Lala Vasquez is no stranger to reality TV having been a VJ on MTV and host the Flavor of Love reunion show on VH1. She will now star in a short series which will chronicle her journey to the alter after having a long engagement with basketballer Carmelo Anthony.

The still-untitled five-part, half-hour series will premiere on Monday, September 13 before wrapping up with a 90-minute wedding finale airing in October:

“The series begins with the betrothed couple, La La and Carmelo, meeting with A-list wedding planner to the stars Mindy Weiss and follows them through all the wedding planning festivities,” VH1 said in a statement Monday. “Viewers will ride along as La La shops for the perfect designer wedding dress, chooses the wedding venue, picks out the ultimate wedding cake and menu, plans their honeymoon, and contemplates the guest list, all while maintaining her and Carmelo’s hectic schedules.”

“Along the way viewers will also get a glimpse at La La’s celeb-hosted bachelorette party in Las Vegas, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the couple as they gather with their family and friends to prepare for the big day. The series will culminate in a 90-minute lavish celebrity-filled wedding finale in New York that only this superstar couple could host.”

Melanie Brown AKA Mel B is no stranger to the camera lens either. She was host of a reality show on TLC before. Although not yet named, the show will air on TLC..she promises it will be quite interesting.

I'm not exactly going to be Miss Goody Two Shoes and play it completely by the book. I'm going to be me. I love the work I do.
"I couldn't do a nine-to-five. I respect people who do it, but that could never be me. I like to work odd hours.
"I like to wake up at 11pm and if I've got a song in my head, go to the studio and record it, then go back to bed, then wake up the kids and take them to school. That's the kind of life I like to live. A very creative life."

Curious about how Mel B got those rock hard abs?

She said to Grazia Magazine: “I’m honestly not body-obsessed – I can’t be with three kids and a husband.

“My husband likes my muscles, but then he’s seen me every which way over the
past eight years– including when I put on 42lbs after my last pregnancy and
he always loves my body.

“In fact, on top of all my exercise, I have sex with him five times a day
maybe that has something to do with it. I have to admit, I’m a nymphomaniac
with him. It’s sexercise!”

Mel – who is currently starring in Las Vegas burlesque show ‘Peepshow’ –
also dismissed claims she has had surgery to give her such a well-defined
figure.

So O.K.... Mel B has her workout video and she is making a helluva earning in showing off her body in her Vegas striptease show, but I think she is taking the workout thing a bit too far! She is 1 spray tan and a couple more crunches away from looking like a professional body builder. Here she is showing off her ripped abs at the US Weekly Hot Bodies Pool Party.
