While Justin Timberlake massaged his ego at the ESPY Awards, guests were more eager about the goodies inside their gift bags. Among their rewards for attending:
• Ancestry.com Annual World Deluxe, DNA Ancestry Kit & Family Tree Maker 2008 Software
• Johnston & Murphy leather toiletry sets including personal care items and J & M fragrance
• Rosetta Stone, Gift Certificate for a Level 1 CD Rom and a 3 Month Online Language Subscription
• Gift card valid at any Subway location in the U.S.
• Under Armour Large Gym Bag and Sunglasses
• Zirh Platinum drenched moisturizer
Jealous!
In just two days, you'll witness MTV's first experiment with broadcasting the Movie Awards live — and then never again! Well, we forget what they told us about Sunday's broadcast, but from what we recall, they're only going to make the broadcast available online, all in hopes of generating something called "ratings" for Sunday night's event.
But who cares about all that! What you really want to know is what the talent (celebrities, reality TV stars, overeager publicists) will be walking away with. So here you are, this year's look inside MTV's gift bag. CONTINUED »
So fine, we're not going to be getting our hands on a giftbag this weekend at Saturday's MTV Movie Awards, but a few (hundred?) celebs will. In what's being billed as their "most lavish gift baskets" (baskets, not bags), MTV will be handing out swag like Givenchy watches and Fendi eyewear by the bushel — you know, instead of feeding the hungry in Benin or distributing condoms in Angola.
Truth be told, we actually can't find any single item worth over $2,000 (how much does a six month gym membership go for these days?). And who wants a damn Superman doll? No $15,000 grills. No outrageous getaways (a 2-day spa trip doesn't count). Just about the only thing we'd use? The 12-month Netflix membership.
The full list of semi-desirable goods, after the jump.
