What, no lobster mask?
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Celebrity Mac Chick, Slow News Day
Lady Gaga, or someone else with a horrible taste in fashion, stopped by Apple’s Cupertino headquarters today for a tour. I’m not sure whether or not it is a slight or a sign of respect that she didn’t show up in fishnets and a lobster mask, but I swear she walked out of there with 3 iPads hidden in her ‘fro.
FYI, if anyone wants to know what I’ll be dressing as for Halloween, I suddenly had a great idea for a Blonde Elvira in a garbage bag. Not sure why, but if you see me, I like Kit-Kats.

Apple’s most successful Hollywood product placements
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick, video
Speaking of beautiful celebrity Mac Chicks, I used to follow Alyssa Milano on Twitter, not only because she is still remarkably hot, but she is one of the true celebrity geek girls out there, as well as a die hard Mac Chick. However, being a celebrity apparently comes with a LOT of free time, and her near constant Tweets just kept me from focusing on my truly important ones, like the Big Ben Clock. So I reluctantly unfollowed her. But as Faithful Macenstein reader (and Alyssa follower) Xyber Druid recently reminded me, Alyssa often DOES share some pretty good Apple info.
Take her recent find of a Geek.com article on Apple’s Hollywood product placement. According to the article, for the past two years Apple managed to sneak its gear into nearly HALF of the top grossing movies. That’s not too shabby given Apple’s marketshare in the real world isn’t 1/5th as large.
Of course the fan boy in me likes to think that the reason those movies were so successful in the first place is that they had Apple gear in them. I mean, who’s going to pay $15 (plus popcorn) to see an HP? Anyway, check out this clip from The Awl of some of Apple’s most successful Hollywood product placements over the years, and to Alyssa, if you’re reading, I promise to follow you again if you agree to a short interview and a few nice pics of you with your Apple gear. Those are my demands.

Steve Jobs could totally bang Jolene Blalock

If you’re a fan of Star Trek, odds are you know of the super hot Jolene Blalock – you know, the girl so hot she wasn’t just hot for a Star Trek chick (like Jeri Ryan) she was hot for a TV chick in general, which is saying something. Well, faithful Macenstein reader Dan sent us this clip of Jolene being interview on G4’s Attack of the Show, and not only describing herself as a geek, but a Steve Jobs-loving, AT&T-bashing Mac Chick to boot!
Miss District of Columbia hearts her iPhone
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick, iPhone
OK, sure it isn’t a “real” state, but as anyone who’s ever been mugged there knows, Washington DC is somehow able to cram a state’s worth of criminals and homeless into its 61.4 square miles, making it feel roughly as large as Delaware. And as such, DC has achieved the dream long held by American Samoa, Guam and Minor US Outlying Islands – it gets to send a chick to the Miss USA pageant.
Now, as most of you know, I have every Miss USA pageant since 1984 on tape, but for me, Miss District of Columbia 2009, Jen Corey, really stands out. Why? Well, take a look at what she chose to talk about in her video profile.
Now, I have no idea whether the makers of “Fake Caller” slipped Jen a couple of bucks to plug their app or not, but given that I’m pretty sure I was the only one watching Miss USA this year, it might have been cheaper for them to just send me an e-mail about it.
Motorola pulls a Seinfeld with its new Megan Fox ad campaign
Not since the bizarre casting of infamous Mac-head Jerry Seinfeld as Microsoft’s pitchman has there been such a “What the F?” advertising moment as seeing Megan Fox appear in Motorola’s new Devour Super Bowl commercial.
As anyone who’s ever stalked Megan knows, she’s a die-hard iPhone user. It will be interesting to see if she has to start walking around with the Devour as part of her contract, or if she only sold her body, not her soul.
Celebrity Mac Chick sighting: Ali Larter
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick
Ali Larter, the woman so hot she has kept me watching Heroes despite the show’s writers, owns an iPhone, which somehow makes her even hotter, which in turn means I guess I have to sign on for next season too.

You know you’re wearing tight pants when…
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick, iPhone
There’s something kind of bizarre about this picture. No, it’s not that Megan Fox is still with Brian Austin Green, it’s that she carries her iPhone in her armpit. I guess it wouldn’t fit in any of those pockets (not that anything would) – although I’m sure my hand could…
I don’t know, it’s not like she’s carrying a stack of boxes, she clearly has a free hand… And for the record, if you care, Brian Austin Green also apparently has an iPhone, but carries it like a normal person.

Celebrity Mac Chick sighting revisited: Miley Cyrus
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick
Having already established she owned an iPhone, if you had asked me whether Miley Cyrus owned a Mac, I would have said “Probably”. But if you had asked me if she had it covered in stickers, I would have said “definitely“.
God, do I know my teenage billionaire girls, or what?
Celebrity Mac Chick Sighting re-re-revisited: Blake Lively
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Celebrity Mac Chick
We’ve seen Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively a bunch of times before walking around town with her iPhone, but I thought this pic was particularly exciting because blake is apparently using the same iPhone case as me – an orange iFrogz luxe.
I finally have my ice breaker.
