Barbie maker Mattel turned down Madonna’s idea of creating a Madonna Barbie to celebrate Madge’s great contribution to pop culture and music.
According to the source, the company’s polite “no thanks” infuriated Madonna especially if take into account that Victoria’s Secret pregnant angel Heidi Klum got her Barbie a little bit more than a month ago as a part of Mattel’s Blonde Ambition Collection.
The Globe reports the reason for turning down Madonna was her super sexualized image, controversial deeds and several run-ins with the Catholic Church. Mattel simply doesn’t want to be associated with all that.
The company has ruled out against the idea in case of a public backlash from consumers who disapprove of the star’s sexy image,” sources in the company said.
Knowing how persistent Madonna can be when something falls in the scope of her interest (remember the Mercy adoption case?) Mattel’s refusal will simply trigger Material Girl to get what she wants.
Madonna is now thinking about launching her own doll collection to rival Barbie,” the source quoted the insider as saying.
Don’t mess with the Queen of Pop, bitches!
