Though Margot Robbie’s delightful tributes to Barbie on the red carpet have become a fun staple this season, seeing a possible homage to Barbie on a presidential debate stage this year was definitely a surprise. During the final, pivotal primary debate on Jan. 10, five days before the Republican Iowa Caucus, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley sported a dress that could be described as blush pink topped off with pearls. That wasn’t an accident and she could just ride the Barbie wave all the way to the White House.
Here’s what I mean.
While I haven’t come across data indicating that Hillary Clinton’s famous pantsuits cost her the 2016 election, there is plenty of data confirming that men like women who epitomize traditional attractiveness and femininity, particularly women candidates. There’s no perfect formula for achieving this, but Haley’s campaign has been sending signals that...

Blue Kim became the third juror of “Big Brother 25” on Thursday after getting evicted 4-0. She would’ve been the second juror had she not won Veto last week. But that clutch win only delayed the inevitable. As the invisible Hoh in Week 11, Jag was allowed to play in Hoh and won for the second week in a row. He targeted Blue again, but told her she was just a pawn to take out America. Despite warnings the past few weeks from multiple people that Jag and Matt might be after her, Blue believed Jag and wasn’t told of her impending exit until minutes before the live show.
“The house was full of chaos,” Blue says in a pooled exit interview about the moments before the show (watch above). “Everybody was going to let me see Julie Chen in a workout outfit, which was disgraceful to me. I think...

Ever since Julie Chen announced a week ago that the popular Pressure Cooker competition from Big Brother Season 6 would make a comeback this week, fans have eagerly awaited its return.
At the close of Thursday's live eviction episode, the contestants buckled up for the competition.
Outgoing Head of Household, Felicia Cannon, was not eligible to compete.
By the 13-hour mark of the competition, America Lopez, Mecole "Meme" Hayes, and Cameron Hardin were still in the running to win.
It was a grueling night, and things took a turn when Mecole accidentally took her hand off the buzzer, taking the political consultant out of the game.
Cameron, who had been on the block the previous two weeks, declared that he wasn't letting go of the buzzer because he had to keep himself safe.
While deals are usually struck to end competitions, Lopez continued to hold on... until her hand slipped, meaning...

Ahead of Big Brother‘s return to CBS with season 25, Julie Chen Moonves is opening up to Et about who the network originally wanted as host and how much longer she sees herself working on the reality TV competition.
When asked if there’s anything the fans of the hit series — which sees a group of strangers forced to co-exist in a shared house while they are isolated from the outside world — don’t know, Moonves says that CBS wanted another daytime TV fixture to host. “I wasn’t the first choice to host. It was offered and turned down by Meredith Vieira,” she says of the former moderator for The View.
Although she doesn’t remember how she learned of this tidbit, Moonves says she eventually confirmed the rumor through her husband, former CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves. “I asked him. I said, ‘You know, I heard stories...
