Jan, 9 2012 | Written by ATLien

Jennifer Hudson was spotted in New York this morning as she visited the Today Show (January 9, 2012).

Hudson is making the rounds promoting her new book, “I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down” and says the negative feedback she received about her weight loss came as a surprise:

“Inside, you’re still the same, but the rest of the world does not see you that way,” she said. “Everything is not all good.”

Jennifer also appeared on Dateline NBC last night where she spoke about the backlash she’s received since losing the weight… and my post “Does it really matter if J-Hud Had Weight Loss Surgery” was actually shown on the show!

StraightFromTheA made Dateline!! *Faints*

In addition to her book and her weight loss issues, Hudson speaks about her marital plans and coping with the loss of her family.

EXCLUSIVE! The Family of Marlo Hampton’s Deceased Victim Wants You To Know…

Jan, 8 2012 | Written by ATLien

For some odd reason, people think I don’t like Marlo Hampton, the new background character on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Honestly, I’ve never met the woman but I do consider myself having a sense of discernment when it comes to shady people and every day my spidey senses tingle as more and more info (TEA) turns up about Ms. Hampton.

Here’s the TEA. Take a long sip… Continue Reading…
