What The Heck Did She Say?

You feel terrible for her or you’re still rolling on the floor laughing. Either way Lauren Caitlin Upton sure is making a name for herself… and it’s not because the beauty pageant contestant walked away with the title of Miss Teen USA Friday night. She didn’t. But, I don’t think many people noticed. Rather, most viewers who tuned into the Donald Trump owned pageant on Friday night were trying to figure out what the teen was trying to say when she fought to answer a question posed by show host Mario Lopez. Upton was asked, “Recent polls have shown a … Continue reading

Mario Lopez Lands the Miss America Gig

I never paid that much attention to Mario Lopez until I watched “Dancing with the Stars” last season. I was a little too old to have grown up with “Saved by the Bell” and really did not notice anything else he had done. But, I became a fan after seeing him and partner Karina go to the Dancing finals. Now, Mario has landed another job. He told the Associated Press today that he would be the new host of the Miss America pageant. The pageant will be held on January 29th live from the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las … Continue reading

Mario Lopez Back with Karina Smirnoff?

Just which lucky lady IS Mario Lopez dating? Apparently, his dates include almost all the available women in Hollywood. As Michele reported, he was seen with newly single Britney Spears on the streets of Las Vegas last week, although her former manager Larry Rudolph was also tagging along, so I am not sure how much of a “date” this was. Eva Longoria, was present during many tapings of “Dancing with the Stars” wearing her “Vote for Mario” t-shirt. Although the two stars claim to be merely old friends, tongues have been wagging about a potential love match between these two … Continue reading

Britney and Mario?

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. And in the paparazzi filled world of entertainment it usually happens sooner than later… the latest gossip: pop princess Britney Spears parties the night away with Mario “I got robbed on ‘Dancing with the Stars’” Lopez. Fresh from filing divorce from her Kevin “Fed-Ex” Federline, Spears has reportedly taken her post-breakup tour to Las Vegas. According to PEOPLE magazine, Spears hit the streets of Sin City with a group of friends including Lopez and her former manager Larry Rudolph. (Why is she hanging out with a “former” manager?) According to the … Continue reading

Maybe THIS Is Why Mario Didn’t Win

At about 8:00:02 p.m. last night the phone rang. I picked up to hear a voice on the other end hiss: “Mario was robbed.” It took me a minute to figure out that the voice belonged to my friend and former colleague and that “Mario” was Mario Lopez from “Dancing with the Stars” (and not my cousin Mario). Yes, sadly, “Super Mario” couldn’t come up with enough votes to declare victory and walk away with the blinged out disco ball trophy, but now word comes that there may been something besides lack of fan support that could have skewed the … Continue reading

Emmitt and Mario: Dancing Up a Storm

It is one of the most popular shows on television and tonight is the finale. I am talking of course, about “Dancing with the Stars.” Tonight, we find out who will win the title of Dancing King (there are no females in the finale). What a race it has been up to this point! Since the get-go, actor Mario Lopez and football great Emmitt Smith have had a great run – with a few exceptions. Emmitt stumbled a bit early on in the competition and Mario was chastised for breaking the rules of the Tango. But even a low score … Continue reading
