Barbie The Princess & the Popstar

Barbie: The Princess & The Popstar is an upcoming Barbie movie directed by Zeke Norton, which will be released in fall 2012. It is a magical adventure story of two girls, both played by Barbie, who trade places. One is a princess, the other a pop star. The movie is similar to Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper, as they are both based on The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, but this version is more modern. Both of the movies are musicals with the protagonist's genders switched. Tiffany Giardina will be performing a song on the soundtrack.

Early Plot
"Barbie takes on a big challenge in her new movie—she plays two roles! In one, she’s a princess who feels bored and stifled by her very regimented life. In the other, she’s a rock star who is weary of touring, press junkets, and performances. When the girls decide to switch roles, they get a taste of how the other lives. Filled with memorable songs, this is sure to be a hit with Barbie fans!"
