Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

Kim Zolciak hasn’t been seen on the scene much these days. In fact, she’s been intentionally keeping her baby belly under wraps. That’s because Zolciak, ever the opportunist, has sold the exclusive rights to her belly baring images to Life & Style magazine.

Kim covers this month’s issue of the mag and opens up about her belly, her man (25 year old Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann) and the possibility of another baby in their future!

“I’ll be 33 when I have this baby, and I’m more in touch with my body now,” Kim tells Life & Style. The reality star, who already has two daughters, Brielle, 13, and Ariana, 9, from a previous marriage, says she’s gained about 20 pounds so far.

Only 20lbs? That’s great! Hopefully Kim has finally given up smoking, but word on the curb is that she’s still puffin’ every now and then.

Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

Lupe Fiasco was back in Atlanta this week to premiere his “Lasers” CD, which hits stores officially March 8th.

During a private listening session at The Sound Table lounge, Lupe treated a few select ears to an early listening session for his project.

I first sat down with Lupe last November, just as his single, “The Show Goes On” was generating buzz [Sidebar: it has since went GOLD… selling over 500k copies!].

At that time, Lupe was putting the finishing touches on “Lasers,” (his 3rd studio album), and he was excited about it’s upcoming release.

Spotted at the private listening session were: Grand Hustle CEO Jason Geter, Mike Bigga (aka Killer Mike), DJ Trauma and a host supporters and friends.? [Special thanks to Warner for the invite!]

Check out photos from Lupe Fiasco’s “Lasers” listening session PLUS listen to another new single from “Lasers” entitled, “All Black Everything”: Continue Reading…

Usher Raymond + David Beckham = Way Too Much Sexy in One Room! [PHOTOS]

Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

Usher Raymond performed at the 02 Arena in London last weekend (February 18, 2011) and was greeted by David Beckham backstage.

Rumor has it that David and Victoria’s three sons are huge Usher fans and love to mimic Usher’s smooth moves.? The boys each got a chance to show him their dancing skills backstage at the London concert.

“As soon as they saw Usher they ran up, hugged him, then broke off to show him all the dance moves he taught them the last time they met.

The kids were so excited to be break dancing for Usher,” said a source close to the Beckham family.

The ”OMG” hitmaker earlier revealed that David wanted him to give dancing lessons to the couple”s three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz.

Usher was particularly impressed by the youngest child”s skills and admitted he would love to invite Cruz on tour one day in the future.

“Little Cruz is amazing. He can do breakdancing and head spins on the ground. He”s a little too young to come on stage with me, but one day he”ll be fantastic,” said Usher.

In addition to his concert, Usher also launched the London leg of his New Look Foundation, aimed at mentoring disadvantaged youths at The Brunswick Club on February 19, 2011.

One on One With Wiz Khalifa + New Music: “Roll Up” ~ [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

Feb, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

Wiz Khalifa hit up StraightFromTheA yesterday as one of his many stops to promote his upcoming album “Rolling Papers.”

Not only does the “Black & Yellow” MC have the hottest song on repeat from coast to coast, but he has officially hit the blogs running over the past few months. Khalifa’s hot single has been dubbed the #1 song in the country, but only after he gained his mandatory hip-hop mugshot after getting busted with a bus load of weed back in November.

All press is good press right? And to add fuel to his already burning flame, Wiz has been linked to hip-hop’s most notorious arm piece, Amber Rose.?

Photos of the couple have been making the blog rounds all week courtesy of a recent feature in Fader Magazine and a bitter tweet from Amber’s ex… Kanye West.

A number #1 song, several hot mixtapes, a movie on deck, a hot broad and a highly anticipated major label debut should give anyone the “big head” but Wiz Khalifa is surprisingly level headed and calm in the midst of all his rising fame.

Check out my one on one with the rising star below, as we chat about music, love & blogs: Continue Reading…

Justin Bieber’s New Haircut Cost Him 80,000 Twitter Followers… [PHOTOS]

Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

If you listen carefully, you might the words “Oh Em Geeee! Justin Bieber got a haircut! F*ck my life!” from the collective voices of all the pre-teen girls (and boys) who are obsessed with Justin Bieber’s hair.

Word on the curb is that when Biebs tweeted the news of his new ?doo, 80,000 little girls collectively slammed their computers, changed their Bieber nail color, and, after calming down and thinking rationally, decided the best thing to do was to just un-follow him on Twitter.

The number is still unconfirmed, but I wouldn?t be surprised if it was more like a milli.? Hair and cool clothes are the things most teens base their musical tastes on. Sorry, it is what it is.

In related news, Justin is getting his own Madame Tussauds’ wax figure in New York, London and Amsterdam.

?To be immortalized in wax alongside some of my idols — Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce and my mentor, Usher — is incredibly exciting and very cool.” ~? Justin Bieber

By the way… the wax figure will feature Justin’s old haircut.

In the meantime, we can reminiscence over Justin’s longer locks in pics of he and Rihanna from the 2011 NBA All-Star game below: Continue Reading…

Reality Show Alert! “Tha Life” aka The Real GAYS of Atlanta… [VIDEO]

Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

Meet the men of “Tha Life,” an Atlanta reality show that focuses on the lives of 6 gay men. [Sidebar: I had to crop out two to make that picture fit.] I got this in my email the other day and I don’t know how y’all kept this from me all this time!

As an avid fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and an Atlanta resident, I can fully appreciate this new concept of following the lives of these fabulous men. I was originally hoping Dwight Eubanks, Lawrence Washington Miss Lawrence & Derek J would finally come together with their own spin-off of RHOA, but this one goes a step further.

There’s six gay “housewives”: Al (the “Superstar”), Donte (the “Moneymaker”), Terrence (the “Mayor of Atlanta”), Will (“Mr. Socialite”), J. Will (“Mr. Unpredictable”), and Dr. George Smith (the “New Face” of Atlanta).

I swear these old stunt queens floss harder than any RHOA cast mate ever could, driving Benz’s & Bentley’s around town while sipping on Mojitos and Cosmos all night long at the club.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but I learned a whole lot from watching this.

Get you some below: Continue Reading…
