Maria Menounos paid up, stripped down, and gave up betting in one round?
Oh yeah, baby! Extra TV host Maria Menounos paid up, stripped down, and gave up betting after losing a football bet with her entertainment news co-hosts A.J. Calloway and Mario Lopez. She actually hosted the television program while wearing only a tiny red, white, and blue bikini. The problem with that?

No one is even mentioning the performances by Cee Lo Green (from The Voice) or cool rapper Nicki Minaj. Keep reading…
