  • Bob Whitfield: ?L.O.V.E. is? a Non-MuthaF*ckin Factor!?

    Jul, 27 2011 | Written by WhatUpBob

    [Editor’s Note: After the positive response former NFL baller Bob Whitfield received on his 7 Reasons Why Women Cheat, I’ve decided to give him the SFTA platform yet again.? This time Bob takes aim at Cupid and the fairy tale feelings of LOVE vs. LIKE. Again, I have to state I have absolutely NOTHING to do with this commentary, and while he has me feelin ‘some kinda way’ right now, these are clearly all BOB’S views and opinions and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of me… ATLien! ]

    LOVE is… ‘a non-muthaf*ckin factor boo’ in your relationship! (I can hear the boo’s raining in now!)

    For couples, love is like the flour mixed with the grease that makes the gravy.

    LOVE has a magical all-purpose element to make a relationship recipe that is much more robust, exciting, romantic, etc and so on…. but who just wants gravy, or the special love sauce?

    Relationships, for LOVE’s sake, lead to Marriage.? Which is simply a social economic relationship between two people that provides tax and legal advantages for their union. [In layman’s speak: you get a tax write off and someone that can’t be forced to snitch on you in court]

    I’m not against marriage, relationships or being in LOVE for that matter. Continue Reading…

    Bow Wow?s Mom Wants You To Know? [Response to NYPost “BLIND ITEM”]

    Jul, 27 2011 | Written by ATLien

    The NYPost posted the following blind item the other day:

    Which hip-hop artist drove up to his agent?s office in a $200,000 car, wearing a $50,000 wristwatch, to beg for money because he?s ?dead broke? and needed $5,000 for child support?

    While most would have never in a million years guessed Bow Wow, his mom, Tereasa Caldwell managed to link his name to the deadbeat dad post.

    Just hours after the blind item hit the net, Caldwell rushed to the tweets in defense of her son, who just weeks ago publicly acknowledged paternity of his daughter, Shai.

    Check out what Bow Wow’s Mom wants you to know about her son… Continue Reading…

    Idris Elba “Mistakenly” Tweets Sexy Late Night Surprise… [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 27 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Sexy actor Idris Elba loves reaching out to fans via the social networking site twitter…. so much so, that he often sends out photos of himself like the one above, taken via his cell phone.

    If you’re also on the social network, you may be aware of a trend called #TAD (which stands for Twitter After Dark).

    The trend is strictly for adults and if you happen to be up during the wee hours in the morning, you may be shocked to discover all kinds of freaky sneaky-ness going on online.

    Well last night, Idris got in on all the late night fun and to the delight of his followers, sent out a steamy pic of himself followed by this revelation…

    Could Idris’ steamy photo been meant for someone other than his 240,000+ fans/followers? Hmmmm… who knows.

    Check out the eye candy the British actor released last night… Continue Reading…

    Kelly Rowland Bares Her Soul in VIBE Magazine… [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 26 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Kelly Rowland takes it all off in a slew of sizzling new promo shots.

    The steamy shoot was done by no other that our favorite celebrity photographer, Derek Blanks and features Kellz in several compromising positions.

    The photos will be featured in the digital booklet for Kelly’s 3rd studio album, ?Here I Am? (which hits shelves July 26th).

    Kelly also teased the readers of VIBE magazine this month, where she covers their Aug/Sept JUICE issue with another shot of her cleavage.

    In the issue, Kelly discusses those pesky Beyonce Comparisons and talks about her relationship with Matthew Knowles.

    Peep the VIBE cover + more sensual photos from Kelly’s digital booklet below… Continue Reading…

    Keri Hilson’s Rainy Day Swag… [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 26 2011 | Written by ATLien

    As I was perusing the internet on my self-proclaimed day off, I ran across a few photos of Keri Hilson on Crunk&Disorderly.

    Keri was spotted in full chill mode in NYC yesterday (June 25, 2011) when she encountered a bit of wet weather.? No worries though, MissKeriBaby was fully armed with a color coordinating umbrella (and a bodyguard who seemed content in the drizzle).

    Pretty girls rock!

    DaBrat Does DRAG! Rocks Dresses & Heels in VIBE… [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 25 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Shaunte Harris aka DaBrat recently got all “Fem’d” up for a photoshoot for VIBE Magazine’s Summer of Celeb’s in Swimwear issue…

    No, she’s not overexposed in a cut-out swimsuit or vintage bikini. Instead, she’s donning casual chic summer wear that’s appropriate for all types of summer fun.

    In maxi dresses, khaki shorts and an oversized cream-colored blouse, Da Brat rocks a head full of bodaciously brown curls and really exudes a soft, yet sultry demeanor.? Appropriate? Most definitely.

    I can just hear her PR now… “Girrrrrl if you wanna get ’em talkin’ WEAR A DRESS!”

    Welp… it worked!? More photos 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. 👽🛸

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?
