  • Video ~ BET’s Rocsi Diaz Discusses Her Battles with Eating Disorders

    Jul, 31 2009 | Written by ATLien

    rocsi2

    In a heartbreaking revelation yesterday, Rocsi Diaz from BET’s 106 & Park openly discussed struggling through an eating disorder in high school. The normally bubbly host broke down during the taping of the show as she described her use of diet pills and anorexic behavior in order to remain thin for her cheerleading team.

    I commend her bravery in revealing this on television…in front of a live audience. Body image issues (especially in the entertainment industry) is common and while not everyone can openly admit that they binge/purge, use diet pills and go through other extreme measures to fit in to the industry standard of beauty, she did and I’m sure her story touched quite a few lives.

    Check out the segment below:

    Cry For Help? ~ Michael Jackson’s “Morphine” Song

    Jul, 30 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Michael-Jackson102

    Did Michael Jackson predict his own demise in a song?? ‘Morphine’ from the 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix is being tossed around online and the question is being asked did the song actually foreshadow his death and reveal his Demerol addiction? The song starts off with the lyrics “He got flat baby/Kick in the back baby/A heart attack baby/I need your body.” But the verse about morphine substitute Demerol is what is creating a ton of buzz, particularly after rumors have surfaced that Michael had been suffering from drug addiction and abuse. Recent reports that Jackson was injected with the same painkiller just before his death also sparks the controversy surrounding the track.

    Check out the haunting song and lyrics below: Continue Reading…

    Big Boi was spotted chillin with Minnie Mouse during his vacay at Disney World. You betta watch your back Twan, I heard Mickey is a jealous mofo! 😆 It seems as though Big Boi is getting some much needed R&R before hitting the promo track for the release of his highly anticipated solo project, “Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty”. The first single from the upcoming album, Royal Flush, was released March 2008 and the second single is “Sumthin’s Gotta Give” featuring Mary J. Blige.

    I think this is the cutest photo ever! A-town meets Magic Kingdom…Love it! Mad props to Freshalina for the heads up on the pic!

    Cops Suspended for Unauthorized Presidential Background Check

    Jul, 30 2009 | Written by ATLien

    461_30_Barack-Obama-using-his-Mac-and-Blackberry
    Two idiotic DeKalb County officers are being investigated for allegedly performing a background check on President Barack Obama. Officials would not release the names of the officers accused in the July 20th incident, but they each have been placed on administrative leave after the United States Secret Service notified county officials that Dekalb County computer equipment had been used to do a query on the President.

    The officers have not been charged with any crime (yet) but the county?s Internal Affairs division is handling the official investigation. When questioned about the incident, William ?Miz? Miller, DeKalb Public Safety director stated that such behavior would not be tolerated from their officers.

    ?As Public Safety Director for DeKalb County, I want everyone to know that we take these allegations very seriously,? he said in a statement. ?We expect our officers to adhere to professional standards and departmental policy. Furthermore, we do not and will not condone the inappropriate use of county equipment or resources.? (Source)

    Barack Obama is watching…y’all betta stop doin dump sh*t and get to work!

        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. 👽🛸

        🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still clo 🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still closed as of today *Nov 7, 2025! 

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
