saved by the baby

i’m not kidding. i wish i was, but i’m not.

vh1 has just announced the title for mario lopez‘s new reality TV show. the big reveal? mario lopez: saved by the baby (making a simply GENIUS pun on his days on 90′s fave saved by the bell)

i suppose it’s a smart marketing move – because where most would just tune out his reality TV debut, now we’re all talking about it! mario and girlfriend courtney mazza have just welcomed baby girl gia francesca, and want to show her off the world.

vh1′s press release touts the show will take us from the “hottest parties to the dirtiest diapers.” wait, wha?

whatever you say, guys! plus, i’m sure mario will use this opportunity to go shirtless whenever possible. i clearly recall my days working at extra with him, when he would walk around the newsroom in a barely-there tank and jeans. don’t wanna cover those muscles!!

mario lopez: saved by the baby hits your TV on november 1st. will YOU tune in?

cuz i’m saved by the bell

savedbybellits happened! finally the cast of 90′s smash hit ‘saved by the bell’ has reunited. don’t lie, you’ve been waiting for it!

people mag got the old crew together to spill some deets on what life was really like back during their filming days. while we don’t have excerpts yet, the cover claims to have the low-down on ”the hookups, the meltdowns, the memories: the cast reveals what was really going on… and what they think of each other now.”

mark paul gosselaar (zack morris), lark voorhies (lisa turtle), elizabeth berkley (jessie spano), mario lopez (a.c. slater), & tiffani thiessen (kelly kapowski) all pose together to remind us how much we miss them in action. but have you noticed yet? absent from the reunion cover is dustin diamond, or as we know him, screech powers. what, did he have something better going on? maybe he was busy making another sex tape. let’s hope not.

in other ‘saved by the bell’ news, late-night host jimmy fallon has been notoriously trying to get the crew to do a taped reunion – as we saw that hilarious clip of mark paul gosselaar on the show a while back. but jimmy hasn’t been able to get through to all of them yet. namely, tiffani thiessen. the actress takes to the ‘funny or die’ stage to announce why she hasn’t been able to participate. she’s just too darn busy! watch below for some laughs.

saved by zack morris

June 9, 2009 By 1 Comment

nostalgia, its feels so good. mark-paul gosselaar was set to appear on late night with jimmy fallon this past tuesday night, and we instead were treated to a little surprise. gosselaar reprised his most famous character, zack morris from ‘saved by the bell.’ and it was glooorious. i never realized how much i missed the days of kelly kapowski & slater, bayside high & the max.

the vid above features the 9-minute interview with the famed beach-blonde teenager. complete with the oversized cell phone & freeze-frames, it felt just like before. but gosselaar’s moved on to drama these days - there to ultimately promote the new season of TNT’s ‘raising the bar,’ in which he plays a high-powered lawyer. click here to see video & air dates of the hit show.

grammy moments: best & worst

February 9, 2009 By 1 Comment

about 19 million people tuned in to see the grammy’s last night, a definite increase in viewership since years past. there was a huuuuuge celeb line-up, with performances by everyone from paul mccartney to al green, the remaining member of the four tops to radiohead. certainly an eclectic group!

big winners? alison krauss & robert plant won all five awards they were nominated for – the biggest being album of the year. lil’ wayne took home best rap song & album among others, and coldplay got the honors for song of the year, ‘vida la vida’.

 


best & worst moments:

 

best – al green singing ‘let’s get together’. such a classic!
worst – coldplay’s sargeant pepper outfits.
best – taylor swift writing & performing her song, ’15′.
worst – miley cyrus dueting with her, and reminding us all that she has just a fraction of talent.

 

best – MIA absolutely killing it during ‘swagger like us’. oh yeah, and she was 9 mos. preggers!
worst – kanye west’s hair. totally looked like ac slater from ‘saved by the bell’!
best – jack black after paul mccartney’s performance: “we just heard from a promising new bass player, paul mccartney. remember that name people, it’s gonna be big!”

worst – chris brown & rhianna are no shows, due to allegations that chris may have assaulted his gf rhianna. total downer!
