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

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.
