Since I live in Las Vegas, I’m taking a vested interest in MTV’s Video Music Awards (VMA) this year because they will take place live from Vegas on Sunday, September 9th. I used to be obsessed with MTV when I was a kid, and even though I’m “too old” for it now, I still watch it anyway. I think it would be cool to go to The Palms to check everything out, but I’m sure it’s a madhouse. 

Oh no, I’m not the least bit envious….Oh Britney, why can’t I be you for just long enough to collect my free swag? Here’s what Jennifer Garner, Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Hudson, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado, and a bunch of other celebs will get in their gift bags full of $10,000 worth of stuff:

Beauty products
• Neutrogena skin care for women and men
• Acqua di Parma fragrance
• A Linea-Pro hair-straightening iron
• One-year membership to Exhale for yoga and spa treatments

Other cool stuff
• A Dooney and Burke faux-croc duffel bag
• A $2000 VIP package for The Palms Casino Resort
• Burberry boxers and Vans for the guys
• Hagar Satat jewelry trinkets for the girls
• A USB turntable and gold headphones
• A new HD Tivo

Laser Tattoo Removal !!!
Ha! The celebs get $1000 toward laser tattoo removal from a Los Angeles- based Dr. Tattoff. I’m not sure if I’d trust a doctor with a fake name, but hey it’s free! It looks like Dr. Tattoff is casting for a new reality show. Now’s your chance to get free tattoo removal treatments!
