Mario Lopez Won't Be 'Dancing' With the All-Stars
Mr. Dimples turns down Round 2 of ABC's ratings-buster

Boy, oh, boy. First, Mark-Paul Gosselaar ruins more childhoods than the Grinch by opining that "Saved by the Bell" was a mediocre show. Now, his former Saturday morning co-star, Mario Lopez, is turning his nose up at ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," which he appeared on way back in Season 3. What's next: Luke Perry expressing displeasure at the way Dylan McKay evolved during latter seasons of "Beverly Hills, 90210"? (Although he'd totally be onto something.)
In an interview with TV Guide, Lopez elaborated on his recent acknowledgment that "DWTS" approached him to participate in its upcoming All-Stars experiment, an offer which he rejected. The "Extra" host and generally well-toned human being explained to TVG that, "I'm really busy, so I don't think I'll be able to do it." But then he goes on to add, "I don't watch the show and didn't even watch when I was on it. My mom wanted me to do it."
Sure, Mario. And if your mom wanted you to purchase a sickeningly expensive engagement ring for your incredibly sexy girlfriend and mother of your daughter, we bet you'd do that too. This guy.
Season 15 of "Dancing With the Stars" premieres this fall on ABC.

Yes it does. The three things that counted against him were his attitude, the way he patronized viewers trying to downplay his previous dance training, and the fact that many people consider him to be an all-around jerk for cheating on his wife on their honeymoon. There are plenty of good dancers on DWTS who have not made it to the finals because people just don't like them and they don't feel like rewarding them. And judging by his snarky reply, with good reason. Emmitt Smith may not have been the better dancer, but he was by far the better man.
