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 read more.

Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones by Lady Gaga

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:43:23 -0700

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.

What Product Would You Want to Endorse For Money?

SavvySugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:00:52 -0700

Celebrities are cherry-picked to endorse particular products. They're scattered across magazines and the small screen, endorsing everything from hair-dye and makeup to water and even cotton (the fabric of our lives). What product or type of product would you be proud to endorse and have fun doing so?

Rachel Zoe Uses Bing to Find a Purse-Friendly Digital Cam

GeekSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 07:33:04 -0700

Yesterday I posted two videos that featured Rachel Zoe in not only one, but two Microsoft Bing commercials. Today, I've got two more - this time Rachel is getting her Bing on with her assistants, Taylor and Marisa, as she tries to find a small camera and searches for room availability at her favorite hotel in Paris. Microsoft Bing is the "official decision engine" of The Rachel Zoe Project, which is why these RZ commercials are coming out of the woodwork. Stay tuned for these Bing TV placements to also appear in The Philanthropist, coming this Fall to NBC. I'm still trying to get in the habit of Binging instead of Googling, what about you?

And to watch the Bing commercial with Rachel and her assistant Marisa, just read more.

I Go Bananas: Rachel Zoe In Microsoft Bing Commercial

GeekSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:15:12 -0700

A woman of many (or not so many) words, fashionista Rachel Zoe is kind of a big deal around here. I'm already tracking all of her tech habits and imagining what fashion-forward gadget gear she should be adding to her collection. Did you happen to catch the season opener of The Rachel Zoe Project the other night? Aside from the many MacBook and BlackBerry appearances, RZ was featured in a commercial for Microsoft's newest search engine - Bing! Here's the clip of her and her hubby Roger trying to figure out where to go for dinner.

And to watch Rachel and Brad (I die!) in another Bing ad, just read more.

Ozzy Osbourne Is the New Face of Samsung Jack Cell Phones

Oddly enough, Ozzy Osbourne - who has already worked his geek mojo for World of Warcraft - has just teamed up with Samsung to help catapult the new Samsung Jack Windows smartphone into drool-worthy gadget status. This cheeky new commercial features Ozzy having some issues with his personal assistants and shows how his Samsung Jack could easily replace them. My favorite part? Watching him do an "unboxing" with his rock star black nails!

Guitar Hero Makes Risky Business For Celebs!

GeekSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 04:00:10 -0700

Though we have yet to see Tom Cruise, Guitar Hero has employed a wide gamut of celebs to play his famous role in Risky Business, but with a GH twist. With the latest March Madness/Metallica inspired spot, I thought I'd remind you of the past stars who've stripped down to their pink shirt and undies, and slipperiest socks, and yes, taken those old records off the shelf.
