it again. I disagree. Where do you stand on this? Are timeouts a good form of punishment?
