Mario Lopez wants to get back together Karina Smirnoff – at least on the dance floor.

“I love dancing and she’s the best partner and the best teacher, and I’d be honored if she would dance with me,” Lopez told People at ESPN The Magazine’s ESPY Style Studio Monday. So does that mean everything is amicable between the two, despite her recent claims of his cheating? “Oh yeah, everything’s all good.”

Never far from the dance floor – Lopez is currently starring in A Chorus Line – insists he is a solo act these days.

“I’m not looking for Miss Right right now. I’m just sort of working on becoming Mr. Right. Make sure it happens. It’s going to happen,” he said. So he isn’t dating anyone? “No, unfortunately I haven’t had a chance. I’ve just been working. I’m just dating my Broadway show and my book.”

People’s 34-year-old Hottest Bachelor does admit that his steamy spread in the magazine has brought him no shortage of female admirers. “People come up to me and ask me to sign it a lot. [They say] ‘What were you thinking?’ And ‘how did it feel?’ And ‘you’re naked!’ And ‘oh my gosh!’ And ‘my mother and my grandmother, they put it up in their room.’ And it’s funny. I didn’t think it was going to cause such a big stir.”

Mario Lopez has turned down a $200,000 offer to strip naked for Playgirl magazine.

Bosses for the publication approached him with the cash deal recently after they saw a series of photographs of the hunk’s buff body in U.S. tabloids.

The actor, who is currently starring in A Chorus Line on Broadway, says, “It’s not something for me at the moment.”

Fergie is making girls around the world salivate with jealousy after actor Mario Lopez revealed she was the lucky girl to steal his first kiss.

The pair starred together as children in 1980s popular series Kids Incorporated before their careers took off, and began dating when Lopez was a mere ten-years-old.

But the actor - recently awarded People magazine’s Hottest Bachelor in 2008 - admits he’s not ashamed to boast of his famous first liaison, because stardom hasn’t changed Fergie’s charming ways.

He tells the magazine, “I’m very proud of my first kiss! It was with Fergie… She says there was no tongue… She like to point out that I was very smooth because I bought her perfume. She has stayed just as sweet as when we were kids.”

Mario Lopez cheated on ex-girlfriend Karina Smirnoff with a Texan bartender, according to a new tabloid expose.

The actor split with Smirnoff earlier this month after an 18-month-long romance, which began when they were paired up as dance partners on TV competition Dancing with the Stars.

But San Antonio waitress Meaghan Cooper claims Lopez romanced her for 11 months behind Smirnoff’s back.

The 22-year-old tells Star magazine, “He has a lot of great qualities, but he’s not the most faithful person in the world.

“He told me he lived alone, but I opened up his closet and saw a row of women’s shoes and said, ‘Either you’re a cross-dresser or a woman is living here.’ Mario said Karina just left her stuff there and was moving out. He kept telling me he and Karina were broken up.”

Eva Longoria Parker and Mario Lopez missed out on romance because they were never single at the same time - and he’s bitter.

Newly single after splitting from his Dancing with the Stars partner Karina Smirnoff, Lopez reveals he has reluctantly had to settle for being friends with Desperate Housewives beauty Longoria Parker. And he confesses he’s jealous of the actress’ basketball star husband Tony Parker.

Lopez says, “We never dated. Unfortunately. We met a long time ago, and she was always with somebody or I was with somebody. But we hit it off and I have the utmost respect for her. Tony Parker is a lucky guy. I was in (sic) her wedding. I walked her mum down the aisle.”

SINCE WHEN! EWWW!! I do not agree at all!

We first met PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor when he played good-guy A.C. Slater on Saved by the Bell. He’s since moved on to Dancing with the Stars and is now co-host of Extra’s weekend edition and star of Broadway’s A Chorus Line. Still, Lopez, 34 – here recreating Mark Wahlberg’s famous “Marky Mark” pose – says he wasn’t always so fit: “I was a fat, fat baby. I looked like a sumo wrestler. My mom had to pull the fat folds apart when she bathed me!”

What do you guys think… is Mario really all that hot?
