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.

Celebrity Geek Hideout: LG House Malibu

We're all too familiar with the celebrity red carpets at cell phone and gaming console release parties, but how else are electronic companies wooing celebs? LG electronics turned a trendy beach house in Malibu, California into what Oh Gizmo calls a "geeks dream home." The 3,500 square foot abode is right on the beach and outfitted with the latest electronics and appliances from LG, such as a 71” LG plasma HDTV connected to one of LG’s dual format HD DVD “Super Blu” players, the new enV Orange phone and the LG VX9400 phone, and of course, a LG HDTV refrigerator that has a 15” HDTV in the door.
Sadly, the beach house isn't for regular geeks like you and me. Chris Brown, Nick Cannon and Emmy Rossum have had parties at the pad while Universal Media Studios used the LG House for a party for the cast of shows like Heroes and The Office. What's a girl gotta do to get an invite?
