It’s hard enough for all of us regular folk to try to find useful iPhone apps that aid our daily lifestyle – what about celebrities?
With their hectic multi-faceted schedules (yes Lindsay, we do mean you), incompetent and difficult staff (oh, Naomi we truly feel for you) and all that attention being paid to them all the time, it can be difficult to take the time out and savor the finer things in life (like their iPhone). So for them, we’ve created this list of most useful iPhone applications of all time that can be also useful for the rest of us.
For the little Robert Pattinson in all of us
You’re known for your hair. So much so that you’re fearful of doing anything different about it. So why not use the Redo Hairstyle app and live a little bit? You can try on all the male and female hairstyles you’ve always wanted without the paparazzi catching you in a ‘Britney’ moment or coming out of a wig store with lots of big bags – on the night before Pride Day. Watch out though, for your ego (or at least your agent) may not like the way you look.
For Gwyneth Paltrow food nerds
This excellent food app will tell you WHAT food is in season (and in available in your region) and WHERE to get it (from weekly farmers markets to your food co-op and supermarket). Do you want to only put the freshest things in your body (Aside from all that Ciroq vodka)? Are you trying to increase your ‘green’ profile? Then this app is for you.
For the Mel Gibson types
Worried about people putting words in your mouth? Feel like people take stuff out of context all the time? Why not put another mouth on your words? The Mouth Off App displays a cartoony mouth on your iPhones that lip-synchs to whatever you are saying – while it has an excellent comic effect that is cute, the other useful feature is being able to say pretty terrible things and being able to claim that’s it all in the name of satire. Christian Bale should have used this one too.
For the budding Steven Spielberg
There will be a day when movies are made on an iPhone outfitted with an HD camera – in order to prepare in the meantime, the Hitchcock app allows you to completely storyboard the movie that you envision – by taking pictures, cropping, adding movement and audio you can come up with your movie pitch and sell it in no time. That is, if you have enough confidence in your Spielberg grade skills to give it a shot.
For the outspoken Alec Baldwin types
When you’re an intense, over-serious guy, you tend to do intense, over serious things. Cooling off in a Zen like manner can be easily achieved with an iPhone app like Bloom. Developed by fellow famous person and musician Brian Eno, this ambient music generator allows you to create a soothing tone just with a touch of your finger. We all need a little distraction now and again and few things do it without inspiring that competitive and angry little devil in you.
For Snoop Dogg wannabes (…and it’s not for what you think)
When you hear that new song or the one you just can’t quite place, Shazam is there to record and identify it with you. When you run it, a snippet of the music that is playing (wherever you are) is sent and matched to a database of songs, so you can always know which song you are sampling and can get the rights to it before you use it for your new hip hop masterpiece and not get sued.
For Angelina Jolies who keep growing their brood
Whether your baby is from Malawi or you’re not sure who the daddy is, child care is serious business. So the Kid Care app is a real essential in order to understand real symptoms of illness as well as just the kind of fussy behavior kids are known to exhibit. You may only play a doctor on TV, but this app will give you some confidence off the set as well.
For Winona Ryders and sticky fingers
Girlfriend, you don’t NEED to shoplift… or maybe you DO. Maybe if you had the Barcode Scanner app on your phone you would have second thoughts. It’s easy to throw something into your purse when you’re convinced someone isn’t looking, but taking the time to scan an item will help hopefully allow you to appreciate it a bit more and wait until your next paycheck comes in so that you can actually purchase it.
For the ‘Tia Tequila’ types
We thought long and hard about where the best celeb gossip comes from, and we have to agree that TMZ really has their finger on the pulse. So much so that we have a nagging suspicion that every other person living in LA is a TMZ employee. You want to know how you’re doing in the gossip rags? Need inspiration for how to end up on the top of the headlines? TMZ is where to go.
For drivers (you know who you are)
Too many celebs seem to get into trouble with driving, making it hard to mention just one here. But perhaps instead of driving away after an accident, this simple app called iWrecked will help them brave through their embarrassment. It basically walks you through how to file an accident report, take pictures and make sure you have all details at hand so that you can send your report to the insurance company. And you can even dial 911 through it – how unique to actually call the cops instead of being caught by them!
The iPhone has proven itself to be a useful tool, but even if celebrities don’t make the most of it, you surely can. Download some of these today – or add your own app recommendations in the comments!
