Vanessa Hudgens Loves Golden Globes’ Swag

Roberta @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, January 12, 2009

It was that time of the year, the Golden Globes were televised last night, and celebrities were dressed to the nine’s for the event. Well, most of them were.

Vanessa Hudgens looked cute in her dress and pearls, but the annoying thing about her was how much swag she walked away with. Vanessa reportedly had her assistant lugging home four bags full of gifts with her, totaling a whopping $12,000!

Swag is one way for advertisers to boost sales for their product. The celebrity takes a photo with the item and gets to keep one for themselves. How much time do you think Vanessa spent in the gifting lounges? Five hours?

She reportedly made off with a one-year pass for her and a pal to a AMC Theaters, a BlackBerry Pearl, a coffee machine, a $4,000 diamond pendant, designer clutches, a year-long gym membership and more.

Clint Eastwood took the old Hollywood approach and opted out of the gifting lounges. Ricky Gervais said he only wanted a pair of sunglasses.

Vanessa Hudgens made out like a bandit, but she wasn’t the only one. “Mad Men’s” January Jones also took home $10,000 worth of gifts, while Samaire Armstrong took home a $4,500 necklace.

With the economy in shambles and big CEO’s getting all kinds of taxpayer money, it’s a shame that celebrities are allowed to brag about the stuff they get for free. Tacky.
