Apparently in Hollywood it even pays to be a loser!

Oscars went Sunday, we found out who the big winners were (Reminder: view the winners list from yesterday's post below), but don’t feel bad for the losers. No in Hollywood, Oscar losers literally walk away with riches. Here is the list of goodies found in the Academy Award “consolation prize” bags handed out to non-winners on Monday.

Here we go…
An orbital space flight on Virgin Galactic ..it alone worth 200 thousand dollars!!
A four-night stay at a luxury resort in the Indian Ocean, featuring underwater spa
Black caviar eye and neck cream
A one-week “fitness and weight-loss” retreat from Live in Fitness
A pack of electronic cigarettes decorated with crystals
A fancy roll of “Shimmer” toilet paper... It's gold in colour I hear...
Use of a private island for five days, “including private houseman”
And finally “all natural” nasal spray

By the way, I crunched the numbers, the grand total value of the consolation gift bags $233,184.99 ...Yeesh, these folks lose an Oscar and still get a gift bag worth more cash then your house!... Ridiculous!!.....
P.S. Anyone know where I can by gold TP?! --Gilmore
