Mario Lopez: My Shirtless Days are Over, Except When They're Not
He tells People he's through with beefcake: "My shirtless photo-shoot days are behind me. Obviously, being healthy and staying fit are important to me. My TV projects are my main priority. And no, you will never see me host Extra without a shirt."
However: "Lopez says he is 'thrilled' to be reprising the role of Dr. Mike Hamoui on the cable series [Nip/Tuck], with Dr. Mike moving to Los Angeles – where he can once again gain the attention of the ab-admiring Dr. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) in the locker room. 'A small spoiler,' says Lopez. 'Dr. Mike might not be taking anymore showers at the gym with Christian, but he will lose his shirt.'"

I don't care how cheesy or "B-list" he is. I'll always hope that one day Mario Lopez will knock on the door to my apartment hoping to borrow a cup of sugar, having recently lost his shirt during the walk up the stairs. He's much like Ricky Martin in that the older he gets, the yummier he gets.

Shoot, if doesn't pull off his shirt, I will. Why deprive the world of seeing his beautiful torso? Silly boy, beautiful body.

Nice picture, but he's no Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise.

OK, everybody. Now you know what to get me for Xmas.

what, MIKE, laser hair removal?

And as soon as his career spirals downward, that shirt will come off faster than you can say Nair Cream Hair Removal.

He has a career?
Posted by: anon | Sep 15, 2008 3:11:11 PM
SOULBROTHA',
I think you're right (I'm still laughing) He better use that body while he can.
JJ,
no, he's no Brad Pitt 20 years ago, but I'm sure he tastes just as good. Butterscotch is as tasty as vanilla.
All right, stop it. Aint nothin' worse that getting horny on a Monday. 'Course I'll be watching my Eagles in their tight-ass uniforms kicking Cowboy booty tonight...I'll be even hornier, dammit.

..I don't care how good looking Mario he..he has NO morals...any man who CHEATS on his NEW wife on thier Honeymoon is a LOUSE! I mean..come on..on his Honeymoon??? Gay/str8/whatever..if the mans head was any bigger....aaargh!
Posted by: Disgusted American | Sep 15, 2008 3:14:12 PM
Well, it's not like he's got much else but that body to go on. I'm with the rest, the shirt will be coming off as soon as it becomes apparent that he's a nice house with nobody living in it.

.. much envy for Brad Pitt ?? .. ya think ?

Derrick, you and Soulbrotha are spot-on as usual. He's just using what the Lord gave him, trying to get his before the bod starts to move south. He might be a dim bulb, but I'm willing to be that Mr. Lopez is holding a truckload of shares of Berkshire Hathaway, and will be comfortable in his old age. I love a hottie who can invest. Bless his heart.
And "Disgusted American" can just climb down off that high horse. Who's to say that girl didn't know exactly what was going on? We don't know their lives. And frankly, if my whole career hinged on my scorching hottitude, then I'd probably have a big head too. It'll all work out in the end, sugar. :-)

Oh, and Derrick... while you're fanning yourself in front of Monday Night Football, you might want to take a moment on Saturday afternoons and watch the Buckeyes play. That James Laurinaitis on the defense is a sight to behold. If the NFL doesn't work out, Titan Media should give him a call.
Posted by: The Milkman | Sep 15, 2008 4:06:34 PM
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! except when its YEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Posted by: Alex Paris | Sep 15, 2008 4:12:08 PM
Thanks, THE MILKMAN.\
Laurinaitis, hunh? All right, I'll lookin' out for him. Those football players know exactly what kind of effect they have with those tight-ass uniforms. It's one of the most glorious aspects (on pun intended) of American culture!
God Bless America! God Bless NFL uniforms (and the college boys' too).

JK ..FYI..his NEW wife did NOT know what was going on...she was Audra Landry from the comedy show "EVE"..and being Gay myself...I aint blind, and she is absolutely Beautful...when she found out - she had thier Marriage Annulled ASAP! Sorry to burst your bubble Mario may be HOT,but he's a creep.
Posted by: Disgusted American | Sep 15, 2008 4:43:40 PM
Is it just me? Or are his nipples too small?
It is better to have large nipples on mocha skin, n'est-ce pas?
Posted by: JeffNYC | Sep 15, 2008 4:53:27 PM
Well who knows... maybe he did do her wrong. I ain't lookin' to take him home to meet my mother, sugarpie... it would just be a physical thing. We all have our talents, and maybe monogamy just isn't Mario's bag. Doesn't necessarily mean he's a creep, it just means he was with the wrong girl. Glad they got it straightened out.
Jeff, you're right. Perhaps there's some sort of nipple-plasty that he could have. I bet there's a doctor in LA who could make that happen...

Translation:
Mario is starving and wants to start eating again.
Posted by: Marc in Chicago | Sep 15, 2008 5:11:02 PM
To the guy who said Mario is no Brad Pitt to that I say thank God! Mario is much better looking to me than the blandly handsome and by now rather weathered looking Pitt.
Posted by: LJ | Sep 15, 2008 6:20:41 PM
WHO. THE. FUCK. CARES.
Posted by: Christopher | Sep 15, 2008 7:45:14 PM
Christopher,
The horny care.
p.s. When Derrick grabs his shirt, somebody grab his pants.
Posted by: Wheezy | Sep 15, 2008 9:11:49 PM
of course u cant compare Mario "C-Lister" Lopez to Brad Pitt! the only thing Mario has are his semi-good looks.
I wanna see him be half as interesting AND talented as Brad! who still happens to have a way hotter body than this loser, and happens to be at least 15 years oldan than him!
Mario keep ur shirt off, thats ur only appeal, if u stop posing naked, u might end up hosting shows on the Animal Planet channel for the rest of ur life!
Posted by: V | Sep 15, 2008 11:55:12 PM
So what's up with his belly button? It looks like he has two of them.
Pierced?? (Totally trashy/douchey on men) Lipo scar??
