Megan Fox pitted against Megan Gale for Wonder Woman

Melbourne, Nov 7 : Aussie actress Megan Gale’s role as Wonder Woman met an online challenge from actress Megan Fox’s fans, who wanted the latter to play the role of the super-heroine.

After a very convincing poster campaign and web report, Warner Bros, the US studio behind the stalled production of Justice League Of America, in which Gale is signed to star, was forced to deny reports about the change.

In the poster, Fox was mocked up in the movie-style trailer, and it also had political-type slogans, including, “It’s time for a new ‘W’” and an Obama-esque “A real change is coming”.

London, Nov 7 : A teenage boy who pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old has been spared from going to jail by a judge who said, “Boys will be boys, girls will be girls.”

Judge Christopher Ball QC instead imposed a 12- month supervision order on the boy, and told him that it was a lesson he had to learn.
