Lala Anthony Covers YRB

TV Personality and media mogul in the making, Lala Anthony, is featured as ‘New York’s Most Valuable Player’ in the latest issue of YRB Magazine. In one of her most daring shoots to date, she poses in elaborate head pieces and embellished heels paired with gowns, tutus and leotards. She also chats it up about who’s career she’d like to emulate, how she feels about being ‘a basketball wife’ as well as the importance of being a role model.

On who’s career she’d like to Emulate
[Oprah]. She started in radio; I started in radio. She produced; I produced Tyson. She has done acting. She has done branding – she’s done everything.There was a time when people only wanted you doing one thing. If you are a host, you are only a host, only an actress, only a singer… And now, in this day and age, it’s about doing a lot of things and being good at all of them. I just want to prove that one person can be good at a lot of different things.

On being labeled a ‘basketball wife’ and some media outlets labeling her as a ‘First lady of NY’
I’m married to a basketball player. I love being [Carmelo’s] wife, so I don’t look at it as a negative thing. I think it’s just like anything else and what you are doing with whatever title you have,” she says. “I’m a lot of other things, too, so that’s not the only thing that defines me.

It’s an honor. Something like that comes with work. You are not going to be labeled that by just sitting around with Louboutins on and not doing anything,” she says. “I want to get out there as I have been and make a difference in N.Y.

On her show and being a role model
I like that people think I’m so down to earth and real because that’s how I really am and I want to show that on the show, and also show that my life isn’t perfect,” she says. “I go through things like everybody else. When there is a bad moment and you want to turn the cameras off, that’s not reality. I don’t want to do that.

I don’t have to think about being a role model or doing things a certain way because all I do is really just be myself, and so far, that’s worked for me. The responsibilities might become overwhelming for another personality, but it’s all in a day’s work for La La. ”This is what comes with the territory of who I am. I would never complain about it. It’s a blessing to be in this position and do something that I love. I’m happy with my life, I’m happy with the position I’m in, and I’m happy to be in a position 
to help others and be a role model to girls out there.

Halle Berry Is Engaged

Halle Berry was not engaged to Olivier Martinez when numerous outlets reported she was back in December — but we found out … SHE IS NOW!!!

You’ll recall, after Halle sported a big ol’ ring that Olivier Martinez gave her everyone jumped to false conclusions — but it was NOT an engagement ring.

But we’ve learned Halle did become engaged to Olivier sometime after the first of the year.

The engagement is significant because Halle is asking a judge to allow her to move to France with Olivier and 3-year-old Nahla.

TMZ broke the story, Halle wants to make the move and baby daddy Gabriel Aubry vehemently objects.

In California and most states, a judge would look at the stability of the parent’s relationship and a marital relationship is far more impressive than boyfriend and girlfriend.

No word on when the two will marry, but we’re told a marriage will DEFINITELY take place.

Emily & Fabolous

If you are wondering if Love and Hip Hop’s Emily and her boo Fab are back together, she pretty much confirmed that they are together last night during the Love and Hip Hop reunion show. Since some of the girls didn’t want to be in the same room as each other this year (**coughs** Yandy and Chrissy), VH1 switched things up and had each girl do a one on one with executive producer Mona Scott Young.

During her sit down, Emily revealed that Fab admitted there was some form of sexual activity with he and Kimbella but it wasn’t sexual intercourse. She also said that they are still dating and he’s claiming her more than ever. After the show aired, she instagramed a pic of Fab sleeping on her chest with the caption ‘Don’t Sleep On Us’.

Chris Brown & Rihanna To Perform At The Grammys

Well The Grammy Awards show just got a bit more interesting…

Over the past few weeks, it has been reported that both Chris and Rihanna are set to appear at the Grammys (both are up for Awards) but now it has been confirmed that Chris Brown has been added to the list of performers as well.

This will be Chris’ first time attending the Grammy’s since the domestic violence incident between he and Rihanna that took place the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards ceremony. Although he has yet to get a Grammy of his own, he will take to the stage and hopefully celebrate a victory for his song ‘Look at Me Now’, which is up for Best Rap Song and/or Best Rap Performance and ‘F.A.M.E.’ which is up for Best Album.

Other performers of the night will include Rihanna (who will be performing with ColdPlay), Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Adele, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson and The Foo Fighters

Will you be tuning in?

NAOMI CAMPBELL POSES FOR HARPER’S BAZAAR



The fashion industry is notorious for being slow on the uptake when it comes to embracing and promoting models of color, even though recently there have been a slew of rising faces with the potential to challenge that notion — Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, and Joan Smalls to name a few.

But when it comes to instant recognition and true ‘Super’ status, there are few in the game who can even begin to touch the legend that is Naomi Campbell. With over 25 years in the industry under her belt, the sometimes controversial yet always fabulous Miss Campbell is still giving good face, working the pages of the March 2012 issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

As the article accompanying the editorial states, and her photos are a testament to, it’s clear why the industry still needs Naomi. But after such a successful career, why would Naomi still need fashion? She tells the mag:

“I still love what I do,” she says. “It’s a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon.” She lets out a laugh, adding, “because one word I don’t like is predictable.”
