  • Kim Zolciak Sells Baby Bump Bikini Pics (PHOTOS) + “FREE Sweetie!” Campaign Gains Steam…

    Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Kim Zolciak hasn’t been seen on the scene much these days. In fact, she’s been intentionally keeping her baby belly under wraps. That’s because Zolciak, ever the opportunist, has sold the exclusive rights to her belly baring images to Life & Style magazine.

    Kim covers this month’s issue of the mag and opens up about her belly, her man (25 year old Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann) and the possibility of another baby in their future!

    “I’ll be 33 when I have this baby, and I’m more in touch with my body now,” Kim tells Life & Style. The reality star, who already has two daughters, Brielle, 13, and Ariana, 9, from a previous marriage, says she’s gained about 20 pounds so far.

    Only 20lbs? That’s great! Hopefully Kim has finally given up smoking, but word on the curb is that she’s still puffin’ every now and then.

    [READ: Kim Zolciak Still Pregnant & Still Smoking…]

    Check out Kim’s bulging bikini belly below oh… and in honor of Black History Month, a campaign has been launched to “Free Sweetie” and they are serious as hell about it. (You’ve got to see it to believe it!): Continue Reading…

    Check Her Footwork! Monica Brown’s Python Red Bottoms…

    Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Monica arrived at the 1st Annual Hall of Game Awards in L.A. rocking a hot pair of sky-high black & white python Christian Louboutins. She’s definitely fully recovered after that nasty cut she received in the club earlier this month.

    Mo’s never been a slouch when it comes to her footwork and these are definitely no exception!

    In related news, Mo and Ciara have a pair in common. Mrs. Brown was spotted out on the scene in L.A. last night rocking those same Loubou Tondra Fur Boots that CiCi wore courtside last month.? No surprise there. They both have game!

    But I digress…

    The newly wedded basketball wife, who goes by Monica Brown these days, is currently planning a huge wedding reception for her family and friends while working on her seventh album New Life, due this summer.? I love it that she’s happy!

    Lupe Fiasco’s Atlanta Listening Session + New Music: “All Black Everything”

    Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Lupe Fiasco was back in Atlanta this week to premiere his “Lasers” CD, which hits stores officially March 8th.

    During a private listening session at The Sound Table lounge, Lupe treated a few select ears to an early listening session for his project.

    I first sat down with Lupe last November, just as his single, “The Show Goes On” was generating buzz [Sidebar: it has since went GOLD… selling over 500k copies!].

    At that time, Lupe was putting the finishing touches on “Lasers,” (his 3rd studio album), and he was excited about it’s upcoming release.

    [READ: One on One with Lupe Fiasco ~ PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Now the project is complete and it’s about to hit the shelves. My how time files!

    Spotted at the private listening session were: Grand Hustle CEO Jason Geter, Mike Bigga (aka Killer Mike), DJ Trauma and a host supporters and friends.? [Special thanks to Warner for the invite!]

    Check out photos from Lupe Fiasco’s “Lasers” listening session PLUS listen to another new single from “Lasers” entitled, “All Black Everything”: Continue Reading…

    Mugshot Mania ~ 400lb Cookie Monster Attacks Over Missing Thin Mints!

    Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Meet 31-year-old Hersha Howard. Howard is *dead “A”zz serious* about her Girl Scout cookies! So much so, that when her roommate (allegedly) ate her stash of thin mints, Howard went crazy and tried to beat her “A”zz…. over some dayum COOKIES!!!!

    According to the Naples Daily News, Howard woke up her roommate, Jasmin Wanke around 1am Sunday morning and accused her of eating her Thin Mints.

    As you know, the chocolate-coated mint wafers are one of the most popular Girl Scout varieties and are only available once a year.

    Howard, apparently distressed over the fact that she’d have no thin mints again until next spring, yelled and screamed at her roommate about those dayum cookies during the wee hours of the morning and then physically attacked her! Continue Reading…

    Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Ciara was spotted pounding the pavement of Beverly Hills recently with her two adorable pups, Tyson & Georgia, in tow.

    As she shopped Rodeo Drive til she dropped, the “Gimme Dat” singer apparently lost track of time and ended up with a lil gift from the Beverly Hills police department… a parking ticket!

    Oh well… it happens to the best of us.

    Usher Raymond + David Beckham = Way Too Much Sexy in One Room! [PHOTOS]

    Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Usher Raymond performed at the 02 Arena in London last weekend (February 18, 2011) and was greeted by David Beckham backstage.

    Rumor has it that David and Victoria’s three sons are huge Usher fans and love to mimic Usher’s smooth moves.? The boys each got a chance to show him their dancing skills backstage at the London concert.

    “As soon as they saw Usher they ran up, hugged him, then broke off to show him all the dance moves he taught them the last time they met.

    The kids were so excited to be break dancing for Usher,” said a source close to the Beckham family.

    The ”OMG” hitmaker earlier revealed that David wanted him to give dancing lessons to the couple”s three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz.

    Usher was particularly impressed by the youngest child”s skills and admitted he would love to invite Cruz on tour one day in the future.

    “Little Cruz is amazing. He can do breakdancing and head spins on the ground. He”s a little too young to come on stage with me, but one day he”ll be fantastic,” said Usher.

    In addition to his concert, Usher also launched the London leg of his New Look Foundation, aimed at mentoring disadvantaged youths at The Brunswick Club on February 19, 2011.

        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. 👽🛸

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?
