OPRAH GIVES AUDIENCE $4.5 MILLION WORTH OF GIFTS
 Talk
show host Oprah Winfrey was in a charitable mood on the November
22nd show, as she gave 300 teachers in her studio audience
$4.5 million in gifts, the New York Post reports. Some of
the items given to the stunned audience members included a
washer/dryer, Sony laptop computer, car navigation system
and 30-inch LCD TV.
The stunt was all part of the annual "Oprah's Favorite
Things" show, where each holiday season she furnishes
the studio audience with extravagant gifts. This year's "Favorite

that last year's items worth $4,800 per person.
