Born on June 25, 1980 in Brooklyn, New York, Alani 'La La' Vasquez may have been raised in New York, but she was raised on music. After La La finished high school, her family moved to Georgia, where she got a job as a programming assistant at a local radio station. She eventually moved to Washington, D.C. to study communications in college; after her studies, La La rejoined her family in Georgia, where she got her first big break in radio, hosting a show alongside Ludacris called Future Flavas.In 1999, La La moved -- appropriately enough -- to L.A. After taking a job at KKBT-FM radio, she was noticed by MTV and invited to audition. Before long, La La was hosting on MTV and MTV2, and even got small parts in the movies Two Can Play That Game (2001) and Urban Massacre (2002). She also made a guest appearance on the TV show One on One in 2004.Currently, La La is the regular host of MTV's Total Request Live and Direct Effect. La La most recently made headlines when she announced her engagement to NBA star Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets. Anthony proposed to her on Christmas Day, 2004, but the couple has yet to set a date for the wedding.
