'American Idol' Barbie sings

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Barbie is partnering with the U.S. hit TV show "American Idol" on Fox for a new "American Idol" Barbie.

Not content with simply running for president as she did last year, Barbie has decided to go for a more hotly contested election -- the title of "American Idol," MTV.com reported.

Barbie is competing against her very best pals Simone and Tori for the doll version of "American Idol."

Barbie -- who doesn't need "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell to tell her being a pop star is all about image and clothes -- is outfitted in a denim micro-miniskirt, leg warmers and a hot pink tie-dye top. She has chosen Britney Spears' "Oops! ... I Did It Again" as her song.

Barbie's friend Simone, wearing a fringed skirt, feather boa and her "lucky wrist cuff," chose "Ladies Night" as her song, while Tori, wears pinstriped pants and patchwork blue top and belts out "What I Like About You."

Barbie and her friends will get their own "American Idol" show stage this spring, complete with a dressing room.
