Let’s be honest: the best part of being a celebrity is all the free swag. Well, one of the best parts. And it’s so strange because if anyone can afford to pay for stuff, it’s celebrities. Well, for the most part. The ones that don’t have the cash are generally the ones most eager for swag. But because they’re normally minor celebrities, they’re also the least likely to get it. Thus is the tragic case with Hailey Glassman, Jon Gosselin’s girlfriend. Hailey likely got a new pair of boobs recently (though probably not for free) and now she’s getting demanding of all sorts of businesses in an effort to take advantage of her “celebrity.”

Jon Gosselin isn’t the only person trying to benefit from the freebies bestowed by his tabloid cover life. His girlfriend Hailey Glassman is trying to collect as many extras as she can, too. FOX411 has learned that Hailey’s people (meaning her friends) are putting out calls and requests for clothing, jewelry and even specially delivered diets for the 23 year-old to take advantage of her role in the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” drama.

As stories of Jon’s multiple infidelities with nanny Stephanie Santoro multiply following her interview with In Touch magazine last week in which Santoro detailed their affair, Hailey Glassman is still dating the father of eight and milking the relationship as much as she can. “Hailey and Jon are still together [at least] momentarily,” says an insder [sic]. “His profession of love for her on television seems to be carrying him through the Stephanie Santoro magazine covers. They are seeing each other in New York.”

And while they continue to canoodle, Hailey has friends calling as fast as they can for freebies on her behalf. “Hailey thinks her fame should get her the same kind of things that Jon’s fame does,” says a source. “She has given people the task of making calls to companies for things like clothes. Even though she is never photographed, she seems to think that she is famous and deserving of the free stuff, just like Jon. She recently had a pal call a health food delivery service that she wanted to get for free, too.” Sadly, Hailey was denied the detox diet.

One of the businesses contacted by Glassman’s friends explains: “We don’t want to be a part of the drama and most companies have no desire to align themselves with Jon and Hailey. They are such a mess and people are turning her down immediately. It is ridiculous to think that she deserves swag, when she isn’t photographed publicly and if she is, it is amid major scandal. Companies that gift to celebrities want positive people attached to their products and their story is not positive.”

It makes me happy when any woman supposedly dating Jon Gosselin doesn’t get her way. On the one hand, because he’s a douche, I enjoy that the women are obviously just using him for a little bit of fame. Let’s face it, he’s no looker or anything but they’re not a whole lot better. None of them are ugly, but they’re all a few degrees off from pretty. They all have nice bodies and so-so faces. Using Jon to get on the cover of Star is pathetic and funny, so it’s a bit enjoyable. Actually profiting from it is totally unfair though. Not that I consider anyone “deserving” of swag, but there are sure some people that are extra undeserving. Hailey and Jon both being good examples. I bet if you asked random people on the street, 95% wouldn’t know who she is. Most of the businesses probably said no to her swag requests for the same reason. And certainly those who do know of her wouldn’t be impressed.

I’d tell Hailey to milk it while she can, but it doesn’t seem to be doing her much good. Hey, accidental implant joke!
