Free Stuff

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…

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.

OF COURSE NICK CANNON WANTS SOMEONE ELSE TO PAY FOR HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yesterday Page 6 wrote a big story about how Nick Cannon is looking for corporate sponsors to pay for his 30th birthday bash and fill gift bags. The party will be hosted by his wife Mariah Carey, and lots of high profile guest are “confirmed” such as Jay-Z and Beyonce, Ashton and Demi, Kobe Bryant etc, to whet the sponsors appetites. Of course, Nick and Mariah don’t need the money but they’re only doing what just about ALL the celebrities do – let someone else pay for their parties. Jay-Z and Beyonce don’t need the money either, but they never pay for their own parties. Nick has ALWAYS gotten sponsors for his birthday parties – the difference is HE talks about it and other celebrities have their PR people handle it quietly.
