Reality star, TV host, actress, basketball wife and mother: LaLa Vazquez couldn't have more any more on her plate, until now. Our favorite fomer MTV VJ has joined the cast of "Love, Lost and What I Wore" and will be taking her talents to the great white way this Fall.

The play, which opened at the Westside Theater back in 2009, is based on a book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman. The stage version, written by Nora and Delia Ephron, takes on the book's concept of telling women's stories of love and loss by building those stories around their closets, clothes and accessories.

"Love, Loss and What I Wore" is performed by a rotating cast of five all-star actors, who perform in five-week cycles. Members of the rotating cast have included Fran Drescher, Stacy London, Jane Lynch, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sherri Shepherd, Brooke Shields, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler. LaLa's run will last from October 5th-30th.

Before her Broadway run, you can catch LaLa and her husband Carmelo Anthony chronicling their lives as newlyweds in LaLa's Full Court Life which premieres on VH1 August 22nd.

Will you see LaLa on Broadway? Let us know below, or @MTV3.

It’s been about a month since Lala Vazquez married Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony and you can tell from these recently snapped pix that she’s still got that newlywed glow. And why not? She’s got a superstar hubby, a beautiful 3-year-old son, and a beach bod that’s out of this world!

It’s not often that we get to see Lala in a tight bikini, so we are relishing these pix (even her honeymoon photos from Costa Rica show her mostly covered up). Shot in Malibu, CA these snaps show sexy Lala at her most playful.

Posing with beach balls, frolicking in the sun, we love Lala because she never seems forced. As we all know from her bubbly MTV VJ skills, what you see is what you get…ink and all! And did you happen to see how sexy those back tats were?!

And modest as ever, Mrs. Anthony even poked fun at her wind-blown hair when responding to fan Tweets.

“awwww thanks crystal..I need my hairdone!! LOL”

Team Blogamole thinks you look great Lala and are hoping we can see some actual footage from that bikini shoot incorporated into your upcoming VH1 reality show…Ooh La La!

We may know Lala for being open about matters of the heart, but the "Sprung On a Thug" singer also shows love for her hometown of California. Her "pretty brown LA sound" not only reps her fixation on thugs, but this chica also values her homegurlz and barrio to the fullest.

Check out her exclusive MTV News interview and tell us if you are feelin' Lala's west coast vibe. We wouldn't mind lowridin' in her new whip that's for sure!

MTV News recently caught up with model and actress Natalie Martinez on the set of Lala’s latest music video. Natalie, who will be co-hosting an upcoming style special titled MTV Tr3s Fashionista, couldn’t stop talking about the new movie she’s working on.

It’s called Death Race with Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson and we have Joan Allen and Ian McShane. It’s really exciting. It’s this whole action film that’s around prison and race for our freedom.

But don’t take any little brothers, sisters or primitos to this one:

There’s a lot of violence. It’s very Mad Max, it’s very raw. So it’s a lot of fun.

Well, it’s a good thing Natalie enjoyed herself on a set like that; usually action flicks can be pretty tough training-wise. About her labor-intensive gig, Natalie says:

It was definitely physical... I love getting rough and doing stunts. So that was a lot of fun for me. Arriba las Latinas Fuertes!!!

And we aren’t kidding; Natalie plays a pretty strong character in the film:

In the movie I play Case. She is in jail for killing her husband and she happened to be a police officer.

Wow, a husband-killing cop in jail? Cuidado!!

I’m hooked up with Jason Statham to be his driver and we race in prison. Yeah, I play his navigator. I’m definitely his sidekick.

Sounds to me like there may be a little bit of romance going on there! You can catch all the action in Death Race which hits theatres August 22nd. [MTV News]

This weekend MTV Tr3s got a sneak peek at LaLa’s latest video for her new single “Sprung on Thug.” The song speaks from la experiencia. Lala talks about ‘el culpable’ behind her lyrics:

I think a lot of girls can really relate to that. You know, liking the bad boy, the one you are really not supposed to. It’s kind of cliché but we have all been through it, right?

I wrote it about one specific boyfriend that I had in high school. But if could really apply to a lot of boyfriends I had. I’m not saying I’m in that phase anymore. I’ve grown out of it….sort of….

The song may be about a boy in high school but as far as the video was concerned, LaLa brought on a new Latino talent to play her bad boy. The Latina songstress co-starred with local LA rapper and Latino veteran Don’t Know. Don’t Know was casted by none other than LaLa’s MySpace fans. She had everyone submit pictures of their hermanos, primos, novios etc for consideration. After picking the top five her fans made the final decision on who would play LaLa’s Thug.

Don’t Know isn’t the only guy you can see in the song. Rapper “The Game” is featured too and LaLa couldn’t be more excited.

I’ve always been a fan. We are kind of in the same age group, so he is kind of like my generation. So it’s fun for me to have him kind of give the little nod, the little stamp of approval like: Ok, you're official, I’m gonna hop on your record.

Seems like Lala can’t get enough of the guys. Pero no te preocupes... she still faithfully reps her Homegurlz. The video also features model/actress Natalie Martinez, who is not only one of LaLa's amigas, but also the  upcoming co-host for the upcoming special MTV Tr3s Fashionista, airing August 16th at 2PM EST.
