Underwear Model + Marine Alex Minsky Wowed Us on Jay Leno Last Night (6 photo)

Alex Minsky is a real American hero, but he’s also a real sexy American underwear model now. And last night, he was a real cutie on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.’ On the June 26 show, former Marine and underwear model Alex Minsky was one of the guests and it was adorable. He kept looking to his mom in the audience because he was so nervous! He also explained that when he lost his leg in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan, his jaw was also broken in four places. (When Leno’s other guest, Whitney Cummings, saw photos of Minsky’s underwear modeling, she mused “I could break my jaw in four places, too.” Girl, you just did not.) Minsky is a tattooed hunk, and we’re not sure why he didn’t start modeling before he took off for war because DAMN. Boy has got IT. Check out Minsky on Leno below, and underneath that you’ll find some delightful photos of the former marine and underwear model, posing for UnderwearExpert.

Holy Crap, Neville from ‘Harry Potter’ Got Sexy (6 photo)

In the ‘Harry Potter’ films, Harry has a little friend named Neville who’s kind of dorky, awkward, and mousy, and doesn’t quite fit in with everyone else because he’s a timid little thing. But you guys, that kid — whose real name is Matthew Lewis — grew up to be really hot. What is in the water in England and when can we send things there to make them look this good?! Actor Matthew Lewis is all grown up and all grown sexy. In the ‘Potter’ movies, he was really dorky and his front teeth were adorably kind of crooked, and then BOOM. Puberty hit and gave us the greatest example of puberty doing what it does best. Lewis got like, super hot. Possibly even hotter than Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. Now he’s got this sexy Clive Owen thing going on with his strong eyebrows and gentle eyes, and that smile that could probably power your entire apartment. You look at him and you just let out a neverending “whaaaaaaaaat.” Currently, you can see Lewis on the BBC series ‘The Syndicate.’ So maybe figure out which channel in your lineup is the BBC, okay?

Oprah, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift 2013's Most Powerful Celebrities (10 photo)

She spent the past two years in the paltry No. 2 slot, but Oprah Winfrey is back — she’s been named Forbes’ Most Powerful Celebrity of 2013. The Forbes list reveals the big O raked in $77 million between June of 2012 and the same month this year. Other stars who ranked lower may have earned more, but since the list involves an algorithm that takes into account “entertainment-related earnings plus media visibility (exposure in print, television, radio and online),” the media queen reigned supreme. Coming in second place this year was Lady Gaga, who earned $80 million and was ranked third in social media (bested only by Rihanna and Justin Bieber). Director Steven Spielberg came in No. 3 overall thanks to his movie ‘Lincoln’ and an impressive $100 million in earnings. He’s outranked in terms of money only by Madonna, who made $125 million and took the No. 5 slot on the Forbes list. Meanwhile, Beyonce came in at No. 4, while her husband Jay-Z landed at No. 32. You can head over to Forbes for the full list of 100 celebs, but here’s the Top 10 for your immediate perusing pleasure: http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

Iconic Cars In Film Brilliantly Brought Back To Life (7 photo)

Sometimes the most memorable scenes from films are not those staring the actors, but actually the props. Remember when you first saw the classic Ecto-1 car from Ghostbuster hurling through the streets of New York? Or the stylish sleek Batmobile speeding along chasing those dastardly villains? And what about the Delorean car from Back to the Future – how badly did we all want a ride that? Each car is not etched in movie folklore, constantly referenced in popular culture and are now established as iconic moments from the films they starred in. Just like many film fans, exceptional Turkish photographer Cihan Ünalan loves these classic cars as well – so much so that he has created his own magnificent tribute to them. He has single-handily built small models of each famous car, photographing them in crisp detail. You can see more of his incredible efforts and entire the series Cars We Love right here.

An Intimate Look At Where Your Facebook 'Likes' Are Stored (14 photo)

Roughly 1 person in 7 on the entire planet has a Facebook account. It is now ubiquitous in our everyday lives and whether you treat the company with suspicion or welcome it’s influence with open arms, it has fundamentally changed the way the world communicates. We’ve already taken you on a walk down the corridors of power at Facebook and even given you a behind the scenes look at exactly how the perfect profile picture is created but today we’re looking at the very core of the site. Its data. With over a billion users updating their status, sharing photos and uploading videos, do any of us have any idea where it’s all housed and stored? Facebook has a frankly ginormous data warehouse which tracks and keeps all your information, details and likes under lock and key. But few have seen it until now. Thanks to our friends at Ned Hardy, here’s 14 photographs that take you deep into the very foundations of Facebook itself, the vault of Big Brother and a place where a billion stories are documented. Is it what you expected? http://nedhardy.com/2013/06/25/a-few-awesome-pictures-from-facebooks-new-data-center/

Dazzling Origami Creatures Designed To Impress (8 photo)

Vietnamese origami artist Nguyễn Hùng Cườngis responsible for these dazzling paper works of art. You need two things to be a great origami artist, a vivid imagination and the patience of a Saint – something that Nguyen clearly has in abundance. From threatening scorpions to silverback gorillas and even sophisticated mice – he can do it all. “I have learned origami mainly from books… there are a lot of great origami books from creators all over the world. I am always amazed by the way they can fold whatever they want using just one uncut square, so when I design my own models, I also try to use one square only” The question you have to ask is, where can he go next? Whatever subject he chooses, rest assured it will be a impressive as these works.

Maybe you live someplace where fireworks are illegal. Maybe secretly every time you hear some go off you are momentarily terrified that somebody on a neighboring block has just been shot to death. Maybe both (Brooklyn, rep!). Here is a nice way to enjoy fireworks without the illegality or panic-inducing bangs — GIFs!

10 Tasty Plants vs Zombies Cakes (10 photo)

Arlight, seriously, who can honestly say they don't appreciate a well made, crafty cake? Anyne? Nope, didn't think so. We all love cake, and we love to see how creative some people can get with their video game inspired desserts. We’ve already done a feature on 20 Tasty Angry Birds Cakes, so let’s tackle another popular iOS title — Plants vs Zombies. Most of these cake concoctions look the same, but we’re betting they all taste like flowers and sunshine instead of zombie brains and shotgun pellets.

10 Best Dads of Gaming (11 photo)

Since Father’s Day is meant to honor and celebrate fatherhood, it is only right that we take the time to remember the most important fathers in the video game artform with this list of the 10 Best Dads of Gaming. Biological or not, father figures can play a keen influence on the interpretation of a character. Traditionally, a good father will produce good offspring (and vice versa), but we have started to see games change this dynamic over the past two decades. Many of these dads are overlooked in their actions, whether it is getting a character ready to go out into the world, or saving it completely. Today, we pay homage to the 10 Best Dads of Gaming.

10 Best Modes of Transportation in RPGs (10 photo)

Coinciding with the celebration of Father’s Day, we remember the various times in RPG history when we were first given the keys to modes of transportation that helped us in saving the world. Usually given to the player later on, vehicles were a sign of progression throughout the narrative of a role-playing game. After exploring various parts of the world, you were typically given a way of travel to help speed up the process of tying up loose ends in preparation for the final battle. A long time ago, when world maps were actually explorable and not simply a list to choose towns/destinations from, vehicles and animals were always highly anticipated as players walked around the world. Keep some Gysahl Greens handy and make sure the e-brake is disengaged, because we’re paying homage to the 10 Best Modes of Transportation in RPGs.

10 Great Gaming Magazines (10 photo)

Print media is very slowly going the way of the dinosaur, what with the internet enabling online publications to sit on the journalism throne. Still, gaming journalism had to have its start somewhere and that start was in the humble gaming magazine. You know, those things we actually paid monthly subscriptions for in order to read reviews of games that had actually been out for a few weeks. So let’s take a stroll down memory lane and look at 10 Great Gaming Magazines from both the past and the present. And yes, the irony of this article being published on an online gaming site has not escaped us.

102-Year-Old Ship in Sydney Became A Floating Forest (6 photo)

For all those whose heart starts beating faster when they see something old and abandoned, Homebush Bay in Sydney is the place to visit. This is were many 20th century ships, which are no longer used, ended up: one of them, the SS Ayrfield, is definitely the most impressive sight for all the lush flora, growing in its rusted hull. The fully-grown mangrove trees earned this 102-year-old, 1,140-tonne ship the Floating Forest name among the locals. The SS Ayrfield served as a collier on the sixty-miler run between Newcastle and Sydney and would transport the supplies to American troops in the Pacific Ocean. The ship was brought to the Bay back in 1972 to be dismantled, but the operations eventually ceased and the bay no longer served as a ship wrecking yard. The SS Ayrfield, along with many other ships that were used during WW2, were simply left there to decay. Besides its history for ship-breaking and the spooky ship cemetery, Homebush Bay is home to the Olympic Stadium today as well. Although there are people, passionate about photographing various abandoned objects, many tourists are drawn to the bay because of the Floating Forest alone. What a sight!

10 Unforgettable Non-Human Video Game Companions (10 photo)

While it might be easy for players to identify the bonds that exist between two human characters in video games, there should be an acknowledgement of the non-human characters that go above and beyond the call of assistance. These characters connect to gaming protagonists in a way that most other human characters cannot and tend to exhibit an unparalleled form of dedication to their counterparts. Without these characters, the games in which they appear would not feel the same. Be prepared to do the impossible, because you’re not alone as we present our list of 10 Unforgettable Non-Human Video Game Companions.

Unexpected Pin-Up Portraits Explore Feminine Beauty (11 photo)

These oil on canvas paintings by artist Emily Burns explore contemporary concepts of female beauty. The artist's experimental portraits, a series entitled Deer Girls, feature sensual, feminine figures paired with deer heads. The realistic pin-up girl portraits stimulate a curiosity about the natural blend between human and animal. By eliminating the face, Burns removes a viewer's natural instinct to form a personal connection with the subjects. This lack of human identity creates an environment where the objectification of the feminine form is inevitable.

Pixar Franchises in Infographics (10 photo)

We decided to also look back, at the Pixar franchises that came before it. And because everyone loves math and graphs, we decided to do so via infographics. We examine the difference between a bug’s life and A Bug’s Life, how Brave’s Princess Merida resembled Game of Thrones’ Stark kids, what Wall-E was really about, the breakdown of ingredients in Ratatouille’s ratatouille, and more.

The Greatest Movie Scenes Ever (32 photo)

Much to the dismay of screenwriters, movies scripts aren't always set in stone. They are often like living objects constantly evolving during the filming process. Some films, like Jaws and Annie Hall, don't even have a finished script when the cameras start to roll. Actors and actresses are regularly ad libbing, improvising or going off-script while reciting their lines. Sometimes the directors hate it - other times they love it. Occasionally the improved lines become immortalized as some of the most memorable in cinema history. Check out these 32 great unscripted scenes - you may be surprised at how many of your favorite lines were off-the-cuff.

7 Real Concerns Men Should Have Before Going on Vacation (8 photo)

It’s summertime, which means you’ll probably take a week off for vacation to relax. But a vacation can be anything but relaxing. A new British survey has found men’s biggest concern before going on holiday (as those wacky Brits call it) is getting rid of their beer belly (which, as we all know, is false). This fear is misplaced, however, because there are plenty of other matters men need to fret over before packing and heading out for some R and R:

Rosario Dawson Makes Like Rihanna and Shaves Half Her Head (4 photo)

This is one trend we don’t get, but hey, celebs are all about it and they’re the ones (allegedly) setting the style rules. Actress Rosario Dawson, who sports a lush, thick mane of glossy dark hair, has shaved half her head — a look we’ve also seen on Rihanna and Jenna Jameson, to name only a few. As you can see from the photo, Dawson has thinned her mane and sheared off a good portion of it. It’s a punk rock look. She was spotted with her new ‘do, casually flipped to one side, while on set of her new film ‘Finally Famous.’ (Yes, that’s Chris Rock in the background. He does not, for the record, have a half-shaved head. He’s just close-cropped.) While Dawson is gorgeous and can take a lot of style risks and liberties, we’re still baffled about why the stars are doing this. Is there some need to be “punk rock” that truly took off when Miley Cyrus decided that chopping off her hair was the edgy and cool thing to do? (God help us when Miley is the yardstick by which hair trends are measured.) Regardless, it’s just hair and it grows back. We hope.

Now That Their Gay Friends Can Marry, Kristen Bell Proposes on Twitter (4 photo)

Thanks to the Supreme Court, it was a big day for gay rights in America today — not only can California resume marrying gay couples, the federal government must now bestow gay married couples the same list of 1000+ benefits that married straight couples get. This means it’s also a big day for all those celebrity couples who’ve said they wouldn’t marry until their gay compatriots had the same rights they have. First up? Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. The couple, who’s been engaged for almost three years, told CNN in an interview last August that they do want to marry, but not until everyone has the right to do so. Bell, who recently gave birth to a baby daughter with Shepard said, “I don’t believe in standing in the way of love, and I want to stand up for that right. If someone wants to commit their life to another person, why would I not bolster that argument?” Shepard went so far as to say that, for them, having a wedding before marriage was a right all Americans (especially those who would be invited to theirs) enjoyed “would just be tacky.” But with today’s new ruling, it seems that wedding bells will soon ring for the two. Shortly after she heard the news, the ‘Veronica Mars’ star tweeted this adorable proposal.

Seth Rogen, James Franco assassinate Kim Jong-Un in The Interview (1 photo + 1 video)

According to a recent interview, Seth Rogen and his This Is The End (our review) co-writer Evan Goldberg have finished writing, and plan to start shooting The Interview in October, with James Franco co-starring. “It’s about two journalists that try to assassinate the president of North Korea while interviewing him,” Rogen told us at last night’s premiere of his new movie This Is the End. “It’s Kim Jong-un,” Rogen dished. “Literally King Jong-un in the movie. We figured it’s North Korea, you might as well make it Kim Jong-un.” “James and Seth play reporters who get an interview with the dictator of North Korea and the CIA asks them to kill him,” Rogen’s Interview producer pal Evan Goldberg added. “They’re going to play a–holes.” [E!] The playing-themselves thing seems to have worked out pretty well in This is the End, which has almost doubled its profit already thus far, so why not apply it to the dictator of North Korea? His dad loved movies, maybe Jong-Un will even agree to be in it. He could play a coke-addled, blowjob-getting version of himself like Michael Cera in This is the End. Or maybe play against type by hilariously not executing people. Like, maybe some guy comes up and insults Kim Jong-Il and Kim Jong-Un just laughs and slaps him on the back and gives him a big roast beef sandwich. OR, since This is the End worked so well, maybe the plot could be that boys hole up in James Franco’s house to smoke weed during a North Korean invasion. Green Dawn, they could call it. Really, the possibilities are endless. http://www.eonline.com/news/426258/james-franco-and-seth-rogen-going-to-north-korea-to-kill-kim-jong-un-in-new-movie
