Working Hard for the Money!

We saw him shake his tight Latino ass on Dancing With the Stars.

But can he sing???

We're about to find out!

Mario Lopez is joining the Broadway cast of A Chorus Line starting April 15.

He will be playing the role of Zach, the demanding director.

Wait one minute! A.C. Slater is playing Zach!

"Every actor dreams about appearing on a Broadway stage. I have as well, and have been searching for the right time and opportunity," says Lopez. "A Chorus Line is a legendary musical and I am so honored to have been chosen to join the amazing cast and be a part of the Broadway family."

Lopez will be in the show through September 7.

Mario is giving Ryan Seacrest a run for his money!

How has he been able to squeeze in Chorus Line rehearsals in between hosting Miss America, Extra and America's Best Dance Crew?

He's come a long way!

Update: Mario Lopez will not be singing solo in the show. The role of Zach requires rockin' some tight pants, though! Lopez excels at that!

      Perez, how come you never talk about the fact that Mario is FLAMING?

      He's gayer than Ryan Seacrest… (but not quite Clay Aiken).

      Perez, you truly are an idiot. No one will know if he can sing because Zach has no solos in the show. Whenever you comment about Broadway, you sound more stupid than you already are.

      Met this guy twice, know people who went to school with him. Mario is not gay but he's the shadiest douchebag I have ever met. And I know for fact that Ali Landry left him because he was cheating on her with anything that looked his way…EVEN on they're honeymoon!!!!

      I would pay to go see the "Chorus Line" with him in it. He's hot, sexy, and if he can act, all the more better. It's a classic play, and I would go pay to see him. People who say he's sleazy are just jealous pelvises .

      He's so fucking hot! I just want to rip off all his clothes, bend him over and stick my hard dick up his tight, hot, little Latino ass. Then I'd jerk him off until he came with me inside him and then I'd fuck him so hard till he screamed and shoot my load right inside him.

      48

      He's come a long way since saved by the bell, I must. I think the most successful of the bunch I think. I don't agree with what he did to ali landry but his personal life aside, he does seem to be an ambitious guy who's still managed to be in the spotlight.

      Zach does not sing OR dance in a chorus line. Also Mario is WAY too young toplay the part. Zach should look about 45. He is wrong for it period.

      I met Mario Lopez on Coronado beach in downtown San Diego.. he was pretty nice. He took a picture with me, and with my friend and her baby. Looks like he probably called the paparazzi in to take pictures of him though!

      The funnest time I had with a rent boy recently was this guy I hired who looked like Mario, and I pushed jelly-beans up his butthole (it is easter time after all), made him sit on my face, and then made him pop them in my mouth.

      64

      If he's playing Zack, then who is going to play Slater? Screech? By the way, Mario's hall of fame moment was not getting robbed of what should have been a well-deserved victory on Dancing with the Stars, it was his one day marriage to piece of ass Ally Landry. Brings new meaning to hit it and quit it.
