"Dancing with the Stars" heartthrob Mario Lopez will soon be dancing to a new tune: he'll be co-hosting "EXTRA's" weekend show alongside Tanika Ray.
"EXTRA's" Senior Executive Producer Lisa Gregorisch-Dempsey says, "Mario is a rapidly rising star and a dynamic personality on and off camera." Easy on the eyes too.
Never fear, though, you'll also be able to get your daily dose of Lopez as he joins joining Dayna Devon and Mark McGrath during the week on as a daily correspondent for the entertainment newsmagazine.
Watch as Mario makes his debut next week on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.

"EXTRA" correspondent Tanika Ray took her turn this morning in Star Jones' old seat on "The View" as a guest co-host, and brought a serious jolt of energy to the table, provoking crackling wit and wackiness from Barbara, Joy, and Elisabeth--and even inspired Barbara to pull her hair before the end of the show.
As the foursome cruised their way through the day's "Hot Topics," Ray pulled no punches providing her view on Oprah and Gayle King, Christie Brinkley, Brad Pitt, and, well, breasts. She also helped welcome guests Randy Jackson and Cheyenne Kimball to the show.
And just before signing off, Walters asked Ray about her billowing mane of hair, and verified its integrity by pulling at it. Tanika assured the audience that it was all real -- and that it's a lot easier to deal with than it looks.
Tanika returns to "The View" for another go-round on the hot seat on Friday's show.
