AFAIK no microcontrollers have bluetooth built-in, so you'll need to get a separate module for that (be warned - they get quite expensive. much more expensive than the microcontroller itself).

Just about any microcontroller (that have enough outputs) will do.

It ISN'T made for beginners, get a duemillanove first, it has a very easy size to work with chip package, that can be replaced VERY easily if damaged, unlike the BT version.
