  • New Doo Alert! Fantasia at New Orleans Jazz Festival [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    May, 2 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Fantasia Barrino hit up Beyonce’s wig crypt recently, rocking a new look for her performance at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 30, 2011.

    Tasia’s new “Black & Yella” doo, as well as her always energetic stage presence, made her the talk of NOLA this weekend as she entertained the crowd:

    ?We didn?t come here just to be looking, we came to party.? yells Tasia to the excited crowd.

    ?So ladies, if your shoes” hurt, take ?em off. Don?t worry” worry about your hair. You can get your hair done tomorrow.?

    Fantasia took it on home Saturday evening as she shed a few tears with the crowd and even had them all singing along to the the “Baby Mama” theme song.

    Quick Flix: Fantasia’s Feet Get Crunk & Disorderly…

    Apr, 11 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Fantasia Barrino performed at The Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana on Friday rocking her summer weave a few months early.

    As you know, Tasia recently packed on a few pounds to portray Mahalia Jackson in an upcoming biopic and apparently her feet are feelin it!

    According to TheFreshOne:

    Keep your eyes on Tasia Mae?s prize! While desperate housewives are falling over themselves trying to keep their husbands away from Evelyn Lozada?s self service pump Fantasia has emerged from Keri Hilson?s yaki recycling bin victorious and barefoot.

    Rumor Control: Fantasia’s Not Pregnant, She’s Just Getting Fat for a Role…

    Feb, 9 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Yesterday I posted pictures of Fantasia Barrino looking a lil thicker than normal and speculated that she may have a bun in the oven…

    [READ: Baby Bump Alert? Fantasia Barrino is Kinda Thick in the Waist.. ~ PHOTOS]

    When asked about her recent weight gain, Tasia’s manager stated:

    Fantasia is 100% not pregnant. The only thing she’s pregnant with is prosperity.

    In fact, she’s just signed on to play the lead in Mahalia and has been told to gain 30 to 45 pounds for the role.

    Tasia’s signed on to portray New Orleans-born gospel queen Mahalia Jackson in a big screen biopic. Mahalia was often referred to as the “The Queen of Gospel” and was one of the most influential gospel singers in the world and Fantasia’s a perfect choice to fill her shoes.

    The project, and Barrino’s casting, was announced?late yesterday (Feb. 8th).

    The new role comes at a perfect time, considering all the negativity associated with Fantasia and her married boyfriend, Antwuan Cook.

    Her association with Cook sparked a bitter battle between her and his ex-wife Paula. Barrino tried to escape the drama with a suicide attempt and luckily for us, she failed.

    The 26-year-old singer did, however win the court battle when a judge ruled that Cook had been separated from his wife prior to stepping out with Barrino…. and the rest is history.

    Hopefully all that drama is behind her and this new role will bring Fantasia some much needed positive energy.

    Fantasia & Her Married Boyfriend’s Secret Emails Revealed…

    Jan, 18 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Fantasia Barrino has some ‘splainin to do!

    Tasia was wrapped up in drama when she was named in her married boyfriend, Antwuan Cook’s divorce proceeding as the catalyst to the breakup of his marriage.

    Antwaun’s wife Paula Cook was reportedly seeking to file a civil lawsuit against Fantasia earlier this year claiming that Fantasia destroyed her marriage and even threatened to release a sex tape that she claims was made by her husband and Tasia.

    [READ: Fantasia?s Married Boyfriend?s Wife Seeks $100,000 Settlement]

    Tasia subsequently scored a “win” in the hearing against his wife, Paula Cook, when a NC judge ruled in favor of Antwaun; finding that the pair?s separation date was September 14, 2009 ? not June, 2010, as Paula had claimed.

    Apparently all is NOT what it seems and as if all the mess above wasn’t enough…? Fantasia did know that Antwaun was still living with his wife when they started dating and someone has leaked their email exchange to prove it! Continue Reading…

    Fantasia Scores a “Win” in Married Boyfriend Drama…

    Dec, 24 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Fantasia Barrino’s affair with Antwuan Cook almost cost her major dough but it’s looking like she may come out on top.

    Paula Cook, the estranged wife of Fantasia’s married boyfriend, named Tasia in their divorce suit as the catalyst to their break-up.

    [READ: Fantasia Married Boyfriend’s Wife Seeks Revenge! – COURT DOCUMENTS]

    RadarOnline is reporting that a NC judge ruled in favor of Antwaun Cook in his divorce proceeding against ex-wife Paula, finding that the pair?s separation date was September 14, 2009 — not June, 2010, as Paula had claimed.

    Fantasia took the witness stand in the case last month, where she admitted to having an abortion with Antwaun?s child.

    ?Did you tell Mr. Cook you aborted his child?” the singer was asked on November 22.

    “I did, yeah,? Fantasia responded.

    The former American Idol winner was then asked when she aborted the baby, to which she admitted: ?It hasn’t been too long ago.?

    Paula had claimed Fantasia knew Antwaun was married and went ahead with their relationship anyway ? thus the court hearings to uncover the truth.

    There?s no word yet on what effect the court decision will have on Paula?s plan to sue the singer under North Carolina?s unique Alienation of Affection law. Fantasia and Paula had been mediating behind closed doors discussing a possible settlement but with this recent ruling, Fantasia may be able to save a boatload of cash.

    She better thank her lucky stars…

        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?
