Kandi Burruss & Congressman John Lewis Walk Dr. Ian’s Makeover Mile in Atlanta… [PHOTOS]

Apr, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

While I was napping at the beach last weekend, Dr. Ian Smith and his crew converged on Atlanta to promote healthy living and weight management.? Thankfully my girl Joi held it down for the A-Team and got some great photos!

Dr. Ian enlisted the help of RHOA’s Kandi Burruss and Congressman John Lewis as they walked the “Makeover Mile” along with several health conscious Atlanta area residents.

The event kicked off the CVS ?To Your Health? program in Atlanta with a one mile health walk that ran from Fair Street near the AU Center to CVS on Joseph Lowery in West End.

More than 1000 Atlanta residents came out in an effort to fight obesity, walking toward a healthier lifestyle.

Meet the Browns: Monica & Shannon Brown + Monica & Chris Brown… [PHOTOS]

Apr, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

Monica shared a few photos last night of she and her boo, Shannon Brown (after last night’s Lakers game), as well as one of her and Chris Brown in the studio.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I swear Shannon Brown and Chris Brown look like brothers…. are they related? 😕

Immediately after helping his team break their 5-game losing streak in a 102-93 win over the San Antonio Spurs, Shannon jetted off for their next game against Sacramento. Mo then hit the studio where she’s working on a new song with Polow Da Don and Chris Brown…

As you know, Chris Brown is in the news again after his BFF Teyana Taylor allegedly beatdown a chick for talking bad about him (click HERE for those juicy details).

Neither Chris nor Teyana has commented about the incident, and authorities are reportedly still seeking to question Teyana (who fled the scene and has been no where to be found).

But I digress..

Don’t Brown’s make an adorable family! Check out Lil Rocko reppin’ for his step daddy…

What a cutie! Rocko will be breaking hearts soon…

We miss seeing Mo around town but she’s currently living the life as a bona fide basketball wife. I ain’t mad at all!

Ciara Lands On People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful” List for 2011… *UPDATED*

Apr, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

Ciara was spotted at the Sydney Supafest Music Festival at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia last weekend (April 9, 2011) where she performed a few of her classics.

Ciara may catch a ton of flack but she’s obtained a prime position ~~as the only African-American woman to make~~ People Magazine’s 2011 “Most Beautiful” list!

When Kim Kardashian’s BFF isn’t charting hits like “Love Sex Magic” (featuring Justin Timberlake) and “Ride” (featuring Ludacris), she’s modeling for Wilhemina. But her approach to beauty is surprisingly simple: “Being beautiful is all in the attitude,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s about confidence.” (source)

CiCi landed at the #23 spot…. and she didn’t even have to show her “Goodies”! Take notes Keri…

Click HERE for the full list.

*Update 4/13/11 5:25pm* : One of my loyal readers was kind enough to correct me. Ciara is NOT the only African-American woman on the list…

FYI – Ciara is not the only African American….

Sneak Peek of the list shows Jennifer Hudson as well. The full list is not on the site.

Signed,

Faithful Reader

Thank’s for the clarification! 🙂

Trading Places: Is Usher Raymond’s New Boo Just Another “Tameka”?

Apr, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

Usher Raymond was spotted out and about on the streets of NYC recently with his current boo, Grace Miguel.

The multi-talented singer apparently has a habit of falling for older women and letting them affect his business decisions.

When he chose to marry Tameka Foster Glover Raymond, she put her foot down and fired his entire staff, including his mom/manager Jonetta Patton, who he subsequently rehired after realizing his mistake.

Well now it looks like history is repeating itself for poor Ursh.

Word on the curb is that his current lady love, 43-year-old former Def Jam executive, Grace Miguel has filled Meka’s shoes quite nicely. Grace, who reportedly acts as Usher’s co-manager and stylist, has urged the R&B superstar to cut his entire team and replace them with her people of her choosing!

Controversial J. Crew Ad Features Young Boy in Neon Pink Polish… [PHOTOS]

Apr, 12 2011 | Written by ATLien

J.Crew is known for its tasteful and modest clothing, with the likes of first lady Michelle Obama frequently rocking their brand as well as other budgeted items like H&M and The Gap.

The clean, wholesome image of the successful clothier is now being questioned after they dipped into transgendered identity politics. J. Crew is now facing a slew of controversy over a recent magazine ad featuring a young boy wearing pink toenail polish.

The image is strangely reminiscent of little Dyson, the 5-year old boy who wore princess clothes…

The controversial clothing company ad shows one of their top designers painting her young son?s toenails neon pink and it has some parents and doctors seeing red.
