If a Hollywood star's wattage is measured by the quality of the swag (diamonds, luxury vacations, designer jeans, free phones, and plasma screen TVs) they receive at awards show gifting suites, then the stars of daytime TV have dim bulbs indeed.
Daytime Emmy Awards nominees and presenters - including Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Lisa Rinna, Vivica Fox and Elmo - who visited the official Talent Gift Lounge at the Kodak Theatre this week, walked away with beach bags from the very friendly Kmart representatives. Kmart?
The goodie bags held bottles of blowing bubbles; cable knit throws from Levitz (?!); and the new, "younger" versions of Love's Baby Soft and English Leather also available at your nearby drugstore.
The really big stars, like Barbara, probably scored some "antique-inspired" crystal jewelry or colorful flip-flops festooned with beads and bows. Every visitor, however, was more than welcome to a tin of chocolate-covered Altoids.
What, no Costco memberships?
