GeekSugar — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:45:18 PST

Dr. Dre has already teamed up with HP to bring us the sweet-sounding HP Envy 15 bundle (which comes complete with his Geek-tested and approved Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, and HP Beats Audio software), but now he's lending his face to the campaign for a series of commercials that highlight what HP computers can do.

And to top off her big week in tech, our favorite pop star Lady Gaga stars in a new ad from Monster to promote her Heartbeats by Lady Gaga earphones. Check out both ads (spoiler - they're both pretty great) when you

Lady Gaga For Polaroid? Ooh La La!

GeekSugar — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:50:22 PST

As if I needed another reason to talk about Lady Gaga, it turns out she's planning to become quite the regular in the tech scene. In addition to last year's collaboration with Beats by Dr. Dre to produce the in-ear headphones seen in her "Bad Romance" video, she's the newest creative director for Polaroid! The film and camera company just announced she'll be serving as creative director for a specialty line of Polaroid Imaging products. She'll be speaking on behalf of the company at CES on Thursday morning. "Lifestyle, music, art, fashion: I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer, and to as my father puts it - finally, have a real job," she said in a press release.

Speaking of Beats by Dr. Dre, Billboard magazine is reporting that Lady Gaga will also be making an announcement related to the line of headphones. A new design, perhaps? While spokespeople for the trade show say she's not scheduled to perform, I'm hoping that she characteristically surprises us with a performance!

So the Christmas holiday has passed, and you're basking in the glow of your new tech toys. Or are you?

When he's not perfecting his rumba or two step moves on Dancing With the Stars with partner Chelsie Hightower, professional snowboarder Louie Vito can be spotted with his high-class headphones - the Beats by Dr. Dre - which offer amazing audio clarity and extra large speaker drivers for exceptional deep bass. A pair will cost you $300, although you can pick up the in-ear Beats by Dr. Dre for only $150. For those hefty prices, you better use them for more than just a stylish neck accessory!

Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones by Lady Gaga

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:43:23 PDT

Singer and songwriter Lady Gaga - the queen of constant transformation with all of her outrageous outfits and intricate head accessories - has teamed up with Monster to debut her first pair of earphones.

Labeled "heartbeats," these in-ear headphones were designed by Lady Gaga herself and are said to be like no other headphones out there (not hard to believe, especially since they have her name attached to them!). And if the sound quality is anything comparable to the high-class Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, you're guaranteed to get your money's worth. They also feature ControlTalk functionality so you can listen to your music and easily answer a phone call while on the go.

These headphones will be hitting store shelves this October, although you can pre-order a pair in black, red, and bright chrome from Best Buy for $100.

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:00:17 PDT

If you've always wanted to rock out like one of the most respected rappers in the music industry, then feast your eyes on these beauties - the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. Set to make their debut this Friday, and retailing for $350 (I know, totally pricey, but hear me out before you get turned off), the Beats headphones are like what a Bentley is to cars - luxurious, high quality, and worth every penny.

Dr. Dre has teamed up with Monster to create headphones that offer deep bass, clarity and a high definition listening experience. With isolation technology, plush breathable cushions for your ears, and an included Monster iSoniTalk cable with a built-in answer button and mic for the iPhone, as I said, worth the dough-re-mi.

You'll notice in the pics below that the headphones come wrapped and packed in total perfection.

The Beats by Dr. Dre will be available at Apple and Best Buy stores. You can also get them online via these retailers as well.

Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling Crank Up Their Chemistry in Oz

Katie Henry — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 10:27:28 PDT

Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling, in a sexy red jumper, joined director Scott Hicks at the Adelaide premiere of The Lucky One today. Zac's been all over Australia in recent days with stops in Sydney and Melbourne. He fit in a round of golf on Easter and lounged shirtless on the balcony of his hotel prior to kicking off his tour of Oz. Golf is one of the many activities that keep Zac's body in top shape, and he's showing off the results of his strict fitness routine on the May cover of Men's Health.

The cast is returning to the States this weekend as their promotional tour continues with a stop at California's Camp Pendleton on Sunday. They'll screen the Nicholas Sparks film for troops, then return to LA for Monday's big US premiere. Zac's busy schedule may not allow him to make a trek to Coachella this year. In addition to Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Alexander Skarsgard, he's among the long list of Hollywood stars who love Coachella. The festival, which starts today, will continue next weekend, so there's a chance he can catch Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and other major acts performing in Palm Desert at some point.
