Mario Dances Again Tonight
Posted on March 24, 2008 1:40 PM
It's that time again -- "Dancing With The Stars" airs at 8pm tonight on ABC and you know I am going to be rooting for Mario. Tonight all 12 celebrity contestants (6 men and 6 women) -will face off before the first double elimination...
Here's Mario's performance from last Monday -- he was a big hit with the judges.
SOHH caught up with Mario last week -- Click here to read the story.
Here are some outtakes that didn't make the final story:
"You didn’t like the outfit? The white pants? Look I loved it," Mario said in defense of his mint green/tight white pants costume. "Let me explain something. A real man can wear ballroom pants. I’mma be honest with you -- I tried to wear more loose fitting ballroom pants and my moves didn’t look as crisp. The point of the type of pants and shirt is so the actual moves can be seen, if you’re wearing too big of clothes you’re not going to see it. But you’re not going to catch me in a video in ballroom pants, or shopping on Melrose or 5th avenue in ballroom pants, it’s not going to happen. Now if my girlfriend was to ask me, 'Baby would you wear ballroom pants for me tonight?' I would do it for her."
Mario also addressed the trend of enlisting d-list status celebs to compete for "Dancing with The Stars":
"I feel as though this is a great show for me to do because of the demographic. This is the most diverse cast they’ve ever had. The show has the stigma of being a show with 'has beens
but hopefully with me and some of the other castmates we can change that stigma."
Mario also revealed that he's scheduled to shoot a new video for his third single "Music for Love" very soon.
In the meantime, here's the vid for "Crying Out For Me"
Talk to me y'all! What do you think about Mario appearing on "Dancing with the Stars"?

Good for his I say, and his latest album is solid and hopefully the show will generate more sales for it.
Ballroom pants ? Nobody can make me wear ballroom pants fuck that.
Aunt Viv isnt considered D-list, Laila Ali, Mayweather, Ive never heard that D-list stigma about this show! if it was d-list starts i know i wouldnt watch because I hardly pay attention to any of them. maybe C-list but not d-list! and the list are categorized by HOLLYWOOD standards, some people alot of people love and enjoy may be considered c or d-list just because of box office numbers of something! off the subject but kathy griffin is considered d-list and this lady makes GUAP in everything she does!
Yes, I will be tuning in to watch Mario's sexy lil ass!!!
Mario knows what he is doing, get that promo and push that album Can't wait for Music For Love... HATERS FALL BACK
I don't know what Mario is thinking going on this show for wash up stars. Do he consider himself a wash up ??
I say good for him for stepping out the box. I think that this is great publicity for him. Its a good look Mario, keep it up! And as far as this show being a stepping block for d-list actors to get back on the hollywood map, I agree with that, but I can't think of any better way to get back on the radar. These people work real hard during the show so I have to give them kudos...shit it's better t.v. than the hills or flavor of love...
