Mario Lopez,
the Dancing With the Stars fan
favorite also known for playing Saved by the
Bell high school jock A.C. Slater,
has declared he was putting his "foot down" on choosing
outfits for his reality television competition.
"I don't want
anything too fruity or too out there," Lopez said on
the STAR 94.1 morning show in San Diego. "I gotta keep it
masculine, gotta represent Chula Vista still," he added,
referring to the San Diego suburb where he grew
up.
During his brief
interview, Lopez denied rumors that he and his dancing
partner, Karina Smirnoff, were doing more than dancing. He
also compared his initial appearance for his role on
Nip/Tuck--he was naked in a shower--to soft-core
pornography. (The Advocate)
