Does Gwen Stefani really use an HP?

I just saw a commercial of Gwen for HP. Does she really use an HP? Two years ago I saw her at the United NRT IFL and she was using a 12 inch powerbook. Do the people that do commercials for HP really use them? Last year, I was going through security at SFO and a couple of people in front of me was Sean - the snowboard guy and out of his bag he pulls out a macbook. I was kinda surprised because he was doing the HP commercials.

Its possible that their endorsements don't specify HP "computers". They may have other HP gear (printers, etc). Also, there is probably nothing in their contract that limits them to only owning/using HP products, but rather limits them from participating in advertising for other (competing) products.

I guess I'm kinda disappointed that mac users would be hawking HPs.

I'm sure that if they paid you what they paid her you'd be on TV promoting HP as well

Every time I have seen her, it was in London. Does the girl ever spend time in LA?

And yes, I'd peddle any HP cr*p, sorry any kind of wares, for the right amount of cash.

It's about as likely as Petra Nemkova using one. But the ads are, er, suggestive.

Does Tiger Woods really have a Buick? I think you kind of have to, at least, use that product a little. Didn't Pat Boone get into some endorsement trouble years ago for some acne stuff because he said he used it and he didn't? Or was that his daughter. Anyhow, I hope Gwen really does like her HP computer because that's the main reason I bought one myself.

OK, kidding there.

do these adverts advert demonstrate the capabilities of the products compared to the competitors?

Last time I stayed over at her house, she was using an Apple.
