The Bigger Picture with Timothy Spangler: Dec 14 Hour 1

Kim Kardashian is going to Saudi Arabia!

Rumors are circulating that she has accepted a longstanding invitation from a Saudi prince to spend an evening with him in exchange for $1 million.

An indecent proposal, perhaps? 

Although a frequent visitor to glitzy Dubai, Kim's other trips to the region have not always gone well. In 2012, a trip to Bahrain to open a milkshake franchise sparked protests, with police firing tear gas to break up the demonstrations.

Let's just hope that Kim remembers to pack her abaya. We don't want her to violate the strict Saudi dress codes!

Meanwhile, the world continued to lurch from one ridiculous story to another:

* A surprise has been found in Queen Elizabeth's garden at Buckingham Palace: magic mushrooms!

* A Tokyo restaurant announced couples will not be welcome at the eatery on Christmas Eve because the sight of them would make single customers feel lonely.

* A Scottish police officer attempting to make an arrest on a farm had to call for backup due to his fear of cows.

* Authorities in New Zealand announced they seized a haul of imported moist towelettes that were found to be soaked in about a gallon of liquid meth.

* A pair of Egyptian men are highlighting the struggles of Cairo residents with a photo project featuring Spider-Man tackling everyday activities.
