Mario Lopez Is a Diva

Page Six has an interesting bit today about Diva Mario Lopez and his fellow co-star in Broadway’s A Chorus Line.

Last month, Mario Lopez and co-star Nick Adams clashed when Lopez refused to wear his character Zach’s trademark costume of a long-sleeve tan sweater. As first reported by The Post’s Michael Riedel, Lopez wanted to show off his biceps, so he wore a short-sleeve brown shirt in order to display his “guns.”

Lopez also requested that Adams, who plays assistant choreographer Larry, cover up his navy-blue tank top with a baggy hoodie whenever he danced next to Lopez. When Adams does wear just the tank top, it’s in the show’s opening dance number, where he’s banished to the back of the line and can barely be seen by the audience.

Divalicious!

But now Nick Adams has his revenge: he’s beat Lopez out as the star of a new ad campaign for men’s underwear company 2(x)ist.

“Mario was originally No. 1 on our radar as we planned the campaign,” said an insider. “We were ready to call him with an offer, but then we saw Nick. He’s younger, sexy, more interesting. On top of that, his body was crazy. We set up a meeting, and when he walked in, that was it. We never even looked at anyone else after that.”

And says the company’s creative director:

“Nick’s very masculine, sexy, modern. It’s totally all about his body. Mario is a good-looking guy, but Nick had it. He’s up and coming, the new face of sexy. He’s original. He’s hot.”

Take that, Mario.

I’ve hated you since you cheated on Ali Landry at your bachelor party.

  • he is SO full of himself; posing by a display of his own books! i work out at the same gym as he, and he’s always staring at himself as he walks by anything that will give a reflection. can we all say douche with a capital “D”??

  • At one point he was up on rape charges if I recall. I guess like all crimes in Hollywood they just went away.

  • Eh. That was a hell of a long time ago. (1993, actually)

    He was 19 and on Saved By The Bell. Another person on or around the show was 18 and tried to press date rape charges against him.

    He was never arrested and the charges dropped. There was no civil suit either as far as I can tell.

    He cheated on Ali Landry during his bachelor party (with a rent-a-snatch no less). How stupid is that? (Ali was freakin Miss USA 1996. (And others.))

  • Loved him as A.C.-not AT ALL now!!! Big time douchebag!!! Plus he always looks SO greasy-yuck!

  • Hell with Mario, did anyone else check out this Nick Adams guy? Very young looking, but, gorgeous in photos… that ad exec, whoever she was, hit the nail right on the head with him. He is so way past Mario Lopez. Fresh faced, HOT body… OMG… I almost feel like a pedophile he looks so young. He’ll probably turn out to be gay anyway. HAHA

  • pretentious, i hate the way he talks, he’s such a pussy…..i’m glad you lost on dancing with the stars!

  • I’m a southern gal and went to college with a friend of Ali’s. Yep, he absolutely did cheat on her — not only is she gorgeous, she treated him like a king. What a dick.

    That’s about the only piece of Hollywood gossip I heard about firsthand in the civilian world, LOL.

  • Wow! *licks chops* Nick Adams is wayyy better looking than Mario. If you look at that link Sarah posted, there’s a bunch of Flickr pix of Nick. In one of them, he’s facing away from the camera, standing next to someone that probably is Mario – Nick’s guns are outstanding, while Mario’s in comparison look frumpy. No wonder Mario wanted Nick to wear a hoody while he was anywhere near him.

  • Your last comment about hating him since cheating on Ali Landry is EXACTLY why I change the channel or flip the page when ever I see him. How can you CHEAT on the Dorito’s Girl?!

  • mario is one of the hottest brown guys in hollywood history his body his hair his smile priceless why settle for ali he looks better than her the only thing I dis like about him is you never see with a brown woman like him other that I love him !

  • i love him he is so sexy and idc if he is “diva” cuz he ha the hottest ass iv everseen and hottest body

    the end

  • First of all, you can always tell a Rag Mag, even when it’s too cheap to be in print, but only ends up online: the “journalism” is horrendous. Mario could not have worn “his character ZacK’s trademark sweater” because HIS CHARACTER WAS NOT ZACK! If you want to dis on Mark-Paul Gosselaar, then do so, since that was HIS charcter. Mario played A.C. Slater. You rag on him so much that it’s obvious that you’re just jealous. Maybe he turned down your advances at the gym? Lemme guess, you’re 350 lbs of solid ugly.

    You can’t be THAT stupid …can you? Zach is the character in the play…not the character he played on Saved by the Bell. You are an idiot my friend… there is a world outside of T.V. and the internet… you should check it out. Sorry for “telling it like it is”.
