I usually talk about all the various cell phones celebrities carry 24/7, but I have been neglecting one popular device - Bluetooth headsets! Fergie rocked one in her Big Girls Don't Cry music video, and now Eva Longoria Parker and Brooke Shields are said to have this Bluetooth earpiece (in black) by Plantronics. Set to make their debut this April, the "Discovery 925" feminine earpieces are comfortable, lightweight and much more sleeker than your average Bluetooth headset. The first three colors to be released will be black, gold and magenta, with nine more to follow, and they will be priced at $149 each. Also included is a stylish charging case for wireless on-the-go charging capabilities - fantabulous!

Lipstick Jungle Keeps It Old School With Flip Phones

I really enjoyed last night's premiere of Lipstick Jungle. Still, I was shocked that the show - which is about three powerful New York executives trying to balance their careers, families, and friendships - was so devoid of smartphones. I mean, the cell phones pale in comparison to the ones we've gotten used to seeing on The Hills and Gossip Girl. Where's the techie love ladies? Do business execs really use lime green flip phones? Maybe I'm too addicted to my CrackBerry to imagine professional life without one, but see for yourself.

Geek Out: Where Won't You Whip Out Your Laptop?

In the movie Motherhood, which opens today, Uma Thurman plays a multitasking stay-at-home mom trying to raise two kiddos and keep up her passion for writing. Her busy schedule of feedings, cleaning, meal making, and party planning means she has to sneak short moments of computer time in wherever she can. She blogs in 10-minute increments at her desk while baby plays, at the playground, and even in the stairwell of her building.

I'm not a mom, but I can relate to whipping out my laptop in usual places (you know, the car, the laundromat, the camping ground) in order to get work finished and stay connected. Where won't I blog or log on? The bathroom. Unlike Brooke Shields' character on Lipstick Jungle, the idea of bringing my Mac to the powder room makes me cringe. Where is your no-tech zone?
