Grammy celebrities awarded freebies

Super-elaborate "goody bags" are the latest thing to give out during special events.

Each participating celebrity at Wednesday’s Grammy Awards broadcast will receive an extravagant collection of goodies, valued at more than $13,000.

"We get things less to impress (celebs) than to introduce them to new labels or give them things not available to the public," said R. LashFary of Distinctive Assets in Los Angeles, which makes up the goodie bags.
