<![CDATA[ Wounded Marine Loses Leg, Becomes Super HOT Underwear Model, 'I Want People To Look At Me And Not Give Up' ]]>

Move over David Beckham!

Alex Minsky isn't just really, really hot—which he is.....to the Nth degree—he's also an amazing guy with a super inspiring story, and OKMagazine.com has all the details.

Minsky was just 21 years old and enlisted in the United States Marine Corp when he was injured in a horrific explosion.

The Costa Mesa native was on a tour of Afghanistan when he and his fellow Marines fell victim to a roadside bomb.

Alex immediately lost consciousness after suffering traumatic brain injuries and severe burns to his body and fell into a coma for 47 days.

When he finally awoke, he discovered he had lost his right leg as a result of his injuries and during the subsequent long rehabilitation process he fell into a deep depression and started drinking heavily.

He quickly started on a downward spiral, which was exacerbated by the tragic, sudden death of his younger brother.

“I was down,” Minsky told ABC News.  “I was numb and I was running away from everything…especially myself, my own head.”

Then, one day he decided he had to pull himself out of his funk, stop drinking and hit the gym….

And, that's when his life took a very sharp upturn!

“I didn’t want to run anymore,” he said. “I wanted to face my problems instead.”

While at the gym the now 24-year-old was spotted by a photographer.

“He approached me and said, ‘Have you ever modeled?  Like what are you?  What are you doing?’” Minsky told ABC.

Now, Alex is burning up the modeling world, showing off the results of his grueling four hour a day workout regime as an underwear and fashion model.

But, he wants to be way more than a handsome face and a rocking' body—Alex also wants to be an inspiration to other people with disabilities.

"Just because I don't have a leg doesn't mean it's going to slow me down," Minsky says. "I want people to look at me and not give up. Not quit."

<![CDATA[ Which Star Dated Tom Cruise in the '80s—but Dumped Him After One Really Bad Date? ]]>

Back in the 1980s, before Tom Cruise was the hottest young thing in Hollywood, he went on a date with an actress. One date. And then she dumped him.

Heather Locklear tells Chelsea Handler that her brief encounter with Tom quickly turned sour after they decided to go dancing.

"You know in Risky Business where he does that dance in his underwear? We were dancing in a club and he went into that," Heather says on Chelsea Lately of Tom's slick moves in his iconic 1983 film.

Heather definitely didn't buy what Tom was selling. "You just kind of stand there and don’t know what to do," she explains. "Do you dance around him? It was weird. I just sat down."

Just think, if Heather had hung in there, maybe the words TomKat and Suri Cruise wouldn't even exist…

An all male cheerleading team is burning up the internet with their jammin' dance moves and sassy attitude—and OKMagazine.com has video of their impressive performances!

The Prancing Elites of Mobile are rapidly gaining fame, and to say they can bust a move would be an understatement.

The flamboyant group has been showered with praise, and more than their fair share of haters too, but the boys are taking it all in their stride!

"We shall remain humble and continue to press forward in our future endeavors," they recently posted on their Facebook page.

"We appreciate the haters as well... because you all keep us motivated to be better.... we really appreciate the support from our supporters mostly, for standing in, in our absence and taking up for our team.... we'll continue being on the move... thanks again…"

"Sooooo former NBA star Shaquille "SHAQ" O'neal has tweeted out one of @prancingelites videos.... he titled his tweet, 'THESE DUDES B JAMMIN….'" The team posted on Facebook.

"When I tell you that video only had 3, 000 + views, and now has 13, 000 + since he tweeted less than 12 hours ago... since 2004 we've been talked about, mistreated, abused, etc in this artform... but for some reason we remained humbled and continued striving for excellence, because God says, patience is the key... 

"Good things come to those who wait... I dont know exactly whats about to happen... but all im asking is God let your will be done... Protect us on this tideous journey... Hallelujah is the highest praise....and thats all we are thinking about at this point…."

The team also emphasizes it takes hard work to be THIS fabulous!

"Thanks for the support..we work very hard to get to where we are..sometimes day in and day out..long late night practices and even early morning practices..

"We have a passion for the art of DANCE, so no matter how we perform it..its our EXPRESSION OF ART."

<![CDATA[ Why Was Shailene Woodley Cut from 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2?' ]]>

Shailene Woodley is running Hollywood right now. She's on the cover of Entertainment Weekly this week, promoting her movie Divergent as "the next Hunger Games," and it doesn't even come out for another nine months. She was also cast in another huge book adaptation, The Fault in Our Stars, and is currently filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

OK! News: See the hilarious gif of Leonardo DiCaprio breakdancing in his new movie trailer.

Or at least, she was until today. The studio behind the Spider-Man confirmed that her scenes have been cut from the film, and that this film will focus more on Emma Stone's character, Gwen Stacy.

This is super weird on many levels. Are you ready for a few of them?

One, Shailene plays the second most important character in the whole franchise (second only to Spider-Man, of course). Mary Jane Watson is his great love. Even if she only had a few scenes, they would be significant, right?

Two, Emma Stone's character Gwen Stacy was probably going to be killed in this movie. Now what? "I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship," said director Marc Webb. But... 

Three, they've been filming this movie for four months. They just decide to change the entire plot of the film?

OK! News: The Anchorman 2 trailer is out! Watch now and LOL.

Four, this is coming off news that Sony has ordered two more sequels, for 2016 and 2018. When will we meet Mary Jane, and will they recast Shailene?

Five, who can forget that deleted Emma Stone tweet, an anagram for "Andrew and Shailene sitting in a tree?"? Emma has explained that she never tweets and that her verified account was hacked, which we actually buy because Emma is such a lovely, classy gal and coded tweets about boy drama are definitely not her bag.

Six, again, they've been filming this enormously expensive movie for four months. They even filmed Gwen Stacy's death scene (probably!). Imagine calling your boss and saying, "Oh, I changed my mind. Can I have another $150 million?"

Are you disappointed that Shailene was cut from the movie? Are you excited that there will be more Emma in the movie? Tell us in the comments below or tweet us @OKMagazine.

<![CDATA[ OK! Investigates: Kardashian Klan Finances—Kylie Jenner's Net Worth And How She Makes Bank! ]]>

You don't need to be a Kardasian by blood to cash in on the name!

In the sixth installment of our special feature, OKMagazine.com is breaking down how much each star of the Keeping up With the Kardashians is worth, how they built their fortunes and where the money comes from—and next up is Kendall Jenner 's little sister, Kylie.

 

She may only be fifteen, but the youngest member of the reality Klan already has considerably more zeros on her bank balance than your average Jane—teen or not!

 

OK! Investigates: Kim Kardashian's Net Worth And How She Earned Her Fortune 

 

Kylie was born in Los Angeles, California on August 10th, 1997 to parents  Kris and Bruce Jenner.

 

In addition to Kendall, Kylie has eight other older siblings—half brother, Burt and half sister, Cassandra from her father's first marriage to Chrystie Crownover, and half brothers Brandon and Brody from Bruce's second marriage—to actress/singer Linda Thompson.

 

OK! Investigates: Khloe Kardashian's Net Worth And How She Earned Her Fortune  

 

Then, there are half sisters  Kourtney , Kim  and Khloe and half brother, Rob from mom Kris' first marriage to attorney Robert Kardashian.

 

The Kardashian name secured its place in pop culture history in February 2007 after a sex tape Kim made in 2003 with her then-boyfriend, Ray J, was leaked to the public. 

 

In October of the same year E! premiered Keeping up With the Kardashians, a reality show following the day-to-day lives of the Kardashian family along with Bruce, Kylie and Kendall.

 

OK! Investigates: Kourtney Kardashian's Net Worth And How She Earned Her Fortune  

 

Kylie was just ten years old when the show first launched and made only brief appearances throughout the first few seasons but as she has grown older, her on-camera time has grown longer.

 

 

The teen had previously stated that her main goal was to go to college, but it seems that desire is diminishing as she gets nearer to graduation age and her bank balance grows ever higher.

 

OK! Investigates: Kendall Jenner's Net Worth And How He Earned His Fortune    

 

Kylie was a cheerleader at Sierra Canyon school up until last September when Kris finally gave in to hard petitioning by her teen daughters and allowed them both to be home schooled, so they would have more flexibility to concentrate on their careers.

Not surprisingly, Bruce admitted last year that his youngest daughters' careers will likely end up coming before higher education.

OK! Investigates: Rob Kardashian's Net Worth And How He Earned His Fortune   

"If they want to go to college, certainly, I think it's a good idea," he said. " But I'm not the advocate of, 'You've got to go to college.' I think by the time they graduate from high school, they will probably be in a position to go right to working."

 

Quite the understatement when you consider how much his teen girls have already achieved!

 

OK! Investigates: Jenelle Evans' Net Worth

 

Just like Kendall, Kylie's reluctance to be seen on camera too much is reflected in the amount she earns from the $40 million deal Kris Jenner negotiated for three more years of Kardashian reality fare.

 

That said, the $5,000 an episode that Kylie scores is certainly better than 99.99% of teenagers' allowances alone!

 

Then there's the other side jobs!

 

OK! Investigates: How Much is Leah Messer Worth?

 

Once again, like Kendall, the majority of Kylie's income is derived from modeling.

 

Her first modeling gig was for Sears—who her big sisters' design a clothing label for, and she and Kendall are currently working on a teenage line for.

 

Kylie has also modeled for Girlfriend, Teen Vogue and Seventeen—for whom Kendall and Kylie are appointed "style ambassadors."

 

OK! Investigates: How Much is Chelsea Houska Worth?

 

Then there's the runway work.

 

Kylie modeled for Avril Lavigne's Collection, Abbey Dawn, during 2011 Fashion Week and for the official Hello Kitty launch for Forever 21.

 

Like the rest of the Kardashian Klan, Jenner also fills the coffers with paid-for-tweets—commanding up to $3,000 per missive to her 4 million plus followers!

 

OK! Investiagtes: How Much Is Kailyn Lowry Worth?

 

And finally….. there's the endorsements!

 

  • Opi nail polish—Kylie has two different lacquers, and Rainbow in the S-kylie is the best seller of the whole Kardashian Kolor line
  • PacSun— Kendall and Kylie collaborate on a clothing line 

 

Add it all up and Kylie has a highly respectable net worth of $1 million.

 

Check back Thursday to find out how much Bruce Jenner is worth—you won't believe the amount!
