John Mayer secures a BlackBerry Bold, makes world envious


See how easy it is everyone? All that's required to snag a BlackBerry Bold well before its public release is to become a Grammy award-winning artist, sell out shows worldwide, date a smattering of superstars and convince Fender to create and sell your own branded guitar. While you're off working on step one, John Mayer is living it up with his brand new BlackBerry Bold. Granted, he can't claim to be the very first with said handset, but it's likely the first completely legitimate edition let loose. Of course, once you've landed the Curve and MacBook Air before everyone else on the planet, snagging a Bold is just child's play.

Kenny G rocks his BlackBerry, hard


Aside from big glorious hair, and a career with some 75 million records sold, our Mr. G is apparently a big fan of his BlackBerry Curve. The gents at Switched had some one on one time with Kenny G and picked his brains about what he does and doesn't love about his messaging machine and gleaned a few fun facts. First off he'd like to have seen the handset packing a camera for video messaging -- hasn't that gotten enough celebs in trouble? -- appreciates how fast he can message with it but just wishes the keypad wasn't so cramped -- we hear ya. We think it's kinda refreshing to hear that not all celebrities prefer the glossy iPhone or gem encrusted monsters we see here and again, so keep doin' what you're doing Kenny, you crazy romantic.

Foxy Brown allegedly assaults neighbor with BlackBerry

Joining the growing list of celebrities who can't quit using their cellphones to beat up on others is Foxy Brown, who was recently "charged with assault and possession of a weapon" after allegedly hitting a neighbor with her BlackBerry. Of course, this isn't the first time Foxy's temper has flared up, but when she was confronted over the volume of her stereo system, the handset came out (a few days later, mind you) for purposes other than texting, talking, or capturing the impending battle for future viewing. So, you may be wondering how much damage a flung BlackBerry can do, and if that's the case, here's your answer: the victim was left with a cut lip and a loose tooth.
