Mario Lopez, and his g/f Ali Landey are going to be part of the upcoming return of "The Battle of the NBC Stars." It'll be like "The Battle of the Network Stars," but with just NBC stars. The special will air soon on NBC.

Visit this thread later on for further information.

Unlike previous specials, this is composed purely of NBC stars, not stars competing from different networks. Each team will have five celebrities, I believe, nicknamed the Blue and Red Teams. Information can be found here: http://nbcmv.com/entertainment/program_detail.nbc/battleofthenbcstars.html

For those too lazy, it says: "Small-screen and sports stars engage in gladiatorial games for glory and charity in this special taped at Squaw Creek Resort in Lake Tahoe. Tony Potts ('Access Hollywood') hosts this new, edgy version of the popular specials, and Olympic Gold Medalists Picabo Street (Super G - 1998; silver, downhill -- 1994) and Dan O' Brien (decathlon 1996) serve as captains of the two celebrity teams: blue and red, respectively. Comprising the blue team are Mario Lopez ("America's Most Talented Kid," "The Other Half"), Brooke Burns ("Dog Eat Dog"), Drake Hogestyn ("Days of Our Lives") and Amelia Marshall ("Passions") and Ross "the Intern" Matthews ("The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno"); the red team is Rena Sofer ("Coupling"), Neil Flynn ("Scrubs"), Dondre Whitfield ("Hidden Hills") and Justin Long ("Ed"). Head-to-head they meet in sea battles on Sea-Doos and "dunk boats," plus soar almost 10,000 ft. above sea level to attempt a "Big Swing" over a cliff and a game of "Mountain Bowling." Robert Horowitz ("All-Star Olympic Salute," "Sports Illustrated's 20th Century Sports Awards") is the executive producer and Scott Messick ("Survivor," "Boot Camp") is the co-executive producer and director of this production from TWI, the television division of Mark McCormack's IMG.
