Welcome to the Short List, where you’ll find all the news and entertainment tidbits worth digesting for the day.
Today, sexy Mario shows off his backside, crazy Sinead’s back with her ex, and much more!
*DILF-in-training Mario Lopez, 40, has a new line of underwear called RatedM.com. And he’d be happy if us gays turned it into the new 2(x)ist: “Gay fans are very loyal. And very cool… They’re the smartest and the hippest,” says Lopez (right). “They determine what’s hot out there.” If you want to see the Saved By the Bell veteran flex his abs (um, duh) check out the video at bottom.

*There are tons of LGBT contenders on the next season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, which is interesting given Donald Trump‘s lousy views on gay rights. Gay boys Clay Aiken and George Takei are joined by ex-Dannity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day and Venezuelan model/actress Patricia Velasquez, both of whom are bisexual. Hmm, is it illegal to discriminate against gays in the reality-TV workplace? [SheWired]
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
*Calling all budding opera stars: Newly-engaged Aretha Franklin wants you. [NPR]
*Wedding bells are ringing in Riverdale: Archie’s gay pal Kevin Keller is tying the knot with his hot boyfriend in Life with Archie #16, in comic shops now. [ACLU]
*Onetime lesbian Sinead O’Connor is actually not getting divorced from her drug-counselor husband, who she led on a search for weed/crack on their wedding night. They’re just going to go back to acting like girlfriend and boyfriend. And the institution of marriage suffers yet another blow. [Page Six, Gawker]
*Speaking of bi ladies, Monica Spannbauer, one of the contestants on the new episode of ABC’s The Bachelor says she likes boys and girls. Will she make a move on one of the other women? [E!, WetPaint]
* Seems like Isaac Mizrahi got tired of designing all those wedding dresses and decided to get hitched himself. The 50-year-old married longtime boyfriend Arnold Germer at New York’s City Hall in November but just announced it on The Wendy Williams Show yesterday. “In the end, I think maybe on the year anniversary, we’ll have a giant shindig,” Mizrahi said. “And yes, I will call Vera Wang and she will do my dress.” [OnTheRedCarpet.com]

The Urethra Franklin thing? It’s gotta be a joke. She can’t be THAT stupid, can she?
There are SO many “up and coming” opera singers that there isn’t ROOM for all of them. What the hell does she know about opera?

Is there no audio on the Mario video?
Vasquez
Mario is so cheezy. How is he even relevant? I met him at the Grove taping his show. Two observations, short and heavily made up to cover complexion.
Vince
First of all, Mario has the sex appeal of a ficus tree. He’s attractive in the way a Ken doll is attractive…like all plastic, with nothing there. Also, I’m pretty sure his dick is small. And sorry guys, his ass ain’t that great. Watch any NFL game and compare that pancake ass of Mario’s to the round, tight, bubbly ass of most any fit black footballer’s. Now that’s an ASS. Mario’s is no comparison.
Spike
I see Ken Doll bulge. I thought most underwear models aspire to become actors, this clown aspires to be a underwear model. His underwear line is gonna tank.

Looks like we’re all on Team Zack, then.
Jared
Mario your looking hot darling! Just love those dimples.

@Spike: I would guess that what Mario is aspiring to is making the most of the situation he finds himself in. Isn’t that true for most of us?

Lopez is much better than Beckham.
