There is no more effective way of catching pesky, flittering celebrities than with the irresistible honey-trap of the gifting suite. With many stars in town for upfronts, shopping magazine Lucky set up "The Lucky Club" at the New York Ritz Carlton, and, not surprisingly, the famous dutifully lined up for their turn at the complimentary luxury goods soup kitchen. A round-up:
· Britney Spears bounced her bobbleheaded baby, Sean "Wrong Way" Preston, on her hip as she stacked up on "$5,000 worth of track jackets and polos - size XXL," items she presumably fantasized would make for a dramatic tumble from a top floor window when she finally kicks Kevin Federline out of the house. [NY Daily News]
· Mischa Barton perused the L.A.M.B. table: "'I like this. I have that,' Offered a pair of size 6 shorts, Barton didn't bother to try them on. 'They'll probably fit. I'm such a lazy shopper.'" There's a certain harmonious, zen comfort to be derived from knowing Barton shops like she acts like she lives. [NY Daily News]
· Notorious germaphobe Howie Mandel, who browsed with one of Deal or No Deal's fembots, commented that one of the best parts of gifting suites is not having "to handle cash." He then spent an hour at the Louis Vuitton display doing what he does best, pointing at various pieces of luggage and asking his companion to open them for him. [NY Post]
