Margot Robbie divides Barbie fans for 'fining' film crew for not wearing pink
As the release date for the Barbie movie gets closer, we're learning all about the behind-the-scenes moments that enabled the cast to immerse themselves into the vibrant world of the iconic Mattel doll. Memories during filming include Margot Robbie hosting themed sleepovers for her fellow Barbie actresses, Simu Liu told PEOPLE for the new Barbie special issue. "Margot was so great. She had a sleepover with the Barbies before photography started, and the Kens were allowed to either visit briefly or to phone in and say hi," he said.

While Ryan Gosling revealed that Robbie enforced a mandatory pink dress code once a week, with those who didn't do this would donate to charity. “Margot had this pink day once a week, where everyone had to wear something pink. And if you didn’t, you were fined. She would go around collecting the fines, and she would donate it to a charity," the actor noted. However, this latter part has sparked a debate on Twitter with many expressing their anger at this rule which presumably applied to all of the crew. Though there were others who defended Robbie and her request for all clothes to be pink on set on certain days. While these details have only made some more fascinated with the movie and the behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

'I do not apologise for having an opinion': Ne-Yo revokes apology for gender identity comments
Ne-Yo has released a lengthy video 'taking back' his original 'apology' for making comments about children and gender identity. The singer had previously appeared in an interview where he branded the idea of there being more than two genders 'a weird time'. "I need y'all to hear this from the horse's mouth, not the publicist's computer", he said. "First and foremost, I did not apologise for having an opinion on this matter... My intention is never to offend anybody. However, I'm entitled to feel how I feel." He concluded: "I will never be okay with allowing a child to make a decision that detrimental to their life."

Margot Robbie's Barbie stunt double says she wasn't told what the movie was about
Margot Robbie's body double in Barbie says she had no idea what the hotly anticipated film was about. Barbie marks Emma Eastwood's first gig as a body double after she applied to be an extra but got turned down. She was then hired to be Robbie's hand double but later took on more prominent scenes in the film. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Eastwood candidly shared that she didn't quite know the concept of Barbie. "They did a very good job of keeping the plot hidden," Eastwood said, adding that she wasn't given "any details" about what they would be doing. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "There were a couple times they said the whole cast would be there and it would be an important day, but they never actually gave me any details of what we would be doing until I was on set," she continued. In one scene, Eastwood said she was required to lie on the ground for an hour. "When I got up, I literally felt drunk," she told the publication. "I have no idea what that scene was about." Another scene saw her walk up a flight of stairs as though her feet hurt. Eastwood finally lifted the lid on her recent endeavour in a Twitter post, where she told followers she can now publicly reveal she worked as Robbie's doube. "Had the best experience of my life and will absolutely never shut up about it," she wrote. Greta Gerwig's Barbie, featuring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell, Micheal Cera and Issa Rae, is set to hit cinemas on 21 July. Have your say in our news democracy.
