The ultra-plush Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi is displaying the world’s most expensive Christmas tree valued at $7 million and decorated with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and gold jewelry.  It even has a real star on top -- not a star-shaped ornament -- an actual star, Elton John. 

A pot grower in Berlin was caught with a six-foot tall marijuana plant he'd decorated as a Christmas tree.  Suspicious authorities investigated further when they noticed it was flashing on and off by itself.

One of several caskets used in 1973 to bury JFK’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, is up for sale.  If you’re willing to pay a little bit more, you can get the one that he’s still in.

Blake Edwards, producer of the widely popular 1960’s Pink Panther movies has died in Hollywood at age 88.  The cartoon character became well-known all over the world and especially in France where he was referred to as the “gay jungle creature.”

In a KFC-sponsored contest, an Ohio high-schooler won a $20,000 college scholarship for a tweet that best argued why she needed the money.  However, the Colonel asked for his money back after learning she plans to major in nutrition.
