Dancing with the Stars

[Guest zipperzone]

The bettings good than quite a few of us watched the season's opening of Dancing with the Stars. Hokey I know, but eye candy is eye candy.

 

Comments on four of the "stars" note the non-capitalization....

 

Tucker Carlson: What an ugly runt - and to think I once had the hots for him! UGH He looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy - no ass and couldn't move to save his life.

 

Jerry Springer: They must be doing this for laughs, right? Why would an ageing talk show host set himself up to look so inept. His steps were as nonexistant as Tucker the fucker's and what was with that black satin girdle around the outside of his tux?

 

Mario Lopez: Be still my foolish heart!!! And those dimples!!!Although I think his A.D.D. would make him almost impossible to be around. I wonder if he could even stay still long enough to get a blow job. Note to wardrobe - If he wore pants in a lighter color, it would show off his butt better.

 

Joey Laurence: Hot - nice physique - nice butt. I think he should do a dance routine with Mario.

Ditto your feelings about Tucker and Jerry ! They must have

been doing it only for laughs!

 

But, and I do mean BUTT, that Mario is so damn sexy, everything

about him, face, hair, dimples, butt, etc. And the guy

can really really dance. Looks like it just comes natural

to him.

 

And Joey Lawrence has a hot bod. He is one of the few guys

that look good with a shaved head but still like him with hair

better. Here I am wishing for a full head of hair and people

with great hair are shaving theirs ! Life isn't fair.:-) :-)

I really enjoy watching good ballroom dancing. And this is nothing like good ballroom dancing. }( (That second sentence just flew out of the keyboard automatically.)

 

I loved the judge's question to Mario: "Do you have extra batteries in your pants?" ;-)

 

There's been some nattering around the net today that Lopez may have lied about his past training and/or is a ringer. I actually expected him to be a lot more of a clumsy jock, and Joey Lawrence to be a lot less of a clumsy jock. Both were great surprises.

 

Springer and Carlson have to go, but they almost HAVE to have easy pickings in the early part of the competition.

Joey is very married to his high school? sweetheart.

Does anyone know what happened to Mario's very very short lived marriage? Maybe they were really only batteries in his pants :+

This bio from Mario Lopez' listing on the IMDB should answer a couple of questions above. Note the items *'d:

 

1991 graduate of Chula Vista High School.

 

Was an amateur wrestler while in high school, and was on his high school wrestling team.

 

Has a younger sister, Marissa, who is married to Houston Texans linebacker, Kailee Wong.

 

Mario Lopez was a state placewinner in California at 189 pounds in 1990, contrary to popular belief, he was not a state champion.

 

* Athletics aside, his true passion in life is dancing. He has aspirations of one day dancing at Radio City music hall in New York City. Before being cast in "Saved by the Bell" (1989), Lopez was a dancer.

 

He is a talented drummer and played drums on the 80s show "Kids Incorporated" (1984).

 

In episode "Second Chance" of the fifth season, the ballet moves performed by Slater were in fact done by professional dancer/stunt man Martin P. Morales Jr.

 

Is of Mexican descent.

 

* Proposed to actress/model Ali Landry in summer 2003.

He allegedly cheated on his wife-to-be, actress Ali Landry, one day before the wedding and after the wedding. He was caught by onlookers cheating at his bachelor party. This is why Ali Landry got the marriage annulled.

 

Briefly worked at Coggin Honda in Orlando, Florida.

Isn't "annulled" a peculiar status?

 

Perhaps a good Catholic boy (or even a mediocre Catholic boy) could jump in here, but isn't annullment only granted when the marriage hasn't been consumated?

 

Perhaps annulled is a special legal status? Do we have any good (or even mediocre) divorce attorneys?

 

I'm just curious what annulled really means.

I'm not a Catholic and for that reason I can't guarantee the info I am about to post - however.......

 

I think I recall that many people have been able to get an "annulment" from the church (via the Vatican, I think) in concideration of a substantial cash payment (does that surprise you?) even although the marriage is of a long duration and it has been consumated countless times. They seem to run their church like a business.

 

I would be intersted to know that if the church annulles the marriage, what is it's status in the eyes of the state where the marriage occured. In other words, does the government recognise that it is finished or is there a further process one must go through to be legally unmarried?

Would this not disqualify him from the contest? It's hard to believe that the producers would not have checked this out prior to selecting him.

Hmmm.... wonder what sex his partners were? Maybe he did his best man.

He could have sold me a car even if I couldn't drive.

The Catholic Church considers a "marriage" to be more than just a union of two persons, but also a sacrament, which is taken very seriously. Marriages can be annulled when they believe that the sacrament was not truly a part of the union.

 

This is solely a spiritual thing, so it is totally separate from a divorce. If a couple is granted an annulment, that does not mean they are divorced. They must also seek a divorce, which is a civil matter.

 

As for the comment of "paid" annulments ... sure, it's happened. It is important to remember that the "church" is made up of people. And people, not even the pope himself, is perfect.

 

As for the other comment about whether Mario's previous dancing ability should disqualify him from the show ... I would also raise a similar question about "Celebrity Duets". Should Jai Rodriguez (from 'Queer Eye'), who has sung professionally on Broadway, be a contestant? If I were the other contestants, I'd be complaining!

[PoppedRice]

Oy! I still remember some of my Catholic theology...12 years Catholic school, and the rest of life to feel guilty!

 

Technically, you don't get marriage annulled by just paying the Church (although in the reigns of some unscrupulous popes, you could).

 

Annulment basically is the result of an investigation into the marriage ceremony, to determine whether in fact the ceremenony was valid or not.

 

There are a number of ways in which the ceremony is not valid:

- lack of proper officials officiating the ceremony

- ambigous, defective or lack of consent to the marriage by both parties

- circumstances (at the time of marriage) that impedes the legality of the marriage

 

The first case is easy to prove. The third case is also fairly easy - e.g., 18 year old guy gettingg married to a 14 year old (passing her off as 18 during the ceremony, even though both consented)

 

Most marriage annulments fall in the 2nd category - which would be the scenario in which Ali Landry and Mario Lopez. FYI, this is a bitch to prove, so they really must have good evidence.

OK - here's the deal. Both should be disqualified. In order to avoid civil court proceedings for falsly representing themselves, they are to appear together on a one hour special where they are the only participants. They will be required to perform a striptease and when totally naked, Jai must sing romantic love songs to Mario while he dances around Jai. The MC for the show will be Tom Cruise who will be wearing black leather chaps and a white jockstrap.

 

Comercial breaks will be introduced by Tucker Carlson who will be wearing only a red bow tie. At this time, it has not been decided where exactly the tie will be located.

 

DVD's will be offered for free to the first 2 million viewers who send in a text message. All others will have to buy them for 50 cents.

annulment

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulment

 

 

getting an annulment in the Catholic Church is not the same as having an annulment in the eyes of the law. Generally speaking to get an annulment in state court you must prove "fraud involving the essentials of marriage", which can mean several things. Those can also vary by state. My guess is that the doritos chick testified that had she known our boy cheated on her the night before the wedding she would have never gone through with it. In some states that may be enough.

 

I don't think the Catholic church recognizes a state court- sanctioned annulment. Not sure though. The Catholics have a entirely separate proceeding.

 

BTW, there are some good pictures of Mario when he played Greg Louganis floating around. He showed a nice bulge in his speedos.

Contest? The only contest here is for ratings. He's young, he's pretty, he's immensely likeable in that "aww shucks" way, and he brings in women of all ages and gay men. (Note that some of the shots of upcoming shows have him dancing sleeveless. They know what they're working with.)

See above. ;-)

 

Next week's elimination will be a woman. Take your pick. The guys get the quickstep which any stiff can wander through. Women get the Mambo, which is MUCH more difficult to pull off. It's boy-girl-boy-girl until they get rid of the deadwood.

LOL! Yeah, I can see how they moved all those used cars. ;-)

Well here's one stiff that can't. If I tried I just know I'd fall all over myself. That dance takes more dexterity than I have.

After 6 weeks of 1-on-1 training with a professional dancer, personal choreography emphasizing your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, and a week to rehearse, I'll bet you'd do just fine. :9

Depending on who the instructor was, my butt might be too damn sore to walk - let alone dance. Shit - I might even be pregnant.

[Guest zipperzone]

Anyone see it tonight?

Shit is that Mario ever hot. He was wearing skin tight black pants and his butt was the star of the show. IMHO he is the hottest star around these days. Love to fill those dimples!

[+ deej]

I wanna lick the dimples while I'm filling something else. :9

 

I actually thought Joey Lawrence's performance was better, but a waltz will NEVER compete equally with a paso doble.

Here's a thought - How about Mario and Joey doing a paso doble together wearing nothing but jocks? Would that help boost the rateings? The old English queen judge, what's his name - Len? would probably have cardiac arrest right on the spot.
