A star is born!
Since floating high above the ground at Sydney’s Olympic Games, Nikki Webster is living the life! Not only has she sung, danced, acted and looked glam in her pretty pink dress in front of the whole world, Hollywood have called her to star in a big blockbuster movie called Vanilla Gorilla and she has just released her first CD called We’ll Be One. She gets loads of fan mail from people of all ages and one of her biggest fans ever is a professional wrestler! Her new group of friends include Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton John and she has people asking for her autograph every day. Pretty good for a 13 year old, huh! Check out what she had to say about hittin’ the big time!

Nikki: No!
Barbie Mag: Do you have a boyfriend?

Barbie Mag: What was it like meeting Kylie?
Nikki: It was great fun. She was really nice. She gave me great advice about fame and just said to be nice, be myself and not change. We climbed the harbour bridge the other day. That was pretty cool.
Barbie Mag: So were you about to blow off when you sang high above the ground in the closing ceremony?

Barbie Mag: What’s your new film about?
