Mario Lopez Works Diaper Changing Into His Overbooked Schedule

By Bryan Alexander Posted Oct 11th 2010 12:08PM

Mario Lopez might be one of the busiest guys working in Hollywood, but he swears he's taking a very hands-on approach with his four-week-old daughter Gia.

The 'Extra' host tells PopEater that he's even helping girlfriend Courtney Mazza in the diaper-changing trenches.

"I'm the go-to-guy for diaper changing," he says, speaking from a ping pong-themed birthday party thrown for him by Celsius energy drink -- the couple's first public outing since Mazza gave birth last month. "I've gotten pretty good at it."

But just how many can he handle?

"I'm good for at least a couple a day -- one in the morning and one later on," says Lopez. "But she goes a lot."

The thought of it leaves him filled with fatherly awe.

"It's impressive the amount of stuff that comes out of the little thing," he says. "We're talking all the way up the back explosions."

They can be so bad that these episodes are the only times his normally calm baby seems the slightest bit temperamental.

"We're blessed, she takes after her mom, who has a nice disposition," he says. "Gia only cries when she's hungry or when she poops on herself, and wouldn't you? So it's really all about feeding her or changing her to calm her."

Of course, we'll see it all in Lopez's new reality show, 'Saved by the Baby,' which will air on VH1 on Nov. 1 and in an upcoming book on fatherhood, which Lopez is working on.

Lopez says he is working out the details of the book with his publisher. But the reality show is ready to roll and will take a look at his life, both old and new. "It looks at all the jobs I'm juggling and it's taking this journey as a first-time father," Lopez says.

We also checked in with girlfriend Courtney just to see if Mario is really up to snuff on his diaper changing.

"He's really good and really helpful," she tells us.

Maybe Mario Lopez is finally starting to grow up (sort of). I still don't think he's a dependable partner, though. I mean his marriage to Ali Landry lasted what, 3 days??? Who marries someone as gorgeous as her and STILL cheats on her a week before their marriage?

Mario is writing a book? Why? And, he's that hard up for material that he has to talk about diaper changing? Why does someone like this have an audience and makes money at doing absolutely NOTHING? yA GOTTA SHAKE YOUR HEAD ABOUT THIS ONE! My cat's feces stand up like sky scrapers in his litter box. Can I do a reality show about this?

By toughcritic

Have you ever heard of marriage Mario? Have you ever heard of marriage before procreating a child Mario? What in Hell did you learn in Catholic school Mario? Your a disgrace to your religion, and to men in general. Your the guy who got married to the former beauty queen, Ali Landry, and had sex with one of the bridesmaids the same day. You are a real sad case Lopez. We use to be a fan of yours when you were on Dancing With The Stars but then we learned you were banging Karina for over a year. Wow, what a guy, what a catch. Have you cheated on your new live in yet?

Hey Mario: Before extolling the virtues of fatherhood - man up and get MARRIED!! (And don't cheat on your honeymoon like last time.) Yeesh. Hope your "girlfriend" wears a haz-mat suit when she has sex with you.

Mario IS a "dirty diaper"!

The best thing about Mario, ran down his mommas legg.........

By Mike

Yeah, he's a real pro. I've got 120 "kid years" as a father and 60 "kid years" as a grandfather, and this phony's only got 4 weeks. What a fraud.

By Chuck

Gee maybe now he'll marry the girl.

By Mary

If he wants to talk about fatherhood why does he not marry the mother of his child? All Mario is selling is unwed father hood. How is that an example of good behavior? Grow up and either Marry the mother or be quiet!!

By beatledonny

i agree with mary,,my god marry the women,,and i might add save your writing!!we dont need a fatherhood book from a man who hasent married the mother of his child..better yet mario write a book about how you slep your why in HollyWood! the Dicevtors chouch!!!

By Drew

They are both mexican pig anchor children born here illegally to illegal aliens from mexico. DEPORT THEM !!!

By Deborah

I don't know how a man can write a book after being a father for just 4 weeks!!!

By cat5400

Sorry, I wouldn't marry him now if I were her. He's a sleeze ball.
