Found this on CNN's site. (And while they're at it, the article says,
they'll be giving her a less vacuous expression.)

NEW YORK (AP) -- Barbie has an appointment with the plastic surgeon for
a top-to-bottom makeover, and it may cost her some of her famous curves.

Mattel Inc. plans to give Barbie new, more realistic proportions and a
less made-up face, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
The doll's new look -- including a wider waist, slimmer hips and a
smaller bustline -- is to be officially unveiled at the toy industry's
annual trade fair in January.
