  • T-Boz Reveals Brain Tumor Battle + Plans For TLC’s Return Album

    Oct, 31 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins ~ The Early Show

    Tionne ‘T-Boz” Watkins appeared on CBS’s “The Early Show” yesterday. During an intense interview with Harry Smith, T-Boz revealed that she’s been living with a secret for the last three years after her doctor delivered news she never imagined: she was told she had a brain tumor. The tumor was benign, but because of her sickle cell disease, surgery was risky. Watkins was told she could lose everything a performer needs: hearing, balance, facial movement, and speech if she chose to undergo the procedure.

    “[I] can’t just go have surgery?” she asked. “They were like, ‘No, I’m sorry, sickle cell is a factor, that’s your reality and you can die.”

    Dr. Keith Black from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who is one of the country’s best neurosurgeons, met with Continue Reading…

    Tameka Foster Glover Raymond Speaks on Divorce, Usher, Chilli & Jonetta Patton + Another Blogger Under Attack

    Oct, 30 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Ryan Cameron & Tameka Foster Glover Raymond at V-103Photos by FreddyO

    Last week, Tameka Foster Glover Raymond took to the Atlanta radio airwaves to discuss a few rumors and address her constant blogger battles. Tameka was bold enough to answer V-103’s Ryan Cameron’s questions about her upcoming divorce from R&B superstar, Usher Raymond and even touched on the public’s perception of her as a golddigging wanna-be. Many of you may have heard the audio over at FreddyO’s spot before it mysteriously disappeared, but you didn’t hear Tameka’s take on Usher’s mom because someone thought it best to to leave it out.? Sad thing is, Tameka wasn’t even grateful for that lil act of kindness and decided that she would prefer that the videos and images all be removed since it didn’t get her the positive press she was seeking.? Someone needs to tell Meka that she’s probably NEVER gonna get it…

    Ryan struck a nerve when he asked Tameka about her strained relationship with Usher’s Mom/Manager,?Jonetta Patton. This is the the audio that was omitted from the initial video that was circulating the net but Tameka and Jonetta have never seen eye to eye on much of anything. Tameka even admits Continue Reading…

    Video ~ Frankie on the BET Hip-Hop Awards Red Carpet (The Remix)

    Frankie Lons ~ 2009 BET Hip-Hop AwardsPhoto by FreddyO

    I honestly was a bit pissed off when I saw someone had ganked my video from my Frankie Gives Relationship Advice + Her Emotional Red Carpet Exit post, but once I watched it, I could NOT stop laughing. Itzrag, the dude who “remixed” the vid is a dayum nutcase but he killed me and gave me life again with his rendition of Frankie’s “crackish” interview.

        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?
