"Actor phones" coming up next in Japan
Are designer phones old news? Is Japan starting a new trend with "actor phones"? Are Showtime and CWTV listening? A dripping blood-red Dexter phone for the deranged or for the very fashionable - which would be even more fitting, since text messaging is a big part of this upper East side TV series, "Gossip Girls"- , how about a Serena van der Woodsen' cell phone?

According to Telecoms Korea, "the Japanese management agency for popular Korean actor Bae Yong-jun said Thursday that it plans to put a cell phone featuring Bae on the Japanese market late this year.
"Bae became a megastar after playing a leading role in the smash-hit South Korean TV drama series "Winter Sonata," which was first broadcast in Japan in 2003.
The phone comes with a variety of ring tones that include Bae's recorded voice saying phrases such as, "I want to talk to you on the phone," or "You've received mail."
