    Reality Show Alert! ‘Rickey Smiley For Real’ Coming Soon to TVOne…

    Sep, 18 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Rickey Smiley SFTA

    It’s official! Comedian/radio personality Rickey Smiley has landed his own reality show.

    Smiley tried his hand at a scripted series based on his life a while back (click HERE if you missed that) but it didn’t do too well, and now he and Roger Bobb are trying again… this time without a ‘script’.

    TV One recently announced that Smiley’s show is in production and the hour-long show featuring the syndicated morning show host and stand-up comedian will be titled “Rickey Smiley For Real.”

    The new reality show will reportedly follow Smiley as he navigates the “ups” and “downs” of professional demands, single fatherhood, and intimate relationships.

    Shooting in Atlanta, Georgia, where he resides during the week, and in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, where he raises his family, Smiley’s struggle to find work-life balance while trying to maintain a love life will be a central focus of the series.

    [Sidebar: Pretty soon there will be no one in Atlanta without a reality show! *sigh*]

    Things seem to be on and popping for the 8th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta as the ladies all posed for a group shot during their annual girl’s trip last weekend.

    Cast regulars Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, and Porsha Williams all pose in the photo above alongside season 8 ‘newbies’ ?Sheree Whitfield,?Kim Fields, Shamea Morton and a woman many have identified as ‘Tammy’.

    [READ: #RHOA Season 8 Cast: Who Is Shamea Morton? ‘Housewife’ or Friend? (PHOTOS)]

    I’m assuming a very pregnant Kandi Burruss snapped the photo because she was definitely on the group trip as well, and adding Kandi to the ladies shown above brings the total to a whopping NINE cast members for season 8!

    T.I. Speaks On Parting Ways w/ Iggy Azalea + Why ‘ATL 2’ Movie Project Stalled… [VIDEO]

    Sep, 17 2015 | Written by ATLien

    TI 1
    Clifford ‘T.I.’ Harris recently appeared on Ebro in the Morning on NYC’s Hot 97 where he discussed several topics, one of which was his decision to part ways with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.

    T.I. Interview 6The Grand Hustle front man admits there are no hard feelings, but their biz relationship is officially over. When asked what the breaking point was in his decision, Tip noted Iggy’s infamous response to Q-Tip as the turning point (click HERE if you missed that).

    “After the Q-Tip thing, after I kind of had smoothed it over, like okay, ‘What is really meant to be said here is…’ After it was cool, everything was cool, and then they kind of came back and undid what I had just [accomplished].

    I’ma be all the way real: I’m a loyal partner. If I rock with you I’m gon’ rock with you…I really do feel that they just needed a little more time to adjust, which I feel they can do. They have the talent, they have the charisma.”

    Meanwhile, Tip is back on his grind and he also discussed why ATL2 has stalled + his newly release EP, ‘The Nic,’ which was released September 11, 2015.

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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. 👽🛸
