Maria Menounos Strips To Her Bikini In Times Square After Lost Super Bowl Bet


If you were rooting for the Patriots last night, you’re probably feeling pretty bummed out right about now. But here’s something to help cheer you up a little bit! And if you happened to be Team Giants, well then here’s yet another reason to celebrate. Extra host and Pats superfan Maria Menounos made a bet with fellow co-anchors Mario Lopez and AJ Calloway last week that the New Englanders would go on to win their fourth Super Bowl victory. If they didn’t, she would bare her bikini bod on air in frigid Times Square!

Sadly for her — but great for the rest of us — she lost the wager and ended up having to strip down to a tiny Giants-themed swimsuit as a crowd of fans looked on. No word on what the guys had to do if that Patriots won, but honestly, we’re too mesmerized with these photos to care. We bet they’ll even make Tom Brady smile today!

Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries Join The Short Marriage Club

Looks like Kim Kardashian’s divorce from Kris Humphries is now official. “After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage,” Kim said in a statement to E! News. “I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.” Meanwhile, new hubby Kris sounds a lot less thrilled about the announcement, saying in a statement, “I’m committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents. I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce … I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.” They still had that new marriage smell, too!

While Kim and Kris might be ready to sign those divorce papers only 72 days after their nuptials, they are nowhere near the first celebrity couple to bail out of their wedded bliss just weeks or months after walking down the aisle. From Mario Lopez to Britney Spears, Liz Taylor to Lisa Marie Presley, let’s look back at our favorite shortest Hollywood marriages:

J. Lo’s Ex-Husband Would Like You To See Her Genitals

Ojani Noa & Jennifer Lopez

A year after Jennifer Lopez sued ex-husband Ojani Noa to keep him from releasing sexy video footage of herself, we now know just what Ojani’s got in his memory chest. While the pair never made a sex tape, he does have clips of J. Lo flashing Cubans on holiday! “JLo is riding a scooter in public in Cuba, while talking to the camera and numerous by-standers, with her privates in as plain view as Paris Hilton, “Britany Spears and Lindsay Lohan have in the past,” explains agent Edward Meyer to Radar, with legal papers saying the singer showed “deviant behavior by consensually exposing her genital area in public,” which she gave “full consent” to Noa to tape. Personally, we’d argue exposing her Gigli to the public was far more deviant.

Meyer’s argument that he shouldn’t be bound by any deal Lopez made with Noa seems a little specious, and we wouldn’t be surprised if this footage fails to see the light of day. But if Noa tried to audition for American Idol, odds are this guy will continue to be a thorn in J. Lo’s side for…well, ever. Check out photos of the fully-dressed star with Denzel Washington and Mario Lopez at a Boys and Girls Club event yesterday in the gallery below.

Divorce Is Official, But Did Tony Have An Affair?

eva_tony_main

The media firestorm known as The Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Break-Up continues this afternoon with a twist straight out of Desperate Housewives. Extra reports that Eva found hundreds of intimate texts on Tony’s cell phone from the wife of a fellow San Antonio Spurs player. Eva herself apparently told Extra reporter and close friend Mario Lopez about her husbands indiscretions, which put an end to their three-year relationship.

“She is devastated, and wants us all to know that,” Lopez said on Extra. “But she’s strong.” The actress went on to say that this would not be the first time her husband has strayed. According to her, Tony had an relationship with another woman at the start of their marriage, and still kept in contact with her through Facebook.

Longoria filed for divorce this afternoon citing irreconcilable differences. She tweeted “It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce. We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness.”

Carey Mulligan Is Infatuated With Mario Lopez

As a kid, Carey Mulligan watched Saved By The Bell just like we did. She wholeheartedly admits to having a crush on Mario Lopez because of his portrayal as jock meat-head A.C. Slater (we were more Team Zack ourselves). What’s so cute about this teenage crush (beyond the fact that she actually admits it) is that now that Mulligan’s a star who occasionally gets interviewed by Lopez, she turns back into a twelve-year-old girl and gets giddy at the sight of him.

Speaking at the L.A. Times Young Hollywood Round Table, Mulligan explained, “I’m always thrilled when I see [Lopez]. He hosts a show and every time, all the way through awards season, every time we did a red carpet and I saw A.C. Slater, I was like a complete disaster. I went bright red … and they make you stand really close to these people — uncomfortably close — and because of the camera angles, I was always within sort of kissing distance. Every one of my dreams has come true this year, including that.” We could not love her any more.

No word on what Jessie Spano’s reaction to this is, however we doubt that she’s so excited to hear that someone is moving in on her man A.C. Fellow Mario lovers can catch him on VH1 every Monday at 10:30 PM EST, in his show Saved By The Baby. Carey, we know you watch!

Mario Lopez On Childbirth: “It Was Like A CSI Episode”

mario-lopez

Pregnant women everywhere cringed and crossed their legs today as Mario Lopez described the birth of his brand-new baby girl Gia Francesca Lopez as being like a police procedural. Describing the delivery of his new baby, Mario Lopez explained, “I peeked over too much … you don’t want to do that ’cause there was a lot going on right there.” A-a-a-a-and we are suddenly light-headed.

Says Lopez ,”It was like a CSI episode. So I went back and this beautiful baby girl came out.” Maybe Mario is just referring to the end of a CSI episode, where the crime is solved and everyone is filled with a hard-earned but satisfying sense of justice. Maybe? Please?

Lopez almost missed the birth of baby Gia, at first thinking girlfriend Courney Mazza was just pulling his leg when she called to tell him she was in labor. “I thought it was a practical joke,” explained Mario. “Then my mom and sister started blowing up my phone and telling me it’s really happening. There was one flight left and we barely made it!” Apparently over his initial shock, Lopez is swooning over his new daughter, exclaiming, “She’s precious … I just want to go and stare at her.” For those of us eager to stare at Mario, he and Courtney will be starring in their own VH1 reality show, set to premiere some time this fall.

Congratulations to the happy couple and the new little Lopez! Now excuse us while we put our heads between our legs for a while and try not to pass out.

Teri Hatcher Is A Tri-Hard

teri-hatcher-main

If there’s something more guaranteed to make us feel more sloth-like than we already do after a weekend of wine, cheese and cake it’s seeing pictures of forty-something celebrities doing triathalons. First Jennifer Lopez impressed us with her supermom fitness after having twins, now Teri Hatcher, who’s 44, took part in the Nautica Triathalon yesterday in Malibu.

Still looking gorgeous (how? She’s in a wetsuit FFS), Teri swam half a mile, ran four and cycled 18 miles along the arduous course alongside other celebs like Desperate Housewives co-star Felicity Huffman, Mario Lopez and Anna Kournikova. Congratulations Teri – and it’s so reassuring that you’re not at all like your alter-ego Susan Mayer, who no doubt would have had a “comedy” struggle to get into her wetsuit and then fallen “hilariously” into the sea.

After a stint as Miss USA, starring as the Doritos Girl, and a divorce from Mario Lopez, life is pretty good for Ali Landry as she plays on the beach in Malibu with her 1-year-old daughter Estela. Estela’s father is Alejandro Gomez Monteverde, who Ali married in 2006. Ali has a lot to smile about – besides her super cute family and smokin’ hot body, the actress has a birthday coming up this month on the 21st. [Photos: Splash News Online]

Fergie Marries Josh, Now Able To Eat Food Again

Aww, super-cute couple Fergie and Josh Duhamel tied the knot on Saturday in what sounds like a stylish wedding day. People carries all the juicy details, from the ten (TEN!) bridesmaids dressed in ‘contrasting black’ to the bride’s Dolce e Gabbana gown, her ‘crystal-studded’ bouquet and the ‘white gold with a brushed finish’ design of Josh’s ring, not to mention the eclectic group of celebrity guests (Mario Lopez! Kid Rock! Slash!)

But the best news for the new Mrs Duhamel must have been the wedding meal after the service. Poor Stacey has been working out every day and presumably, eating very little in order to lose the 13lb she gained for her role in movie Nine. And she did it. Congrats, Fergs. Now have this cupcake and eat it in bed on honeymoon with your gorgeous husband. [Photo: Splash News Online]
