    Beyonce (Kinda) Addresses Fake Baby Bump Rumors + Starts Maternity Clothing Line… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Oct, 12 2011 | Written by ATLien

    The world is still reeling about Beyonce’s baby bump deflating on LIVE television when she appeared on Sunday Night HD.

    The unfortunate incident added fuel to rumors that Beyonce has been wearing a prosthetic baby bump to make her look further along in her pregnancy that she actually is, a rumor denies, even after the seemingly indisputable video evidence.

    [READ: BUSTED?!? Beyonce’s Baby Bump Collapses on LIVE TV ~ VIDEO]

    According to Starcasm, a spokesman for the mommy to-be talked with ABC News yesterday and called the rumors ?stupid, ridiculous and false.?

    [Sidebar: Are the rumors ?stupid, ridiculous, and false? or is it Beyonce?s baby bump that’s “stupid, ridiculous and false”? Hmmmm…]

    Why on earth would Beyonce rock a fake baby bump you ask?? Well many suspect that Bey doesn’t want to ruin her figure carrying her own child, so she and husband Jay-Z have hired a surrogate to do it for her.

    But wait…? while the surrogate rumor may be a bit overboard, some have speculated that Bey & Jay’s love of attention and money is the root of it all. Debating that perhaps Bey wants to be seen as bigger than she actually is so that she can make money from her pregnancy.

    Welp…? that may not be too far fetched. In a recent interview in Harper’s Bazaar Beyonce reveals her plans to launch a maternity clothing line….? Continue Reading…

    Hot or Not? Rihanna Goes BLONDE for British Vogue + She’s No Role Model… [PHOTOS]

    Oct, 4 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Rihanna channels her inner Marilyn Monroe for the cover of Vogue U.K’s October 2011 edition.

    In the issue, Rih Rih reveals that the wigs, the hair color changes, the wild antics in videos [like her topless romp during her “We Found Love” video shoot that it angered an Irish farmer]? is just all an act she puts on for her fans.

    “That’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with,” she tells the magazine.

    “See, people … they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me, and [being a role model] became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it.”

    Drake Reveals “Take Care” Album Cover + Sends Message to Fans…

    Sep, 24 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Aubrey “Drake” Graham hit up his blog recently to reveal the artwork for his upcoming album “Take Care”.

    Take special note of the intricate artwork and gold table embellishments… there’s a lil touch of Kanye in almost every detail.? Oh… and the gold owl signifies OVO (October’s Very Own) ~ all of Drake’s homies born in the month of October.

    Oh you fancy huh… Drake?

    Drizzy also takes a moment to send his fans a very heartwarming message about the anticipated release date of the album:

    Feels like it’s been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us?

    Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24…I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

    See you soon.

    Drake

    That dayum Drake is just so sensitive…. *swoon*

    What do you think of Drake’s “Take Care” cover?

    Remember When? Ciara & Bow Wow…

    Sep, 11 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Remember when Ciara and Bow Wow were our picture perfect Jay-Z and Beyonce? No? Well let me refresh your memory.

    Way before Bow Wow was a baby daddy (and several years before Ciara perfected her matrix move), they were once one of the hottest hip-hop couples around.

    The cute couple made music together, did shows together, and appeared on several magazine covers. They even made Ebony magazine’s “10 Hottest couples” list in 20006…

    My how time flies! How does a love so right go so wrong?? *sigh*

    Hold up… wait! Are any of those couples on Ebony’s 2006 list still together?? Jermaine & Janet? Kirk & Tammy Franklin? LisaRaye & Micheal Misik?? [Dang! that’s a whole ‘nother post!]

    Join me for a walk down puppy love memory lane in viewing CiCi & BowWow’s boo’d up photo collection below: 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. 👽🛸

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?
