At The Hollywood Gossip, we bring you the latest celeb news and rumors … but we also like to play matchmaker from time to time. Or at least try.

Previously, we suggested that Miley Cyrus and David Archuleta get together. Seems like a great pairing, doesn’t it? Yeah, we think so too.

Well, tell us what you think of this couple - or who we think would be an awesome couple - Mario Lopez and The Hills‘ Audrina Patridge.

The recent TV Guide cover story featuring the two celebrities - and their super hot bodies! - got us thinking: they totally should date!

Audrina Patridge, Mario Lopez and others bring you celebrity diet tips in TV Guide.

In TV Guide, Mario and Audrina share celebrity diet tips for “HOT! SUMMER! BODS!” They involve very expensive personal trainers and in Audrina’s case, eating one bite of tuna fish a day. Okay, just kidding about the last part.

In any case, we think they look super hot together. We know Mario doesn’t have the ol’ ball-and-chain Karina Smirnoff to worry about anymore - right, Meghan Cooper? No, Mario Lopez nude is there for the taking nowadays.

All we need is for Audrina to dump Tal Cooperman!

Alleged actor and Meagan Cooper plaything Mario Lopez left the Schoenfeld Theatre on Wednesday in New York - where he is performing in the Broadway production of A Chorus Line - displaying a photo spread of himself naked!

The 34-year-old former Saved By The Bell star signed autographs for fans and held up the best shot of the Mario Lopez nude photo spread that everyone’s talking about from People’s Hottest Bachelor issue. Hot is right!

Look at the abs on Mario Lopez below. Yowza!

What’s not to love about Mario Lopez naked? Right, Meagan Cooper?

It’s been a roller coaster week for former Dancing with the Stars contestant and Bayside High School graduate Mario Lopez.

While the serious stud muffin was just named People’s Hottest Bachelor, he also stands accused of cheating on ex-girlfriend Karina Smirnoff.

Ironically, in the article touting Mario’s selection and physique, the aforementioned magazine asks him about his ideal mate:

“I like a girl who’s from a modest sort of upbringing, because it’s more relatable,” Lopez said. “I’m a first-generation American. My parents [Elvia and Mario Sr.] emigrated from Mexico and live in the same house I grew up in Chula Vista, Calif. I’d feel weird if the girl was a little too uppity or affluent, because I’m a very down-home kind of guy.”

Now that Meagan Cooper has told E! that she and Lopez carried on a year-long affair while he dated Smirnoff, the quote above makes one wonder just what kind of guy the actor truly is.

And that goes for all the Saved by the Bell alums. First ,Dustin Diamond came out with a sex tape, and now Mario Lopez is accused of cheating.

What’s next, Elizabeth Berkley gets naked in a movie about strippers?

There’s nothing like a little fun in the pool.

Especially if you’re C-list celebrities with no jobs… or at least ones that offer a heck of a lot of time off in between seasons.

On the left, The Hills‘ Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag chicken-fight their way to $10,000 paydays from a certain celebrity photo agency.

On the right, Dancing with the Stars‘ Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez show they’re still an item, frolicking in Miami and apparently indicating that they’d welcome the challenge of taking Spencer and Heidi down. Hard.

Who would win a chicken-fight between Speidi and Marina?

Looks like Mario Lopez is giving Matthew McConaughey a run for his gorgeous, topless money. Literally!

As the former Dancing with the Stars contestant and The Bold and the Beautiful star makes heads turn during a recent run on the beach, we have one piece of advice for his lucky ladyfriend:

Better keep an eye on your man, Karina Smirnoff! Lord knows every other female on the planet is.

Is Camila Alves dating the wrong shirtless stud? Mario Lopez is making a mockery of all other male physiques.

Life is none too shabby for Mario Lopez.

Instead of receiving attention for poorly made sex tapes like a former Saved by the Bell co-star named Dustin Diamond, he’s being paid to have good, clean fun with young, beautiful women.

Indeed, the Dancing with the Stars hunk is coming back for a third round as host of the Miss Teen USA pageant in Pasadena, Calif., on August 24. It’s an event that has not been without controversy.

The Donald Trump-owned pageant will crown a new winner to take over for Katie Blair, the 2006 champ who sparked controversy last year over her behavior with Miss USA Tara Conner. For those that missed out on this past celebrity news, we can sum it up with four words:

Girl. On. Girl. Action. 

Despite allegations of improper conduct and partying, Blair and Conner were allowed to keep their crowns and serve out their years.

Lopez, who’s also handled tiara duties for Miss USA and Miss America, will be joined at this year’s pageant by a pair of performers: singer Kat DeLuna and the Jonas Brothers, organizers told People magazine.

We assume his girlfriend, Karina Smirnoff, won’t be far away, either.

 
Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson have nothing on these two!

Mario Lopez and girlfriend Karina Smirnoff, his partner on last season’s Dancing with the Stars, recently took their relationship to the next level: They’re cohabiting.

“They recently moved in together,” a source close to the couple tells People magazine. “It was a big step to take, especially for Mario, but they both think this could be it. Things are going really well right and they’re loving being together all the time.”

Just like Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo.

The 33-year-old Lopez and the Ukrainian-born Smirnoff have always been coy about their romance since coming in second on Dancing with the Stars in November, but were spotted vacationing together in Mexico later that month.

Lopez, who will co-host the Miss Universe 2007 pageant on NBC live from Mexico City on May 28, told People at the time that he and Smirnoff had “a very special relationship” and said: “We’re great friends and very supportive of each other.”

Reps for both had no comment. But The Hollywood Gossip has a lot to say: Way to go, Slater! You beat out Dancing hottie Maksim Chmerkovskiy for this female’s heart.

Life is good for Mario Lopez.

Unlike fellow Saved By the Bell alumnus Dustin Diamond, the guy we grew to love as A.C. Slater isn’t making amateur sex tapes, cheating his few remaining fans or appearing on crappy reality shows like Celebrity Fit Club in order to make money.

No, since Lopez shot back to fame on Dancing with the Stars, he’s been living it up, sleeping with Karina Smirnoff and chilling with Oscar De La Hoya, Eva Longoria and others.

The future Mrs. Tony Parker is seen with Lopez in the picture below (as well as the photo he’s snapping), smiling ear to ear. Her mind is elsewhere, though - she’s probably thinking about her fun bridal shower or her upcoming nuptials.

The other girl in this picture doesn’t look as happy… or attractive. What the hell happened to Jessica Simpson, we have no idea. But even she knows she looks rough as hell at this point. This is a fashion wreck not even her large breasts can salvage.

Oh, and on the far left, we have Jessica’s pal and celebrity stylist, Ken Paves. He’s not straight, which is a-o-k with us - our only beef is that he’s doing a terrible job with her hair. Isn’t it your job to make Jess look hot? Get it together, K-Dog.

Unfortunately, sparring with Mario Lopez doesn’t win fights for Oscar De La Hoya.

Several days prior to his major match-up Saturday in Las Vegas against Floyd Mayweather – which resulted in De La Hoya’s losing in a split decision – the boxer held a friendly round with Lopez, a Golden Boy himself in the eyes of Karina Smirnoff.

“Its like shooting hoops with Kobe Bryant,” Lopez told People magazine of being in the ring with De La Hoya. “You know you’re going to lose, but it’s fun anyway.”

The former Dancing with the Stars favorite was far from the only celebrity on hand for this big fight over the weekend.

Also on hand at the MGM Grand Las Vegas for the bout were: Tobey Maguire, Jay Z, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Sheen, Eddie Murphy, Helen Mirren, Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson, Eva Longoria, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly, Michael Jordan, Michael J. Fox, Diddy, Sacha Baron Cohen, Will Farrell and Jermaine Dupri.

Couples such Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, and Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy were also in the house.

Meanwhile, One person who was very happy with Mayweather’s victory was his close pal, 50 Cent. The hip-hop star bet $1 million on the winner and walked out of the arena saying “easy money.”

After the fight, hip-hop royalty was on display – and even put on a mini-concert as the DJ spun their music – at Venetian’s Tao Nightclub. Hanging in the VIP booth: Jay Z, Usher (without fiancee, Tameka Foster), Diddy, 50 Cent, Jermaine Dupri, Young Jeezy, Nelly and Ashanti. Baron Cohen showed up later, but kept a hat low over his eyes.

“There’s been a lot of negativity given to hip hop lately, but I want you to look at this group,” Diddy said. “There is nothing but love up here.”

From theer, we assume, the mogul went home and showed more love to Kim Porter and their twin baby girls.

Should Karina Smirnoff be jealous?

While she’s busy dancing it up with stars, the Hollywood hunk Karina has been rumored to be dating is getting friendly with a beautiful reality show star. We can only guess what Mario Lopez thinking here?

Maybe if I show her the Dustin Diamond sex tape, she’ll want me to show her just what sort of lessons in love they taught us at Bayside High School …

We’re not sure if Kristin Cavallari would be game for such naked exploits, but the former Laguna Beach star must be yearning to get back in the spotlight.

After all, she basically paved the way for current OC-elebrities such as Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge. But now those beauties are receiving all the attention. Talk about unfair!

In all honesty, The Hollywood Gossip staff doesn’t know if Kristin and Mario are getting it on or not. They could just be friends. But if these hotties do wish to get back onto the front pages of celebrity gossip rags around the nation, there’s an easy solution.

And let’s just say Olivia Mojica has it all figured out.
