“Don’t Let Me Fall” ~ B.o.B. [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Nov, 17 2010 | Written by ATLien

B.o.B.’s new video for “Don’t let me Fall” features the talented musician in several positions.

B.o.B. is shown upside down, right side up, and everything in between as he plays his guitar and sings the hook “They say what comes up must come down but don’t let me fall…”

There’s even a cameo from his mentor, rapper T.I. [Sidebar: I swear it seems like it was just yesterday that Tip proudly introduced B.o.B. to us in that private “boardroom” meeting and now he’s a certified Supa-Stah!? My how time flies.]

Young Jeezy’s “Thug Motivation: 103” Delayed… Indefinitely!

Nov, 16 2010 | Written by ATLien

I guess there will be no SNOW this winter. Not from Jeezy anyway…

Reports are coming down the pipe that Young Jeezy’s release date for his highly anticipated Thug Motivation: 103 (TM103) has moved from December 14 to Nev-uary 1st… i.e. NEVER!? This is the third change since the first due date (September 28th).

Word is… Jeezy’s singles ?All White Everything? [official video] and the Plies-assisted ?Lose My Mind? have failed to make noise on the radio airwaves, iTunes, or in even in the clubs.

Def Jam hasn’t said much but rumor has it that Jeezy’s response to former correctional officer-turned-Rapper Rick Ross? hit ?BMF? may have been a factor in the executive decision.

[LISTEN: Young Jeezy ~ “Death Before Dishonor” (Rick Ross Diss)]

Young Jeezy, who has a known affiliation with the notorious drug trafficking organization, boasted about his connections on the street remix. Jeezy squeaked past a federal investigation back in 2008, so it would seem that rapping about it wasn’t a very smart thing to do.

Oh well… I guess we have still a few Jeezy tracks on the streets to hold us down in the meantime.

Stay tuned…

Who Knew Usher’s Ex Had A “Lifetime” of Achievements?

Nov, 16 2010 | Written by ATLien

I had no idea Tameka Foster Glover Raymond was receiving awards around town! Seriously… I didn’t.

Tameka Raymond was recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Art Institute of Atlanta?s Passion for Fashion Scholarship Event for her contributions to the fashion and entrepreneur industries.

Many people do not know that Tameka attended Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and went on to work in buying offices and before she started styling for celebrities.

Tameka is now a proud owner and buyer for her two boutiques, Estella and Estella Home, located in Roswell, Georgia in addition to running her foundation Lost Ones and being a mother to her five boys.

The photographs below are of Tameka, a designer and a student at AiA and with her son Ryan.

All the best,

Eileen Arias

Maybe if I’d paid more attention to my emails and not skipped the ones with her name in the subject line, I would have posted these weeks ago. But hey… what’s the rush. I’ve got a lifetime.

Beyonce’s Mom & Dad Hold Off On Divorce…

Nov, 16 2010 | Written by ATLien

Looks like Mathew Knowles and Miss Tina may be re-thinking their divorce filing. If not… somebody’s attorney is slipping!

[READ: Beyonce’s Parents’ Headed to Divorce Court *DOCUMENTS]

According to TMZ, a hearing in the case was scheduled yesterday in Harris County, Texas, but nobody showed up, so the judge dismissed it!

It’s unclear if Tina and Mathew have reconciled … or just forgot to show up, but we’re guessing since they both were lawyered up they didn’t just forget to show … rather, they made a conscious decision to drop the divorce.

Tina filed for divorce in last November, one month after Mathew was hit with a paternity suit by Alexsandra Wright. A DNA test later proved the child was indeed Mathew’s.

Mathew and Tina were spotted together in Atlanta a last month during the the “Miss Tina” clothing line launch at Walmart, but Mathew was flying solo when he was in town last week for Sister2Sister’s 22nd Anniversary Event.

Word on the curb is that Mathew’s been bumping uglies with prophetess Juanita Bynum (who was also spotted at the S2S event) but I’m sure they’re just good friends. Especially considering the fact that Juanita is a devout christian and Mathew is still married.

I’m rooting for Beyonce’s parents. They’ve been together this long, they may as well stick it out.
