La La Vazquez is covering the April 2010 issue of Latina magazine. And the fab 30 year old makes it clear that she’s been calling her own shots for a long time.
She’s also talking about her multimillionaire baller fiancé Carmelo Anthony. “I don’t think people understand how hard I’ve worked to achieve the things I have,” she tells Latina.
We’ve got some interesting quotes from La La and Melo on their controversial long term engagement. And Melo sets the record straight once and for all:
“Even with all that I’ve accomplished on my own,” says Alani “La La” Vazquez in the April 2010 issue of Latina magazine, “I know the story out there about me: ‘[Carmelo] ain’t gonna marry her. She got that ring but now he’s making her wait. He don’t really love her…’ For once…I’d like to tell the story as it is. Not as it’s told.”
“I wasn’t making her wait,” Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony tells Latina magazine of La La, his fiancée. “If anything, I was waiting for her to slow down. She was doing her own thing, handling her business and we were happy. When it was time to take it to the next step we did. Period.”
So has he ever doubted for a minute that La La Vazquez is Mrs. Right, one with life, mindset (and bank account) of her own? Melo speaks slowly, but surely: “ I wouldn’t be with her if it was any other way.” “Understood?”
Ok Melo. I see you. Set us straight then. I’m not even mad. Who doesn’t love a man that doesn’t play games when it comes to talking about his woman?

Usher is rocking the cover of the new issue of Billboard magazine. And he’s talking about why this new album Raymond VS. Raymond is differing from Here I Stand. And he’s ready to focus less on his marriage and more on his swagger:
“I went all the way into being super husband and super dad, thinking, ‘I’ve got to be serious all the time. I’ve got to be the man.’ I put my swagger down for a minute, but I didn’t throw it away, now it’s time to get it back.”
‘Papers’ let everyone know that Usher knew what everyone was saying about him, his marriage and his relationship with his mom; that he understood what was being said,” Pitts says. “It was just to make a statement. We didn’t realize it would be as big as it was.”
Usher adds, “The song wasn’t intended to glorify my personal situation or people breaking up. I didn’t know if it was going to be the single or part of the album. I just thought it was a special track that would represent me well.”
We shall see….
And speaking of Usher, his former “Nice & Slow” video girl Kimora Lee has some brand new promo images with her and the kiddies out for “Life In The Fab Lane”:

Zoe Saldana is covering the April issue of Essence magazine. And The YBF has a snippet of her cover story titled “From A to Zoe…” where she talks about her love for sex and her longtime boyfriend Keith:
S is for sex: “Love it, love it, love it—can’t live without it!” Saldana exults. “I love sex. I love skin. I don’t believe the body is something to hide. I think in American society we’re messing up our kids by taking away the education on and awareness of our sexuality and replacing it with violence, guns and video games—and we’re breeding little criminals.”
B is for boyfriend: When it comes to intimate relationships, Saldana, who currently lives with her longtime boyfriend, Keith Britton, likes to be knocked off her feet. “I’m more of a punch-drunk-love kind of girl,” she admits. “I mean punch as in that pow, that jolt, that kick in the gut. I like things that are severe, passionate and extreme.”
Sweet.

When Serena Williams, the No. 1 tennis player in the world, steps off the court, the 28-year-old exchanges her tough exterior for a fun, lighthearted nature as the baby of the Williams family. Jet caught up with the woman that has a 125-mph serve to find out about a side of her she rarely reveals. “I’m really sensitive. I always want everyone to be happy. I’m a pleaser. I never want to make people sad or let them down, sometimes it’s even to my demise. I have learned to take care of me more, and I’m definitely learning to do better at that.”
Avatar hottie Zoe Saldana is one of 4 cover girls for the April 2010 issue of GLAMOUR. She’s looking gorgeous as usual in a DSquared pink sparkly dress.
