Beanie Babies maker Ty has launched two new dolls for their TyGirlz Collection—”Sweet Sasha” and “Marvelous Malia.” Sound familiar?It should, given that Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, are our nation’s new first daughters and they are both, well, sweet and marvelous.They’re such adorable girls. How can we resist?” Ty spokeswoman Tania Lundeen told the Chicago Sun-Times. But Lundeen also insists the $10 dolls are not replicas of the Obama girls.

No word on how President Barack Obama or first lady Michelle Obama feel about their girls getting all dolled-up.

“We certainly hope they like them,” Lundeen says.

We do, too, but we’re a little concerned with the company the plush Sasha and Malia are keeping. The TyGirlz Collection also includes Bubbly Britney, Lucky Lindsay and Precious Paris.

Hayden Panettiere was kicked out of a New York State nightclub last month, and she then called the cops when bouncers refused to return her license!

The Heroes starlet was at a 21+ venue when the security staff spotted her and questioned her. When they learned she was only 19, they escorted her out of the club.

But TMZ says that Hayden was furious when the bouncer refused to return her identification and called police. They arrived on the scene and got her card back!

Moviemaker Chris Weitz has promised to stay true to the original story while shooting the sequel to hit vampire film Twilight – because he doesn’t want to enrage loyal fans.

The director was taken on to helm New Moon, the follow up to the bloodsucking blockbuster, in place of Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke.

And Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the Twilight series of books, insists there is no need for fans to turn on Weitz with “torches and pitchforks” because he will not be changing the plot.

Writing on her official website, she tells fans: “I’ve had the chance to talk to Chris, and I can tell you that he is excited by the story and eager to keep the movie as close to the book as possible.

“He is also very aware of you, the fans, and wants to keep you all extremely happy. (Torches and pitchforks are not going to be necessary).”

She adds: “I’m excited to work with Chris and I think he brings a lot to the table… I’m really looking forward to seeing his vision for New Moon.”

And Weitz confirms his intentions: “I will devote myself to making the very best and most faithful version of New Moon that can be brought to the screen.”
