  • Quick Quotes: ATLien on Why We LOVE Atlanta…

    Nov, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Creative Loafing recently revealed the top 157 Reasons Atlantans love ATL in their “We ? ATL” edition and looky who they hit up for a quote.

    Of course, y’all know I’m always hyped about reppin’ the home team, so the number #1 reason I personally love Atlanta is…

    Because we have our own terminology:

    “ATL, SWATS [South West Atlanta Too Strong], Old NAT’L, and, of course, ATLien ? all invented by Dungeon Family artists. Also, true Atlantans also know that the only ‘T’ found in ‘Atlanna’ comes in a glass with lots of sugar and a lil lemon.”

    ~ Michelle “ATLien” Brown, hip-hop/gossip blogger, StraightFromTheA.com

    [Sidebar: Yeah… I took it waaay back with that pic of me, T-Mo and Khujo Goodie! 😆 ]

    Please feel free to share reasons you LOVE and/or HATE the great city of Atlanta…

    Monica Addresses Pregnancy Rumors on The Wendy Williams Show [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Nov, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Monica Brown appeared on Wendy Williams‘ talk show today (November 30, 2011) and she was absolutely GLOWING!

    Mo spoke with Wendy about her whirlwind relationship and the first time she set eyes on her new husband NBA baller Shannon Brown, who sat in the audience in support of his boo.

    I’m very spiritual and I believe sometimes we have our own plan and God has another. So I had decided that it would just be me an my kids. Remember me explaining to you ‘I’ll just be by myself’?

    You know, I think sometimes I see a little to much, because of what I do I see what the men do when their wives are at home, the whole 9 yards… so I was like ‘I’ll be alone, works for me. I already have kids’.

    I go to work one day, I was shooting the “Love All Over Me” video… I go into the shoot and he walks in – and of course he’s SO easy on the eyes.

    [Sidebar: I called it first cause I’m psychic. Gimme my credit! >? PHOTOS: Monica Gets Married (Behind the Scenes of “Love All Over Me”)]

    Mo also took the opportunity to properly addresses those pesky pregnancy rumors once and for all in front of Wendy’s nationwide television audience.

    Dorion Renaud (BET’s College Hill Atlanta) is HOT & Needs Water… [PHOTOS]

    Nov, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Looky who’s working! It’s Dorion Renaud aka Dorion Standberry from the Atlanta season of BET’s College Hill…

    Last time I even bothered blogging about the ex-reality show participant, his twitter had been “hacked” by what appeared to be a disgruntled lover who posted several naked pics of Dorion online.

    [READ: BET Reality Star “Hacked” & Outed on Twitter ~ PHOTOS (NSFW)]

    Well, just like Kimmy Kardashian, it looks like Dorion’s “leaks” may have bought him a lil bit of street cred because while most of his former Atlanta cast/school mates are somewhere either working at Hooters and/or crashing parties (wassup Chivonne), Dorion seems to be getting busy in L.A.

    T.I. acknowledges he made mistakes that affected his family, but resolves to do whatever it takes to make his clan bigger and better than they ever were before:

    As a hip-hop artist, I’m a hustler. Period.

    America, listen: I was in prison. True. I did my time. Now I’m out. Now let’s never discuss this again. Ok?

    I’ve got a million and one reasons to be out doing what I do professionally but, the most important thing to me in the world… is family.

        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?
