  • Kelly Rowland Suffers Emotional Onstage Break Down… [VIDEO]

    Kelly Rowland Breakdown DC StraightFromTheA 1

    Kelly Rowland was really feeling? some kinda way when she performed her latest song “Dirty Laundry” live last Sunday (May 26, 2013).

    “Doing this song for me was so therapeutic,” she said during the show prior to the song. “Honesty, like my mama always says, is always the best policy.”

    [LISTEN: The “A” Pod – Kelly Rowland Airs “Dirty Laundry” (AUDIO)]kelly-rowland

    Rowland hit the stage at the Fillmore Silver Spring in Washington D.C. and the former Destiny’s Child member became overwhelmed with emotion and had to stop singing in order to compose herself during the song.

    About four minutes into the song, the songstress gets choked up just as she sings the line “Turnin’ me against my sister,” in reference to her DC pal Beyonce, and she eventually sits hunched over onstage with her head.

    The audience then comes to her assistance, chanting her name until she’s able to wipe away her tears and continue on with the song.

    In The Tweets: Miguel Says Black People Are Way Too Judgmental…

    Miguel StraightFromTheA

    Just days after falling short on his ‘leap of faith’ during the Billboard Music Awards (click HERE if you missed that), singer Miguel hit the tweets for a lil rant about race relations.

    Miguel, one of two sons born to a Mexican father and an African American mother, posted a rant of sorts about you Black people and your “judgmental” attitudes.

    [Sidebar: So lemme get this straight… Miguel is “judging” Black people (with a capital “B” by the way) for “judging” others? Hmmmm…. interesting.]

    5 LIfe Lessons Revealed on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta S2 Ep 6 + Watch Full Video…

    May, 28 2013 | Written by ATLien

    VH1?s-Love-Hip-Hop-Atlanta-Season-2-Trailer
    Memorial Day has come and gone and what better way to honor our fallen soldiers than to partake in a few ratchet reality shows?

    Love & Hip Hop Atlanta aka ‘All My Hoodrats’ aired it’s 6th episode of the 2nd season last night and the drama continues with more of the same ol’ same ol.

    Stevie J. and Mimi Faust are still playing cat & mouse about where she’s living now, Momma Dee is still “Team Shay” and even bought a cake to prove it, Traci Steele is still poppin off at chicks who even LOOK her baby daddy in the eye, Che Mack is still trying to get on Stevie J’s bus and Joseline is still HBIC.

    Noticeably absent this episode were Erica Dixon and Karlie Redd, while Whasserface found a way to keep herself in the mix by starting more drama by questioning Mimi’s new boyfriend’s sexuality while visiting his video shoot.

    Mimi Faust Nikko

    [WATCH: Mimi Faust Featured in Nikko & Johnny’s “NY 2 LA’ (OFFICIAL VIDEO)]

    Y’all know how I feel about Whasserface, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Mimi’s ‘Gaydar’ is a bit askew.

    THEY SAY: Tiny & Toya Fell Out Over A Reality Show…

    May, 24 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Tiny and Toya StraightFromTheA 1
    Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris and Antonia ‘Toya’ Wright used to be tighter than tight.

    The two BFF’s, who once shared a reality show on BET back in the day, are now rumored to be on the outs because one feels the other won’t use her “pull” to help her secure a spot on air.

    The more things change, the more they remain the same though because it’s almost like Deja Vu all over again… if you recall, Joy Bounds (aka Lyfe Jenning’s baby mama, who used to be a close friend to both ladies), once referred to Toya as a ‘backstabbing b*tch’ who stole her ideas and wouldn’t help her get on in the the reality show business).

    Now I guess it’s Toya’s turn to feel the burn.

    Details below… Continue Reading…

    Freedom of Speech Ain’t Free: Obama Schools Heckler on “Free Speech” (VIDEO)

    May, 23 2013 | Written by ATLien

    obama

    President Barack Obama responded to a disgruntled heckler during a national speech earlier today (May 23, 2013).

    The POTUS was repeatedly interrupted by the heckler, whose taunts slowed the delivery of a major national security speech in the Washington, D.C. area.

    [Freedom of Speech Ain’t Free: What Chris Stokes Doesn’t Want You To Know… ]Freedom of Speech SFTA

    The unidentified heckler began shouting at the president toward the tail end of his highly-anticipated address, when he touched upon U.S. policy toward detainees suspected of terrorist acts.

    [Freedom of Speech Ain’t Free: Bloggers Battle Bitter ex- “Housewife” in Court… (VIDEO)]

    Obama was forced to pause three separate times and talk over the protester, interrupting the flow of the closing section of the speech at National Defense University.

    ?I’m about to address it ma’am, but you’ve got to let me speak,? Obama scolded the woman. ?Why don’t you sit down and let me tell you exactly what I’d do.”

    ?Ma?am, let me finish. Let me finish ma’am,” said Obama. “This is part of free speech is you being able to speak but also you listening?

    And me being able to speak. All right??

        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?
