Mario Lopez Shows Off

Ain't too proud to beg ... for attention
Thursday, June 19th, 2008

As much as I’d love to spend the day talking about bulges and babies, there is other goss to be had … and other hawtness to be gawked at … here is a pic of Mario Lopez as he made his way out of the Schoenfeld Theatre in NYC yesterday (where he is currently starring in A Chorus Line on Broadway) showing off his centerfold pic in the new Hottest Bachelors of 2008 issue of People magazine:


In this issue, Mario (who was chosen at the Hottest of the Hottest Bachelors of 2008 by the mag) recreates at least 2 famous photos of other celebs in various states of undress. The first pic we saw yesterday was a recreation of one of the famous Marky Mark Wahlberg for Calvin Klein underwear pics and this centerfold is a recreation of the famous Burt Reynolds nekkid on a bearskin rug pic. Because I’ve yet to see the issue, I’m not sure if Mario recreates many other famous photos like this … tho, I’d love it if he had recreated the other famous nekkid Burt Reynolds pic. You gotta love that Mario was a good sport about shooting these pics … I’m curious to see just how much love to give ;)

Meet The Hottest Bachelors Of 2008

... according to People magazine
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

People magazine just revealed its list of the Hollywood’s Hottest Bachelors of 2008, choosing Mario Lopez to top the list. Here are a few pics of some of the bachelors who made their list this year and a portion of People’s interview with Mario Lopez:


Mario Lopez may be PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor – but the A Chorus Line star and fitness buff has a shocking admission: He was a chubby baby. “I looked like a sumo wrestler,” Lopez says in a new interview. “My mom had to pull the fat folds apart when she bathed me!” But that’s all in his past. As fans know, Lopez has mined his love of fitness to create his own book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness. The exercise guru, who is recently single, says that a full slate of projects has kept him off the dating market but that hasn’t stopped him from thinking about dating completely. “I like a girl who’s from a modest sort of upbringing, because it’s more relatable,” he says, explaining what he looks for in a potential girlfriend. “I’m a first-generation American. My parents [Elvia and Mario Sr.] emigrated from Mexico and live in the same house I grew up in Chula Vista, Calif. I’d feel weird if the girl was a little too uppity or affluent, because I’m a very down-home kind of guy.”

It’s interesting that Mario was chosen to top the list of People’s Hottest Bachelors because he *just* broke up with his girlfriend Karina Smirnoff (of Dancing with the Stars fame) just a few weeks ago (I wonder who the #2 guy was/is). In any event, the full list of bachelors who made the cut this year is revealed in the new issue of People magazine (which hits newsstands on Friday) but People.com has a gallery of some of the guys who made the cut. I totes understand why dudes like Adam Levine, Terrance Howard and Gerard Butler made the list but I’m surprised that Bryan Spears (Britney’s older brother) and Hunter Johansson (Scarlett’s twin brother) made the list. Neither one is a big name in Hollywood and, yet, they still are listed among the hottest bachelors in Hollywood. Something tells me that the People list was pretty thin so they had to beef it up with extraneous family guys (not that either Bryan or Hunter aren’t hawt enough, I just think they’re not famous enough). In any event, congrats (?) goes out to the lucky dudes who made the list … I suppose kudos are in order for being hawt and single.
