  • In Remembrance: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Would Have Been 40 This Year… [PHOTOS] + WATCH ‘Last Days’ Video Documentary…]

    May, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Lisa ?Left-Eye? Lopes, member of the popular 90’s R&B group TLC, would have celebrated her 40th birthday this year.

    It seems like just yesterday TLC’s Ooooooohhh… On the TLC Tip arrived on the scene, selling six million copies worldwide.

    1994 saw the release of CrazySexyCool, which sold over fifteen million copies worldwide and cemented TLC as one of the biggest female groups of all time.

    Lopes, along with group members Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, enjoyed huge success in the early 90’s and had many hit singles such as Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg, Hat 2 da Back, No Scrubs, Waterfalls, and What About Your Friends.

    The album’s marketing was a huge success… riding high off of Lopes’ dramatic (and often violent) love affair with NBA footballer Andre Rison.

    Lisa was dubbed the “Crazy” in “Crazy, Sexy, Cool” after she avoided jail time for torching Rison’s home. Continue Reading…

    Twitter Beef: Amber Rose Says VIBE Lied in Cover Story…

    May, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Amber Rose covers the June/July issue of Vibe Magazine where they’re referring to her as “Sexy AND relevant” and you’d think she’d be happy about it.

    I mean seriously… she’s famous for doing what exactly? Being Kanye’s muse?

    [READ: Kanye’s Vision: Amber Rose Spread Eagle in Elle – PHOTOS]

    Or perhaps her relationship with Wiz Khalifa is keeping her relevant. *shrug*

    Whatever the case, the bald bombshell admits in her VIBE interview that Yeezy taught her but she’s not very happy about seeing the revelation in print!

    Kanye would always tell me how beautiful I was and that I was going to be iconic. He always said that, ?Baby, you are iconic. You don?t understand what you have.’ I didn?t. I didn?t understand it.

    Atlanta Model LaShawna Threatt Dies After 10th Floor Fall From Midtown Hotel… [PHOTOS]

    May, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    The city of Atlanta is reeling after a bizarre accident that took two vibrant young lives.

    LaShawna Threatt, 30, an aspiring model, plunged to her death early Saturday morning and her close friend Ciara Williams, 25, clings to life in intensive care after a freak accident over the Memorial Day weekend.

    The bizarre accident occurred during the early morning hours of Saturday (May 28), as both Threatt and Williams fell through a 10th floor window at the W Hotel in midtown Atlanta.

    Witnesses at the swanky hotel told officers that Threatt and Williams crashed through the window at around 3:15 a.m.

    Reportedly the two were “play fighting” and pressed up against a window, the glass suddenly gave way and the window broke as friends at the gathering watched in horror. Continue Reading…

    R.I.P. ~ Atlanta Police Shoot & Kill “Granny Bandit”

    May, 27 2011 | Written by ATLien

    An elderly woman suspected in a slew of robberies was shot dead today by Atlanta Police Officers.

    58 year old Roxanne Taylor, of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Atlanta, was spotted in the drive-through of Wendy’s on Piedmont Road by someone who noticed that she matched the APD’s description of the “Grandma Bandit” who has robbed at least four metro area drugstores in the past two weeks.

    Atlanta police arrived and attempted to stop the woman after she left the drive-through in a gold Jeep Liberty. The woman fled, leading police on a high-speed chase northbound on I85 northbound and causing a minor traffic accident after exiting at North Druid Hills Road.

    According to the AJC, officers involved in the chase say they heard a gunshot, so they returned fire, hitting the elderly Taylor multiple times. Neither of the officers was injured.

    Kandi Burruss Discusses NeNe Leakes’ Bad Attitude & Kim Zolciak’s Bad Royalty Debts… [VIDEO]

    May, 27 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Real “Housewife” of Atlanta Kandi Burruss (and her new longer doo) was spotted out recently looking well rested and refreshed.

    VLAD-TV caught up with Grammy-award winning realty star and convinced her to give an opinion on NeNe Leakes’ beefing with everyone on Celebrity Apprentice:

    I saw NeNe chasing Star Jones around and that ole mess…. and it’s pretty much what I see when she’s on our show, so it really wasn’t that big of a deal to me.

    Kandi also talked about Barack Obama crashing the Celebrity Apprentice finale’ and discusses how Kim Zolciak? (who swore that she’d cut a check during the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 3 Reunion Show) still hasn’t paid her any royalties for penning “Tardy for the Party”.

    [Sidebar: Kandi says she doesn’t expect to see ONE penny… ]

    Video of Kandi’s interview below: Continue Reading…

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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?
