  • Breaking News ~ No Jail Time for Chris Brown!

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    45418480

    TMZ was in the L.A. courtroom as the judge revealed Chris Brown’s fate in the Rihanna felony assault case.? Early into the court proceedings, Chris copped a plea in the case where he won’t do jail time, but he will spend 6 months doing things like road cleanup. He’s also been ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna.

    Chris has been ordered to spend 180 days doing hard labor in his home state of Virginia and will be placed on 5 years probation for FELONY assault (he pled guilty). He’ll get supervised probation and will have to appear in court every three months.

    Chris has also been ordered to enroll in a domestic violence counseling program. The judge also imposed a stipulation in the agreement which states that if Brown and Rihanna are at the same public events, the 50-yard stay away turns into 10 yards. The stay away order lasts 5 years.

    The judge said she wanted to make sure that Chris Brown “was treated as any other person who comes through this court.” Therefore, if he violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison.

    Rihanna appeared in the courthouse but never entered the courtroom.

    So Brown is now a convicted felon and loses the the following rights: To own a gun, to sit on a jury, subject to search and seizure without a search warrant and he now has limitations on travel.

    Brown left the courtroom and just after he left, Rihanna walked in the courtroom. The judge explained the deal to her and spoke to Rihanna about the protective order. (Source)

    The “A” Pod ~ “Taxi” ~ Monica

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    index

    Monica was photographed in Baltimore a few weeks ago while on tour with Keyshia Cole’s “A Different Me Tour.” She looks fabulous as usual even when caught by surprise and she lives for her two beautiful sons Romelo and Lil Rocko. Monica has newly released track from her highly anticipated come back CD. You may remember this track from Mo’s PeachTreeTV reality show “The Single: Monica” a few months back when she was working in the studio with B. Cox tryna find her next single. A snippet of the song was released back then and quickly made the internet rounds. Now the completed version is here for your listening pleasure!

    BET’s Dorion Responds to Twitter Drama: “I’m Not Gay”

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    d2

    Dorion Standberry from BET’s College Hill Atlanta woke up this morning to a ton of drama (and a ton of free publicity). In case you missed it, Dorion’s Twitter page was hacked by a disgruntled lover/ex-boyfriend/stalker who released a ton of celebrity phone numbers and addresses. as well as Dorion’s butt booty naked pics.

    I’m of the mindset that Dorion did this sh*t himself. The former BET reality celeb left the confines of Atlanta, Georgia for bigger and better things in L.A. LA land. It’s a totally different world in hollyweird and most have to do crazy things to stand out from the crowd. All graduates of the college of self-promotion have either leaked a sex-tape, naked booty pics or both, so pretty soon Dorion will be way ahead of the game. We’ll probably see him chillin with the Kardashian’s or posted up with Ray-J at the Ivy in about 5…4…3…2…

    Mark my words. This reeks of the work of a top knotch Los Angeles PR firm. Check out what Dorion has to say about the drama during his recent “press” rounds below:

    Mugshot Mania ~ Another Smart Walmart Shopper

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    orignal_1147001_83j9scz_williams

    When I read this story, I had a strange feeling of deja vu. I know you guys recall the Mom who left her two infants in the car to shoplift, well this weekend yet another Walmart shopper was caught and given the mother of the year award for leaving her twins in a hot car while she shopped at a Clayton County Walmart:

    A Barnesville mother was arrested Saturday night after leaving her 4-month-old twins in her locked car while shopping at a Clayton County Wal-Mart.

    The infants, who weren?t harmed, were discovered by another shopper who could hear their cries through the cracked windows of Jenesia Williams? Toyota Scion.

    ?I was in total shock,? said Darlene Marshall, of Stockbridge, who was parked next to the Scion. She and her husband were leaving the Ellenwood store, a little after 10 p.m., when she discovered the twins.

    Marshall said she hesitated before calling 911.

    ?I just assumed the mother would be right out,? she said. Instead, it would be ?at least 20 minutes? before Williams, 26, reappeared, Marshall said.

    Police were waiting for Williams, who was arrested and charged with two counts of child cruelty. The children were taken to an area hospital, where they were check out and released to the custody their father. (source)

    It’s been upwards of 90 degrees lately and those kids could have died in that heat! I’m calling for all you dumb mothers to give up your kids today. You don’t have to keep em if you don’t have common sense. Seriously. Their lives are in your hands and if you can’t protect them let somebody else do it.? That’s my PSA for the day.

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    perez

    Twitter was off the dayum chain this morning. Not only did BET’s Dorion Stanberry get “hacked” by what appears to be a disgruntled lover, but Perez Hilton tweeted about being assaulted by Will.i.am of the Black-Eyed Peas and his security guards:

    Beginning just after 3 a.m., Hilton started tweeting about the alleged attack:

    ? PerezHilton: I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.

    ? PerezHilton: I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.

    ? PerezHilton: Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel.

    Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, is in Toronto where he presented at Sunday night?s MuchMusic Awards.

    Will.i.am addressed the issue via video. Check out what he had to say below: Continue Reading…

    All of Atlanta came out to support Hot 107.9’s annual birthday bash last weekend. The event was somewhat long winded beginning around 5:30 and ending way past midnight but it was a total A-Town celebration. All eyes were on Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane, as everyone expected some kind of drama to pop off but fortunately there was only fun and music and no sounds of gunshots or knife wounds to report.

    My birthday bash summary? Keri Hilson rocked a new doo, Lil Duval rocked a “Fake Ass Chain,”Plies blew $50,000 in ones, Trey Songz was caught “backstage pimpin”, and Jeezy and Gucci Mane avoided conflict. That’s about the jist of it. Oh yeah…and there was one helluva finale performance!

    Peep a few videos of some of the hottest performances of the night, as well as more flix from Birthday Bash and the Zone 4 skybox party below: Continue Reading…

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
