Ringtones…

The Washington Post’s Mike Musgrove writes about celebrities’ ringtones.

Fox News personality Greta Van Susteren’s phone rings to “Hello Dolly” when her sister calls, the “Twilight Zone” theme song when her brother does, and the William Tell Overture when her producer rings. When her husband calls, her phone belts out the “American Bandstand” theme.

There’s a thought process behind some of these selections. Her producer gets William Tell when she calls because it’s a ring that sounds appropriately important, and “Hello Dolly” was a song she heard around the house as a kid. As for “American Bandstand,” there’s no real explanation. “It just makes everybody who hears it laugh,” she said.

  3. Well, you should hear the ringtone “Me” uses: When his brother calls, it says “BUSH’S BAD!” When his sister calls, it says “BUSH’S BAD!” When his parents call, it’s “BUSH’S BAD” When it’s his job calls… aw, who are we kidding, he doesn’t have a job!

    PS
    My phone goes “Ring”

  4. Anderson Cooper must be mad. He thought he was the only one who used Hello Dolly, although I think there’s alot more Broadway stuff he can select from-lol
