Rihanna's the best blagger in town

RihannablogTAKE a bow, Rihanna, for you are officially theBuzz’s best blagger in town.

The 20-year-old singer hogged the limelight backstage at the Jingle Bell Ball last night as she  nabbed piles of freebies for her and beau Chris Brown.

As well as luxury items such as designer sunglasses, dresses, suitcases, perfumes and aftershaves, she even snagged a luxury alarm clock. She was stopped in her tracks only when she tried to blag a £50,000 gold mobile phone headset.

Before her storming show, theBuzz spied Rihanna (left) and her entourage shamelessly scooping bags full of top blags from the Montgomery Ellis gifting suite. So much so that even host Johnny Vaughan was shocked.

He told us: “I love it when you see someone who’s ­really really rich and famous being totally ruthless about freebies.

“She went for the alarm clock, the caps, everything to the fruit pastilles.”

Our own freebie-watching spy said: “Rihanna swept into the suite and began a mammoth hoard of designer clothes and gadgets. Everyone was after the Lumie Bodyclock and New Era clobber but Rihanna blagged the lot!

“She was obviously getting some treats for her boyfriend. Chris will have a great Christmas with the amount Rihanna got!”

But his missus might not be too pleased with her own haul – as Chris might not be able to afford her expensive tastes.

Our spy added: “Rihanna loved a gold Plantronics headset covered in diamonds and pearls, but staff said as it was worth £50,000 she would have to pay for it!”

Why doesn't she spend some of the money she has accrued from wearing nasty outfits and singing in that horrid android voice to buy stuff?

Talentless, vacuous clothes horse gets free clothes for being talentless and vacuous. I'm jealous.

If anyone else tried to pull this stunt it would be referred to as "stealing" and not "blagging" - and it wouldn't be thought of as being cute.

What a great night! Check out her amazing performance at http://www.capitalradio.co.uk/photos/rihanna-jingle-bell-ball/2173/
