Celebrities and their Apple goodies

Recently, several of you tipped us on this video of US Senator Barak Obama quickly checking something on his iPhone (it happens around the 1:00 mark). It got us thinking of our favorite celebrity Apple product sightings.

Back in July of 2006, it was reported that Pope Benedict XVI had received an iPod nano from employees of Vatican Radio. The phrase "To His Holiness, Benedict XVI" was engraved on the back.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II purchased an iPod mini back in July of '05.
U.S. Presidential adviser Karl Rove was seen using his iPhone in August of last year.
Actress, singer and all-around role model Lindsay Lohan whipped out her iPhone shortly after they were first released in the U.S.

So welcome to the club, Senator! You're in good company. We think.

He's Twittering using Hahlo... :) He's in a Twitter Followers race between Leo Laporte and Kevin Rose. (Hillary and McCain are way behind in this race).

How can you tell it is an iPhone? The quality of video is low. Plus,
it gives an strange blue glow. This would make me think that it was a
Blackberry (which typically hang from the belt).
