Ryan Gosling Wears Sweet ‘E’ Necklace for Eva Mendes at ‘Barbie’ L.A. Premiere: Photos

Ken-ergy baby!When it comes to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, everyone knows the talented and handsome Ryan Gosling.Catapulted to fame as a child on the “Mickey Mouse Club,” the brilliant actor has had an extensive career that seems blessed by the stars. Having portrayed iconic characters in some of the most celebrated romantic movies and hits of the modern times, such as “the Notebook,” “La La Land” and most recently “the Gray Man,” Gosling, 41, is the gift that just keeps on giving. Soon to be debuting as Ken from the new “Barbie” film, he will continue to build—and evolve—his legacy.

Greta Gerwig’s much-anticipated “Barbie” movie — which opens in theaters on Friday — “Insecure” actress Issa Rae brings some black power to the iconic doll’s pink world as President Barbie.But it was another African-American woman, Louvenia “Kitty” Black Perkins, who designed the first black Barbie — released in 1980 in a box that touted “She’s black! She’s beautiful! She’s dynamite!”Rather than the long, straight blond tresses and pastel-colored fashions of the traditional white Barbie, the brown-skinned beauty rocked short, curly black hair and a glittering red dress complete with matching dangling earrings.“Everything Barbie [typically] was, I wanted to do the opposite,” Black Perkins, now 75 and based in Los Angeles, told The Post. “I knew exactly how black women wear their hair, how their clothes were different from … all of Barbie’s ball gowns.“Basically,” she continued, “I wanted my black Barbie doll to look more like me.” Although Mattel had introduced a black Christie doll as Barbie’s friend in 1968 — and Cara would follow her in the ’70s — this was the first time an African-American bore the name of the leading lady herself.Not relegated to being an “accessory to Barbie,” this was a main-character creation that Black Perkins made on her way to becoming chief designer of the fashion doll line in the mid-’80s.Coming 21 years after Barbie made her debut in 1959, it was a barrier-breaking move for Mattel as doll demand was changing.“The collectors are the ones that really made a difference because every convention that they had, they were looking for black dolls,” said Black Perkins.

“Trading Spaces” host Ty Pennington went “from the red carpet to the ICU” on the same day, he shared on Instagram Friday. The HGTV regular attended the “Barbie” premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday, flew to Denver, Colorado, to begin filming on Monday, and woke up at 4 a.m.

Angelique Jackson The pink carpet at the “Barbie” premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday night was riddled with self-proclaimed Barbie Girls, but there was only one run-in that could be described as “When Barbie Met Barbie.” Just minutes before the Greta Gerwig-directed movie debuted before a packed house in the Shrine Auditorium, “Barbie” lead Margot Robbie met the OG Barbie, rapper Nicki Minaj. It’s the latest in a line of meta moments in and around the WB film, with Robbie posing — in a custom Schiaparelli gown that paid homage to 1960’s “Solo in the Spotlight Barbie” — alongside Minaj, who has proclaimed herself a Barbie since the early days of her career. Minaj’s latest track “Barbie World” — a collab with Ice Spice that remixes Aqua’s 1997 hit “Barbie Girl” — serves as the film’s end title song.
