OPRAH IS THE MOST CHARITABLE CELEB

Oprah was in good spirits as she posed at The Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney today (December 11).

The talk show maven is in Australia with 302 audience members from the US, Canada and Jamaica and will tape episodes of the 25th and final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show from the Sydney Opera house next week.

The shows will air in the US and Australia in January 2011.

Meanwhile, this may come as no surprise, but Oprah is the most giving celeb around. (Take that, Brangelina!)

The Giving Back Fund ranked her its No. 1 charitable celeb since she gave more than $40 million this year.

She should be used to being on top though since last year was her only year not at the top of the list. It went to Paul Newman in 2009.
