Even though octomom Nadya Suleman was caught not abiding by California's hands free cell phone law - where you must use a hands-free device to talk on your cell phone while driving - there are plenty of Hollywood folk who do rock the Bluetooth earpieces and headsets to be good citizens. The question is, can they make even that look good? You'll have to decide for yourself.

GeekSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:01:28 -0700

Eva Mendes is turning into quite the tech-aware star; not only did she shill the importance of recycling cell phones with Scarlett Johansson, she is also aware of California's Hands-Free Law, wearing her headset with a microphone before she even gets in the car. Snaps, Eva!

Her headset doesn't look like anything fancy - methinks it's a standard BlackBerry one that came with her Pearl. Very no-nonsense.

Looks like she sees benefits besides safety, too - with her hands not holding her phone to her ear, she can lug around magazines with her face on them!

Via their upcoming film The Spirit, stars Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes have teamed up with the Environmental Media Association to promote the importance of cell phone recycling to reduce CO2 emissions.

The spots start running today on the Answer the Call website, with the ladies in character as Sand Saref and Silken Floss, respectively. I was already a big proponent of cell phone recycling, but glamming it up with two of the hottest celebrities ever? Irresistible.

Oops! Nadya Suleman Breaks the Hands Free Cell Phone Law

One would think, especially with so many children, Nadya Suleman would be a safety pro and abide by California law by using a Bluetooth device or a hands free cell phone earpiece while operating a motor vehicle.

Sadly, this wasn't the case when the famous mother of fourteen was caught yesterday gabbing on her cell phone while driving by police. The Hands Free Law - which kicked into effect last July - is intended to make drivers more aware while driving - and therefore decreasing traffic accidents. With fun iPhone apps and hands free earpiece devices like the one Eva Mendes uses, there really aren't any excuses.

Now onto something more entertaining, a recent funny clip from Desperate Housewives when Susan had a similar Nadya incident. To watch just read more.

When I think of Polaroid, I think of Polaroid cameras, which at this point have a vintage geek following, but the company is doing its darndest to promote their other products and has jumped on the celebrity beach house bandwagon.

The company has created a lavish $30 million dollar beachfront estate where celebrities and VIPs can enjoy tech toys, private dinner parties, exclusive events, BBQs, clambakes, and beachside activities.

Like the LG Beachhouse, the Polaroid Beach house is located on "the most exclusive stretch of beach in Malibu," and is completely decked out with with the company's TVs and gadgets. The house is decorated by the designers at west elm and features the company's home furnishings and accessories - such as bedding from west elm's new Pure Organic collection and comfy Walton sectional pieces with lots of glam mirrored side tables. It also features a gaming room outfitted with the latest Polaroid LCD TV's, sitting areas with the newest large flat screens and loads of outside space for celebrity photoshoots.

Polaroid has opened the house up for stars like Eva Mendes, Kate Bosworth, Courteney Cox Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio and the cast of Entourage. If only we were so lucky.

GeekSugar — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 10:00:01 -0700

Most celebrities have their token photo pose, which they undoubtedly adopted in an attempt to combat those 10 pounds the camera adds, but how did they come up with the actual stance? The Sun has put together a list of ways to Look sexy in snaps like celebs that offers a little behind the scenes advice for looking good in front of the camera. Highlights include:

The Over The Shoulder - Stars like Rihanna and Jenna Jameson (seen here) love the over-the-shoulder look because it's a statement pose and flaunts your back, bum and shoulders. It draws attention to detail of your gown if it's backless or really ornate.
Cheerleader kick - Used by celebrities of all body types, a pointed and turned out toe pose adds an extra few inches to your leg, elongating its appearance.

For the rest of the list, read more

Hands on Hips - This is Paris Hilton's token move. It's flattering because it makes your arm appear trimly toned and with the elbow pulled back it helps give you a bit of shape by drawing attention to your waist. Curvier celebs adopt the same pose but with their elbow straight out leaning their upper body away from the arm to give as much space between the two as possible.
Shoulders back, stand tall - Eva Mendes is a fan of this less "posed" stance, which comes off as more natural than other poses. It draws attention to your décolletage and shoulders.
Crossed ankles - Nicole Richie uses this one often to elongate her legs.

If you happen to be behind the camera, you can play with light and angles to make your subjects look thinner.
