  • Ciara Wants You To Know…

    Feb, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Word on the curb is that Ciara has been unceremoniously dropped from Jive after her “Basic Instinct” album sales went double wood.

    CiCi hit up her social networks (Twitter & Facebook) to let the world know the truth about the rampant rumors and according to her statement, which you can read in it’s entirety below, she has “asked and prayed” for the label to release her.

    CiCi says she hasn’t received the proper support to make her projects successful and has spent over “one hundred thousand dollars” out of her own pocket to support her vision.

    Whatever the case, Ciara feels that she’s not being treated fairly and wants to be heard.? Read her full statement, entitled “My Time to Speak” below:

    To my fans:

    This week the net has been a buzz of the rumor that I have been dropped from my label.

    At this point that rumor is false.. It is true that I have asked and I pray that my label will release me. I have had some great times and success with my label, but sometimes like all great things, it’s at that point where I feel we don’t share the same views on who I am as an artist. Continue Reading…

    Newsflash! General Larry Platt Did NOT Win a Grammy (But He’s Still Trying)… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Feb, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    General Larry Platt, the breakout star of the 2010 season of American Idol, was spotted out and about recently and showed me some “A” town love (peep the t-shirt!)

    Platt performed his self-written hit “Pants on the Ground” on the red carpet of the Grammy Awards in 2010 [click here if you missed it], wasn’t nominated for Song of the Year this year (imagine that) and he’s pretty much dissolved into obscurity, but not because he ain’t trying.

    Platt is still on the grind, trying to get his “Pants on the Ground” CD heard around town. The 65 year old singing sensation died an early death online in the form of fictional death reports, but rest assured he’s still alive and kickin’ and dancing and singing…

    The “General” who earned the title after a well documented history during Atlanta’s Civil Rights movement, gladly gave me a lil serenade of his hit song recently. I think he was just happy to be noticed.

    If you got a few minutes to spare, check out the video of General Larry Platt’s StraightFromTheA rendition of “Pants on the Ground” PLUS he shows that old folks can still bust a move, as he pops locks & drops it to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.

    Oprah Winfrey Wins Bet That She Could Land Mike Vick Interview First…

    Feb, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Michael Vick may have ended the NFL season on a losing note in the playoffs, but he just made a winner out of Oprah Winfrey… at least he will next week.

    Winfrey made a lil wager with with Piers Morgan that she’d beat Larry King’s CNN replacement in landing the Vick interview. She bet him “200-pounds” during Morgan’s first show (“200 pounds” stems from Morgan being a Brit) and Vick’s appearance next week makes Miss O the winner of the bet. [Sidebar: As if Oprah EVER loses… ]

    Vick , who served 18 months in prison over a dogfighting operation, is scheduled to sit down for a one-on-one interview with Oprah on Feb. 24th to discuss, amongst other things, his prison time for dog-fighting crimes, and how he’s turned his life around.

    Vick was reinstated to the NFL for the 2009 season and has been doing public-service work with organizations like PETA and the Humane Society, every since his release.

    Mike’s story is a classic tale of redemption and I, for one, will be sitting front and center watching him on Oprah. I hope he doesn’t shed any tears…

    Will you be watching Mike Vick on Oprah?

    The ladies of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” went head to head with Grammy Awards last night for Part one of their Season 3 Reunion Show.

    Feb, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Rihanna through her modesty to the wind last night as she rocked the red carpet of the 2011 Grammy Awards wearing an amazing white layered, barely-there dress by Jean Paul Gaultier.

    Rih-Rih’s dress even stunned Ryan Seacrest so much that he had to stall others on the red carpet.

    Rihanna had several wardrobe changes throughout the evening’s event, gracing the Grammy stage not once.. but twice!

    She performed ?Love the Way You Lie? with Eminem and later in the broadcast hit the stage to spark a fire with her former jumpoff flame, Drake for ?What?s My Name,? where she gave him a standing “lap dance”…

    More photos PLUS video of Rihanna’s performances (“Love the Way You Lie” with Eminem & “What’s My Name” with Drake) 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?
