Look at this picture of Whoopi Goldberg buying an iPhone and then watch the ad in the link.

Well, Venus and Serena Williams both have iPhone 3Gs and Blackberry 8900s. They use both of them often.

And it's called making money --that's what Whoopi is doing. Her personal preference of phone has nothing to do with the commercial. I don't think Tiger Woods drives around in a Buick all the time.
 
That is a first gen iPhone bag, looks like launch day by the photo. Atleast she tried if she did switch, but I'm thinking it was just for endorsements.
 
Well...put a nice wad of cash in my hand, and I'll endorse whatever phone you want me to! ;)
 
agreed

no big deal (hey Whoopi this is T-mobile want to make some money?) :D besides that on TMZ they caught her coming out of the Apple Store with about 4 Apple bags. Maybe she spent come of that commercial money.
 
If that's an original iPhone on launch day, then that was more than 2 years ago. She's most likely moved on to another phone by now.
 
She's smart. (I've met her)

But why wouldn't you accept money from T-mobile if they wanted to pay you to be on T.V.?
 
When I bought my iPhone I don't remember signing a pledge of allegiance to Apple promising to never use another make of phone for as long as I live. :rolleyes:

I think you will find grown ups are exempt. :rolleyes:
 
Agreed, there is way to much celebrity watching that goes on in America these days.

It's not just America, it's either worse or just as bad here in the UK! Magazines 100% about what "celebs" (I'm upset that Firefox spellcheck accepts that word) had for dinner, who they're going out with, who they might like, how it's so hilarious that they're hair was last second's fashion last night etc. are massive here. Yup, loads of idiots...
