    A new movie about the southside is coming to the big screen and it’s starring quite a few of your favorite ATLiens.

    “Welcome to College Park (The Movie)” hosted by DJ Aaries and starring BlackOwned C-Bone is said to have captured the true essence of CP for the masses.

    You may already know C-Bone as Big Boi?s partner in crime, he performs with him regularly and was also a part of Big’s Purple Ribbon All-Stars. Well now C-Bone is now stepping out on his own as a solo artist.

    I dunno how true it is, but the film already boasts a few independent film awards. Whatever the case, it features cameos from just about everyone from the Dungeon Family crew, including Big Boi, The Goodie Mob, Slimm Calhoun, and more.

    Feb, 9 2011 | Written by ATLien

    First Lady Michelle Obama sat down with NBC’s Today Show host Matt Lauer Wednesday, where she addressed the president’s smoking habit and recent speculation about whether the he dyes his hair.

    The First Lady recently confirmed that Obama has indeed kicked his nasty 10 year smoking habit, stating that it’s been almost a year since he took a puff.

    She takes Lauer’s jokes about Obama sneaking cigarettes in Lincoln bedroom in stride and credits the strong women in his life for his success in quitting.

    Lauer also asks the First Lady “Is he dyeing his hair?” while showing her pictures snapped last month of the president’s coif.

    “No,” she replied. Obama then commented that her husband looked “pretty gray” in the images shown. “I think if he had known he would be president, he would have started dyeing his hair ten years ago,” she added.

    The First Lady also revealed that daughters Sasha, 9, and Malia, 12, are not on the the popular social networking site,?Facebook (Smart move!) and she offers words of encouragement to the nation’s struggling workforce.

    Grocery Worker Gives Unsuspecting Shopper “Semen-Laced” Yogurt Sample… [VIDEO]

    Feb, 9 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Meet Anthony Garcia, 31, aka The “Sperminator”.? Garcia was arrested at his job working as a grocery clerk in New Mexico after he was accused of depositing his bodily fluids in food samples.

    A 28 year old New Mexico woman was grocery shopping last January when Garcia, who worked in the store’s dairy department, approached her with a yogurt sample.

    After ingesting a spoonful of the free sample, the woman immediately thought it tasted ?gross and disgusting? and said, ?it tasted like ?semen.??

    If you can “stomach” the full story, read more below: Continue Reading…

    Rumor Control: Fantasia’s Not Pregnant, She’s Just Getting Fat for a Role…

    Feb, 9 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Yesterday I posted pictures of Fantasia Barrino looking a lil thicker than normal and speculated that she may have a bun in the oven…

    [READ: Baby Bump Alert? Fantasia Barrino is Kinda Thick in the Waist.. ~ PHOTOS]

    When asked about her recent weight gain, Tasia’s manager stated:

    Fantasia is 100% not pregnant. The only thing she’s pregnant with is prosperity.

    In fact, she’s just signed on to play the lead in Mahalia and has been told to gain 30 to 45 pounds for the role.

    Tasia’s signed on to portray New Orleans-born gospel queen Mahalia Jackson in a big screen biopic. Mahalia was often referred to as the “The Queen of Gospel” and was one of the most influential gospel singers in the world and Fantasia’s a perfect choice to fill her shoes.

    The project, and Barrino’s casting, was announced?late yesterday (Feb. 8th).

    The new role comes at a perfect time, considering all the negativity associated with Fantasia and her married boyfriend, Antwuan Cook.

    Her association with Cook sparked a bitter battle between her and his ex-wife Paula. Barrino tried to escape the drama with a suicide attempt and luckily for us, she failed.

    The 26-year-old singer did, however win the court battle when a judge ruled that Cook had been separated from his wife prior to stepping out with Barrino…. and the rest is history.

    Hopefully all that drama is behind her and this new role will bring Fantasia some much needed positive energy.

        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?
