The Sundance film festival has devolved into a swag grab and party circuit for the untalented "famous for being famous" D-Lister set.

When Hulk Hogan's ex wife shows up at the party, the shark has officially jumped.
The event used to draw the top echelon of actors, but no longer.
Fox news reports that Robert Redford's 25-year-old independent film festival has alienated the A-list crowd and serves now as a photo-op staging playground for the famous non-entities to gather up expensive free swag, swill booze and make a scene.
Hulk Hogan's ex wife Linda Bollea was making a show in what was described as "a terrible fur coat and pink lipstick," as Bollea led her "19-year-old boytoy Charlie Hill up and down Main Street to fully utilize the photo op."
The paparazzi assembled at the festival ate the two up with a spoon, causing traffic snarls, and event veterans to wonder what has happened to the once prestigious festival.
Fox reporters noted that like other D Listers, Linda Bollea fed at the trough of freebies, allegedly helping herself to swag at House of Hype, St. Ives Spa and the Hollywood Life House "for a free Fake Bake tan." She asked vendors to take her pictures as she grabbed, according to Fox.
She was not the only Bollea at the festival: Son Nick - released from a prison sentence for negligence in causing life-altering injuries to his friend John Graziano - also attended.
Not to be outdone by the Bollea clan, perennial D Lister and ridiculously thin Paris Hilton "flew in on the posh private plane Friday evening after hanging around the L.A hangar at a VIP cocktail party with 30 tons of real snow, accompanied by Brittany Snow (plus her co-stars in the Sundance hit "The Vicious Kind") and Demi Moore," according to Fox.
Also made at the snowy film festival were Aubrey O'Day, Sarah Larson, Tila Tequila's ex Courtenay Semel and Kevin Federline's ex Shar Jackson.
Fox noted that Shar "was apparently so desperate for freebies she drove all the way up with her kids from Los Angeles just to attend the gifting lounges."
