Fail

Just because it's Halloween doesn't mean celebrities have to put their need for attention and free stuff on hold. Last night, many A- to C-listers gathered at the BlackBerry Bold launch party to pose with the phone in a variety of awkward positions, from the "I hate my life" to the "I'm trying too hard." We present to you the best of the best.

Take Notes

The Eva Longoria pregnancy rumors have been put to rest for the time being, thanks to a few E! trolls who spotted the Desperate Housewives actress smoking cigarettes last night at the BlackBerry Bold launch party. Oh, and sources say she was looking "super skinny," as opposed to the obese monster she has become as of late.

Seriously though, Eva has remained at relatively the same weight as she has during most of her time in the spotlight, so the lack of fat obviously does nothing to help squash the pregnancy rumors. So what does? We made up a list, after the jump. Feel free to add your own.

A Mess, Indeed

broken-iphone1.jpg

I've been hearing about the launch of the new iPhone for weeks now because my roommate seems to think this phone is the second coming of Xenu, so I feel slightly justified when I admit that this brought a smile to my face:

The launch of Apple Inc.'s much-anticipated new iPhone turned into an information-technology meltdown on Friday, as customers were unable to get their phones working.

Here's what happened: There was some sort of glitch with Apple's iTunes servers which kept the phones from being fully activated in the stores; instead, buyers — many of whom had camped out for hours just to be among the first to own the new phone — had to go home and perform the last step on their own computers. Sadly, the iTunes server wasn't available even from home, leaving the phones unusable.

Oh, and owners of the old model got screwed over, too: "A software update released for that phone on Friday morning required the phone to be reactivated through iTunes. 'It's a mess,' said freelance photographer Giovanni Cipriano, who updated his first-generation iPhone only to find it unusable."

I knew I loved my Blackberry for a reason, and it's not just because I play Brickbreaker like it's my job.

Toys

John Mayer got a new BlackBerry Bold 9000 before you. And then he blogged about it:

Hi. My name is John. I like cool stuff, early. Is that so wrong?
Isn't it funny how there are no more "geeks" in the world?
Remember the distinction?
Now everyone is a geek. So the word is dead.
Maybe that's where "douche" was born.
The human need to separate and demean.
Who knows.
At any rate,
It has blazing fast 3G and twice the screen resolution, and the fonts look like something out of the New York Times.
Which makes "WHERE R U" read as if it were an op/ed.

No, it doesn't. No font makes "WHERE R U" read like an op-ed. But maybe that's just the human need to separate reality and desire talking.

Needful Things

madgeelleus

Beautiful gym rat Madonna tells Elle magazine that she and husband Guy Ritchie sleep with their PDAs under their pillows, just like crazy people.

She said: "We lie right next to each other with our BlackBerrys under our pillows. It's not unromantic, it's practical.

"I'm sure loads of couples have their BlackBerrys in bed with them.

"I often wake up in the middle of the night and remember that I've forgotten something, so I jump up and make notes."

Critically important as they are, it's amazing Madge and Guy aren't worried about damaging the BlackBerrys when they cry themselves to sleep at night about what chores their lives have become.
