La La's Full Court Wedding - Finale Recap

La La's Full Court Wedding - Finale Recap

It is the week of the long awaited wedding between Lala Vazquez and Carmelo Anthony, and now the pressure is on to finish all the last minute details. Like all brides in the days leading up to the wedding, La has a packed schedule: brunch with both her mom and her future mother-in-law, a spa day with her maid-of-honor, meeting with the pastor, and attending the actual wedding rehearsal. As she attempts to juggle the melding of two families as well as taking care of her own, La La's journey to the alter is finally become a reality...

La La Vazquez Says Kim K. Needs a 'Suit and Tie' Man

Backstage at 'The Joy Behar Show,' I sat down with Kim Kardashian's best friend, La La Vazquez, who made it very clear that Kim needs to date a successful suit-and-tie type of guy if she wants to say "I do."

"I'm working on hooking her up on a blind date," La La tells me. "Kim doesn't go around saying, 'I want to be in love.' She's happy. She's enjoying her life, but as friends, when you see someone you like, you say, I want to hook you up with this person or that person. That's just what friends do. Why? Friends hooked me up with my husband."

La La doesn't think Kim is going to find husband material on a football field.

"For Kim, I'll look for a nice person. I do want him to be successful for her because that will be a similar thing. You don't always want to be carrying the load. That can get annoying after a while," La La explains. "What I'm looking for in her next blind date is a suit-and-tie guy. Something different."

And La La will know if she found Mr. Right for Miss Kardashian if she doesn't hear back that night from her friend. "After the date, Kim will call me immediately. She might call me during the date. If she doesn't call at all, they are hanging out and that's a good sign."

Tune in Sunday to watch Kim and La La's other celebrity friends (including Serena Williams!) attend her amazing NYC wedding to Carmelo Anthony in an hour-long special on VH1 at 10:30PM. Check Out An EXCLUSIVE Pic From the Wedding:

Fantasia For Real 2 and La La's Full Court Wedding - Premiere Recaps

Fantasia For Real  2 - Premiere Recap

So unlike Real and Chance's new show. The premiere of Fantasia For Real 2 and Lala's Full Court Wedding was pretty good. I have a feeling Fantasia For real 2 will do good in the ratings due to recent struggles. 

Here is a recap of what happened in the premiere episode. Thinsg have changed since the last season. Fantasia now has an high school diploma, Teeny has his one place now and her mom as well. Since last season her family relied on her for everything and her album "Back To Me" was released. She did photo shoots for the album and says " I want Grammys, I want magazines, I want covers... I want it all"  she also adds that she expects this album to do well. 

Fantasia's Aunt Bunny arrived. She had concerns about some rumors she heard about Fantasia being with a married man. Fantasia's tells her that "I am not a homewrecker" and to not worry about it. But her mom and aunt had other thoughts. She also tool her pole dancing. Bunny also visit Teeny in his new place and the end of the episode Fantasia went to London to do a show.

La La's Full Court Wedding- Premiere Recap

I was surprised on how good this show was. This show is very mature and classy. It makes you excited to get married lol  Lala and Carmelo have been engaged since 2004 ans have a 3 year old son name Kiyan and now they are finally getting married.

The show started off when Lala's mom arrived to help her out and the celebrity wedding planner that they hired Mindy Weiss. Carmelo seems like he the Bridzilla. He requests that he wants red velvet wedding cake and a band. LaLa does not want  a band, she thinks it is too old fashion.  Lala says that she has a great relationship with her mom and she also says her parents were divorce when she was very young, but she loves her dad too. She has has to make a tough choice to choose one parent at the wedding. She also had lunch with Tyrese and ask her why isn't she hanging out with married women" which is a kinda an odd question to ask. But she did had answer to that.

even though Lala ordered a custom made wedding dress. Her mom wante to do the whole mother and daughter wedding dress shopping, so they did. Let's just say they both have different tastes when it comes to wedding dresses. Lala likes the pink dress and her mom was just making faces like "are you serious" but it was funny to watch. 

Lala's new show has been getting a lot of positive comments from people on twitter

VH1 interviews La La Vazquez

L L Vazquez did an interview with VH1.com about her upcoming reality show produced by 51 minds La La's Full Court Wedding. she says that she wasn't sure if she wanted to do this show because people did not know who she really was.

To me this show seems like the most extravagant wedding video that you could possibly produce.

That’s how I look at it too!  It’s a whole TV series. This is incredible, how many people can say that?

Was having a film crew around while you were trying to plan your wedding oppressive at all? Did you feel like you couldn’t be the bridezilla you’re allowed to be?

Not at all, because that is not who I am at all.  I am totally chill and calm and everyone’s like, “La you’re going to have this moment,” and I just didn’t have it because that’s not my personality.  My problem is that  I am always worried about everyone else. I just want to make sure they have fun. People were like, “La, you’re getting married. It’s about you.” I’m like, “No, I don’t care about me I want everyone else to have a good time.”

I thought of this analogy when preparing for this interview: you’ve been VH1’s bridesmaid for years. Through your hosting, you’ve facilitated action and helped make it run smoothly, without actually being the center of it.

(Laughs) I totally agree with you. That is a great analogy. I’ve been on that network for years and do many shows, the crazy moments the crazy people yet I have been standing strong there through it all.

Have you been wanting your own show throughout your time on the sidelines?

Absolutely not. At first I was a little unsure[about this show]. My thing was that I knew people knew who I was they are familiar with me as a TV host, but I didn’t feel as if anyone knew who I was, as far as my personality goes. I really thought this  was a great opportunity to get people to actually take interest in who I am.  I thought that was very important.

Were there any reservations at all with opening your life the scrutiny of cameras and editing?

I knew what it was going into it. I was hosting so many reality shows and reunions and being you know close friends with Kim Kardashian and seeing their lives that I knew what to expect. If you’re going to have reservations or you’re going to want to like edit yourself, reality TV is probably not the thing you should do.  On this show, I worked with 51 Minds, a production company I’ve worked with before. I knew they knew me, I trusted them and I felt like they weren’t going to try and sabotage me in any way. I had all the pluses going in my favor.

An issue that comes up in the first episode is your disagreement with Carmelo about having a band play the wedding. He wants it, you don’t. I’m on your side: DJs are so much better.

I am so happy somebody understands that. I just thought a band was such a bad idea. The band symbolizes corny to me, older to me.  If I can’t get whoever originally sang a song to sing the song, then I don’t want a cheesy band to sing the song.  It doesn’t make any sense to me, everybody told me I was crazy. I am like everyone else is crazy — I am not crazy.

I just don’t see how cover bands magically become this classy thing when you throw down tons of money on them – they belong in bars playing for frat guys taking shots of Jager.

I feel like there are so many other ways that we could use the money, because bands are not cheap. They’re in the thousands. Yeah so I am glad you feel the same way.

You note that Carmelo is a lot pickier about the details of the wedding. Was that true just for the events of the first episode, or are we witnessing an unlikely role reversal, where the husband-to-be cares more about the particulars than the bride?

He was very specific on what he wanted. He knew he wanted a big wedding, he knew wanted red velvet cake. He wasn’t there nitpicking all these little things — he had an overall vision of where he wanted to be. On the other hand, I was like, “This is going to cost a lot of money. We can just go somewhere quick and get it done.” It’s usually the bride that wants all of that, while the whole time I was thinking about cost and I wanted to have a fun day. I didn’t want to go broke because of this over-the-top wedding. I don’t want to be still paying off bills three or four years later. You know, it  was a bit of a battle.

Were your celebrity friends a complication for the production? I know it is great to have celebrity guests on a show, but it also seems like it could complicate things in this large gathering, just in terms of those who aren’t willing to be on camera.

One thing about the celebrities [on the show] is that they are genuine friends of myself and Carmelo. It’s not like we just pick them out of the sky and go, “Hey I want to be friends with Kim Kardashian, I want to be friends with that one.” These are really genuinely my closest friends and they were like, “Whatever we can do or whatever we need to do to make this day special, we’ll do. We can be a part of the show for you – we just want to be there.” I had Ludacris giving me a guy’s perspective about women and why they are scared about commitment and marriage. I mean you would never see something like that on TV or any other show. You just don’t see that and our history — I knew him in high school, so there’s a brother and sister relationship there. You have Labron, Sabrina, Spike Lee – people of that caliber come in there and they are like, “Sure we will be on camer. Whatever you guys need.” That says a lot about our relationship with them, you know?

Were you harassed by friends and family for being engaged to Carmelo for almost six years before tying the knot?

Absolutely, it was an ongoing thing of, “You’re never going to get married,” or, “He’s never going to want to stay with you.” People believe that if you’re engaged and you don’t get married right away, there is some kind of behind-the-scenes issue going on. It makes me laugh because we have been together for seven years. Where are the people that are going to compliment that or just being able to sustain a relationship in this environment for that long? We see people rushing into and then they are divorced because they didn’t even take the time to get to know who they were marrying. This way worked for us. It’s not for everybody, but it worked for us.

Were you able to let go of your need to please and indulge in your day?

It was hard. I tried to, but it was definitely difficult once the day started and I got in the moment. I had people like Kelly [Rowland] or Kim [Kardashian] working the wedding floor while I was in the suite. I was like, “Is everyone OK? Is everyone having a good time?” They were like, “I wish you would stop. Everybody is down there having a blast. They are all waiting for you.” I was glad I had them on duty just greeting people and saying hi and walking around making sure everybody was comfortable.

In the intro to the show there is a reference to you losing weight for the wedding; you didn’t have to loose too much weight did you?

I lost 13 pounds. I wanted to loose weight I wanted to look good.

I think by all standards, you already looked good.

Thank you, but the problem about losing weight is, once you do it and you feel great that you accomplished this goal, you forget that you got to keep the weight off.  That is the hard part. Getting there is difficult, don’t get me wrong. But once you’ve reached the top, you’re like, “Well, I want the cookie now. I want the ice cream now. I want the Crunch bar now.”  That is where I am at now.

Your son Kiyan is adorable. Did you have any reservations about having him on camera, though? Some people keep their kids away from their reality shows.

Everybody is very weird about that. But I figured that this is a reality show, which is supposed to showcase my reality. I am a mother before anything else. How could I have a reality show that didn’t showcase my son who is with me everyday? I don’t have a nanny that lives with me that I could just throw him off on, and I want people to see that aspect of juggling career and planning a wedding and motherhood and him. Not showing people the most important person in my life just seems weird to me.  I don’t question people who think it’s a bad idea because they have their reasons but I had my reasons on why I wanted him to be a part of it.

After doing this show, is there anything to be said for being bit by the reality bug?  Do you want to do more shows?

I am at a crossroads right now because obviously that’s going to come up: what’s next? This show was so much fun. I really enjoyed it. Would I consider doing more? Absolutely. The other side of it is, I really enjoy acting, and I really want to sink my teeth into that.  Sometimes the world we are in makes it hard to do everything. It’s like once you step into that reality, that’s what you are. You are now a reality show star and that’s what they see you as. It’s like, we love La La but we know her as a TV host, we don’t see her as an actress, and you know, just now I’m finally being able to break down a lot of those barriers. I am not going to shoot down any opportunities that come my way because just to have them is a blessing in itself. Things are so poor for everybody these days, and to be working and doing so many great things, it is a plus. I kind of just have to think about it and decide when the opportunities present themselves, but I am not saying no to anything right now.
