■ BRACE yourself for Barbie

— the movie is coming this summer and a recent test screening met with rapt praise. The film starts in Barbieland, populated by hundreds of Kens and Barbies. Margot Robbie’s Barbie (left) is expelled after daring to find fault with its emphasis on physical perfection and sets out, with her Ken, Ryan Gosling, into the real world in pursuit of happiness.

Robbie could certainly do with a hit after consecutive highprofile disappointments in Amsterdam and Babylon.
