Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani to star in Windows Phone 8 ads?


Windows Phone 8, no problem?

If you're going to ensure that your new Windows Phone 8 is going to be respected as the only machine with which to be seen, you don't want has-beens holding them in ads.


You want Jay-Z, not Jay Leno.


And so the rumor is that Microsoft has employed not merely Jay-Z, but one of the queens of dressing-up and occasionally singing -- Gwen Stefani -- to implant its phones into the cool side of human brains.


According to the Sun, these fine aspirational figures will be thrust forward any minute now to bend your mind.


They are to be joined in the U.K. by popular charmers such as James Corden and Holly Willoughby, host of lovely shows like the U.K.'s version of "The Voice" (Her ad is embedded here.)


Microsoft has already given everyone a clue that its design is different because it's "Reinvented Around You."
