ZTAMS BLOG

I remember setting up my wonderful and beautiful niece Nicole’s very first email account for her in the 90′s. She asked for the user name “AaronFan”. Her first crush was Aaron Carter. How sweet. I didn’t really know who he was at the time, but I eventually learned. Many teen idols fade after a year or two. Aaron hasn’t really ever gone away.

Aaron Charles Carter was born on December 7, 1987 in Florida and was pushed into show business shortly after. He started singing in the band Dead End when he was seven. Do little kids really want to do that? I wonder about young celebrities. Are they there because they want to be or are they there because mom and dad want them there? Anyway, Aaron made his first solo appearance when he got to open for his brother’s band in 1997. He was nine.

AARON CARTER TIDBITS

• Is a big Bruce Springsteen fan.
• Has dated actress Hilary Duff.
• Younger brother of Backstreet Boy member Nick Carter.
• Has a twin sister (Angel).
• Got a scuba diving certificate at age 8.
• Has dated Lindsay Lohan.
• Very talented and can play many different instruments.
• Was engaged when he was 12. Okay, maybe he was a bit older but not much. He broke it off a few days later. Good choice.

Aaron is also an actor, having appeared in such TV shows as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Family Affair, and 7th Heaven. He has appeared on Broadway in the musical Seussical. Some of Aaron’s movies include Fat Albert and Popstar. I actually watched Popstar which Aaron had a starring role in. I didn’t watch it to see Aaron. I watched it to see a former love of mine, Leif Garrett. Leif played the janitor. Fitting.

I watched Aaron on Dancing with the Stars last year. He and his partner finished fifth. I felt bad for him because he tried so hard and I could see the disappointment in his eyes each time the judges critiqued him. I’ve been in that situation. Not with dancing, but with my music. I would try so hard but never knew exactly what my teacher wanted. There are some things that are hard to teach/explain. I applaud Aaron for his hard work on that show. Maybe it’s an age thing. I don’t know. I just remember always feeling bad for him because he worked so hard and it seemed like the judges were always putting him down. Balls.

I believe Aaron is hard at work on some new music. He seems to have done so much already in life and he’s barely just 20. I hope he doesn’t get burned out and I hope he’s doing what he truly wants to do, not what others want him to do. He’s a talented guy and hard working. I expect we’ll be hearing about this “kid” in the future.

I’m not quite sure what he’s best known for. I remember seeing him on Johnny Carson and thought he was adorable. He showed up on the TV show Gimme a Break a short time after that.

Joey Lawrence was born as Joseph Lawrence Mignogna, Jr. on April 20, 1976 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His family’s surname was changed to Lawrence during his childhood. His first series was Gimme a Break with Nell Carter when he was only six years old. That show ended in 1987. He got his next big series in 1990 where he portrayed dumb good looking boy with great hair, Joey. His catchphrase “Whoa” became well known throughout the country. The Blossom years are when Joey became a teen idol and he started appearing in all of the teen magazines such as Bop and Tiger Beat. Blossom ended in 1995 and his new series started later that year. Brotherly Love had all three Lawrence brothers (Joey, Matthew, and Andrew). I liked this show. It was cute. Joey also started a singing career around this time. I don’t know how successful he was, but he looked good. Joey went on to be in many other films and TV shows. He also competed in Dancing with the Stars where he finished third behind Emmitt Smith and Mario Lopez. Mario should have SO won that competition. Whatever. I’m still mad about that.

Other than the dimples on my butt, I can’t think of more gorgeous ones than those belonging to Mario Lopez. Like most people, I first noticed Mario when he portrayed Slater on Saved By the Bell. BTW, I still watch that show every morning from 5:00-6:00 while I’m getting ready for my grown up job.

Mario Lopez was born in San Diego on October 10, 1973. I guess he’s mainly an actor but is also a host, dancer, athlete, and bad drummer. His first gig was in 1984 when he portrayed Tomas on the TV show a.k.a Pablo. After that he was a dancer and drummer on Kids Incorporated which also starred Stacy Ferguson (Fergie), Jennifer Love Hewitt, Marta “Martika” Marrero, and Ryan Lambert.

He started playing Albert Clifford “A.C.” Slater in Saved by the Bell in 1989. This show also starred Mark Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Amber Thiessen, Dustin Diamond, Lark Voorhies, and Elizabeth Berkley.

Mario did lots of stuff after Saved By the Bell. I remember him on some segment you would watch as you’re waiting in line for Space Mountain at Disneyland. Does anyone else remember that? Some of the other shows and movies he was in:

• He played Greg Louganis in the 1997 TV movie Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story. Mario in a speedo. Praise Jesus.
• He played police officer Bobby Cruz in the 2000 TV show Pacific Blue. I think that’s where he rode around on a bike in tiny shorts.
• He played Dr. Christian Ramirez on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. I would love to play doctor with Mario.
• He was butt naked (literally) in Nip/Tuck. Praise Jesus more.
• I loved the talk show he did called The Other Half. It was basically Mario along with Danny Bonaduce. Dick Clark was actually part of some shows but he didn’t seem to be around as much as the other two. The show added some dork named Dorian Gregory in the last year. We’re not gonna fall for the banana in the tail pipe.
• I started watching Dancing with the Stars because of Mario Lopez. He danced on the third season of Dancing with the Stars and was the runner up to Emmitt Smith. Mario was definitely the better dancer, but I guess Emmitt had a bigger fan base.

Some other useless Mario trivia:

• Girls were heartbroken when Mario was taken off the market in 2004……for a whole 18 days. He was married to Ali Landry from 4/24/04 to 5/12/04. She had the wedding annulled after hearing of Mario’s alleged infidelity at his bachelor party and then again after they got married. Slut.
• He’s a close friend of Eva Long-whore-ia, I mean Longoria. I wonder how close they are? Mmmm….
• He did it in Dick Clark’s hot tub (he said something like that on The Other Half).
• He became a permanent host for the news magazine show Extra in 2008.
• He made his Broadway debut in 2008 as Zach in A Chorus Line. Don’t you have to be able to sing in order to be in a musical?
• He auditioned to take over for Bob Barker on The Price is Right. That gig went to Drew Carey who drives me crazy.
• He is the host for many different pageants. He has hosted Miss Teen USA, Miss America, Miss Universe, and Miss Skanky Ass. Okay. I made up that last one.

Mario seems like a super nice guy. I’ve never thought anything else in all the years I’ve been watching him. My friend thinks he’s gay. My gaydar is pretty good and I just don’t see anything gay with Mario, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I hope he keeps smiling and taking off his clothes for many years to come.
