Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCeline Dion is getting her own Barbie doll, and Lola Cruz is at a toy store where the fans have already shown up.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing outside a toy store, and the line behind me bends around the corner and past a pretzel stand.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe doll is not on shelves yet, but fans have been told it will be sought near and far, and these people took that personally.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot on shelves yet.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentCorrect. I covered sieges with better planning. Ma'am, you've been here since when?
Darlene HutchcraftSince six Eastern today, honey. I brought a folding chair, a thermos, and a speaker that only plays her one song.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentAnd if the doll doesn't arrive today?
Darlene HutchcraftThen I'm here tomorrow. My heart will go on, and so will my parking ticket.
