Big news: Mario Lopez has a VH1 reality show! I mean, on the one hand, of course he does, because everyone has a VH1 reality show. If there’s ever a lull in my conversations with friends and family, I just ask “How’s your VH1 reality show?” and it always goes over really well. But honestly, if anyone “deserves” a VH1 reality show it’s probably Mario Lopez because Mario Lopez is one of the most earnest famous people I’ve ever seen.
Do you ever watch Extra? I “have to,” “for work,” and I’ll go ahead and just keep telling myself that. The content of Extra is not fascinating, but this is: Mario Lopez is always bounding around the set, feigning fairly believable interest in some of the most marginal of entertainment news topics. I couldn’t do that with a straight face if you paid me multiple heaps of gems per take. And he doesn’t ever seem like he’s phoning it in! Mario Lopez is an equal-opportunity earnestness monger. He blows my mind, then turns me on, then slaps my ass and calls me Sally.
I may not be interested in watching this fall’s “untitled docusoap” chronicling “Lopez and his Courtney Mazza as they prepare for the birth of their first child,” but I do have to hand it to Mario Lopez in general. This guy used to be A.C. Slater and now he’s this major pop culture fixture. I mean, look at Screech. No, don’t.
Is anyone scrappier than Mario Lopez? I feel like the “IT’S SO FLUFFY!” girl in Despicable Me. “HE’S SO SCRAPPY!”

He was also one of the celebrities at Monday night’s MLB all-star game.
He has an odd longevity, but I associate scrappy with a fighter. Not necessarily a former HS wrestler
Didn’t Screech write a tell-all explaining how NBC paid off a girl to not file rape charges on Lopez?
Didn’t Screech write a tell-all that had absolutely no basis in fact?
What happened to VH1 having “classy” reality shows?
Mario Lopez is the same guy whose first marriage to Ali Landry lasted like ONE WEEK because he constantly cheated on her, even right before their wedding day.
not a fan of him….
Is that really Dustin Diamond’s web site? It looks like it was created circle Saved by the Bell. 90% of “mommybloggers” have better web sites!
circa Saved by the Bell, rather.
Phillip – you said exactly what i wanted to say and i will add dirt bag to it.
If you take the s away, my answer is no one?
That was not a question. Sorry.
REALLY, Mario Lopez??? Have you lost your f***ing mind? The man is a total DB and the most accurate TV commentary comment that you can make is that EXTRA and VH1 are ignorant asses for allowing him on the tube.
that website was MAGNIFICENT.
Mario Lopez is such a cheeseball
I love the guy!
