Toni Braxton Faces Foreclosure

Oct, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

According to TMZ, Toni Braxton is facing foreclosure on her Century City, California home:

Pop diva Toni Braxton has been battling health problems for the last few years — and she might need all her strength to pack up her stuff and move … cause the bank is coming after her home.

According to documents filed last month, Braxton has defaulted on her mortgage payments — and now Bank of America is looking to foreclose. They claim she owes $12,503.20 on a place in Century City, Calif.

Toni closed down her Vegas gig a few years back — she may want to start it up again … quick.

Toni released a single early last month entitled “Yesterday” in anticipation of her comeback CD.? Pulse is scheduled for launch sometime around February 2010. Hopefully Toni can stay afloat until then….

In Case You Missed It ~ Mike Tyson on Oprah (FULL)

Oct, 12 2009 | Written by ATLien

Former heavyweight champion Iron Mike Tyson appeared on The Oprah Winfrey show today and talked about his entire life history. From his 8 month marriage to Robin Givens to his ear-biting episode with fellow fighter Evander Holyfield, Mike let it all out.? Discussing his recent documentary, “Tyson”, Oprah seemed to play it safe with the questions but eventually got Mike to shed tears after asking probing question about the accidental death of Mike’s daughter.? This was one interview I was waiting for and it didn’t leave me disappointed at all. Mike talked about wildin out with women and drugs and seemed like he’s a sincere…changed family man.?? But he’s still SCARY nonetheless…

Peep the full show below: Continue Reading…

Video ~ BET Hip-Hop Awards Red Carpet Highlights

The 2009 BET Hip-Hop Awards has come and gone and Atlanta is still surprisingly intact. The awards show went off without a hitch and new host Mike Epps kept the crowd rolling. I was prepared to do a full recap for you guys, but honestly compared to the two previous years the event was a bit lackluster.? No convicted felons were caught attempting to purchase weapons (2007), there were no last minute changes to the host (2008)…absolutely NOTHING!? The only “drama” that surrounded the event was Frankie crying on the red carpet, Gucci Mane’s “Sobriety” PSA which ran immediately after his performance of WASTED and Missy Elliott puttin Diddy on front street for still owing her cash. Everything else was status quo but you can check out all the photos HERE.

Shouts out to BET’s Lyntina Townsand for being so gracious and helpful. Awards show coverage is always exciting (and stressful) but this year the show went on without a hitch.? Great for BET but sux for us bloggers. Oh well…hopefully the Soul Train Awards will be a hot mess so we can have more to talk about.

Frankie Speaks on Being A “Cougar” + Her Emotional Red Carpet Exit

Oct, 12 2009 | Written by ATLien

I caught up with Keyshia Cole’s bio-mom Frankie Lons on the red carpet of the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards this past weekend. She was sporting a new wig, a new front grill and a new attitude as she dished the dirt on her attraction to younger men. Anyone who follows Keyshia Cole or the “Frankie & Neffe Show” is quite aware of Frankie’s young boy magnetism. Shoot… she pulls em quicker than Kim Zolciak used to pull Big Poppa’s AmEx Black card. Anyway, Frankie was quite candid in her response to my question of “How do you always keep a young sexy man on your shoulder?” In fact, she was quite profound in her explanation:

“I’m not a ‘cougar’… I’m just a damsel in distress. Really, actually men my age I can’t deal with em, cause they make me feel old. And Ladies I need to give you some game. If you get a younger man, then he’ll make you feel young. You won’t be bent over and walking slow.”

Just moments after my brief interview with Frankie, she stormed off of the red carpet. If you follow me on TWITTER, you were the first to find out that a fellow blogger asked her a question that suddenly brought tears to her eyes: Continue Reading…

In Case You Missed It ~ VH1 Behind the Music: T.I. (Full Video)

Oct, 9 2009 | Written by ATLien

In case you missed it, check out T.I. on VH1’s Behind the Music which aired last night. Tip talks about why he felt the need to stockpile weapons and even shows a bit of remorse for his actions. This is one of the best Behind the Music’s yet… (and yes I can admit I’m biased). Reliving all of Tip’s trials and tribulations via this episode really hit home to me and I’m almost positive I’m not the only ATLien who feels this way.

Break Ups: Kim Zolciak Says “Bye-Bye” to Big Poppa

Oct, 9 2009 | Written by ATLien

In the most recent epispode of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak sported a brand new “engagement” ring from her married boyfriend. As everyone silently giggled at the absurdity of Kim actually believing she was gonna marry a married man, she beamed with joy and bounced around as if it was all good. Now, since I don’t see Kim as being the smartest bird in the bunch, I can only assume that either Big Poppa’s wife got at Kim or her sugar daddy finally came to his senses. Whatever the case, Kim just revealed to Essence Magazine that the *cough* engagement is off and she now has a new boo:

I am not engaged to Big Papa! I got a commitment ring last year and so when I got this new ring, I was led to believe that his divorce was final. Who gives someone a massive rock and makes this commitment if he wasn’t serious? I found out that I was still on the same merry-go-round. If there is one thing I have discovered about myself from doing this show it is that I’m just far too trusting. I’m actually dating someone new and I’m extremely happy. He’s my age, from California and cute as a button. I gave Papa almost four years of my life, so now I’m just trying to move on.

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from that experience?

I need to learn not to take everything at face value. I believe everything that people tell me. I wanted to believe that he was going through the steps for us to be together. I’m not a home wrecker because my husband did it to me. I would never intentionally do that to someone. I was planning my future and so excited because he was the love of my life. But as time went on, I started to wonder, why is this taking so long? I realized that I needed to really sit down and figure this out.

Have you ever had any interaction with his wife? Continue Reading…
