I was drooling while reading this NY Times article on the goody bags Hollywood socialites receive at ritzy parties. To promote products, marketers weigh down favor bags with pounds of free stuff: cosmetics, photo frames, leather purses, spa gift certificates. It’s getting so celebrities are now conditioned to expect these good will gestures and demand extras for “sick friends”. Leonardo DiCaprio got a Motorola phone as part of his loot. But Jennifer Tilly complained that she didn’t receive even a ballpoint pen at the Star Wars premiere since the gift bags were for the kids. “If there’s no gift bag, you get very bummed out.” Ohhh poor thing. It’s such a sad life to be a Hollywood star.
