Check out excerpts below:

Lala’s mom Carmen on how she treats everyone 
One thing about her is she treats everybody the same. There’s no ‘Oh, I’ve got to suck up tp that guy.’ And I think people respect that because everybody helps her out, from the janitor to the CEO. She just came home over the holidays and she wanted to eat Spanish food and talk, and if she left the house even once, I don’t remember.

Lala On MTV choosing her to be a part of the network
I was very high energy. They wanted to know who this girl was. To be an African-American Hispanic woman on MTV –you weren’t seeing that a lot.

On the evolution of her sense of style
Now I definitely like to wear clothes that make me feel good. I love wearing something that makes people stop and say, “Where did you get that? On TV, you want people watching to say ‘Hey she looks great, even when she is dressed down. She just has a way of caring herself.

On what she eats to stay fit
Eating plenty of fruits and vegetable, but if I fall off the wagon, I’ll go on a juice cleanse for a day or two.

On her busy schedule 
This is the life I’ve always wanted, and basically it comes with the territory. I love my life and my family, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Carmelo on his wife’s sense of fashion
She has a very classical style. She knows how to make it work.

Carmelo on seeing Lala for the first time on TV
As a teenager, I wanted to meet her someday, and it came true.

Carmelo on Lala’s success being a benefit to their marriage
We’ve been together for eight years, and we’ve kind of made it work. I have my things, and she has hers. I mean, it would be bad if only one of us had things going on.

Read the full story in the April 2012 issue of Vogue!
