  • Tyra Banks Gets Emotional About Fertility Issues & Societal Pressures To Marry… [VIDEO]

    Sep, 17 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Tyra Banks 1

    For many career women, it?s often a struggle to balance family life with their career goals.

    Unlike our male counterparts, success for women isn?t only measured by our business acumen, but also by who and when we marry and/or have kids.

    tyra banks the realFor supermodel Tyra Banks, the sting of that double standard has weighed heavy on her heart in ways her fans had never known until she opened up about her fertility issues recently.

    In a clip from an upcoming episode of ‘FABLife,’ Banks and co-host Crissy Teigen speak candidly about the societal pressures to marry and conceive. Banks even got an bit emotional when speaking of the topic, stating:

    ?I just feel like we?re so hard on each other and so judgmental of each other and a woman that is divorced three times is more normal than a woman that has not been married.

    I am so tired of seeing on my social media, ?Why don?t you have kids? Why don?t you have kids?? You don?t know. You don?t know what I?m going through,? Banks said as the tears began to flow.

    Isn’t it sad how it’s more acceptable in today’s society to be a ‘baby mama’ than to be a woman over 40 with no kids?? *sigh*

    New Details Reveal Atlanta Brothers Planned Parent’s Murder ‘For Years’… [VIDEO]

    Sep, 16 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Ervin Family
    The Ervin family appear to be picture perfect in the photo above but the family’s drama is now the topic of legal analyst around the country this week. New information has been revealed about the case of the two Atlanta area brothers who attempted to murder their parents & set the family home on fire.

    [READ: Mugshot Mania – Atlanta Brothers Attempted to Kill Parents & Burn Home… (VIDEO)]

    Christopher Ervin (left), 22, Cameron Ervin (right), 17Cameron Ervin, 17, and Christopher Ervin, 22, have remained at Gwinnett County Jail since the Sept. 5, the date authorities arrived at the home after receiving a 911 call from their terrified mother claiming they were trying to kill her and their father.

    The night before the attack, Yvonne and Zachary Ervin got a call from one of their sons. He said he and his brother wanted to make the family dinner at their Snellville-area home.

    What followed that night, police believe, were Xanax-spiked cocktails. What came the next morning was a brutal assault that left Yvonne Ervin badly beaten, Zachary Ervin stabbed multiple times, and both brothers in the Gwinnett County jail.

    One of the brothers accused of attacking his parents even told police he?d been planning the crime since he was 11.

    More details about this bizarre case below… Continue Reading…

    EXCLUSIVE: #RHOA Apollo Nida’s Jailhouse Pen-Pal Speaks Out! (Who is She? + Why Did She Write Him?)

    Sep, 16 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Jessica Germaine

    Jessica Germaine, the woman who Apollo Nida requested money from in a letter from prison, is speaking out and wants her ‘5 minutes’!

    It was only about a week ago that Apollo Nida, the jailed spouse of The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Phaedra Parks, was in the news again after his female ‘pen-pal’ attempted to put him on blast.

    If you missed that, a woman sent Nida a book to read and he responded, asking her to send him money.? She then responded to him that she’d rather put money into her daughter’s savings and he responded that he would pray for her a ‘financial windfall’… I’m paraphrasing but you get the drift.

    [READ: The Thirst! Apollo Nida Collecting Pen-Pals & Payments in Prison… (PHOTOS)]

    Whatever the case, Jessica Germaine, recently contacted me and wants to set the record straight about the situation.

    Apparently y’all made Jessica feel ‘some kinda way’ in your online comments about her decision to write Apollo in the first and she feels the need to respond to all the backlash.? Germaine states in her long response that she is not ‘thirsty’ or out to gain attention. She even claims that she never watched a single episode RHOA and was not a fan of Apollo Nida’s.phaedra parks

    Germaine claims her intentions were pure but since she’s got your attention, she’s got some things to say. (It’s a very long read, but that’s what the internet is for… right?)

    #RHOA Season 8 Casting: Who Is Shamea Morton? Friend or New ‘Housewife’? [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 14 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Porsha Williams Shamea Morton 2

    How many Atlanta ‘housewives’ are too many?? That question remains to be answered as the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta tape the 8th season of the popular reality show.

    Shamea Morton Kandi and Todd TuckerWith the departure of their anchor, Nene Leakes, it seems producers of the show have been actively recruiting and even brought back veteran ‘housewife’ Sheree Whitfield.

    As you know actress Kim Fields is also on the roster (not sure if she’s on the trip tho) and while Marlo Hampton was spotted filming once or twice, she apparently wasn’t invited on the annual girl’s trip (which is a tell-tell sign that she’s probably not a solid cast member).

    Porsha Wiliams seems to have gained a bit of leverage this season and may have secured her peach. She’s also brought along a new ‘friend,’ Shamea Morton, a former cheerleader for both the Atlanta Falcons & Atlanta Hawks, who made a startling appearance during Williams’s live video from their ‘girl’s trip’ yesterday.

        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?
