    Oprah Giving Away $300 Bottles Of Jay-Z’s Champagne For ‘Favorite Things’

    Don Arnold/WireImageJust because Oprah's talk show is no longer on the air doesn't mean she's canceling her insanity-inducing "Favorite Things" giveaway! The mogul-messiah rolls out the 2011 lineup in the December issue of O magazine ( via People.com) and -- with no studio audience around to go nuts on camera -- only 12 readers stand a chance to score the swag.

    Among the gifts:

    • A $300 bottle of "Jay-Z's champagne." The rapper's selection is supposed to be really crappy, but if it's free, who cares?
    • Scented candles worth $45. (We don't know for sure but we're guessing they smell like apricot and vanilla and golden-retriever puppies.)
    • MUST EAT NOW: $46 seven-layer caramel cake, personally selected by Gayle King, who actually has a really sophisticated palate.
    • Marigot Collection's $412 cashmere robe and $234 pajamas.
    • A $240 at-home sound system.
    • A $108 python-patterned carry-on bag.
    • Dr. Oz's "feel-good" fuzzy slippers, worth $45.

    (Don't ask us why but we're picturing Kanye West on the phone with his people asking them to call Oprah's people to pull some strings. Not gonna work, Kanye.)

      Oprah Look at this Investment please. Please read 98+/- acre farm 10 min from Huntsville. (Huntsville Alabama)
      I need your serious attention. $1,300,000.00 for 98 +/- acre farm 10 min from Huntsville. Metal building with two roll up doors one walk thru door. Two springs - one is wet weather and the other is ever lasting which would easily feed a catfish farm. The farm was planted in corn this year. It has two entrances into it. Very private place! Unbelievable breath taking view! I think if your in search of a farm you will fall in love with this one. Already has underground utilities and telephone on it. This farm is great by itself or a developer could make beautiful mini farms.
      Also available and some commercial land on Hwy 431S in the Hampton Cove area. It can be used for Corporate Development too.
      Serious inquiries only please call: 256-990-9003
