“Barbie” Movie Banned in Kuwait due to LGBTQ+ Content, Faces Censorship Throughout the Middle East

Barbie Movie Banned in Kuwait due to LGBTQ+ Content, Faces Censorship Throughout the Middle East

Of all the places that Barbie will partying in this summer, Kuwait will not be one of them. The country has officially banned the “Barbie” movie from playing in theaters in the country due to LGBTQ+ content, which is against the country’s traditional Muslim values.

This week, the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), published an official statement from the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Information for Press, Publishing, and Publications Affairs, which read that “(the committee) has banned the films (Barbie) and (Talk to Me) from showing,” stating that the intent of the ban was to “prevent anything that offends public morals or incites violations of public order, customs and traditions, and calls for ideas alien to society.”

Chairman of the Film Censorship Committee, LafiAl-Subaie, stated that the committee, before making its decision to authorize the showing of the film, “required the deletion of some obscene scenes, but if it carries ideas that encourage unacceptable behavior and a message that distorts the prevailing values of society, then a decision is taken to ban it completely,” explaining that “this applies to any film that includes a different vision of values.” It contradicts the vision of our society and our customs.”

The ban on the film “Talk to Me” is not due to LGBTQ+ content, but due to the presence of trans nonbinary actor Zoe Terakes, who has a major role in the film.

A censored version of the film, which has grossed more than $1 billion worldwide so far, was shown in several other Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. It is facing a possible ban in Lebanon as there has been a recent surge in anti-homosexual rhetoric amongst some of the country’s politically influential groups.

In 2019, Nicki Minaj (whose song “Barbie World” appears on the “Barbie” soundtrack) pulled out of a concert in Saudi Arabia in protest of the country’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

Islam, which prohibits homosexuality, is the official religion of Kuwait. Islam and the Islamic Sharia (Islamic law) are the main sources of the Kuwaiti Laws and Legislations. According to The Guardian, Kuwait is considered to be the most censorious film market in the Gulf, routinely banning movies featuring any references to LBGTQ+ people, including “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “Lightyear,” and “West Side Story.”

Issa Rae Serves Natural Body In Pink Ivy Park Bikini Amid “Barbie” Movie’s Massive Success

by

Issa Rae has come a long way from her Awkward Black Girl days. Her HBO series, Insecure, helped people fall in love with the multi-talent both on-screen and off. Now she’s continuing to flex her writing skills with her successful Rap Sh!t show. As we eagerly await the second season premiere of that next month, Issa’s fans have gotten their fix of her talent thanks to Barbie, which finally arrived in theatres on July 20. The 38-year-old appears alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the President of Barbieland. She previously admitted to taking notes on Vice President Kamala Harris’ behaviour for her role.

The highly anticipated movie’s press tour ended early due to the ongoing SAG strike. This allowed Issa to head back home and enjoy the summer sunshine. Like many of her castmates, she’s been wearing plenty of pink lately, with her most recent look coming from Beyonce’s Ivy Park collection. On Sunday (July 22), the Los Angeles native’s Instagram feed lit up with a new series of photos that show her sipping a drink by the pool in a brightly coloured, strappy bikini.

Lizzo Shares Her Love For ‘Pink’ In Her Jubilant Song From The ‘Barbie’ Movie Soundtrack

by

The Barbie movie is out today, yet the most exciting part for some might be the release of the soundtrack. From Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” to Charli XCX’s “Speed Drive,” the album is unmatched.

Lizzo’s “Pink” was a highly anticipated track that wasn’t shared as a single, along with songs by Sam Smith and Tame Impala. It has her typically buoyant, extravagant ambiance and her confident vocals: “In pink, goes with everything / Beautiful from head to toe / I’m read’ to go, you know, you know,” she sings. “It’s pink, good enough to drink / We like other colors / But pink just looks so good on us.”

Last month, Lizzo spoke about how Beyoncé has influenced her. “Today was one of those days where I was very angry, very angry at the world,” she said. “Saw a lot of mean sh*t about me on the internet, and I wanted to give up. There are days where the hate outweighs the love so badly that I want to quit music and just disappear. I definitely have enough money to go and buy a farm and just never f*ck with anybody ever again, because f*ck everybody. Then, I reminded myself to get up, get out, and get some sun, and I put on Renaissance.”

Billie Eilish Delivers Soul-Crushing “Barbie” Ballad With “What Was I Made For”

by

Billie Eilish is one of the biggest artists in the entire world right now. Although she isn’t exactly in the hip-hop lane, she still makes a huge impact on the music world as a while. Her debut album was a massive success, and her follow-up was also huge. Overall, she has tons of hits to her name, including a James Bond theme song. That in and of itself is massive, and it is enough to get fans excited for some of the other soundtrack songs she may produce.

Well, as it turns out, Billie Eilish is one of the many artists on the Barbie soundtrack. Of course, we already got a song from the likes of Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice. However, many have been waiting on this new Billie track. It was rumored that she would be dishing out a very emotional song. As it turns out, those predictions were 100 percent correct. “What Was I Made For” is officially here, and it is just as sad as advertised. In fact, it may just be a whole lot sadder.

Throughout the song, Billie Eilish sings from the prospective of what can only be described as a doll looking for a purpose. The piano keys are dark and extremely sad. Additionally, Billie’s vocals are emotionally driven with lyrics that can eat you apart if you’re not ready for them. When you think of the Barbie movie, you probably think of upbeat and uptempo music. However, this is not the case with “What Was I Made For.” You have to appreciate the change in tone.

Let us know what you think of this new track, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.

Quotable Lyrics:

When did it end? All the enjoyment
I’m sad again, don’t tell my boyfriend
It’s not what he’s made for
What was I made for?

Nicki Minaj Is Blown Away By The ‘Barbie’ Movie (And By How ‘Strikingly Gorgeous’ Margot Robbie Looks In Person)

Nicki Minaj doesn’t act in the Barbie movie, but she did get involved by teaming up with Ice Spice for soundtrack cut “Barbie World.” So, she popped up at this past weekend’s premiere event, and the experience left her stunned, both about the quality of the movie and about how good-looking star Margot Robbie is in person.

Yesterday (July 10), Minaj shared a GIF of her and Robbie from the premiere and tweeted, “She’s strikingly gorgeous in person. Btw, the entire cast of this movie nailed it. The film is so visually stimulating. The actors can actually act, & the comedic timing is actually on time. Bravo. I’ll see it again & give my final analysis around the 21st. Will Ferrell, I[heart emoji]U.”

In a red carpet interview with ET, she also said, “I’m so excited to be here and be a part of this entire moment, and I’m glad that they thought of me, because I’m excited just like everybody else is excited to see this movie. […] I know, I’ve been saying Barbie my whole career, and so this a very full-circle moment for me.”

In a recent interview, Robbie spoke about Minaj’s soundtrack contribution, saying, “I was like, ‘Greta [Gerwig], how are we going to incorporate this song? We can’t do a Barbie movie and not have a nod to Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl.’ It has to be in there.’ And [Greta] was like, ‘Don’t worry, we’re going to find a cool way to incorporate it.’ And then, when she was like, ‘Guess who’s going to do the remix of Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl’? Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice.’ I was like, ‘Together? Are you joking?!’ I just knew immediately that all my girlfriends were going to lose their minds.”

The pink carpet was the place to be for the ultimate Barbie party as the highly-anticipated movie made its world debut this weekend…and major celebrities were showing out.

Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie, America Ferrera, Ariana Greenblatt, Issa Rae, Greta Gerwig, Nicki Minaj, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Hari Nef, Alexandra Shipp, and more attended the premiere of Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ on Sunday in LA.

Celebrities rocked a variety of Barbie-inspired fits on the iconic pink carpet. Robbie, the film’s namesake star, donned a strapless Schiaparelli Haute Couture mermaid gown with velvet gloves, a look inspired by the 1961 “Solo in the Spotlight” edition of Barbie. Gosling, who plays Ken in the film, wore a pink Gucci suit and an E necklace, referencing his baby mama, Eva Mendes (who did not attend the event).

Issa Rae, who plays plays President Barbie in the movie, wore a bright pink full-length Marc Bouwe dress.

Nicki Minaj, whose song “Barbie World” (featuring Ice Spice and Aqua) appears on the “Barbie” soundtrack, wore a light blue Alaia outfit.

Celebrities also posed in front of a full-size Barbie house replica that was built for the event as well as a pink Barbie car.

The movie comes out in theaters on July 21.

Is Ice Spice In The New ‘Barbie’ Movie?

Ice Spice has been everywhere in 2023, including the Met Gala and MetLife Stadium with Taylor Swift to perform their “Karma” remix.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie is also everywhere in 2023, despite the fact its theatrical release isn’t until July 21. It was inevitable that Ice Spice and Barbie would collide in dominant ubiquity. Ice Spice teamed up with Nicki Minaj and Aqua for “Barbie World,” which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 last week.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the extent of Ice Spice’s involvement in Barbie. She is not a member of the expansive cast, but she has the respect of the film’s titular lead.

“I was like, ‘Greta, how are we going to incorporate this song? We can’t do a Barbie movie and not have a nod to Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl.’ It has to be in there,’” Margot Robbie told Rolling Stone for a feature published in late June. “And [Greta] was like, ‘Don’t worry, we’re going to find a cool way to incorporate it.’”

Robbie continued, “And then, when she was like, ‘Guess who’s going to do the remix of Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl’? Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice.’ I was like, ‘Together? Are you joking?!’ I just knew immediately that all my girlfriends were going to lose their minds.”
