Broadway Actors May Be Striking Too!
The contract between the Broadway League (the producers) and the Actors' Equity Association (the thespians) has expired as of Sunday. Both sides, however, say negotiations on a new contract are continuing.
Luckily, neither side wants a repeat of the strikes that took place last November by the stagehands. That resulted in more than two dozen Broadway shows being dark for 19 days.
Oh, and it also cost the producers and city millions of dollars in lost revenues!
Peaceful strikes can make an impact.
In a joint statement, both sides have said "The talks remain productive and both parties are confident a fair and equitable contract will be reached."
The negotiations will include talks about the obvious, such as health care benefits and pension.
They will also be talking about the touring program, which was started back in 2004, which allows for different levels of pay for different kinds of tours such as the large hits like Wicked, which can last in some cities for weeks and months.
Then the lesser known plays are usually riskier and will only play weekly sets at a lower pay scale.
Also taken into consideration will be the topic of "new media" in which scenes and performers from the shows are used to promote the shows on the Internet.
Whatever happens, let's just hope they don't go on strike.

He looks like Ricky Ricardo morphed with PopEye!
LeonA'$ GHO$T, yep, back and BETTER THAN EVER, biyatches!!! sez…
He looks gayer than Mario Washateria!!!
yeah really does look like a diva in that
I wish Miss Thang would do a flick with Ricky Martin!
His muscles are too big. I don't like the bulging, vainy look. Ease up, Slater!
Re: vien (sp!) – Spelling reminder: "I before E, except after C, unless it's sounds like A, as in this dude is GAY!!!
Well, people need to realize there are breadlines in Milwaukee and give it a rest when it comes to more money, corporate America has officially taken over the great white way. Our country sure has it's priorities out of wack. Cant wait to pay 12.00/gal to get to the Wicked musical. Protest for the right thing!!!
Mario is a self absorbed fucking asshole!!!!!!!! Diva is mildly putting it!!!!! He could care less about anyone other than himself!!!! He's run through so many beautiful girls and now it looks like a massive form of self loathing!!!!! How goddamn Sad!!!!!!!
Does he have to go pee pee or is he just getting ready to throw up his "jazz hands"?
fucking VEINS!!! makes me wanna gag in and around his mouth
UGHHHH!!! ISN'T THIS THE FAG "SLATER" FROM "SAVED BY THE BELL".
eww he looks like he does steroids or something. oh gross his veins are HUGGE and they're like popping out LOL
Mario, enough of a good thing. The arms ARE starting to look way over-the-top Carrot Top, if you know what I mean. It's not attractive, and I'm a woman and am not that picky. K'?
Instead of mole-y mole-y I'm thinking arm-y arm-y. Less resistance, Lopez. By about 40 percent, or they.will.explode.
Aaaah
I dropped my nail file!
I've seen Mario up close at my gym, towel around his waist, fresh out of the shower. Very good looking, better in person than in print, which is pretty unusual. Lean and ripped, very cut, not a steriod look at all. Good genetics, hard work and disciplined diet to my eye, not drugs. Stop ragging on the guy: he still has a career while most teen faves of his generation are nowhere to be seen.
Kerry Ellis not long transfers from London's West End playing Elphaba in Wicked, to Broadway playing the same role… and a strike could happen. Doh.
Duder looks like he's done himself an injury.
WHO IS THIS MAN!?!?!?
Maybe this should have been a picture of greedy little Katie Holmes, who's pushing Mario Lopez offstage so she can make her lame debut.
When will that Queen, Maria Lopez, come out of the closet?
mario can cum in my butthole anytime! he's hot!
Screw them all!!!
Peaceful strike? WTF? Walk out, setup picket lines, start breaking everything that tries to cross!! You'll never get what you deserve without going on strike! Who cares how much it costs the "city" - workers unite!! Do it for Obama!!
Roid Rage on Broadway!
he looks so gay. something tells me he has a lil pee pee and it prolly dont like to fly straight. is he on roids?
Can you say "steroids"?? Damn shame. And he was so cute. Mario, get ready for your pee-pee to shrink-ee.
roid taker! check how thick his veins are.
Now's a good time for actors to strike. No one has any money to buy tickets to their shows anyway.
he looks TOO buff. it's pretty gross.
Nothing to do with this but Mario Lopez is an ass. Have you seen the pics of him with his friend and that whore mocking a homeless man. SCUM BAG. I will never forget his face in that disgusting picture.
MARIO REMINDS ME OF CARROT TOP, SUPER GAY AND ON `ROIDS.
uh……..just how much iron has mario been pumpin?
startin to look a little 'roid-ish
The first thing this picture said to me was "Gay"
The second thing it said was "Sterioids"
Sometimes the truth just "comes out" by itself
Geeeod. Get this dude off of tv!!! AC slater has had his fame….keep on movin' buddy. Get a job at dairy queen.
dang!!!! look at all his veins!!! it looks like he shoots up steriods!!!
Mario Lopez is GAY!!!
Shut Up, Perez.
I´m glad the contract expired.
mario is a hot piece of ass!!!! i fucked him this weekend at an after party for gay pride.
ps…..the guy of the moment, chace crawford was there too with some blonde guy
yeah this dude was all over a bunch of guys at pride this weekend.
every party i went to, there he was, taking off his shirt posing!!!!!
he's a douschbag! every party this weekend at pride i went to there he was with no shirt on doing push ups or looking at himself in the mirrors. he was talkin to your boy chace crawford at eastern block, so u better fly out here quick perez!!!
Veins because big overloads, not because injection !!! Steroids inject in back
He is a cool man. we all love him. there are so many fans of him. and they set up the groups related to stars. you can even check out his sexy and beautiful photos, videos and blogs on the wealthy dating club RICHLOVING.COM for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating.
His body is smoking. I would mind smoking his pole!
I love the muscled/bodybuilder look. People are so superficial when they only like on type of guy. "Oh he has to be athletic and look like a pre-pubescent teen!" Some people love muscle worship and I am one of those people.
Oh - my - God. This guy, right before our eyes, is becoming another Carrot Top! Look at his head, look at his body. Oh well. Whatever.
yuuuuuuuk…his arms look disgusting
I'm sorry, but Mario Lopez is not hot to me at all. His body is hairless…which is really a tunr-off. It's too tan, to veiny and too oiled up looking. Not nice at all. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing Mario!
grose arms.
What???? Did he get kicked in the balls?
Now that picture is a DAMN SHAME - it is awful when a naturally beautiful man like Lopez DESTROYS his looks by getting over muscled (natural or not).
at least now we know why he put up a stink to change the character's outfit in that scene to wear a tank top in the show - girlfriend wanted to show off his work in the gym
ugh - he really is the worst kind of man (gay or straight)
BTW - there are hot pics on the web with him having very VERY sexy hair on his arms and chest.
This loser has done a full body wax.
Again - what a shame.
I love Him! But, He needs to stop the Steroids. He's looking gross!
HE'S NOT GAY ; )
he better lay off the juice… the veins in his arms look like they are going to explode!!!
He is a HUNK!!!!
Whattup, Veins!
That picture is totally gay.
hes so gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks like mario's doing the pee-pee dance
I want to tie this guy to a saint andrews cross and fuck the shit out of him
He can do me anytime, no questions asked, he's so hot, gosh, look at him, he makes me cum all over.
Re: Lala – No he doesn't. Go fuck a lollipop if you don't like bodybuilders, retard!
Re: James – Fuck you! 69 Mostly Men wrote bad things about Him and No You little prick Have to pick on me-a Lady! What a little little boy! If you would have read it correctly You'd see I like the guy you fucker!
