Barbie and Ken splitting up after 43-year romance

Just like J. Lo and Ben, the romance is over for Barbie and Ken.

After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple's "business manager," Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time - apart."

"Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end," said Arons, who quickly added that the duo "will remain friends."

Arons denied there was any truth to rumors that the breakup was linked to the Cali (as in California) Girl Barbie, which is arriving in stores. To better reflect her single status, Cali Barbie will wear board shorts, a bikini top and metal hoop earrings and have a deeper tan.

This new style already has attracted a new admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder.

Barbie met Ken on the set of a TV commercial in 1961, and they had been inseparable ever since.

Arons hinted Wednesday that the separation may be partially because of Ken's reluctance to get married.

Personally I plan to buy the divorced Barbie. I hear she comes with Ken's car, Ken's toys, and Ken's money.

Plus, I understand she's still a virgin, since Ken's got no gentalia. (oh=oh, neither does she!)

With a name like Blaine, it sounds like he's just using Barbie to get at her friend Ken.

Proving once again that relationships cannot survive without sex. No genetalia, no relationship.
