Inside the real life pink Barbie mansion which fans can stay in for free
It's not long until Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling come to life as Barbie and Ken in the highly-anticipated Warner Bros movie and there's a special treat in store for fans.
To celebrate the film hitting the big screen, Airbnb has announced that a real life DreamHouse in Malibu will be available for people to stay in for free.
Fans can book two one-night stays for two guests on July 21 and July 22.
The stay will be free of charge "because Ken couldn't figure out how to put a price on Barbie's Malibu DreamHouse," according to the travel company.
A listing for the mansion says Barbie handed over her keys to Ken while she's away, with Ken adding a few touches to the iconic property.

The DreamHouse is located in Malibu, California, and is surrounded by beaches, offering "stunning and photogenic" views of the coastline.
CBS photojournalist and helicopter operator John Schreiber tweeted footage of the bright pink mansion, which he said he could see from 10 miles away.
"Is that a real life Barbie Malibu House? Seems to be, Pink everything, a waterslide, floating KEN letters..."
Those staying in the mansion will be able to "live it up Ken-style for a neon night in Barbie Land" and can explore his collection of cowboy items and rollerblades.
They will also be able to explore "Ken's awesome wardrobe to find their best beach fit."
Fans will even be able to "channel your inner cowboy" by learning to dance on an outdoor disco dance floor, or by performing a serenade with Ken's guitar.
