I loved her as cute Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell. I did NOT like her as vixen Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills, 90210. I liked that she wasn’t stick thin and had a little bit of meat on her bones. Overall, I’m a fan of Tiffani Amber Thiessen.

Tiffani Amber Thiessen was born on January 23, 1974 in Long Beach, California. Her uncle is the one who suggested that she get into show business. She did some beauty pageants and modeling, and then landed some commercials. Her first big break came when she landed the role of Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell. When that ended, she changed gears and portrayed evil and bitchy Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills, 90210. Thiessen has also had small parts on shows like Charles in Charge, Married with Children, Valerie’s Family (aka The Hogan Family), Step by Step, and Blossom.

TIFFANI TRIVIA

• First commercial was for Peaches and Cream Barbie.
• Won Miss Junior America pageant in 1987.
• Won Teen magazine’s Great Model Search in 1988.
• Won Cover Girl magazine’s Model of the Year in 1989.
• Is good friends with Jennie Garth who portrayed Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills, 90210.
• Was valedictorian of her high school class in 1992.
• Has her own production company called Tit 4 Tat Productions. Tee hee. Tit.
• Jason Priestley and Tori Spelling attended her wedding in 2005.
• Was maid of honor at Jennie Garth’s wedding.
• Jennie Garth, Tiffani’s good friend, actually auditioned for the role of Kelly Kapowski.
• Turned down a role on Charmed to replace Shannen Doherty. Didn’t she also replace Doherty on 90210?
• Collects pigs.
• Dated Brian Austin Green. (He’s not a pig.)

Tiffani currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Brady Smith. The happy couple became first time parents just a few days ago. Their daughter Harper was born on June 15, 2010. Thiessen has recently played the role of Elizabeth Burke on the USA Network TV show, White Collar. The second season will begin airing on July 13, 2010. Thiessen should be able to keep herself busy between being a new mom and acting on a hit TV show. I wish her luck.

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.
