Regular PopWatch readers might already know I’m a huge fan of "Legend of a Cowgirl" singer Imani Coppola, and that I spend a little too much time playing with dolls. So needless to say, I’m more than a little obsessed with "Black Barbie," the cheeky new video from Coppola’s group Little Jackie, whose debut album The Stoop hits stores June 10.
"Black Barbie" is a hilarious indictment of America’s current celebu-skank fixation, with Coppola cooing, "I don’t need a lawyer/ I’ve got Diane Sawyer/ She’ll interview me/ And prove that I’m not guilty/ I’m a reformed slut, I’m a much better woman/ Did a 12-step program, and now I can drink again." And the images of a child’s toy gone wrong — filming a night-vision sex-tape, getting caught shoplifting on a store security cam, autographing her mug shot — complement the song perfectly. (Hmmm. I wonder if Black Barbie might want to be a guest judge on America’s Next Top Doll?)
What do you think? Does "Black Barbie" deserve to become the next great Internet sensation? Or is the clip’s sub-3,000 YouTube views indicative of its merits?

Well, that’s one way to start your Monday. Go, Black Barbie!
No, “agree,” you did NOT see her profile on that site. You also didn’t see Charlton Heston’s. And yes, I know you’re not a real person, but I am so sick of your postings about your stupid websites that I could scream. Do those spambots even generate traffic? I can’t imagine that they do.
Let’s be real, that was funny, but only a WHITE BARBIE could get away with what she did in the song. a BLACK ONE would have ended her career with just one of those events… LOL.
Brillant. And chances are Black Barbie has an IQ far superior than that of our fave tabloid train wrecks.
“brains by Matel” indeed.
You should watch Katy Perry’s-Ur so gay video…more barbies (and kens!) acting out the song. Really awesome. =]
It is super good, and so dead on about the celebs it is spoofing, I love barbie too…But not as good as Americas Next Top Doll…
