LaLa Vasquez and her mother were spotted in New York with noted wedding planner Mindy Weiss, according to the blog, Fly Style Life.

The radio and TV personality herself confirmed on The Wendy Williams Show yesterday that she plans to marry her longtime boyfriend and the father of her son, Carmelo Anthony.

LaLa revealed the wedding will take place sometime this summer in New York City.

The two are also reportedly working on their own reality series with VH1.

You can check out the video of LaLa making the announcement below:

Congrats to the happy couple.

After being engaged to Carmelo Anthony for so long, LaLa Vasquez was given a bit of scrutiny over allegedly “setting bad examples” for promoting “shacking up.”

In an interview with A Word For My Sistas, the seemingly soon-to-be but not quite yet Mrs. Carmelo Anthony answered some of her critics.

Onetta: I hear wedding bells in the near future. Are you guys planning a summer wedding?

Lala: We are planning. I honestly don’t have many details yet. I always get asked the question about marriage and being engaged for so long. My answer to that is it has worked this way for us. I’m not saying this is the way for everyone, but we have moved at our own speed and it has worked. People tend to believe since we’ve been engaged for so long that something is up, we are not happy, or my all time favorite one, “he’s never gonna marry her!” Does being married automatically mean two people are happy? Mel and I took the time out to get to know each other, inside and out. We took time to learn about our likes and our dislikes. After having our son, we both feel ready to take that step. It’s very important to us and it’s the example we want to set for our son. Although everyone may not agree, I’m glad we did it this way.

So I can’t pretend to know these two and their relationship, but I can say her wording makes her an easy target. They’re engaged, they have a child together yet they’ve been waiting to get to know each other’s likes and dislikes?

This is after he knocked you up and proposed? LaLa seems sweet, but she needs to go back, reread and rephrase. I don’t think she meant it how it was worded.

But on a warm and fuzzy note:

Onetta: Let’s get a little personal. LOL! You and Mr. Carmelo have been holding it down for a while now? What do you love most about Carmelo?

Lala: I love Melo because he has taught me the importance of not taking certain things so seriously. He always has such a calm spirit, even in the face of heavy turmoil. I admire that about him. I’ve learned so much from just watching him in certain situations. But most importantly, he is a great dad to our son Kiyan. I thank God every night for blessing my son with such a great father. Their relationship is awesome!

Onetta: If I could ask Carmelo what he loves most about you, what do you think he would say?

Lala: I think you would have to ask him that! LOL!

She seems happy, so good for her.

Yesterday, my girls and I were talking about how much we miss Kelis’ music (we still go hard to Wonderland to this day), well apparently she needs to drop another album with that baby because mama is crying broke!

TMZ reported the singer’s recession confession: “I have run out of money,” she said.

Besides wanting a divorce, Kelis also wants Nas to pay up! She’s asking a judge to grant her spousal support, child support, all pregnancy-related expenses, one-half of all medical expenses after the child is born, $3,500 for the baby nurse after the child’s birth, and $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.

Somewhere a group of brothers are screaming, “We want prenup!”

What’s funny is that Kelis claims: “My survival is based on [Nas'] will at this time. If he does not want to pay for an expense, it does not get paid.”

(Ahem, Kelis, letting your bills go to hell if someone else doesn’t pay them is not Bossy!)

But then she turns around and says that while living the high life with her estranged hubby: “There were many expensive pieces [of jewelry] such as a princess-cut diamond tennis bracelet that was recently appraised for $190,000. My engagement ring is an approximately nine-carat cushion-cut diamond solitaire. I have numerous watches…such as Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller and Chopard.”

Girl you better take that mess to the pawn shop! Or get tips from Lala Vazquez how to hustle up money from stuff around the house. I keep seeing her Twitter updates asking folks to spread the word that she’s selling her pink Range Rover on Ebay.

Either way, get it together! Cause, right or wrong, Nas already said he’s not coming off of his dead Presidents.

Do you think Kelis should get all of the financial aid she’s requesting from Nas?

There’s a rumor going around about an NBA wife (or baby mama who isn’t going anywhere) that’s turning straight chicks out.

Via the Panache Report:

“She may be or may not be African American. She hit the lotto when she snagged a baller and later gave birth to a child. She’s set for the next 18 years. Perfect smoke screen. What few people know, she’s on the down low and likes the ladies. She gets off on turning straight women out and she’s very aggressive when she sees a woman she likes. She had a down low fling with a notorious video girl who’s rumored to be ‘not too clean.’ They were hitting the sheets on the regular, they eventually broke up but remain close friends. Allegedly, her desires are really with women and men are considered a business who she uses for money and financial security?”

People are trying to pin this on ex-VJ LaLa Vasquez.  The rumor mill seems to be working overtime with her.

I suppose the “may or may not be African American” may apply because LaLa claims to be Puerto Rican (although quite a few of them are just bilingual Black folks who can swim).

Still, this seems really far fetched so unless someone has some sort of proof LaLa channels her inner Cleo, I’m gonna continue thinking LaLa only plays for Team Melo.

Folks were giving LaLa Vasquez all sorts of grief over being ejected from Monday’s game between the Denver Nuggets and the Dallas Mavericks.

It seems many were quick to believe that an overzealous LaLa got out of pocket with Dallas fans over her baby daddy Carmelo Anthony and was told to take her happy self out of the building.

LaLa however has responded to all the chat across the web via a statement from her publicist:

La La Vazquez became distressed during a heated playoff game, after being verbally attacked by some opposing fans, who were using racial slurs, calling her child crude names and throwing ice cubes. She sent her son home early and was preparing to leave herself when she was physically pushed. Although shaken, she left the premises on her own will and is happy to be at home with her fiancée and child.

“Obviously the play-offs games bring out the best and the worst in fans but what happened on Monday night with the racial slurs/threats, verbal attacks on my son and physical attacks to myself by irate fans was unacceptable,” states La La. “The fans were totally out of control. What the cameras captured was me defending myself and didn’t show the abuse that was taking place.”

In other words, LaLa wasn’t the jackass, some of the Mavericks fans were. I can’t say that I’m surprised. You won’t just find the Stanky Legg down in the D. Just look at Mark Cuban.
