Mattel, Inc,  which is the company that makes Barbie and Ken dolls, has launched a digital marketing campaign to reunite the two famous dolls.  If you were not aware, in 2004, on Valentine’s day, Ken and Barbie split up, and have been separated ever since.

What Mattel has done is create kenandbarbie.com where you can go and vote on whether Barbie should take back Ken.  Since the split in 2004, Ken and Barbie had let separate lives, but now Ken wants Barbie back.  So the digital marketing and social media campaign has begun.

Ken and Barbie first met in 1961, and had been dating throughout the decades until 2004 when they decided to split up.  Ken started to date Blaine, who was an Aussie surfer.  Apparently Ken’s true love is Barbie, and now you can decide!

Mattel has created Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare accounts for both Ken and Barbie.  Barbie has nearly 1.9 million likes on Facebook, while Ken only has 30,000 likes.  Clearly, the world has a love affair with Barbie.

I think that Mattel has an interesting concept using digital and social media marketing techniques.  This can definitely go viral as Mattel has the money to invest to spread the word.  We all know that it only takes a small percentage of users to become aware of something to start spreading it to their friends which then goes viral.

So, How are people voting?

WHY GOD SENDS RAIN TO LATIN AMERICA AND NOT THE MIDDLE EAST

Isabelle Caro, a French actress and model whose anorexic image appeared in a shocking Italian ad campaign, has died at the very young age of 28. Sheila MacVicar reports from CBSNews. The other video below is NOT meant to be “thinspirational”, it’s a very serious video about eating disorders.

After the recently concluded Victoria’s Secret fashion show a lot of people are going crazy searching for images of Adriana Lima – the Brazilian model who wore the $2-million “Fantasy Bra” covered in diamonds! She’s also the spokesmodel for Maybelline cosmetics from 2003 to 2009. This image gallery is tribute to one of the sexiest and hottest models of our time.

Christmas is a few weeks early for followers of Rovio’s widely popular ‘Angry Birds’ gaming app.

The rumored ‘Angry Birds’ holiday version, now officially branded as ‘Angry Birds Seasons,’ is now available from iTunes and the Android Marketplace.

“[The brand-new version] is composed of 25 daily surprises for fans of ‘Angry Birds’ to enjoy while counting down the days until Christmas,” Rovio representatives shared with PCMag.

Even though the Android mobile phone version of ‘Angry Birds Seasons’ is offered totally free of charge, the iTunes release will cost you $0.99 and comes with the app’s predecessor, ‘Angry Birds Halloween.’ According to PCMag, “Users who ordered the iPhone Halloween edition for $0.99 will receive a totally free upgrade to ‘Angry Birds Seasons.’” A High definition edition of the game is also offered by iTunes for $1.99.

American Idol contestant Lee Dewyze once again delivered an outstanding performance. I’m a big Bowersox supporter and I still believe she’s the one to win. However, I can’t help but admire Lee’s rendition of a classic Leonard Cohen. Below is a Lee Dewyze Hallelujah Video in case you missed it last night or if you simply want to watch it again and again and again

Ellen says that the performance was simply “amazing.” Address Randy as the moment “the greatest Dewyze for me.” Kara assures me Dweyze “What is this presentation is everything” and “the heart of this season.” As expected, Simon Cowell was extremely satisfied with the chosen because it pays tribute to his favorite candidate.

That was the moment! That was incredible, beautiful, amazing… wow! Kara DioGuardi said that was an incredible, epic moment and Lee is the heart of the show this season, proclaiming he owned the night and the Idol stage. I think Lee really felt it and just made the song his own. We love him!

The 24-year old painter from Illinois also performed another great song “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynryd right before his video.

Crystal Bowersox got so-so reviews from her first performance “Come Through My Window” but her brilliance is simply unstoppable as she performed Ellen’s choice, “Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul McCartney.
