Michael Bay claimed he is responsible for Megan Fox's career after she dissed "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." We're not sure who to side with here. (Unreality Mag) Jessica Biel might play the Enchantress in "Thor." What, you thought she'd play Beta Ray Bill? (Bam! Kapow!)

Game Show Attempts to Convert Atheists
In what sounds like the setup to a bad joke, a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, a Jew and 10 atheists will walk into a TV studio to tape a new Turkish game show. "Penitents Compete," the new program from the Kanal T network, will enlist spiritual guides from all four religions in the hopes of converting non-believers. Winners will get a pilgrimage to a holy site of their chosen religion. Losers, apparently, will burn in eternal hellfire.
"We are giving the biggest prize in the world, the gift of belief in God," Kanal T CEO Seyhan Soylu said. "We don't approve of anyone being an atheist. God is great, and it doesn't matter which religion you believe in. The important thing is to believe."
The game show is slated to launch in September and so far over 200 people have applied to be contestants. Now all they need to find is a Turkish Howie Mandel to host

5 Best Movie Shootout Scenes
I got around to finally watching "The International" and its much-buzzed-about Guggenheim Museum shootout scene. The sequence lives up to the hype, as "Run Lola Run" director Tom Tykwer mixes realism and surrealism to awesome effect. With this past week's release of the John Dillinger flick "Public Enemies," another film that promises to deliver some bitchin' bang-bang, it seemed like a good time to round up my all-time favorite shoot-out scenes.
Before you start in on me, the ending to "Reservoir Dogs" doesn't count, as that is clearly a standoff, not a shootout. Also, pioneering efforts like Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" melée miss the cut due to technical limitations that made the squibs in that scene look like melted red crayons. Sorry, old guys. Also left out are great TV shootouts, like the Jesse James scene from "The Brady Bunch." Sorry, Jan.
After the jump, take aim at the five best shootout scenes.

Villagers gather to watch as fishermen pull a trapped whale shark to shore in Palu bay in central Sulawesi in order to check its condition before releasing it. The giant fish strayed into a fish trap on May 24 before fishermen came to its rescue. The largest living fish species, whale sharks feed on plankton, inhabiting the world's tropic and temperate seas and are mostly sighted off the Philippines and Indonesia. The fish were previously hunted, though conservation efforts have been established in several countries.

Steal John Dillinger's Dapper Depression-Era Gangster Style
If Johnny Depp chooses to play you in a biopic, you pretty much have a cult-figure certificate of cool. The actor has selected roles that complement his own formidable mystique, like idiosyncratic director Ed Wood, gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, and hippie-ish cocaine smuggler George Jung. Add to that list John Dillinger, the infamous Great Depression-era criminal and folk hero whom Depp depicts in the new Michael Mann flick "Public Enemies." Dillinger was known for his panache, which helped him stand out even in an era filled with glamorous gangster icons. The Indianapolis-born crim's reputation was borne out of audacious plots (including supposedly once turning over a bank while pretending to film a robbery scene for an imaginary movie) and a swaggering fearlessness in the face of a massive FBI manhunt.
As evidenced by this photo, Dillinger's suave sense of style -- even under arrest -- couldn't have hindered his bid for popular notoriety and eventual Depp-stamped celluloid immortality. Check out how to score Dillinger-esque gear, after the jump.

Man Hospitalized After Nail Clipper Circumcision
Breaking the cardinal rule about keeping sharp objects away from your junk, an unnamed British man was rushed to the hospital after attempting to perform his own do-it-yourself circumcision with a pair of nail clippers. Doctors cleansed and disinfected the wound before ordering the young man to stay in a hospital bed for observation.
"This is something we would advise men never to attempt," a medic said. "The results can be quite horrific and long-lasting and have quite an affect on a man's sexual performance. Using a pair of nail clippers must have caused excruciating pain, even if he had had a few drinks beforehand."
Still, for those with the bad habit of chewing their foreskin, nail clippers are a good option.
