Dancing With The Stars’ Mario Lopez is releasing his own exercise book. Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness is to be released on May 13th.

The book features Mario’s hot bod on the front, but I doubt that will help him sell copies.

Will you read it?

Last week I posted some pictures of Mario Lopez giving friend Eva Longoria a “Love” necklace, designed by Cartier. Turns out – it was all part of an elaborately staged prank.

It’s true that Eva Longoria-Parker and Mario Lopez are friends, but the Cartier necklace he gave her on March 6 is fake! In Touch can exclusively reveal that the pair were setting up a skit for Ashton Kutcher’s new reality show with a twist, Pop Fiction. In fact, a video crew even followed the friends to the Hornitos tequila-sponsored opening of Eva’s restaurant Beso later that night. The show picks up where Punk’d left off, with celebrities acting out fake scenes in front of paparazzi.

ITW

Eva will be 33 on March 15.  A few of her fellow Desperate Housewives costars came out, including Marcia Cross and Dana Delany.  Sheryl Crow, Mario Lopez and her trusty hair stylist Ken Paves were also spotted.

Hmmm….

See the necklace close up after the jump! (more…)

Mario Lopez has topped a new American magazine poll to find the star with the best chest. The Saved By The Bell star, who is hotly tipped to take over from veteran gameshow host Bob Barker on The Price Is Right, beat Hollywood hunks Hugh Jackman and Matthew MCConaughey in the new In Touch Weekly poll. Lopez landed the top spot after telling the publication he owes his super shape to cycling and boxing.

The top five is:

• 1. Mario Lopez
• 2. Hugh Jackman (mmm, I agree!)
• 3. Matthew MCConaughey
• 4. Josh Duhamel
• 5. John Mayer
