Everybody Wing Chun Tonight: Who wins in a fight, the bruiser or the blur? We'll find out for real—well, movie real—when unstoppable heavyweight Iron Mike Tyson takes on Donnie Yen's famed martial arts grandmaster Ip Man in Ip Man 3. (Skip ahead to 0:52 of the trailer below to see Iron Mike taking the stuffing out of a speed bag and/or Yen's ribcage). Whose fists are faster?

Manning slammed the report as "garbage," and key source Charlie Sly has recanted his statements made on hidden camera, although reporter Deborah Davies says she stands by her reporting. The challenge represents a major test for the Dubai-based network scrabbling for a foothold in the American cable TV market.

That's a Lot of Calamari: Some onlookers in Japan's Toyama Bay caught sight of a real-life kaiju on Christmas Eve: a giant squid. This little guy—they grow to a reported 43 feet—was just chillin' by a pier, where divers got up close and personal.
