The CW wants you to keep caring about Mario Lopez

15555__mario_l Dancing With the Stars loser runner-up Mario Lopez has inked a talent deal with the CW, which means he'll either get cast in a 2007-8 pilot or there could be an entire television show centered around Mario Lopez. Agggghhhhh! I would have put money on ABC making him the next Bachelor. (Right? Duh, ABC.) But I didn't, because I don't care about Mario Lopez. I just need to keep telling myself that. You know what a good way to start not caring about Mario Lopez would be? Stop writing blog items about Mario Lopez. That starts tomorrow. Mario Lopez Mario Lopez Mario Lopez. I am so thorougly annoyed. With myself.

IDEAS FOR MARIO'S NEW SHOW

- Would You Just Look At How Handsome He Is? Mario owns a flower shop by the seaside and goes for swims every day. Older women love, want him but he isn't havin' it. He's more interested in Mischa Barton, who it turns out has been living in that grody lifeguard shack ever since she got killed off on The O.C.

- We Swear We're Not Dating. Mario and "Kah-deena" Smirnoff go about daily life until viewers vote her off the (kitchen) island after week 3.

- Saved by the Smell. Mario loses his legs but, as the instructor of a televised yoga class for paraplegics, proves his self-worth to America because his ass is still attractive.

- Showering With Julian McMahon. Mario acquires a raging STD, takes another shower with his former Nip/Tuck co-star to wash it off. But that doesn't work, so they keep it up until it does. Which it won't.

Post your own much better ideas below.

I hope his Miss Smirnoff is aware of his history of porking other women while in a supposedly monogamous relationship. Girl, if he did that to Ally Landry (prettier than you will ever be) who by the way, he was married to, what's going to keep him from doing it again? Typical E-list behavior.

I think they should write a show about a gay guy that is a huge slut and has his clothes off every episode. it's not like women like him anyway. To the female adult population, he is a cheating manwhore. He should just play a character that appeals to gay men since all of us are manwhores to a certain degree. :)

That shower scene with Julian was hot. he needs to realize what he is good at and capialize on it. :)

I'd watch Mario and Julian showering together again. Yowza, that scene was hot!!

I guess not having a job for so many years gave him all the free time in the world to work out his amazing body. I wish I had so much free time myself.

I'm thinking "Welcome Back, Slater", in which A.C. Slater returns to Bayside to become the PE teacher and mentor to a group of students written off by everyone else. Belding's still there, of course, and there's always the opportunity for cameos during sweeps...

I say put him on CSI Miami as a corpse. It should be an easy role being that his career is already dead!

Ed Wed, Dec 6, 2006 at 01:12 PM EST

Mario Lopez is freakin' smokin'! Man, I want to see more of him shirtless! I'll watch!

Actually, Dustin Diamon's porno was released by Red Light Video this fall and is titled "Screeched". A photo of the box art (don't worry, there's no nudity) is available at :

No further details are necessary, but we should all give a collective: EWWWWWWWWW

ILoveJuice Wed, Dec 6, 2006 at 10:45 AM EST

Yep, Amy is right, "Saved by the Smell" is already Dustin Diamond's horrific porn, so that's out. (Shame on you PopWatchers for not knowing that!)

How about a show where Mario Lopez cheats on Ali Landry at his bachelor party, and she divorces him days/weeks after? There's reality for ya!

a great show for Mario Lopez would be a teen comedy. He could play a high school student, who wrestles, flexes his muscles, hits on chicks with weak pick up lines and punches lockers. They could call him....AC or something like that.

EP Sato Wed, Dec 6, 2006 at 09:57 AM EST

Mario Lopez is my favorite of all the former "Saved By the Bell" cast. He didn't become a total loser (Screech, who had to sell t-shirts to save his house), boob job 90210 cast member (Tiffany Amber Thiessen), and he didn't do any movies about Las Vegas Strippers (Elizabeth Berkley). Instead, he remained on the old b-list until his opportunity to regain fame came along in the form of a movie about Greg Luganis (sp?), and his fantastic showing on "Dancing with the Stars". He should do an English version of the Columbian hit telenovela "Descisiones", which tells sordid and raunchy telenovela style stories based on real life.

Or, he could do a campy action show and have it dubbed into really bad Spanish, with even worse English subtitles.

I like the last option. As long as they don't actually touch each other.

beachmom Wed, Dec 6, 2006 at 06:53 AM EST

how about 'the heartbreak latino'?
mario marries a starlet/ex-beauty queen and on their honeymoon, he cheats on her...2 weeks later - they're broken up!

jennie Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 10:08 PM EST

i LOVE mario Lopez, something I never thought I'd be saying until I saw Dancing with the stars. He just exudes star presence. It should be movie deals not the lowest network on the planet the CW, ugh.

jake Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 10:04 PM EST

I'm so excited for Mario -- but why in the world is it over at the CW -- ABC should have signed him up. He made DWTS a must watch this season.

Chris Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 09:49 PM EST

They should make an AC Slater show!

junior Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 09:27 PM EST

I like the first option, gives you a little eye candy and maybe he can cook some Spanish food to fatten up Mischa...

...Mark, it's called an accusation for a reason. Obviously, DWTS wouldn't have knowingly put a date rapist on their show unless those accusations proved false...

Mark Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 08:41 PM EST

wait a second....didn't Mario get accused of date rape a few years back ??? funny how no one mentions that...

Amy Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 07:26 PM EST

I have terrible news...the title "Saved by the Smell" is already the title of Dustin Diamonds sex tape.

brandonk Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 06:54 PM EST

Wow...somebody has a nice body! Hint: his name starts with "M" and ends with "ooooooh!"

McGee Tue, Dec 5, 2006 at 06:36 PM EST

TOO FUNNY! I don't know what you've been smoking, but I want some.
