Paging Vanity Smurf
Filed under: Broadway Babies > Mario Lopez 
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, Mario Lopez took over the role of Zach in the Broadway production of A Chorus Line.
Everything seems to be going well for Lopez….except there seems to be too much ego onstage.
Lopez seems to be a bit too in love with himself - his arms, to be precise. So much so, that he's refused to wear Zach's costume, which consists of a tan sweater with LONG sleeves.
It seems Lopez really wants to show off his biceps.
The issue is that the outfit is based on what was worn in real life by the show's creator, Michael Bennett. It's been worn countless times by every individual that's ever played Zach over the past 30 years!
But, Diva Lopez wanted to wear a simple brown shirt with SHORT sleeves to show off his biceps.
It doesn't even end there!
Apparently, Lopez has to be the only one on stage with the best body.
Throughout the play, Nick Adams, who portrays Larry the assistant choreographer to Zach, is often on stage next to Lopez.
Larry's costume has always been a navy blue tank top with the number 17 on it (for the 17 performers auditioning for the spots on the chorus). And, luckily for the audience, this Larry is hot! And built! And apparently too much better looking than Lopez, especially with larger biceps.
Inside sources are saying that Lopez didn't want to get upstaged by Adam's biceps, so he demanded requested that whenever the two are on stage together, Adams wear a long sleeve hoodie over his tank top.
Hello, Mr. Insecure!
It seems for now the show is going to have to put up with Lopez's demands, since they often require a big name to draw in audiences. Director Bob Avian, however, insists it was his idea to have Larry wear a hoodie.
Riiiiiiight.
Divas often start out with small request but always escalate to annoying demands later on.
Remember that!

Whoa Perez…
He can do what he wants…I saw him in the spa at the Palms years ago….naked…and trust me, his body is flawless, and he certainly has a very big and pretty "reason" to be all about him and his ego.
Not to mention that, his friend even had a bigger "reason" to be so. Got to tell you, they both chatted with me in the hot tub and were super super super nice guys.
his arms are fucken disgusting, that is too much
Well, maybe he's nice 2 his fans but a bastard to work with.
Oh Mario, you'll always be that stupid guy who thinks he is hot in his Z- Cavaricchi's on that rediculously stupid show Saved By the Bell…hahahhaahaha!
Re: OIL CAN – AND FUCKING YOUR MOTHER!
good God hes a FAG
Mario is probably getting lots of dick in NYC for that hot bubble butt of his. Go, girl!
This guy isn't even as big as he looks in pictures and on television. I've seen him up close and he's just cut with not much bulk. I bet Perez has bigger arms than this loser.
It's funny how all the girls think muscles are gross and the straight guys are jealous! Well they don't have them FOR YOU! And showing veins does NOT necessarily mean steroids. A very lean body mass will cause them to appear because there isn't a layer of fat covering them. You know, like all of you from sitting your fat asses in front of a computer all day criticizing hot, successful people. Losers 101!
It's a saaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddd day in entertainment when Mario Lopez is considered a "big name"!!!
LOL! "Personal trainer"- right…. So, when you're not smoking dick for a living, you might want to do some research on muscle physiology….
Common side effect of steroid abuse- a thinning of the skin…. No steroid testing in Hollywood, tho- for Mario, it's either do 'roids or flip burgers- his choice.
He always looks like he's doing a toothpaste commercial. He just gets on my last nerve. He is beyond overrated. He gives off a very gay vibe for a supposedly straight man.
What a douche…why does he have to ruin an amazing musical with his negative energy.
Ugh, Perez you know it and I know it… how many times do I have to scream it?!? Mario Lopez is GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!! THE GAYEST!!!!
Re: J – As I said "NOT necessarily" So of course YOU chose to focus on the "gay" thing! Funny how you insecure types hope "projecting" will keep the rumors away from yourselves. Well don't worry, your fat ass is so firmly wedged in that closet a tub of Crisco & shoe horn won't get you out!
he is such a fag.
His arms AND attitude screams STERIOD USE.
What a little bitch
I want his nutz on my chin Right Fucking Now!
Mario Lopez is a homosexual!!!
How about crediting Michael Reidel for this article. It appeared almost word for word in today's NY POST. This is not YOUR scoop.
Fuck Mario Lopez. He is an asshole.
What fucking horse pills is he taking?
Yay Nick Adams! Yay Erie, PA!
He is such an idiot. He should be grateful he even has a job!!!! They shoudl replace him.
Screaming Queen!!
He is in love with his body and other guys. DEFINITLY ROIDS, you don't get like that naturally I don't care how long you work out. He has to make up for his shortness with BIG arms. LITTLE guy, BIG arms. fruitcake!
Ah come on! Give the guy some credit, he worked out for those babies, I mean, he worked hard to pay for those steroid shots.
but you gotta admit you love him perez.
and you probably photshoped those muscles anyway.
Chronic cheater and liar. Can't keep it in his pants to save his life. Sad and destructive.
GAYFACE!!!!
The cartoon'ish veins, especially in the shoulder, is a definite sign of roids.
erie pa sux cock like lopez
WOW-There are SO many different configurations of CLOSETS here, I thought I was at IKEA!
Can we see a picture of Nick Adams, please???? With the hoodie, without it, in costume, in regular clothes, anything, PICTURE OF NICK ADAMS!!!, PLEASEE!!

HIS ARMS JUST DON'T LOOK RIGHT…I'M SORRY BECAUSE I USED TO BE IN LOVE WITH HIS BEAUTIFUL BODY………….OH WELL

I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT HIS HEALTH….DAMN PEOPLE! MICHAEL JACKSON USED TO HAVE A GORGEOUS FACE AND MARIO A SMACKING BODY……….HE STILL HAS A FACE…………DON'T FUCK WITH NATURE MY LITTLE LAMBS
.

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LOOK ….EAT GRILLED FISH AND WORK OUT LIKE I DO….DON'T USE MEDICATION
Oh man. Its STEROIDS! Look at those veins, its so obvious. What a loser!
Mario Lopez is such a TOOL, I hope he bombs!
thats rediculous. i hope they don't let the changes he wants happen.
Have you actually SEEN it on Broadway??? Get your facts (or your sources) straight, Perez. He wore the correct (historical long sleeved) costume on 'Dancing With the Stars' last night during the 'A Chorus Line' number.
Wait - Mario Lopez is a big name? Since when? He looks like he has to pee.
a)last time mario whatshisname was a 'big name' was when he was fricken slater on fricken sbtb.
b)FIRE HIM if he can't deal with the demands on uniform, that is insubordination.
c)his arms look like shit, they are veiny and gross and even if i was desparate, i would not consider sleeping with this manboy.
his performance was ok. on stage it was good, he dances nicely. its the lines that he read off stage that seemed… eh-> it had a pervy feeling to it. larry did not wear the hoodie in the very beginning, but as the show progressed, he put it on. and yeah, he has a niiiiiiice body.
wow hey vein popping out steriod user. put those guns away AC SLATER
Perezito my Latina Gossip Queen,
I saw the show. He is fabulous in it BUT he gets very little time. He plays the "director" so he is offstage most of the time and you hear his voice. Also he can dance and act but I am pretty sure he was pulling an Ashlee. As for the guy who plays the assistant he could've been naked and I would not have noticed Mario is GUAPISIMO so I really doubt he's being a diva he doesn't have to be
MUAH PEREZ! Latinas Luv Ya!
I saw him onstage last week and he wore the specified original costume throughout. Are you smokin crack again, Perez?
Mario does not wear the original costume. Nor did he on dwts. He wears a short sleeve brown collared shirt. Not a shirt and long sleeve sweater. Period.
THAT IS JUST SO FREAKING GROSSSSSSS
ummm, Perez? you just called mario lopez "a big name" Let's see, a children's show, some hosting jobs and oh yeah DWTS. wow such a big star, uh huh, right.
It looks like HE'S ON STEROIDS, which could also account for a major personality change to the negative.
Perez, it gets even BETTER!
Mario also had a lot of the shows EXISTING CHOREOGRAPHY changed as well, so he could spend more time on stage, and be in more prominent positions.
I love Mario Lopez!
He's so talented, so hot haha. I doubt those stories are true… People talk, you know.
Ugh. His biceps are disgusting. Too big, too veiny. He has no right to be egotistical or a diva! He's just a baby!
The veins are disgusting! Why would anyone want to look like that. Most people work hard to AVOID varicose veins let alone show them off.
Mario Lopez is a big name?
CAN YOU SAY ROIDS???? LAY OF THE JUICE MARIO–
Mario is the biggest queer. Quit pretending to be straight, it's getting old. Everyone in the know knows!
Whatever…pretty divaish, but I go for the songs and choreography, not his arms. It's like the most amazing show ever, and he can't change that by showing off his biceps!!
Who watched even one-half an episode of Saved By The Bell, and didn't see this coming…??? (No high school kid looks like an olympic athlete, much less an early bodybuilder.) His preoccupation with his looks and his arms and obviously now his steroid-enhanced arms was about as subtle as being hit over the head with a baseball bat. Another falsely enhanced persona setting a bad example for young people. And making an ass out of himself. Vanity is the root of all evil. It got Lucifer kicked out of Heaven, and snugly nestled in not quite so cozy a place.
steroids = small dick and he is an uncivilized ethnic, so uncut + smeg smell,
is Britney in the show
Por favor!!!!! Si quiere trabajar en la obra que use lo que le mandan, si no adiòooossss.
Ademas sus brazos son HO-RRI-BLES… nada estèticos
ok seriously is he trying to get a reunion of saved by the bell organized?? does anyone know where his former costars even are?
a man that beautiful should not even be allowed to wear clothes!
'roid arms.
ON THE JUIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCE!!!
"they require a big name to draw in audiences"
…so, when are they gonna get one??????????
Perez sez:
"Divas often start out with small request but always escalate to annoying demands later on."
Uh…he already has escalated…by trying to make us think of him as anything other than A.C. Slater without having put legitimate work behind trying to break out of that mold. It seems he still is the meathead he was cast to be…and forever will aspire to be the "cool kid" that the script dictated…apparently he doesn't realize that today's kids didn't grow up with that and don't get the reference….
So YUMMY!!!
Big name? Please! Good looking? Maybe. Got moves? Yeah, but let's face it–he's certainly not a talented actor and should just stick to hosting that crappy show on Animal Planet.
What a slut.
Nick Adams should take the lead of this Play. He's a better singer/actor/dancer than Mario Lopez.
