MAG COVERS: LA LA COVERS ‘TODAY’S BLACK WOMAN’ / J. LO COVERS GLAMOUR + B.T.S. VIDEO

October 29th, 2011

Reality television personality La La Anthony is on the cover of Today’s Black Women Star Report magazine for their December 2011 issue. Inside the Love, Loss & What I Wore actress discloses how she achieves her goals successfully and balances her own life with that of her marriage:

On her overall approach to success:
“You have to set a goal and really work towards it. A lot of people say, ‘I want to do this, I want to do that,’ but what are you doing to get to that goal? If you want to act, are you in acting classes? It takes that kind of commitment to get better at a craft, and people see the final result; but they don’t know the work it takes to do these kinds of things.”

On her acting career:
“I just wrapped Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, which is based on Steve Harvey’s book. I’m really excited about that one. It’s really funny but has a great message. There’s an incredible cast; you have Taraji Henson, Gabrielle Union, Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart…I mean the list goes on and on. To be a part of a cast like that is awesome.”

On having a successful AND balanced marriage:
“You need to have your own thing going on, so you can live in your world as well as in the world of your relationship.”

Speaking of Love, Loss & What I Wore, La La will be playing her last theatrical show on October 30th. If you’re in the NYC area, it’s not too late to buy your ticket. As far as her reality television show, La La’s Full Court Life‘s season finale will air on Monday, October 31 at 9pm EST.

JENNIFER LOPEZ TALKS LOVE & LIFE LESSONS IN GLAMOUR

Jennifer Lopez aka Glamour magazine’s Woman of the Year is on the cover of their December 2011 issue. The Latin “On The Floor” singer shared a bit about her personal style and what she has learned from her sudden divorce from her former husband of 7 years, Marc Anthony:

On her personal style:
“The things I liked when I was, like, 16 and in the Bronx—jeans, cut-up T-shirts—I still like. But I’ve been exposed to so much now from traveling the world and seeing couture clothes. I used all of that when I created my new line for Kohl’s. My style has come from everything, from where I started to where I am today.”

On her lesson on love and relationships:
“I think I’ve finally learned the biggest lesson of all. You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with somebody else. You’ve got to value yourself and know that you’re worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can’t really have a healthy relationship.”

This issue hits stands on Tuesday, November 8! Peep the behind-the-scenes video clip at the bottom

    I use to be a real fan of LaLa V but I met her a few weeks ago. Wow, she really is full of herself. My best friend had to be her makeup artist on the VH1 set and she was so snobbish. Barely spoke and just had a stank attitude. Whats crazy is my bf has done Rih Rih’s makeup on 3 occassions and she was so cool and down-to-earth. Its always a C-lister that has the snobbish attitude and the A-lister has the most down-to-earth attitude. Get OVER yourself LaLa, and get some new booty implants cuz the ones you got are NOT the bizz

      If you’re the makeup artist, why not just do her makeup? It’s a job, why should she have to talk and laugh with you? You seem very unprofessional to be a celebrity makeup artist.

      derrick I think she said her friend was the makeup artist and a makeup artist much like a hair stylist is someone u should be able to chop it up with and talk to when ur in the chair getting your hair and/or makeup done, thats what women do.

      I believe you @Simmie. LaLa does come across like that now that she is posted with Melo’s money, but you didn’t even have it like that just being a Video-jockey & she had a lot of work done, her booty, her nose, her hips and her breast, just an all around fake. BTW, what is she doing on “Today’s Black Woman” if she always claims she is NOT black, she is 100% Puerto Rican, which is a bunch of bs. LaLa is a damn D-lister, if it wasn’t for Melo, her name would be HaHa.

      The make up artist is probably a black female hater. Black women always have much negative to say about pretty black women and half way speak themselves and try to act like folk half way speaking to them. This is a typical bitter black woman BS offense. Same HS crap…she thank she all that…she thank she cute black female you need to talk to me first…you need to prove to me you cool so called black female mess.

      @Caramelapple, honey please. My bf isnt even Black. She is Italian/Belize mix. She is very attractive. I, on the other hand am a black woman. Never once had a problem with my esteem or my looks. I can confidently say I’m a hottie. I think your comment is ridiculous and you must have a problem with facts and BLACK woman. Get a life and stop thinking everyone is hating.

      Practice what you preach get over yourself. You dont know nothing for yourself. It could be how your friend came off. There are 2 sides to every story. I dont care what color you or your friend is, still typical black woman BS. Nope, cant stand half of the hating black witches like yourself, always talking about who thank they this and that. Old psychic, miserable, assuming, black witches.

      @Simmie, a shame…your Italian/Belize mix friend probably was a classy chick until she became friends with a typical hating black, negative loving black witch as yourself and now she just as bad. That is what happens when folk associate with half of the evil, mean black women, they become a hateful, drama, black woman clone. She will never be the same again.

      Cosign!!!!!! He is never around and when she does call him or skype him, he has the “what do you want you r buggin me” attitude. My husband and I are apart for 10 hours everyday at work and we cant wait to be with each other at home, let alone weeks at a time. It just seems like a boring marriage. You never know though maybe he’s just non affectionate on camera. Shrugs….

      Well, until this pass year, she denied being black at all. She said she is Puerto Rican which is dumb b/c that aint even a race! Lala looks like a mixed blk girl. Her parents look mixed with blk and spanish too! Basically, she is mulatto!! lol

      Exactly…just a few months ago, she kept saying I’m NOT black, I’m NOT black, now your ass is on a Black magazine. Really? Just trying to keep your 15 mins. of fame going when you don’t even want to claim the race. I’m half puerto rican and half black & I don’t exclude part of my heritage, LaLa is half & half too and she needs to keep it real.

      EXACTLY!! I don’t appreciate her even covering the BLACK Woman mag! She was SO adamant on people NOT associating her with the black race smh but you’re married to a BLACK man, your child is BLACK and majority of your friends are BLACK. Bish get a life…

      @TheTruth.. You took the words out of my mouth. Lala kept screaming she is not black she is puerto rican, etc etc.. But now that she is on the cover of a black magazine, its okay for ppl to refer to her as black. Dont say one thing and do another because it enables you (lala) to gain added press. smh

    I honestly think that “Lala” is where she is BECAUSE of Carmelo Anthony. If not for being involved with and marrying him, her career would have gone the same route as the other MTV Dee Jays and Vee jays.

    tell me what qualifies lala to give advice on being a successful business savvy woman when essentially she laid on her back, had a kid and got her son’s rich daddy to marry her??? I don’t understand how she is now a beacon of advice for hard working women.

    • caramelapple

      Wasnt she a MTV co-host and had other hosting gigs before Carmelo. Seems she met a man that happened to be a baller and she had a child and got married. Typical black women haters to put a hater, negative spin on a natural dating, baby, marriage scenario. Carmelo could have dated anyone he wanted to and did not have to keep seeing her, or he didnt have to propose to her and actually walk down the aisle if he did not want to first. Didnt remember seeing any gun to his head in the wedding pics. Where your man at?

      All yall ghetto, jealous black witches didnt say a thing about that Ghetto Nene and Tami Roman representing your image. They keep it real huh…real ghetto and animalistic, yall witches can identify with that image. Ought to be glad someone that dont have to be counted among the angru black woman stereotype made a choice to represent when she could have just taken the better reputation of Latino only. But, she chose to be counted among black women to hopefully help present a better image than a ghetto black clown.

      Dont worry about me. Lala is just a symbol of what goes on all the time with yall black hating witches. What’s going on with her is what happens to non ghetto black women everyday. Most black men cant stand half of us and many other black women cant stand you jealous black negative behinds either. Why dont yall ghetto jealous black witches go on an island for about 20 yrs probably wont be nothing left on the island but scratched out weave after yall turn on each other too. The rest of the world wont even miss none of you. Old wicked weave heads.

    I wish that lala would stop acting like carmelo loves her, the look on his face when they’re together spells out that whole situation. Shes a single wife, and that’s fine if that’s what you want. But dont try to pretend on tv that your his world and that he loves being with you and you are the model wifey and shit.

    “You have to set a goal and really work towards it. A lot of people say, ‘I want to do this, I want to do that,’ but what are you doing to get to that goal? If you want to act, are you in acting classes?”

    Are there classes to improve your head game if you want to snag a baller? Na Na is a joke.

    “Today’s Black Woman” eh? Sounds about right: shift all the black women in a little corner and make the non-black woman the focal point of the cover. We’re being marginalized in our community. =/

      Gabrielle Union stole another black woman’s husband and Kerry Washington don’t even give a black man a second glance. She dates only white men. Who is the real black woman on the cover here? La La! And afro-Puerto Rican was the right choice to be the focal point of this cover. She’s a Latina of African decent. She’s educated, she had b her own career before Carmelo, isn’t out stealing other black women’s husbands, is married to a black man herself and has a black son. Deal with it haters!

    CL really? What Hollyweird run out of black actress to cover. Last I checked Lala and Jlo are hispanic. Besides Jlo a serial bride and Lala a serial brain dump are idiots so who cares. I mean your coverage of these women who have no affect on the black commmunity and black women amazes me, I mean Lala was the same one that gushed “kim K wedding was so beautiful” and on day 72 a divorce? give me a break!

    All the hate toward Lala and love toward Jennifer Lopez. Yep..black women love white and non-black women as much as black men. Hateful toward your own and smile and compliment non-black women and that’s why they walk in and take your man. Because when a wealthy black man try to love a black woman, so much hate is toward him from other black women that its easier and happier with white and non-black women and that is where he goes to avoid the drama imposed by all the black hate. Because he is relieved of the hateful atmosphere attached to his black woman. I have seen this happen on the job where black docs will try to get with a black female on the job and the other black women will hate on her so bad, trash talking about her in his presence, etc. He will shy away and go get a becky and those same black women wont say a word, they will even compliment the non-black, trying to save face to appear like they not mad that he is with a non-black. By doing this, non black women are allowed to stay soft and feminine and they will be more attractive to men period because of that. All the while the black woman has to take the time to confront, in your face hateful black women and therefore she becomes ugly too because of the hate and put downs and become then less attractive. Then the man receives the judgment against her to himself and he won’t see her as worthy anymore and he leaves to what black women will uphold in their mouth and attitude and that is non-black. Then the irony is those same black women will say there he goes with a white women again if they had nothing to do with the whole phenomenon. No wonder white people think we are dumb and from apes, I am starting to believe it too. The black mindset is screwed, got to get away or else will become a cloned idiot too.

      That’s why those black men with white and non-blakc women are at more peace. They seperated themselves from the self deprecating mess and can go anywhere with his lady and get compliments and smiles etc, nothing like when he was with black women. He avoids the drama by exchanging the woman and the ghetto culturalization and learned inbreed behavior that goes in the black neighborhoods and lifestyle.

You know haters are really secret fans who can’t express their feelings in a positive way. Anyways you are doing a great job as a #troll# so don’t quit your day job (Oops this is your day job seeing you have time for nothing else)
