  • The “A” List ~ Favorite Things…What to Get the Person Who “Has Everything”

    Dec, 21 2007 | Written by ATLien

    Only three and a half shopping days left until Christmas! On that note, I’d like to share a few gift ideas for those hard to shop for people (like myself *wink*) and most are under even $50 bucks…Cheapskate!

    c2Clapper Plus w/ Remote Control and Sound Activation – I don’t think I’m lazy enough for the Clapper, but the Clapper II is one of my favorites!? Just think, you have a little remote to turn your lamps on and off….how cool is that! It also can be programmed to turn devices on when ANY SOUND is heard…perfect as a theft deterrent when you are not at home.

    broomvac1 Dirt Devil Rechargeable Broom Vac– This cute little vacuum cleaning broom thingy looks like it would be great for hardwood floors and it’s so cute!? It comes in several colors (red is my favorite) and could be the perfect little cleaning companion….Did I mention how cute this thing is….LOL!

    ag1American Gangster – The Complete First Season?- Y’all know how much I love Gangsters!!? AMERICAN GANGSTER is BET?s critically acclaimed, highly rated crime docu-series that explores the historical, socio-economic and political context surrounding the rise and fall of 9 notorious African-American criminal minds. These are not just your two-bit hustlers?One modeled his organization after the management structure of General Motors. Another studied gemology to be well versed and blend in among an elite audience of jewelers and high end collectors. Another was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature for children?s books before he was eventually executed. What was the catalyst for their life of crime? How does their story begin and end? This groundbreaking series digs deeper to answer these and other poignant questions.

    case1

    ?Nope….don’t need an iPhone…but I DO need a CASE!? iPhone Hard Crystal Plastic Case for Apple iPhone is cute AND it comes in 6 different colors (Pink, Clear, Blue, Black, Purple and Green)!? I need one in every color….I like to CO-ORdinate!

    And last but not least….”Hey Love” ~ the classic sounds of sexy soul collection (only available through some 800 number that doesn’t exist anymore!).? 3 Albums or 2 Cassettes for only 19.99!

    Remember….this limited offer?is not available in any store!

    Noooo My Brother….you gotta buy yo own!!!

    BREAKING NEWS ~ Atlanta Mayor’s Daughter Pleads Guilty to Drug Charges

    Dec, 17 2007 | Written by ATLien

    kfranklin

    Kai Franklin Graham, the daughter of Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, pleaded guilty today to federal charges that she illegally concealed proceeds from her former husband’s transcontinental drug-trafficking ring.

    tgraham

    Her former husband, Tremayne Graham, who had ties to the Black Mafia Family (BMF) was convicted of several drug charges and sentenced to life in prison in April 2007.?? The charges against Kai Franklin stem from the fact that while?her husband?was a fugitive, she converted cash from him into 14 postal money orders totaling $14,000. She admitted going to seven Atlanta area post offices in a single day to avoid federal financial rules that would require reports of transactions exceeding $2,000.

    Franklin Graham is likely to be sentenced to three months of home confinement and three years of probation. However, if she fails to comply with terms of her plea agreement with federal prosecutors, U.S. District Judge Henry M. Herlong Jr. could increase the sentence to as much as five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. (Source – AJC)

    Three MONTHS!!? Membership definately has it’s priviledges!? I mean….Michael Vick just got 23 MONTHS and she only gets THREE!!!? WOW…..I have no words…

    Myra Panache of “The Panache Report” has detailed most of the story HERE.

        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.

👇🏾 Let’s talk in the comments.

        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?
