SHOCKER! NeNe & Gregg Leakes Boo’d Up at RHOA Premiere Party… [PHOTOS]

Nov, 7 2011 | Written by ATLien

NeNe Leakes and her hubby Gregg were spotted boo’d up last night at the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 4 premiere party, which was held at Bar One Lounge in Atlanta (Peter Thomas‘ new restaurant venture)

It’s not like this should be a surprise to anyone who reads StraightFromTheA.com on the regular. I was the one who clued you guys in on the couple’s shinanigans way back in July, when I saw them boo’d up at the Essence Festival (and yeah MediaFakeOut claimed it was their exclusive after they stole my pics and cropped out my watermark… but I digress.)

NeNe toned down her “Extra” concealer for the evening and pretended that Gregg was just an interested party-goer… chilling throughout the evening with hosts Cynthia Bailey and Carlton Morton, as well as BFF’s Diana Gowins and wannabe “housewife” Marlo Hampton.

The gangs all there! Two housewives and two ~~flunkies~~ possibles…

[Sidebar: I wonder why Diana won’t just bite the bullet and sign up… it’s not like her background ain’t drama filled too!]

Spotted in the crowd of spectators were Robert Townsand, RL (of next), ~~Cole from Martin~~ Actor Carl Payne, and of course celebrity hairstylist Derek J stopped through in all his head-wrapped FABU-LOUS-NESS!

Kenan Thompson Gets “Freaky With Cee-Lo Green” on SNL… [VIDEO]

Nov, 7 2011 | Written by ATLien

Comedian Kenan Thompson, who also happens to be an Atlanta native, portrayed a fellow ATLien during last weekend’s Saturday Night Live.

Dressed in feathers, funky glasses & a shimmering cape with a bottle of ‘freaky moscato’ close by, the actor spoofed the artist known as CeeLo Green in a skit called “Gettin’ Freaky With CeeLo”…

During the “show,” Kenan (as Ceelo) offers advice to a married couple with sex issues, stating:

?Attractiveness is about confidence. It?s about attitude. There was a time when people didn?t think I was attractive.

Thompson also briefly touches on Ceelo and his “freaky fixation” with groupies, as he references making love to ‘a pile of ladies’.

Not many hip-hoppers are honored with SNL spoofs, and while Thompson resembles Jazze Pha way more than Ceelo… it’s still worth a watch.

Young Jeezy Hosts NYC Listening Session For TM103: Hustlaz Ambition + Official Tracklist [PHOTOS]

Nov, 7 2011 | Written by ATLien

Jay Jenkins aka Young Jeezy rocked ‘all black everything’ as he played host to a slew of music executives at Quad Studios in Manhattan, Thursday November 3, 2011.

Jeezy’s much delayed TM103: Hustlaz Ambition, will reportedly be released December 20th (of 2011?) and he gave a small group, which included Kevin Liles, Shaheim Reed, Irv Gotti & more, an earful of his updated tracks.

“It took a little time, but more on that later.” He laughed, everyone laughed, though it wasn’t really a joke. “It’s been a long time coming.”

The album, which was once reported to be delayed INDEFINITELY, is Jeezy’s fourth album but the third in the “Thug Motivation (TM)” series.

It’s lead single, “Lose My Mind,” featuring Plies, hit the streets well over a year ago and to date, three other songs have been released to radio.

None of the previously released tracks made the official tracklisting.

When asked what happened to “Shake Life,” Jeezy shrugged, and said “It’s just one of those things, man.”

More importantly that the exclusions, are the INCLUSIONS of several features on Jeezy’s long awaited release, which include Jill Scott, Snoop Dogg, Ne-Yo, Jay-Z and ANDRE’ 3000.

Quick Flix: Kandi Burruss Hosts “Game Night” at TAGS Boutique… [PHOTOS]

Nov, 6 2011 | Written by ATLien

Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta played host to a slew of “players” recently for game night.

The event was held at TAGS, Kandi’s Smyrna clothing boutique and guests were treated to finger food and fun as the songstress and friends like Rasheeda, producer Don Vito, and several of her Twitter followers, separated into groups to play card games like spades and tonk.

As you know, Kandi has been utilizing her entrepreneurial prowess in several ways, including starting her own line of sex toys, and this event was no different.

While I can’t spill the TEA on Kandi’s new venture (yet), you can best bet that she’s adding yet another money making opportunity to her vast financial portfolio.

Stay tuned!
