So...Who Wants The Janet Jackson Barbie?!

Posted: 04 Dec 2010 03:11 PM PST

Janet Jackson now has her own Barbie. And it's just as fab as she is. Read on for the deets of Mattel's newest one-of-a-kind addition...

She's called Divinely Janet...and she's a fab Barbie replica of the real life diva. The designer of Mattel's new Barbie--inspired by Janet's "American Idol" performance--dished the details on the newest doll addition whose proceeds will go to Project Angel Food charity:

What’s a doll to do when she’s face-to-face with multi-Grammy award winning artist and actress Janet Jackson? Swoon! Inspired by the ultra-glam black gown she wore during her 2010 American Idol performance, I knew we had to recreate that look for her one of a kind doll. Mattel Designer Jackeline Gonzalez duplicated the black gown, including the body-hugging cat-suit underneath that she revealed during her second, upbeat performance. Her gown is kissed with bling created by countless hand-placed Swarovski crystals. Even her mic is crystal-studded.

Look closely dolls, Janet’s sassy, short hairstyle, unique face and body sculpt and face painting all meticulously duplicate the legendary singer’s features.

Divinely Janet includes a certificate of authenticity and a unique display case for your superstar collectible.

The proceeds for this item benefit Project Angel Food.

Sweet.

WEEKEND CANDIDS: Gabby Sidibe On The Set Of "Tower Heist" + Venus Williams At Art Basel 2010

Gabby Sidibe was spotted in NYC filming her new flick The Tower Heist Friday afternoon. And Venus Williams was spotted at Art Basel down in Miami. See the photos inside...

Gabby Sidibe continues to work as she filmed a scene for The Tower Heist on Manhattan’s West Side. The Brett Ratner comedy co-stars Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Alan Alda and Tea Leoni. More flicks from the set:

Ben will play a manager of an affluent high rise who leads a crew of disgruntled workers in a heist of its penthouse resident (Alan),who defrauded the staff of their pensions. Eddie will play a safe-cracker who joins the team.

From the looks of it, Gabby plays a maid. And she is not happy she lost her pension. This could be a funny one...

And in Miami, Venus Williams was seen at the Haiti Art Expo 2010 at the Mosaic Building for Art Basel in Miami yesterday:

Purple animal print. Do we like?

Interesting look for Venus.
