La La and Carmelo Anthony just wrapped up their first holiday season in New York, where the former Denver Nugget now plays with the New York Knicks. We’ll see how the couple’s new life is progressing during the second season of VH1’s La La’s Full Court Life, which starts filming this week and premieres in March.

The couple, parents to 4-year-old son Kiyan, are even more in the spotlight. La La, a former MTV personality who has been in such movies as Soul Plane and You Got Served, is booting up her acting career again. We talked to the 32-year-old native New Yorker, who grew up in Atlanta.

How were your holidays?

It was great taking Kiyan to see the tree in Rockefeller Center, riding up Fifth Avenue and seeing Santa at Macy’s. It was just a fun New York experience. It’s cold, but I like being in place where you get to experience all the seasons.

Can you talk a little about season 2?

I’m so grateful for the fact that people are still interested. Now that the dust has settled we’re still balancing life between New York and L.A. You’ll see me having a career and being a mom and a wife. It’s going good. I’ve learned to really be OK with not accomplishing everything in one day and to give myself a pass. I used to be so hard on myself if I didn’t get it all done. I kind of prioritize now and figure out what can wait and kind of work within those guidelines. I was putting way too much pressure on myself; we tend to put more pressure on ourselves than anyone else.

What sets your show apart from other reality shows?

I think my life is kind of relatable to people trying to make every day work and not to be so crazy and stressed out. We don’t throw drinks in people’s faces or act ridiculous. That’s not the kind of stuff we do.

What’s a typical day like for you?

If I’m not filming, my husband laughs because I’m always in a meeting. I have a lot of events, whether it’s charity or regular events that I go to. I’m a mom so I wake up and take my son to school. I don’t find that the day is ever really calm for me. I’m also taking acting classes. I have a movie coming out in March.

Can you talk a little about that project?

I play Sonia in Think Like A Man, based on Steve Harvey’s book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. My character is the one person who is a pessimist about this book. I don’t understand why everyone is following it as a guideline of how to function in a relationship. My costars are amazing people like Taraji Henson, Gabrielle Union, Jerry Ferrara from Entourage and Kevin Hart, who never made it feel like you were at work. It was jokes and fun all day long.

What else are you working on?

There’s such attention now on bullying and self esteem. Melo and I are working on a children’s book teaching kids that it’s OK to be different and embracing that. Not feeling like something is wrong with you. I also just wrapped my first play here in New York, Love Loss and What I Wore. I’m really proud of that. It’s good to kind of break in on that side and do something new.

What do you like to do when you are in Miami?

I like to go shopping. The Webster always has something. And The Children’s Place has great sweaters, jeans, accessories and pajamas. I love their stuff and buy a lot of it. I also like to go Bal Harbour Shops and walk up and down Lincoln Road.

You were recently on “Kourtney & Kim Take New York’’ giving Kim relationship advice about her ex, Kris Humphries.

Kim is one of my close, close friends. I told her to wait to have a child. She had just gotten married, and you need time to enjoy each other before you jump in and have kids. It would be advice I would give to anyone. Once a kid comes into the fold it’s great, but it changes everything.

How is Carmelo doing now that the lockout is over?

He’s thrilled. He was so excited to play on Christmas. It was a very crazy time for awhile, not knowing what was going to happen. He’s practicing really hard.

Does he like playing against the Miami Heat?

Those guys are all friends. It’s a friendly competition — LeBron and D-Wade and Gabrielle Union, the crew down there. Even during the finals, we sit together and laugh. We make it fun.
