Barbie’s parent company, Mattel, has released the prototype of their new doll, called Red Carpet Glam Hilary Duff, modeled after the young actress. Their director of marketing explained their decision by saying: “Hilary is a great role model to girls. Not only is she a stylish entertainer, actor and fashion designer, but she also shows girls that there are no limits to what they can do.”

I just wonder if making contradictory remarks about her own virginity and having a Russian stalker (which is not her fault, but I couldn’t help myself and had to mention it here) are what young American girls should be doing. But hey, as long as the doll’s clothes can be taken off, its all good!
