LC and Brody "Shine" in New AT&T Cell Phone Commercial
Since the season finale of The Hills, I've seriously been in Audrina, Lauren, and Heidi drama withdrawal. And since I can't stalk them and their cell phones each week, I'm always on the lookout for new pics and tidbits of juicy info. Well LC is back on TV, teaming up with AT&T yet again for a cheeky commercial for the LG Shine.

LG Shows Off 'Candybar' Shine Phone
LG has introduced a 'candybar incarnation' of its Shine slider phone, reports Reg Hardware and like the glamorous ISSE Monaco Phones from Nokia, it will only be available in Russia for a while.
It's unclear when the Shine Bar - as the non-slider is known - will make it to the rest of Europe and beyond, says Reg Hardware.
Expect it to pack in a 262,144-color, 240 x 320 display; a two megapixel camera with auto-focus; Bluetooth; 50MB of user-accessible memory; and a Micro SD slot for up to 2GB of add-in storage space.

Who Is Your Favorite Celeb iPhone User?
The original iPhone was released in June 2007, but in 2008 Apple upgraded to the iPhone 3G and we witnessed more and more of young Hollywood testing out its touchscreen and apps. Brody Jenner showed off his iPhone on The Hills before his LG Shine commercial; singers Carrie Underwood, Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff and Jennifer Hudson presumably love easy access to iTunes; Katherine Heigl, Kelly Ripa and Megan Fox play with their iPhone on the set and streets, while Spencer Pratt and Whitney Port made their mini machines famous on The Hills.

Do the Gimmicks for LG's Dare Make You Want to Buy It?
Since PetSugar had noticed the controversial portrayal of pit bulls in one of the commercials for LG's Dare, I began recalling the other commercials for the Dare, like this one where a Jessica Simpson-lookalike risks life and limb to get her Dare back from a ledge.
Since LG has begun giving their products cheeky names (many of them so similar to Alfred Hitchcock film titles that it warranted a quiz) and the voice over for these ads says sexily, "Dare You To Touch One" with its "bold features" and "fearless design," it seems like the company is reaching far into its bag of gimmicks to appeal to a young, hip audience (like they did with Lauren and Brody in their Shine commercial) by seeming edgy.
I'm not so sure that the controversy of the pit bull commercial was unintentional, either (thankfully the commercial got pulled); I mean, here we are, talking about it, after all.

Mirrored iPhone: Never Have Spinach in Your Teeth Again
Not embarrassed to admit that I ooh-la-la'ed one non-tech spec about the LG Shine, which LC expertly demonstrated: the fact that it makes an awesome mirror. But since I don't need a new phone, I have found a way to make my iPhone do double-duty: the Echo mirrored iPhone case, just $13.
It doesn't look available for the iPhone 3G just yet, so 1st gen users, enjoy, and 3G users — just shine it up extra good for the reflection.
Paris Shines Her Light on Benji
Paris and Benji spent another day checking out all that LA has to offer, this time grabbing lunch at Prego in Beverly Hills before heading to the DCMA store yesterday. It's no secret that Paris is her own biggest fan, but Benji is stepping it up to challenge her for the title. The heiress couldn't help gushing about the song Benji wrote for her at the LG launch party Monday night, saying, "He actually wrote me a beautiful song, and actually recorded it in the studio.
