After learning that expectant mother and catwalk maven Heidi Klum was recently honored with her own Barbie Doll as part of the brand’s Blonde Ambition Collection, Madge decided she wanted to be immortalized in plastic, too, The Globe’s Loosch Lips Column reports.
The Queen of Pop immediately rang up Mattel and pitched the idea of producing a Barbie Doll in her likeness, which would celebrate her contributions to music, spies say. Madonna was floored when the company politely said “thank, but no thanks” to idea of creating The Madonna Barbie.
Word is Mattel — who met controversy over their Black Canary Barbie in 2008 — feared the public backlash that could arise from consumers who frown on Madonna’s raunchy image. The sexualized “Holiday” singer has had several run-ins with the Catholic Church and more than few high-profile romantic entanglements over the course of her nearly 30 year career.
But this is one royal diss Madge won’t take lying down.
The Globe writes: “Since she’s used to getting what she wants, Madonna is now considering launching her own doll collection to rival Barbie.”

Madonna wants to take her four children; Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David Banda and Mercy, both 3; on a “life changing” trip to Auschwitz, the largest of Nazi Germany’s concentration camps and extermination camps established in Nazi German occupied Poland in the 1940s.

The Queen of Pop hopes to visit the camp with her family after her concert in Poland later this month and has already discussed the plans with close friend Rabbi Berg.
“It won’t be an easy trip but it is an ultimate life affirming experience, and one Madonna – because of her strong Kaballah beliefs – does not want to ignore,” an unidentified Madonna camp source whispered to The Mirror on Monday.
“She wants her children to appreciate how lucky they are and to learn about mistakes made in the past,” the source added.

Madonna will be releasing her third Greatest Hits Album, Celebration, on September 29 as her last swan song on the Warner Bros. Records roster.
