    Nov, 14 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was spotted in her new home state of California a few days ago, as she grabbed her a quick mani/pedi in Beverly Hills (November 11, 2012).

    You may recall how Leakes and her former frienemy Sheree Whitfield parted ways last season (if not CLICK HERE to watch a drag queen re-enactment), well word on the curb is that it was Leakes who issued the final order to give Whitfield the boot.

    [FLASHBACK: I Refuse to Believe This Man Is Sheree Whitfield + Proof She Got The Boot (PHOTOS)]

    We all know Sheree was fired…. even though she tried to save face with an official statement saying she “Quit.”

    Fast forward to today and Nene is finally spilling the tea about her former co-star being fired from the hit docu-drama.

    Leakes sets the record straight on what REALLY happened to the former housewife and says that Whitfield, as well as fellow EX-housewives Lisa Wu-Hartwell (aka Sharon Millette) and DeShawn Snow all have something in common. Continue Reading…

    Nov, 13 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Bobbi Kristina and The Houston family have embarked on a journey of discovery in their new Lifetime reality show, The Houston’s On Our Own but they’ve also received a ton of negative criticism over the way the teen is being portrayed.

    Throughout the 14 episode half-hour series, viewers are seeing the Houston Family as they come together to deal with the loss of Whitney and focus on Krissy, the 19 year-old daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney, and the only heir to her mother’s estate.

    This is truly a journey through the emotional spaces of a family that has been public for so many years.

    Mugshot Mania – Fox 5 Atlanta News Anchor Amanda Davis Busted For DUI…

    Nov, 13 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Amanda Davis, a local television news anchor posed for the mugshot above after she was arrested on DUI charges Sunday, November 11, 2012.

    Davis, an anchor at Atlanta’s WAGA-TV (Fox 5), was reportedly driving northbound in the southbound lane of Piedmont Avenue near 14th Street in Midtown around 12:20 a.m. when she caused a head on collision.

    Witnesses at the scene of the accident claim that the 55 year-old Davis was being followed in a separate car by a friend, a young male driver.

    After the accident, the gentlemen could be heard telling authorities on the scene that he’d met Davis at a bar earlier and was following her home to make sure she arrived without incident.

    Clearly that didn’t work. 😯

    Nov, 13 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Iyanla Vanzant is about to attempt to work her “Fix My Life” magic on troubled actress Maia Campbell .

    [FLASHBACK: Mugshot Mania – Two Words: “Maia Campbell”…]

    On the next episode of ?Iyanla Fix My Life,? Vanzant heads to Los Angeles to help Campbell, the actress best known for her role as ?Tiffany? on the 90s hit TV show ?In The House? starring LL Cool J and Debbie Allen.

    Maia struggled with drug addiction for years after the show was canceled and fell into a life of prostitution in order to feed her habit.

    Fans were in shock after several videos of a disheveled and strung out Maia went viral back in 2009. She was publicly humiliated but the video managed to shed light on her addictions and may have even saved her life.

    Nov, 13 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Kevin Clash, the voice and puppeteer behind the loveable Elmo character on the long running kiddie show ?Sesame Street,? has taken a leave of absence from the show after explosive allegations were made against him.

    Clash has been the voice of Elmo (and the ‘Tickle Me Elmo’ dolls) for more than two decades, but Sunday, after an unsubstantiated report that he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy, he voluntarily stepped away from his job.

    VIDEO: Elmo Interviews Kevin Clash

    The news sent shock waves through the show?s nonprofit producer, Sesame Workshop, who moved quickly to protect their 43 year-old brand (estimated by Forbes to be worth more than $500 million).

    Usher Raymond Takes Kids AND House From Ex-Wife Tameka! Just in Time For Thanksgiving… [PHOTOS]

    Nov, 12 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Holidays should be a time of joy and giving but for superstar Usher Raymond, it seems to be a time of vindictiveness & mean spirits in his daily quest to hurt his ex-wife Tameka Foster Glover Raymond.

    After a long drawn out custody battle, a judge ruled in Usher’s favor, giving him “primary” custody of he and Tameka’s two young sons, Usher V (Cinco) and Naviyd.

    Tameka and her attorneys fought a hard battle against the superstar, who’s legal team admittedly had ties to the judges re-election campaign.

    [READ: CBS Launches Investigative Report on Judge in Usher Custody Battle (VIDEO)]

    The final order in the case goes into effect November 20, 2012, and on that date she is to turn over her sons to Usher.

    Everyone has their own opinions about the situation. Some of y’all feel it’s all justified, while there are many who feel that the single mother is being railroaded by her richer, more powerful ex-husband.

    Have you all forgotten that Tameka lost her young son Kile just a few months ago?? While we see her smiling on the outside, this can’t be an easy situation to deal with. 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. 👽🛸

        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?
