Well, there is a recession on and times are hard, so maybe that’s the reason for Vanessa Hudgens’ need to squirrel away as many freebies as she could while at the Golden Globe Parties on Sunday night.

The High School Musical star helped herself to thousands of dollars worth of gifts that had been supplied by the ceremony’s sponsors and while at various parties.

Running out of hands to carry the gear, Hudgens employed the services of her assistant who was also seen tripping along behind the girlfriend of Zac Efron, carrying equally as well crammed bags.

A on looker at one event told the New York Daily News,”Vanessa overtook the area and was careful to make sure she took something from every booth. Among the items she picked were a BlackBerry Pearl phone and a diamond pendant’.
