  • Trey Songz Covers Rihanna’s “HARD” + Mo’Nique Show Performance Video

    Jan, 13 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Trey Songz is out to prove that he’s a solid player in this game. I think it’s official that he’s taken R. Kelly’s spot as the remix king. Check out Trey’s version of Rihanna’s “Hard” that I just got in my inbox:

    Trey Songz ~ “Hard”

    “Oh My God Tremaine just won’t let up…”

    Trey also hit up the Mo’Nique show recently and spoke about his Grammy nods, inventing sex and cougars. He shared the couch with Judge Mathis (one of my personal favs) and gets grilled big time!

    Trey also admits to having a having a “thing” for older women and gets grilled on his “relationship with Toni Braxton:

    To open the Soul Train awards with Toni Braxton was a childhood dream. And then to even to taste her sweet lips and then to go and work with her….?

    I gotta give him mad props for holding his own up against those old heads. Watch video of Trey’s recent appearance on The Mo’Nique Show + download link for his version of “Hard” below: Continue Reading…

    Cover Shots ~ Rihanna Speaks Up in “W” Magazine

    Jan, 13 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Rihanna covers the February 2010 issue of W Magazine and speaks candidly about all she’s gone through this year. She reveals how hard it was to remain silent while going through her issues with Chris Brown and states:

    ?Not talking was a big thing for me. I?m glad I didn?t talk to people, because I was able to deal with things in my own way, without saying the wrong things or giving people the wrong impression.?

    In speaking on her Rated R project, Rihanna reveals how used her pen to express conflicting emotions about leaving the abusive situation with Chris Brown. She explains why it’s still hard to listen to her own cd today: Continue Reading…

    Usher’s Million Dollar List + Final Photo of Stolen Bag

    Jan, 13 2010 | Written by ATLien

    A list has been revealed of items stolen from Usher Raymond’s truck over the Christmas holidays.? Usher placed a value of over a million dollars to those items and while most of you were like ‘WTF… I smell insurance fraud!‘? he may actually be telling the truth.

    One item mentioned on the list was a Bottega Veneta duffle bag, valued at $4,000. Although it’s questionable as to why those items where being carted around Atlanta, it’s true that Ursh actually owned that bag at one time.? He was photographed with one just like it as he was arriving in Washington DC to perform at Christmas in Washington, which was taped December 13th.

    According to initial reports, the items were stolen from his truck in Atlanta on December 14th…. a day after his scheduled DC performance. Case closed (but not really)…

    Peep the full list of items below + a final photo of Usher’s stolen bag below: Continue Reading…

    Eye-Candy: Evander Holyfield, Jr.

    Jan, 12 2010 | Written by ATLien

    I thought I’d drop a lil eye candy for the ladies (and some fellas) this afternoon. Check out Evander Holyfield, Jr. son of the boxing great by the same name. While his father is preparing for his comeback fight, 25 year old “EJ” has been listed as one of Atlanta’s Most Beautiful People for 2009.

    I was pursuing THE LIST earlier, expecting to see a familiar face and almost got mad when after ten pages deep I still hadn’t seen any chocolate colored beautiful people. Then this pic popped up:

    Evander Holyfield, Jr.

    So… like the stalker that I am, I went to find more shots of Junior, who happens to be an aspiring model, and lookey what I found: Continue Reading…

    Reality Show Alert! Maia Campbell is Up Next…

    Jan, 12 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Actress Maia Campbell became an instant online celebrity after THIS video hit the net, showing Maia dazed & confused and apparently selling her body for crack. After it was revealed that the woman in the video was not just a regular ole “crack whore”, but a former child star who was addicted to drugs, the internet went wild and the video was a viral sensation.

    Most wondered how Maia could go from being the beautiful actress – who worked acted alongside celebs in television sitcoms including LL Cool J and Alphonso Ribiero in In The House and Lorenz Tate in South Central– to the wacked out face of the “anti-horney” but the truth about Maia’s condition was that not only was she addicted to drugs, but she was a long-term sufferer of a mental disorder. (Read: The Sad Truth About Maia Campbell).

    Maia’s family eventually issued a statement acknowledging her drug addiction and mental disorder and Maia finally admitted herself to rehab. Now, after several months of therapy, she’s planning to put her life story on television: 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. 👽🛸

        🚨 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?
