Broadway Baby: Mario Lopez In Body Battle With Costar

NY Post:

WHAT started as a battle of the biceps has turned into the battle of the bulges between stars of Broadway's "A Chorus Line."

Last month, Mario Lopez and co-star Nick Adams clashed when Lopez refused to wear his character Zach's trademark costume of a long-sleeve tan sweater. As first reported by The Post's Michael Riedel, Lopez wanted to show off his biceps, so he wore a short-sleeve brown shirt in order to display his "guns."

Lopez also requested that Adams, who plays assistant choreographer Larry, cover up his navy-blue tank top with a baggy hoodie whenever he danced next to Lopez. When Adams does wear just the tank top, it's in the show's opening dance number, where he's banished to the back of the line and can barely be seen by the audience.

Now the rivalry between the hunks has been pumped up with word that the men's-underwear company 2(x)ist has decided it wants Adams front and center in a shirtless ad and that it passed over Lopez.

Proof that some guys ego are never satisfied.
Mario Mr. Tough Guy Lopez is not acting very manly here.
Hasn't had enough babes, compliments, bucks, opportunities? He should be confident enough to let the other guy have his turn. Pathetic.

Bummer. Mario always gave off such a boy-next-door charm to go with his awesome looks. I didn't realize he was such a vain prick.

Mario Lopez knows he's just a face and a body so he wants no competition. It is sad the producers of this show will put up with the diva attitude just for a few more bucks.

Get over yourself Lopez. You're a children's television has-been.

I never seen a dude so in love with himself. He acts like a catty Diva here. He's only missing makeup and a dress.
