The rich get richer every day, especially those upon whom celebrity status is bestowed. Ironically those who can afford the most pay for the least.

Reese Witherspoon, shown here as a brunette, and looking all the better for it, in my humble opinion, is now the top paid actress of all time. Her fee has risen to $29 million per movie!

Reese will be a first-time presenter at Sunday's Oscars , and for that bit of arduous work, she will be rewarded with the top shelf version of an Oscar Goody Bag, valued at about $110,000.00.

So what's in these bags?

Well, first off, you should know that anything included must have a value of more than $600.00, so any star hoping to get a free, Popeil Pocket Fisherman , will be disappointed.

For starters, this year a pair of Manolo shoes, such as the ones so coveted by Carrie of "Sex And The City."

I never did understand women and their shoes. To me these things look like monstrosities. I'll bet they feel like mini torture chambers too, the human foot was never meant to assume the position necessary to wear these things.

These things run about 1500 bucks, which would just about cover my monthly mortgage payment.

The Oscars Goody Bag phenomenon started in 1989, and has escalated to ridiculous proportions. In fact, even the losers are being courted as potential product pushers, which is what all this is about of course.

A "gift consultant," named Lash Fary, (how do they come up with these non-names?) plans to personally deliver consolation prizes to the losers at this year's Oscars.

Here's an interesting story about this latest twist, and some information about similar giveaways at other award events, such as the Grammys.

This year's lucky Goody Bag recipients can expect to find tickets for a $25,000, three-day stay in Hawaii, and a $1500.00 steak dinner coupon. Jeesh, I'm tickled when the local sports bar puts a twofer coupon in the newspaper. Then I get to eat too, rather than just watching my wife chow down.

Plasma TV's, $1,500 cashmere blankets, and diamond encrusted bras, will also be given away. Pity the poor chick who puts that bra on inside out after imbibing on a free $1,000 bottle of champagne.

So, has anyone identified this actress from the exclusive Creative Weblogging Oscar movie clip I posted on Tuesday?

Well, she's Dori Legg, a former Triathlete, who is now an accomplished stage and short film actress. In 2003 she won the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress, Resident Play, for her performance in "Recent Tragic Events," produced by The Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.

Dori is starring in a new movie by whiz kid, M. Night Shyamalan, which should be every bit as good as his previous efforts.

Now I know you've seen at least one of his movies. I recently saw "The Village," and thought it was great, really different from others of its genre.

Note that Shyamalan wrote the screenplay for the immensely popular "Stuart Little," and wrote the Bruce Willis thriller, "Sixth Sense," as well.

He is one extremely versatile and talented guy. Jeez, I wonder if he'd be interested in turning one of my novels into a movie? Oh well, nice to dream.

Anyhow, be sure to look for the clip this Sunday during The Oscars, and let all your friends know that you saw it here first.
