Helping those who need it most

It's the MTV Europe Music Awards tonight and those poor cash-strapped artists and presenters appearing at the event are being presented with goodie bags "which cannot be bought anywhere", complete with logos of a bull for boys and cupid for the girls. So what treats are in store for the likes of Foo Fighters, Mika, Avril Lavigne, Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty and Snoop Dogg? The latest Walkman phone and a Bluetooth headset from Sony Ericsson, a Jo Malone candle, nail products from Butter London, Nike golf bag and accessories, gold membership of Starwood hotels, a Swatch watch, Spider-Man 3 DVD ... the list goes on, like some billionaire's Generation Game conveyor belt. Let's hope the stars get something out of their luxury items. For starters, Pete Doherty could probably put the St Tropez tanning products to good use. To put some colour in his cheeks, you understand.
