Free Stuff

TRAVIS KELCE IS OVERLOADED WITH FREEBIES, THANKS TO TAYLOR SWIFT

Travis Kelce just discovered that there’s swag, and then there’s the swag that comes from being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend! As a popular pro football player, Travis Kelce got his fair share of free stuff, but ever since his romance with Taylor went public, he’s been BOMBARDED with everything under the sun! My source says that Travis used to receive about a dozen items a month from various designers, but now he’s getting THOUSANDS of boxes delivered to his management company almost every week. It’s gotten SO overwhelming that the management company had to hire a full time staffer just to deal with the nonstop deliveries. From inexpensive items like socks, to clothing and accessories worth thousands of dollars, Travis has quickly become the “it guy” for labels. It looks like a good strategy for these designers, because every time Travis has been photographed with Taylor, whatever he’s wearing seems to sell out right away!

KYLIE JENNER HASN’T LOST HER TASTE FOR FREEBIES

Kylie Jenner has a habit of showing off expensive items that she acquires on Instagram, and some of her fans are offended, claiming that it’s rude to ostentatiously display one’s wealth. Kylie’s little boy was born in February and his name is still a secret along with his FACE. That’s unusual because PR hungry Kylie loves sharing photos of her daughter Stormi and herself. Recently she posted a picture of her son’s designer sneaker collection- which is ironic, because at 6 months he isn’t able to walk yet! Some of the tiny sneakers sell for $250 a pair. The REAL reason Kylie is flaunting the shoes is that she hopes manufacturers will thank her for the free publicity by sending her lots of FREE sneakers…

JULIANNE HOUGH REALLY LOVES THOSE FREEBIES

Dancing with the Stars pro Julianne Hough made the MOST of her time at the Day of Indulgence party on Sunday. Looks like she stocked up on just about everything that fit her and more… Will she make it to her car without help? That white bag on her back is full of Spanx which she might need when she appears on The Bachelorette. ABC wants Julianne, who happens to be divorced and between boyfriends, to appear on the show to boost ratings, which have sunk to an all-time low. Julianne is currently on a break from DWTS, and she’s definitely open to appearing on an upcoming season.

KRISTEN BELL HAS THE BEST YARD SALES

Above, Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell was outspoken at the Keep Families Together toy drive last summer. And she continued her generosity this weekend with a special yard sale at her Los Feliz home. She placed boxes of used Christmas decorations, assorted stuff she didn’t need any more, and her two daughters’ cast-off toys and clothing, in her front yard and gave everything away for FREE! She sets a nice example for her kids…

PARIS JACKSON IS HARDLY IN NEED OF FREE CLOTHING

It’s easy to make assumptions when observing this outfit that Paris Jackson wore to the LACMA Film Gala. First, the gown is obviously Gucci and also WAY too covered up and serious for whimsical Paris. She lightened up the rather mature and elegant frock with flashy Gucci sneakers. A nice touch. We imagine that huge boxes of Gucci clothing (among other labels) are sent to Jackson FREE, in hopes that she will be photographed wearing them. Since she became an important “it” girl, Paris does not have to spend much of her 8 million dollar a year allowance from her father’s estate on clothing.

JENNIFER LOPEZ MAKES TIME FOR A DAY OF INDULGENCE

Jennifer Lopez dons a denim jumpsuit for 'Day of Indulgence' event

Even busy Jennifer Lopez found time to attend THIS party. Most magazines have a hard time getting top notch celebrities to show up at their parties – but In Style magazine knows the secret: Give away loads of freebies! The all-girl event called Day of Indulgence was held at a beautiful Brentwood home – and indulgent it WAS. Actresses bonded over free manicures, pedicures, massages, and spa treatments. Of course the food was amazing – salad bars, candy tables – everything a girl could want. Best of all was the shopping element- lingerie, makeup, Spanx of course, luggage, designer clothing of all kinds, and the price was right – FREE! The girls all left with overflowing shopping bags – Jennifer had a friend carry hers. Sounds dreamy…

LUCKY CASPER SMART IS NOW A CELEBRITY

Casper Smart dressed better when Jennifer Lopez was around to give him advice. This is how he looked when he arrived at the American Music Awards celebrity gifting suite at the W Hotel. Interesting how he is now a celebrity because he dated Jennifer. Of course, maybe he’s dancing on the award show. We wish we had a photo of him walking OUT of the suite with a pile of freebies!

BRITNEY SPEARS CASTOFFS ARE UP FOR GRABS- AND THAT’S OKAY

So WHAT if Britney Spears’ ex fiancée is selling stuff that Britney didn’t want! Jason Trawick has been criticized because he was seen trying to sell or give away clothing, accessories, beauty products, handbags, shoes, etc. that had been sent to Britney free for promotional reasons, and she didn’t want them. Supposedly Jason kept many of Brit’s discarded freebies and now he’s trying to unload them. A few weeks ago he was seen in the parking lot of Fred Segal showing items in his car trunk to a group of girls – whether he was trying to GIVE them away or sell them isn’t known. But, either way, why not? If Britney doesn’t care, why should we?

OPRAH WILL MAKE HER OWN NETWORK A SUCCESS OR DIE TRYING

Oprah is still frantically trying to resuscitate her OWN network so she’s going to start giving away more freebies. During the run of her Oprah show, the most popular segments were celebrity interviews and “My Favorite Things” where the audience walked away with a bag of gifts. Oprah is developing a weekly show for OWN in which a different celebrity each week will give away THEIR favorite things (tech items, beauty products, fashion etc.) Her friend Gayle King may or may not host – the details are still being worked out.

LINDSAY LOHAN CAN’T GET ENOUGH FREE STUFF

Lindsay Lohan makes it a habit to visit as many gifting suites as possible at this time of year. We just wonder if it’s a good idea for someone who admits she is a HOARDER. You’ll remember Lindsay did an interview with Niecy Nash for The Insider last year and showed off her apartment jampacked with boxes, shoes, racks of clothing, and garments and bags strewn everywhere. Undoubtedly, somewhere in that mess were bags of stuff from various gifting suites through the years. Some people just can’t get enough….
