7/1 - Does Mario Manscape?

Okay, have we got a good one today!  Or so Raoul, our in-touch-with-his-femine-side producer, tells me, anyway. Me? I'd rather have more pictures of Katherine Heigl in a bikini.  That aside, the pressing question today is:  Does Mario Lopez manscape?  (And if you're not up on your popular culture, apparently 'manscape', in this instance, means to wax, pluck, laser or shave one's chest.  Why they don't just say, 'wax, pluck, laser or shave', I don't know...)   Does this help with lowering the price of gas?  Does this help the flood victims in southern Wisconsin and Iowa?  Does this help you decide for whom to vote this November?  No, but does mean two shots of Mario without his shirt, ladies.  First, though the story:

Recently named to a magazine's hot bachelor list, Mario was asked during the accompanying interview if he "manscapes," which means removing excess body hair via waxing, shaving, laser or plucking. He responded, "Not at all. That's the Latin Indian blood in me. My Dad has a hairy chest, but I don't."  So how come he has a hairy chest in this 2003 photo... and a bare one in a more recent one?
