    Flashback Friday ~ “Don’t Take It Personal” ~ Monica

    Jan, 16 2009 | Written by ATLien

    I had to disappear for a minute yesterday and caught a ton of flack from a few folks but it’s OK. My girl Monica’s song “Don’t Take It Personal” made me put everything in perspective. This old school joint came on the A-pod while I was on my mini road trip and I promise you…I had to hit repeat about 3 times! Like for real…sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do…Don’t take that sh*t so personal! and speaking of personal. Some larger than life bloggers are really *cough*? feeling themselves these days! They take and take without giving credit, then whine about not being acknowledged as a source. I just want to put it out there that there are several blogs that I personally read on a regular basis….and yours is NOT one of em. It ain’t that serious. Get over yourself…

    Video ~ T.I.’s Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go Preview

    Jan, 15 2009 | Written by zillz

    TI has a new show and it looks promising. I’ve always thought that we all should take some time and mentor somebody who needs it. Not necessarily have a reality show to film it, but TI sets a good example here for the masses.

    As he begins counting down the days to his impending March 2009 sentencing for weapons charges, Grammy-winning superstar T.I. finds himself at a remarkable crossroads. At the very apex of his career, he?s facing up to 30 years of jail time for an arrest stemming from his earlier life. However, as part of a deal worked out between his lawyers and the federal government, if he completes an amazing 1000 hours of community service during the year ending this March, that sentence may be reduced. At 27, finding himself at the very high- and low-point of his adult life, he?s seeking redemption in helping others avoid the mistakes he made. In the new docu-series ?T.I.?s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go? cameras follow T.I.?s efforts to save himself by saving others. ?T.I.?s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go? is a moving title. Each week, the title will change to reflect the amount of time left to his sentencing. The final episode will air shortly after T.I.?s fate is revealed. In order to communicate his message, he has to give each teenager a tough love lesson in life and show them the consequences of what could happen if they continue down the wrong path.

    T.I.?s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go? will premiere on Tuesday, February 10 at 9:00PM (ET/PT). Subsequent episodes will air in the show?s regular timeslot at 9:30pm (ET/PT).

    Oprah’s Cracky Tales ~ O’s Ex Writes Tell-All Book Claiming Drug Use

    Jan, 15 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Ok…somebody shoot me now! Oprah Winfrey, known for being frank and open about her personal relationships and bad choices in men back in the day has been outed for using Crack cocaine.? “Outed” may be a poor choice of words though since the television diva has confessed on many occasions to using drugs but she’s never revealed what her drug of choice was.

    From a 1995 episode of her show, Oprah revealed:

    ?In my 20?s, I?d done this drug and I know exactly what you are talking about.? She said the drug use occurred while she was an anchorwoman on a television news show.

    ?It?s my life?s great big secret. It was such a secret because?I realize (with) the public person I have become?if the story ever were revealed, the tabloids would exploit it and what a big issue it would be.?

    She went on to explain, ?But I was involved with a man in my 20s who introduced me to the same drug that you?ve been talking about and, like Patrice, I always felt that the drug itself is not the problem but that I was addicted to the man.? She admitted: ?I can?t think of anything I wouldn?t have done for that man.?

    O’s Crack partner and toxic love interest Randolph Cook, has decided to write a book about their relationship and accuses Oprah of introducing HIM to cocaine.

    “We smoked at least a couple of times a week. Sometimes we would smoke up until her limo was waiting to take her to the studio to perform her show??

    Video Message from “Notorious” Producers

    Jan, 15 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Notorious is in theatres TOMORROW…January 16th and the producers are asking you guys to support the film. So instead of buying that copy from the beauty shop on Saturday, GO TO THE THEATER to see this film. I saw it myself Monday night and I can personally vouch that this film is definitely worth paying for. <—and I am NOT being paid to say this ish either!

    OH…and as an added incentive, if you purchase 4 or more tickets in advance you’ll receive an “official” NOTORIOUS t-shirt and iPhone skin (**While Supplies Last)? Go to www.fandango.com/notorious now to purchase your advance tickets.? And would one of you please send me the iPhone skin…OK?

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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?
