Extra’s Mario Lopez was allegedly trying to pull a Star Jones and get free crap for his wedding in exchange for plugging donors on the show. When he tried to score a free diamond engagement ring, he got schooled by a producer for being so miserly about a meaningful piece of jewelry.
Mario Lopez… beats even Star Jones when it comes to snagging free stuff, sources say – designer duds, dude bling, a home makeover, etc. – and when dining out, Lopez often lopes off just before the check arrives. But insiders were really shocked when Mario went mega-mooch, hustling an “Extra” boss to promote him a freebie diamond engagement ring from advertiser Kay Jewelers – so he could present it to baby momma Courtney Mazza! Horrified, the ex wailed: “Are you kidding? Enough with the freebies! This is a ring you’re giving to a woman you’re going to marry – not to mention she’s the mother of your child! Step up and pay for it Mario! This is a very personal item – not something you barter for!” Shocked and upset at her reaction, Mario groused: “Fine, I”ll figure it out myself.”

How is that that “celebrities” (and I use the term loosely here) feel that they should get so much stuff for free when people who earn so much less than they do have to pay for it? That’s ridiculous that this jerk can’t even pay for a meal without trying to get it comped.
I googled “Mario Lopez cheap” to see if anyone else had stories of him being a cheapskate, and all I found was this 2006 Defamer article about how Eva Longoria was out with him for drinks and complained about a $17 tab, saying “celebrities should be comped.” I guess we know why these two are such good friends. They certainly share a sense of entitlement.
Oh and I’m not sure if Lopez is engaged or not yet. There were rumors after his daughter Gia was born in September that he proposed, but we didn’t hear anything more about it. Lopez told Ellen that “The jury is still out whether she wants to keep me.”

Run, girlfriend, run! (Spoken as Jenny to Forest.)
The blenders and glasses are so appreciative that they’re wearing gloves…I’d feel the same way if they were serving me drinks.
Gross. Why am I not surprised?
For a minute I thought it was gonna say: married a gay dude.
So disgusting. He probably won’t even marry this poor girl, he’ll just get a free ring & sell it on Ebay.
I CAN NOT STAND HIM.
He is such a poser. I have noticed more and more that these Entertainment reporters (or whatever) all want to be the STARS they report on. Reality shows: Giuliana and Mario and God only knows who else. But he cheated on that DWTS girl and got that Extra gig I don’t know how. So fake and I recall that People magazine spread where he dressed up as famous Male Movie stars in Iconic roles.. Made me want to throw up..
OK sorry but he makes me beyond sick. And I can’t stand men who are that obsessed over their bodies and how they look. That girlfriend and baby seem more accessories to him more then a family.
A sterling example of the concept of “celebrity nobility.”
We peons must (literally) support celebs because they are so very special, and we, of course, are…. not so much.
Is it just me or does his gf/baby-mama have an exhausted look on each pic? Like he is just a drama queen, he probably takes more time getting ready than she does.
the entitlement mentally just blows my mind. he walks his dinner tab? does he at least leave a TIP ? this is BEYOND EGO.
ITA with CB that it’s ridiculous that “celebs” get all kinds of freebies when the rest of us working stiffs have to pay for everything. This Lopez douche is beyond belief if he’s trying to get an engagement ring comped. Ugh.
So, he dines & dashes then, right?
hahaha@Jo!
and you would think a guy who didn’t have a lot of success after Saved By The Bell would be a little more appreciative, humble, etc.
This guy is SO cheesy looking!
He’s probably trying to score free stuff b/c his earning potential is sinking like a rock. Seriously, WHO is this guy’s target audience. Don’t most women know he’s a cheating, misogynist a-hole by now? And there’s no WAY he has male fans.
Anyways, good luck w/ your hopelessly doomed marriage Mario! Try not to pork any strippers at ur bachelors party this time!
I think Eva Longoria is exactly like this sleazy tool; Hard to believe that 17.00 could make a dent in their ego’s pocketbook. THIS is why I don’t feel a whiff of guilt for making fun of celebrities.
He’s so played out, I use to watch Extra and read their site, but this guy right here is just too fuking annoying for me.
This is a guy that cheated on his ex-wife during their honeymoon so I am not surprised at his lack of integrity. An engagement ring is something you don’t scrimp on. If I was in his baby’s mama’s shoes, I would NOT marry him at all!
Ga-ROSS. This is the same girl that when they first were dating he basically shipped her from Broadway to LA and kept her under lock and key until she had some minor cosmetic surgery and worked with a trainer for like 3 months right? Then they staged this big beach photo op.
This poor girl, she must have gone through some real life Criminal Minds shit in her past to have this low of self esteem
I think she should shove that blender right up his arse, and then turn it on.
Mario, if you wanted a free engagement ring then you should have proposed to Jessica or Leeann.
He has GAY written all over his face.
haha stronzilla, totally. chances are mario fauxpez and longwhoria end up together. its a nice convenient time to do so.
I cannot stand him and I hate that Millions of Milkshakes dump. Only desperados and losers go there.
how douchey of him! he is the same guy who forced his girlfriend to get liposuction so she would be acceptable.
I think not only is Mario cheap, he really doesn’t want to marry this girl. So if he proposes with a free ring, he’s not out anything when either of them decides to end it. No worries if she won’t return the ring, he didn’t pay for it.
Sheesh, for such a pretty man, his girlfriend sure is, um, plain.
LOL He’s not gay. He’s a womanizer. He cheated on his first wife at his Bachelor party with a stripper before their wedding. He cheated on that DWTS girlfriend, who was living with him with this one. He will never be faithful. But this girl is spunky. She won’t be played a fool.
he & eva so deserve each other…
Mario Lopez? Mario Lopez?
Who the fu_k ARE you?
i never find him attractive. he got this big nose, long pointed chin like a witch and hanging mouth
Celebrities in need of a BITCH SLAP!
Chris Brown (Just read his awful twitter argument with some rbaz dude)
Charlie Sheen
LeAnn Rimes
Mario Lopez
Celebrities who think they’re entitled to be comped and get free swag all the time, make me stabby.
Yes, most celebrities think that they should not have to pay for things.
A limo driver who has driven lots of celebrities over the years, including Cher, told me that celebrities always try to get out of paying the fare, and never tip. He did say that Cher was nice to him, and although she did not pay him for the ride, she did invite him to hang out with her and her entourage at the event that he drove her to.
I think the mere fact that he is looking to get the ring for free shows the level of commitment he’s willing to put into that ‘marriage’.
Didn’t he cheat on Ali Landry at his bachelor party the night before he married her causing her to later have the marriage annulled? Someone who would do something so reprehensible rarely change for the better, IMHO.
Oh and his dimples creep me out.
Has anyone seen his reality show? If you don’t hate him now, you will after you watch. He’s a pushy, controlling, egotistical DOUCHEBAG. He treats his girlfriend like crap! And, he constantly refers to himself as “still just a kid” when he’s pushing 40! He’s an overgrown, roided up frat boy…WHAT A LOSER.
Oh snap! Keep him away from the ice cream cakes ladies!!!!
Not surprised, just feel bad for his baby Mama, hope she wises up before it’s too late. Ask Ali.
He looks like he spends SO much time preening and glossing himself in the mirror. Not an attractive quality in a man.
They look like they could be Fraternal Twins.
he’s totally gonna go puke up that milkshake he’s pretending to drink. egotastic image whore won’t allow no ice cream on those abs.
LMAO @ JEN, STRONZILLA, RACHFACE24, AND KAS…. ALL HILARIOUS.
(SIGH) He is such a PRETTY douche tho. can’t lie.
@ lisa:He is such a poser. I have noticed more and more that these Entertainment reporters (or whatever) all want to be the STARS they report on. Reality shows: Giuliana and Mario and God only knows who else
AGREE 1000%
He is such an cheap tool!!! This poor girl should run! Didnt he cheat on his ex fiancee at his bachelor party?! ewwwwww!
@tj…yeah…i’ve watched that tool in action. your post is spot on.
I must be missing something b/c I liked him on his reality show. I didn’t think he treated his girlfriend badly.
I didn’t know he was married before to Ali Landry or that he cheated . . .
i just get a major gay vibe with this guy. Very Greg Louganis – only a gay guy could see the appeal.
I can’t stand this guy and after reading this he just makes me gag even more(and not in a good way!)
I always found him ugly so I’m glad I’m not the only one and after Mark McGrath and Dana Devon stopped hosting Extra I never watched the show again because he’s so full of himself
Oh Slater!! What would Kelly Kapowski say??
He has always called it “his baby”. IMO she’s a surrogate and I don’t see a marriage happening. It took this flamer what 2 years to pick out his little dog? Just come out already. Him and Ricky Martin would be a great couple.
I must admit that I find this man incredibly hot.
*hangs head in shame*
Sweet and practical . lots of room for playing with several.Thank you!!
