I want an Oscar gift bag - they get 100,000 dollars worth of GIFTS |
|
Vacations...
Diamonds....
PLASTIC SURGERY (I kid you not)
Designer clothing
The only gift bag I ever got was at the hospital when my kids were born; plastic diaper bag with a few cans of Enfamil.
Seriously, why didn't those companies donate a house for the Katrina victims in the name of each star instead of giving them stuff that they can AFFORD to buy and don't need. It was have been awesome publicity for the companies and it would have helped somebody.
But, hey. Someone might need a tummy tuck.
Surreal.

4. When the next disaster hits |
|
will they being donating to the victims? The actors could always ask or tell the corporations to not spend the money on gift bags and use the big bucks on more worthy people.

6. They're certificates, and lots of times they're embarassed to ask |
|
for them. Can make 'em look petty to call up and ask for their free digital camera, even if it is the newest whizbang model.
