Besides being dedicated to making a crowd roar with laughter, George Lopez has been a master at holding down a positive political dialogue during the Democratic National Convention.

Our street teamer, Michael Gonzalez caught the comedian urging everyone, including Latinos to get out and vote:

I don't feel like this country is serving not only Latinos, but people who are vital to this country and those are the people that get up and work hard everyday to make a difference in peoples lives. That is a Black, White, Asian, Latino thing. We have a chance in this election to make a difference.

You heard the man...¡Sí se puede! Who will you be taggin' your ballot for in November '08?

Chismes have been swirling that George Lopez may end up flashing his suave moves for the next season of ABC's Dancing With The Stars. While our spies are traveling the grapevine for the real scoop, we are wondering whether our pro-Obama homie would flex his dancing skills better than the show's alum Mario Lopez. Better yet, will he be paired with Mr. Lopez's ex-novia Karina Smirnoff? [Lossip]

Judging by Mario's moves on "America's Best Dance Crew"...

And his caliente dance with Eva Longoria at last year's ALMA Awards...

George has a lot to live up to! Si o no?

EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: George's rep officially denied that the comedian will be getting his groove on in Dancing With The Stars. Hey, it was entertaining while it lasted!

George Lopez may be acting in the new dramatic dark comedy “Henry Poole is Here,” but the self-proclaimed cabezón does not plan on letting go of his goofy ways. In fact, Lopez is going to be running the streets of Los Angeles as a viciously hilarious canine in "Beverly Hills Chihuahua."

The actor spoke about his new Disney adventure to MTV News:

There’s a little more street. A street Chihuahua. But I gave him a little bit of a softer voice in the beginning when he’s trying to get the dog, Drew Barrymore, to fall in love with him. If you’ve seen the trailer, is either the greatest trailer you’ve ever seen if you’re ten or the most annoying trailer you have ever witnessed in your life if you’re an adult.

The new flick is set to premiere in theaters nationwide on October 3rd. We are glad this joker is keeping it gangster. ¡Que sigan las bromas! [MTV News]
