LaLa Vasquez took over Vibe.com today and made it her own. She went into grave details about her bridemaids, Melo’s diva demands for the wedding, her BFF’s Ciara and Kelly Rowland then and also shares her thoughts on them catty a$$ chicks on VH1′s Basketball Wives.

Who’s your best friend in the industry?Kelly Rowland and Ciara. I’ve known both of them the longest. I’m also very close with Trina, I’m close with Solange. There’s quite a bit.

Will any of them be your Maid of Honor?They’ll all be at my wedding. My Maid of Honor is my cousin, Dice, who grew up with me in the same house. We’ve been through everything.

What about bridesmaids?We’re not having any bridesmaids. We’re having a kind of non-traditional wedding. We’re just keep it simple with one maid of honor and one best man. Nothing we’ve done thus far has been traditional.

Will you be having an intimate wedding or huge?It’s going to be [a] huge [wedding] in New York. July, some time. it wasn’t my decision, it was Melo’s.

Are there certain requests both of you must have for the wedding?He’s that guy, I’m not that person, I’m pretty simple. he wants red involved in some way and he wants red velvet cake. That’s his I-have-to-have. No one can tell me differently.

Come August, will we be calling you La La Anthony?I haven’t decided yet. I’ve been talking to my circle about it, but I don’t know yet. Vazquez-Anthony is so long. I really need to think about that and figure it out. I think I’m going to use both because people know me as La La Vazquez. I don’t want to ditch it completely. I’ll probably keep both.

What are your thoughts on the show Basketball Wives?I think it’s great entertainment and it’s great for Shaunie O’Neal. She had asked me to participate, but it’s just not something for the direction I’m going. But I think it’s a great show, people are glued to the TV.

Would you ever produce a show like that?Probably not. that show is not who I am. I’m not trying to base my life as a basketball wife. I’m trying to base my life on things outside my relationship as far as my acting, my producing, branding myself. it wouldn’t fit into what I’m trying to do. But what it did for them is amazing.

What advice do you have to celebrity couples to make their relationship work? Maintain your own and be the person that the other person fell in love with. I thin we have a tendency to settle in our relationships and lose our drive. But you have to stay the person you were that attracted you to that person. have a life outside that relationship

Legendary rapper Guru has lost his battle with cancer, according to the DJ Premier blog.

The blog, approved by Premier who produced Gang Starr’s classic albums with Guru, has posted the following statement. it can’t be ignored that the comments in relation to DJ Premier on said statement are either really sad, or really fishy, depending on what view you want to take, but we’re going to let those parties knowledgeable of the situation sort that out and simply take a moment to appreciate one of hip-hop’s all time greatest:

“Guru has passed away yesterday morning (April 19) after a long battle with cancer.

According to Solar, Guru suffered from the malicious illness for over a year and after numerous special treatments under the supervision of medical specialists failed, the legendary MC succumbed to the disease. Guru always tried to keep this harrowing diagnosis in private but in early 2010 he had to admit himself to hospital due to serious effects caused by the disease.

Since the onset of illness, Guru tried to live a “normal” life as an influential and outstanding musician, loving father, family man, and best friend. Doctors encouraged Guru to think positive that the cancer can be arrested and that a full recovery is possible but several special treatments including hard hitting chemotherapies failed.

While in hospital with terminal cancer, Guru wrote a letter, which was provided by Solar, to his fans addressing his illness, his shining music career, his family and loved ones.

“I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options. I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting,” read the official Guru statement.

“My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. he has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody’s feelings on the matter. it is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.”

The statement reads on, “I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. as the sole founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. the work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. to me this is what true artists do! as men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and ignorance. as we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. the work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life.”

Guru’s longtime partner, Solar, issues an official statement about the lost of the legendary MC which you can read below:

“The world has lost one of the best MCs and Hip-Hop icons of all time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru! Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it but tragically this did not happen. the cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius. for the fans that reached out with love and support, I can’t tell you how much that meant to Guru and myself. Guru prepared this letter [read above] while he was in the hospital for the fans. I hope now that Guru has moved on to a better place! Guru is a great Black American Hero and should always be remembered as such and he is much more that just a Hip-Hop icon — he has changed the world for the better. I salute my fallen brother Guru! he will be missed tremendously!” Solar stated.”
