Television personality LaLa Anthony is gracing the cover of the premiere issue of Pynk Magazine. In the international publication, she talks about being offered the opportunity to join the cast of Vh1′s Basketball Wives. Peep a little snippet below as well as spread pictures from multicultural magazine:
On the VH1 reality show, Basketball Wives:
“I was offered a spot on the show.I turned it down. I have absolutely nothing against basketball wives, the show Basketball Wives, or anything like that. But I pride myself in being more than just a basketball wife. I understand that’s something that I am, but that’s not a title that I want to define me. I’d rather be known as a mom, a businesswoman, a producer, an actress, a TV host. I just felt like that didn’t fit who I was and where my career was trying to go.”
On being referred to as The First Lady Of New York:
“I kind of laugh when people say it. It’s an honor to be called [The First Lady Of New York.] For people to even put us in the same category as Jay-Z and Beyonce — that’s just an honor in itself, but I don’t deal well with titles. To me, actions speak more than anything. It’s about being in New York now and being active, as New Yorker’s get active in the community. And getting out there and showing people what we are about outside of our businesses, with philanthropy and different things like that. That’s how you prove who you really are. You can be given a label and a title but what does that mean when there is nothing behind it? So for us, it’s about really embracing the city of New York. We kind of rushed and got here quickly, but now that we are settling in we’re starting to get out there and do some charity work and let people really see what we’re about as individuals, and as a couple.”
Cute pics of La La. I’m glad she turned down that role on BBW too much drama..
What the hell does she mean put her an melo in the same category as jay an bey…What exactly set them apart I cant handle the worship for those two as a couple jay an b was together years before they married JUST LIKE YOU they signed the same document (depending on marriage state) for marriage JUST LIKE YOU! So what exactly set u two couples apart besides celebrity status and even then why does that even matter pertaining to a relationship SMH I dont get it…
I think you may have misunderstood Poppa …
I soooooooo agree with u Philly Gurl!
who CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, she is lame and will always be. Her eyes make me dizzy & nauseous.
lmao!!!!! SO RIGHT!!!!
Who again is calling her the first lady of NY? I live in NYC and haven’t heard that anywhere.
Same here! I have never heard anyone here refer to that woman as a “first lady”. Gassed!!!!
SAME HERE!
Me three… ainnobody here in NY calling her first lady of anything. Please.
the pics are not flattering to me….glad she turned down the role as well.
I do not like the pics. Don’t think they are cute…glad she turned down the BBW spot…
She sounds grounded. I like that.
Me no likey–the pics aren’t very flattering at all. The brows are too light in the first picture and the nose looks hideous in the 2nd shot.
She always looks sleepy to me-but I loved her reality show.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t like these pictures. She just isn’t cute to me. I think it’s her Diana Ross eyes…smh…AND, the plastic surgery isn’t helping too much, either
the last pic was okay but the others she looked like dead. I like Lala though shes pretty n dont seem stuck up
Ummmm Who eva called her The First Lady of New York? What does Be & Jay have anything to do with this? lmao Shes totally reaching!
More like the first lady of the 7 train. Those ghetto eyelashes look horrible! I do not like these pics at all…
BOY Did they ever photoshop this woman! Lighten her complexion, narrowed her nose and lips and gave her a longer weave. Terrible picture and extremely unnatural.
oh look lala wants to be somebody too now
lmao
Lala needs to get over herself. Her, Kim and those twins make me sick. All you broads are whack.
That looks nothing like her
Who da f*** is Lala?! “First Lady of NY” lol please! Ain’t nobody checking for you.
Who da f*** is Lala?! “First Lady of NY” lol please! Ain’t nobody checking for you.
I really like Lala’s vibe, she’s so cute to me. So glad she’s not a BBW castmember. I don’t see where see would have fit. Can’t wait for their show to air later this summer!
She reminds me of Miss Piggy with the lashes and sleepy look in the eyes.
