    May, 12 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Beyonce Knowles is artist of the millennium according to Billboard.

    The 29 year old super diva is preparing for her highly anticipated album release and will be honored with Billboard’s Millennium Award during the annual Billboard Music Awards.

    How many Beyonce’ video teasers are required these days before a full length video is released? [How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?]

    I ask all the important questions… 😆

    Apparently the answer is “4,” which is also the new title of Beyonce’s upcoming CD that features her new hit single, “Run The World (Girls).

    Beyonce explained her special connection the number, stating:

    We all have special numbers in our lives, and four is that for me.

    It’s the day I was born. My mother’s birthday, and a lot of my friends’ birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.

    Moms on Facebook have been catching a bad rap for years and now a campaign has been started asking all y’all mommies to “log off” the popular social network.

    An ad has been created which is basically a call asking moms to log off of Facebook and play with yo dayum kids!

    While most of you have enough sense to know when enough is enough, Alexandra Tobias (the 22 year old mom who killed her toddler after he interrupted her FarmVille game time) and Shannon Johnson (the mom sentenced to 10 years after her son drowned while she busy FaceBooking), and THIS chick (NSFW) obviously did NOT!

    [READ: NeNe Leakes Wants You To Know… (Why She Quit Celebrity Apprentice) ]

    In a recent sit down with Sister2Sister, the loud mouthed diva admits that she has been seeing a therapist lately but doesn?t think anger management counseling is a necessity in her life.

    I don?t think I have an anger problem.

    I have been talking to a therapist for the fourth season [of ?Real Housewives of Atlanta?] and what I have learned about myself is that I take a lot of… usually, when I?m going off on somebody, I?m not necessarily going off on them on just that.

    I be gettin? em from way back last month. I should have told you this about a month ago, so I?m fixin? to get you for everything.

    NeNe says she’s her biggest critic but she’s learned a lot about herself from watching her television antics.

    She also speaks on Donald Trump, saying she “never saw racism” and addresses the public?s perception of her as a “bully” and a “party girl”.

    Actress/singer Jennifer Hudson joined Alliance for a Healthier Generation to promote Weight Watchers Walk-It Challenge at the Namaste Charter School on May 10, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois.

    Promoting the third annual Walk-It Challenge for Weight Watchers, Hudson practiced yoga moves with students of the Charter School and further encouraged them to maintain a healthy lifestyle and continue working out.

    Hudson expressed her delight at being a part of the campaign and speaking to kids at the school, stating:

    I’m just glad to be here and be a part of it. It kind of goes hand in hand with the way they encourage good health and teach kids that way.

    I wanted to make sure that I gave that example to go off of.

    As Weight Watchers’ ambassador, J-Hud lost over 86lbs. She spoke about the necessity of keeping active with her son so that he learns the value of being active and exercising at a young age.

    Jennifer also spoke of her affinity for fellow Chicagoan Oprah Winfrey. She expresses her disappointment about Miss. O’s “retirement” but reveals she may be next up to fill Winfrey’s Loubous.

    May, 11 2011 | Written by ATLien

    When it rains it pours and it’s lookin like a monsoon for po Jermaine Dupri!

    Access Atlanta revealed yesterday that the SoSo Def label head has been in and out of court since January 26, 2011 battling a child support case against filed by Sariai Jones, a former Magic City stripper who danced under the name ?Obsession?.

    After obtaining a verifying JD’s paternity, a judge ordered Dupri, 38, to pay the former stripper $2,500 per month in child support for her 7-month old daughter.

    [Sidebar: 7 months huh? I guess we know now why Janet jetted…]

    The judge also ordered JD to pay Jones an additional $7,500 based on the positive results of the paternity test.

    As you know, Jermaine just barely avoided foreclosure of his Atlanta home earlier this month, WSB-TV also revealed that Dupri owes over $493,000 in back taxes for 2007…. plus over $12,000 in property taxes on the Fayetteville home where his mother currently resides.

    According to SandraRose, Dupri?s longtime friend, local club owner Alex Gidewon, attempted to help him out a bit last year by hiring Dupri to deejay at the Gold Room.

    Durpri is rumored to be paid up to $10,000 for deejaying gigs around the country.

    Newsflash! Whitney Houston Banned From Prince Concerts…

    May, 11 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Prince is not pleased with Whitney Houston! Apparently Whitney’s bad press has been distracting him and the “purple one” has taken drastic measures to separate himself Ms. Houston and her bizarre actions.

    According to TMZ, his Royal Purple Highness revoked Whitney’s “Prince Pass”after becoming fed up with her erratic behavior and constant demands for free tickets.

    Word on the curb is that Whitney, who spent a bit of quality time with daughter Bobbi K at a Prince concert just last week, was constantly badgering Prince’s staff to let her hit the stage.

    Whitney’s request was denied several times due to the fact that Prince’s camp “didn’t want her to embarrass herself,” but after she made her presence known at SEVERAL concerts over the weeks, Prince finally obliged and allowed Whitney to perform onstage with Chaka Khan during his show.

    [READ: Whitney Houston Performs Onstage with Prince & Chaka Khan ~ VIDEO]

    Whitney’s erratic behavior, coupled with her repeated and excessive ticket demands eventually became too much for Prince and his team ultimately banned Houston from attending any more of his concerts.

        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?
