Mar, 31 2011 | Written by ATLien

Last night twitter was abuzz with activity after NBA Hall of Famer an former Atlanta Hawk Dominque Wilkins was allegedly attacked after last night’s Hawks game.

[Sidebar: The photo above was taken at last week’s game against the Bulls but I thought I’d use it since it’s oh so relevant to the story. 😆 ]

But I digress…

NBA.com’s Sekou Smith sent the following series of tweets last night alerting all to the altercation, stating Wilkins got in three “solid” punches during the brief fight, while his assailant landed none.

Well I dunno what Nique’ looks like this morning but his “attacker” looks like he got a severe beat down!!

Toni Braxton & Family Share Secrets Over Dinner + “Braxton Family Values” Sneak Peek [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]

Mar, 31 2011 | Written by ATLien

A few days ago (March 28), I had the honor of dining with the Braxtons at Atlanta’s AJA Restaurant.

WE tv hosted a press dinner and advance screening of the family’s upcoming reality series “Braxton Family Values”. I took a day off of dieting and we all dished the dirt over honey ginger chicken and cocktails.

Grammy-winning superstar Toni Braxton, her sisters Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar along with mom Evelyn were honest and open as they discussed everything from Toni’s well-known financial difficulties to failed marriages to the sister’s issues with background singing.

“A lot of things will be revealed on the show that will explain some of the situations I’ve been in over the last couple years,” said Toni, adding with a smile: “But you gotta watch and see.”

Lauryn Hill Wants Her Atlanta Fans to Know…

Mar, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

Lauryn Hill’s last concert in the “A” was a major disappointment after she hit the stage 3 hours late and proceeded to sing the same songs over and over again.

Even the most diehard fans felt ‘some kinda way’ about Lauryn’s actions and some even crossed her off their list of favorites for good.

Could Ciara Be The Next “Basketball Wife” ?

Mar, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

Ciara is known to sit court side on the regular flaunting her designer shoes and handbags, but could CiCi possibly be a future “basketball wife”?

The sexy songstress was spotted last night at the NY Knicks game as she cheered on her new boo.

[Sidebar: First Keyshia, then Monica now Ciara? I think I see a trend developing…]

I posed the question a few months ago of >> “Has Ciara Snagged Her A Baller?” after hearing that Ciara was dating Amare’ Stoudemire of the New York Knicks.

Well apparently the answer is “yes” (to the snagging part at least)…

Amare’ and Ciara were spotted out recently on a romantic date and she can thank her BFF LaLa Vasquez for the “hook up”!
