  "account": "Celine Dion's new collectible Barbie doll has arrived, but fans are divided over her appearance. The doll replicates Dion's iconic blue dress from the 1998 Academy Awards, where she performed \"My Heart Will Go On\" from Titanic. Complementing the outfit are a necklace inspired by the Heart of the Ocean diamond, updo, silver earrings, and black heels. Mattel describes the doll as \"limited and legendary.\"\n\nDion expressed her excitement, calling it \"a true honour to join the Barbie legacy\" and hoping it inspires others to pursue their dreams and believe in their own voice. However, not all fans are thrilled with the doll's likeness. Some have criticized its failure to accurately capture Dion's features, comparing it unfavorably to the real singer. Others felt misled, mistaking the doll for reality TV star Lisa Rinna.\n\nThe Barbie, measuring around 30cm, includes a necklace, heels, a stand, and a certificate of authenticity and is priced at £69.99 in the UK. Mattel encouraged fans to purchase the doll promptly, emphasizing its limited availability. Despite mixed opinions on its appearance, the doll is expected to be a sought-after addition to many collectors' shelves.",
