Huzzah! With consumer spending in a slump, several corporations have finally decided to stop giving away disgusting amounts of free stuff to famous people, who can afford to buy all the shit 10 times over. Sometimes all it takes is the hovering possibility of a complete global meltdown to get people to think straight: "Y'know, some consumers might be kinda turned off to see us giving away free clothes to multimillionaires; let's not do that anymore."

Oh, well, it was disgusting while it lasted. Here, a gallery of the glory days of the gifting lounge.

Punk is Swiffer brand cleaning supplies, from Procter & Gamble!

Punk is brand loyalty!

Diamond earrings! For free! Gift lounges are more lucrative than divorcing Andre Agassi.

Since she got it, Paula Abdul hasn't been able to keep from accidentally (but kind of on purpose) burning herself with this free thing, her "hair hotstick rub wand," as she calls it.

You're never too old or accomplished for free crappy jeans, Candice. This photo isn't depressing at all.

Ha ha ha! That guy from The Office doesn't know to show the label to the camera. He actually looks a bit annoyed by the photographer. No more free soda for you, guy from The Office.

Winstooooooooooon!

This says: The legging of choice for poorly educated human trophies.

"One has the time in LA and one has the time in Hell's fifth circle, where I keep a duplex."

Which is the thing you can buy? Is it both?

Three Six Mafia won Paris Hilton at an especially chintzy gifting lounge.

Et tu, Neil Patrick Harris? Good riddance to this shit, which has made sad shills of everyone.
