It's probably as close as I am ever going to come to actually dancing with Fergie. And I loved every minute of it.
Motorola is just one of the exhibitors using celebrity heft to draw foot traffic to within gawking distance of their products. The cellphone manufacturer has set up a booth where you can dance in front of a green screen and they superimpose you into a video alongside the one and only Fergie. You can choose either the song Glamorous or Fergalicious - I opted for the latter - and they email it to you. As soon as it shows up in my inbox, I'll see what I can do about getting it posted here.
Motorola isn't stopping there, hip-hop star Wyclef Jean is coming by their booth to sign autographs tomorrow. But Motorola is by no means the only one. Monster Cable is launching a new line of headphones in association with rap icon Dr. Dre and putting on a concert starring Mary J Blige tonight.
HP has bags at their booth featuring the beautiful visage of Gwen Stefani to promote their relationship with the singer, Slash appeared during the Microsoft keynote and of course Taser had a handful of Playboy Playmates.
And yes, watching me dance is as awkward as it sounds.
