Troubled star of Mean Girls (and some other movies, we guess) Lindsay Lohan was snapped leaving the DREAM Hotel in Manhattan yesterday, wielding the very same ultra-rare, ultra-expensive Blackberry that Beyonce has. Oh no she didn't!

The phone is a special edition device designed by Porsche, but with the functionality of the Blackberry Bold 9900/9930. Sorry, guys: It's infinitely more swag than the typical fare you can snag at your local Verizon store.

The phone favored by Ms. Lohan and Queen Bey costs a pretty penny for peasants like us: a Blackberry Bold P'9981 will run you $2,145. So, probably none for Gretchen Wieners bye.

Beyonce’s Incredibly Expensive/Rare BlackBerry Just Shitted On Your Cell Phone’s Life

If you just got the iPhone 4S and modified it with like a glowing Apple logo on back and you're walking around thinking you're a cool guy with a somewhat unique cell phone, well, I just saw this picture of Beyonce walking around in Brooklyn with Blue Ivy in a Baby Bjorn, and she's carrying a BlackBerry so expensive and rare that it makes you and your phone look like total chumps:

That's the BlackBerry Bold P'9981, BlackBerry's specialty model designed by Porsche, which is only available in the UK and the Middle East:

Internally it's basically the same thing as the commonly available BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930, but on the outside (aka what matters), it's special enough to cost $2,145.00 ($2,079.00 on eBay).

Actually, Beyonce needs to upgrade to 24K gold-plated one, which costs $7,642. That would be sick.
