    Usher Raymond IV? popped bottles in Hollywood t as he celebrated his ‘Best R&B Performance” Grammy win for “Climax” but his lil brother, James Lackey, 28 (aka J-Lack) had his own celebration in Atlanta late last night (February 10, 2013).UsherJames

    I received several phone calls and quite a few emails last night about Lackey’s ‘drunk & disorderly’ condition after he argued with bartenders downtown at the Twelve in Atlantic Station who didn’t want him driving in his condition.

    Staff at the Twelve reportedly debated about calling the authorities but apparently James slipped out and into his truck before a decision could be made.

    When he tried to drive off inebriated, he hit a few curbs and flattened both tires on the right side of his vehicle. Thankfully, no one was hurt!

    [READ: Phaedra & Apollo Release “Donkey Booty” Workout Series… (VIDEO + PROMO SHOTS)]

    Parks, who showed off her expanding baby bump, politically explained the reasoning behind the “Donkey Booty” label by explaining that a “Donkey Booty” is a curvaceous behind that stands out like ?a perky peach.?Phaedra Parks Funky Donky

    [READ: Donk Off! Phaedra Parks vs. Kenya Moore… Who Wins? (PHOTOS)]

    Phaedra said that after having lil Ayden, her curvacious behind lost a bit of definition. So her husband Apollo, a certified personal trainer, developed a program just for her to get her booty back poppin.

    Apparently Apollo’s program worked so well that they decided to market his techniques to the masses with an exercise video.

    Apollo showed the hosts of ‘The Doctors’ how to do Phaedra’s infamous ‘Funky Donkey,’ a move from their exercise video and pretty soon had every last one of them doing the ‘Funky Donkey back and forth across the stage.

    Chris Brown brought his well publicized beef with Frank Ocean to the 55th Annual Grammy Awards last night (February 10, 2013).Frank Ocean Grammys

    It’s only been a few weeks since the two battled outside of an LA recording studio and authorities are still investigating it as an assault case.

    Frank says he was called a homophobic slur during the fight and claims Chris punched him in the face when?he refused to shake Chris’ hand in the parking lot the recording studio.

    [READ: Chris Brown Feels ‘Crucified’ After Frank Ocean Fight… ]

    Ocean beat out Brown for the Urban Contemporary Album award for his Channel Orange project and as he hit the stage to accept his Grammy, the audience stood up to cheer… well… all except Chris Brown (and his manager Bu Thiam) who happened to be sitting well within camera shot.

    Was Brown throwing shade or merely exercising his right to remain seated?

    5 Things I Learned From The Real Housewives of Atlanta S5, Ep 14 + Watch Video…

    RHOA S5 EP14 StraightFromTheA-23

    While most of the world was watching the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, the 14th episode of the 5th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta aired last night (February 10, 2013).

    The show, entitled “Prayed Up” was in my opinion, the most BORING episode this season.

    Two observations:?Porsha Stewart got way too much camera time this week and “Krazy”?Kenya Moore seems to be on a mission of damage control.RHOA S5 EP14 StraightFromTheA-29

    I almost don’t even have to write my “5 things” because Bravo wrote them for me in their synopsis:

    Porsha is pulling out all the stops to throw Kordell a Harlem Renaissance-themed party for his 40th.

    Cynthia isn’t pleased with Porsha?s lack of support she has dedicated to her pageant, and tempers flare when she confronts Porsha.

    Kandi meets with her manager Don Juan, who’s concerned about her lack of focus lately.

    At his big party, Kordell sets Cynthia and Porsha straight by helping to mend their relationship.

    Meanwhile, Kenya is shocked when she finds two suspicious lumps in her breasts.

        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?
