Mario Lopez, Girlfriend Land VH1 Reality Show
Just in case you're not getting enough of Mario Lopez on 'Extra' and 'America's Next Dance Crew,' the omnipresent six-packed wonder will soon be the subject of his very own VH1 reality show.According to the Live Feed, Lopez, who first shot to poster boy status by playing dreamboat A.C. Slater on 'Saved by the Bell,' and his pregnant girlfriend, Courtney Mazza, will appear in the untitled series that's slated to debut this fall.
The show, which has an order for eight episodes, will examine how impending fatherhood affects Lopez's outlook and career. As Jeff Olde, executive vp original programming at VH1 said in a statement, "Our audience have watched Mario go from a kid in a fictional high school to a man who has succeeded in many different facets in the TV business," adding that, "This new series fits perfectly with VH1's programming because Mario's upcoming life changes reflect the same family milestones that many of our viewers are experiencing for the first time."
Lopez, who was briefly married to Doritos girl Ali Landry in 2004 and dated his Ukranian 'Dancing with the Stars' partner Karina Smirnoff from 2006-2008, met Mazza, a successful stage actress/dancer, when they were mounting 'A Chorus Line' on Broadway two years ago. The couple plans to marry once the baby is born this fall. This will be the first child for each.
