This New Year’s Eve will rock for New Moon star Peter Facinelli. But it wasn’t always such a great holiday.

“I remember going to New York and not getting into the clubs on New Year’s Eve,” he says. “The ball dropped while I was standing outside some club, freezing. My friend was tired, so he pulled over, and we all fell asleep in the car on the way home, and the car battery died. It couldn’t get worse, man. At 3 a.m., calling your mom, and saying ‘can you come pick me up?’ I was, like, 16, which is why I didn’t get into the clubs – and you should not either.”

Mario Lopez says, “I would say not work as much, but I love to work, so maybe take a little more time to relax. Try to carve it out and not pile too much on the plate. And not miss church. I don’t want to miss church. I’m bad at missing church. I go during the week, if I miss mass … I’m going to try to go every week and actually come to mass. I try and be a good Catholic boy.”

I told them I’m interested, they know I’m interested, and hopefully one day they’ll think I’d be a good fit for the show. “

“He is the biggest, manliest dancer they have on that show, and I think for me to have a male dance partner, I would want someone that I felt very feminine next to. I think he’s the manliest dancer on the show.”

Happy New Year, everyone!
