Mario Lopez: 'People' Mag's Fanciest Single Boy

by celebuzz on Jun. 18, 2008 10:28 AM / 11 Comments

It's official—chiseled Mario Lopez is the Hottest Bachelor People can think of. The Saved by the Bell alum beat out Tinseltown hot properties Brody Jenner, David Cook, Terrence Howard and Adam Levine for the magazine's player of the year honors.

And who could argue with their choice? Lopez is in great shape after recently dropping more than 100 pounds.

But People's choice isn't all pretty-boy exterior. Lopez's humility is awe-inspiring:

"I like a girl who's from a modest sort of upbringing," says the honoree. "My parents emigrated from Mexico and live in the same house I grew up in Chula Vista, California. I'd feel weird if the girl was a little too uppity or affluent, because I'm a very down-home kind of guy."

Sorry, gals, Mario's not the kind of guy to take you out some place special.

In fact, word around town is that, when he's looking for a fun night out, pretty much any hole in the wall will do.

Quotables /

“Mario Lopez has been named People’s Hottest Bachelor. The 34-year-old actor/exercise guru bares all in the new issue, on newsstands Friday.

Can you believe it? NUDEY PICS IN PEOPLE MAG, Y’ALL!!

Other bachelors who made the cut: The Hills star Brody Jenner and his BFF Frankie Delgado, American Idol champ David Cook, actor/singer Terrence Howard, Bryan Spears (Britney and Jamie Lynn’s older brother), 300 hunk Gerard Butler, tennis star James Blake, Rock of Love star Bret Michaels, Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg and SNL writer Akiva Shaffer, Hunter Johansson (Scarlett’s twin brother, younger by three minutes), Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and the Gossip Girl guys (Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford).”

“Karina Smirnoff talks about her ex-boyfriend Mario Lopez on Chelsea Lately. The professional dancer from Dancing with the Stars and former Saved By the Bell star reportedly split up about a week and a half ago. Karina acknowledged the rumors he was cheating with a Hooters girl for a year by saying that it could've been worse - he could've been caught with Divine Brown, the prostitute that Hugh Grant was caught with in 1995.

Poor Karina - that sucks to find out through media reports. She seems to be handling the news pretty well though.

Mario's a loser anyway, so she's better off now.”

“I can't believe People magazine chose Mario Lopez as the Hottest Bachelor. Yuck!

He has a good body since he works out a lot, but not everyone thinks much of him. How could he beat out the other guys like Jason Lewis, Gerard Butler, and Adam Levine?”

If Mario was smart he'd stay out of the limelight for a while. What a skeez.
