LALA COVERS ‘FEARLESS’ MAGAZINE
Cover girl LaLa Vazquez is looking GORGEOUS on the new FEARLESS magazine cover for the Winter 2010 Holiday/New You issue. She’s talking about being the newly married wife of NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony, and being the star of her own VH1 reality show “La La’s Full Court Wedding.”
A few interview highlights:
What does being “Fearless” mean to you?
I’ve learned in this business someone’s not going to like it. Someone’s always going to have something to say. So I think that being fearless is not trying to please everybody but just pleasing yourself because at the day end of the day if you’re happy that’s all that really matters.
You’re a new bride tell us about that experience. Do you feel any different than before?
You know I think overall I feel the same in the relationship. It’s the same even though inside of me there is that place that knows, “OK, you’re married now.
We are all here for a reason. Why do you think you are here?
That’s a deep one. I think I am definitely here to be a mother to my son and to be a good example to him of how men should treat women.
Arian Simone, the owner of FEARLESS mag, says:
Vazquez is the epitome of a Fun, Fly, Fabulous and Fearless woman. Although she may live a glamorous Hollywood life, complete with celebrity friends, Vazquez at the core, is a wife, mother and hardworking business woman. “I am honored to be part of such an amazing magazine,” states Vazquez. In addition to the cover, Vazquez gives readers and inside look into her life as an actress/producer, her new marriage and mommyhood.
Here’s the behind the scenes vid from La’s shoot:
JAY-Z MAKES NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST WITH NEW BOOK, ‘DECODED’
Jay-Z’s new book Decoded is now on the the New York Times bestseller’s list. Jay-Z is known for topping Billboard charts but now the rapper’s literary work is on the New York Times bestseller’s list. His first book Decoded currently holds the third spot on the list. The top two spots are held by former president George Bush and his autobiography and Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken.
Decoded gives fans insight into Jay-z’s lyrics and his life. The book was included on Oprah’s ‘Favorite Things’ show last week and is in the top ten sellers on Amazon.com. The New York Times says, “Decoded gives the reader a harrowing portrait of the rough worlds Jay-Z navigated in his youth, while at the same time deconstructing his lyrics.”
Congrats to Hov.

NICKI MINAJ: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER DEBUT
A few posts ago I said that I was 100% team Nicki, and yea I appreciate the freshness that she brings to the game; however she did not bring it with ‘Pink Friday.’ I wanted to hear Nicki spit crazy, deranged rhymes like she spits on ‘Roman’s Revenge,’ or even all the dope features that she has appeared on. ‘Pink Friday’ comes across as a sappy, pop infused record, with a bunch of singing from a Rapper.
I am not impressed and rather disappointed. As an artist I try to listen to all types of music and if I’m feeling something I will support it. I am a true music consumer, and have been collecting music for over 15 years. When Lil Kim came out with ‘Hardcore’ that shit was banging!! Every track rocked from beginning to end. She made a statement and stuck to it. With ‘Pink Friday,’ I don’t know who Nicki is?? It feels like she’s trying to be an R&B princess. However, I have given the CD a few listens and she does have some nice tracks that I like. Like ‘Blazin’ with Kanye West and the opener of the CD ‘I’m the Best.’ Even with the disappointment I still wish her well and much success. I hope to see her develop into a stronger and solid artist.
