  • Jennifer Hudson & StraightFromTheA on DatelineNBC [VIDEO]

    Jan, 9 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Jennifer Hudson was spotted in New York this morning as she visited the Today Show (January 9, 2012).

    Hudson is making the rounds promoting her new book, “I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down” and says the negative feedback she received about her weight loss came as a surprise:

    “Inside, you’re still the same, but the rest of the world does not see you that way,” she said. “Everything is not all good.”

    Jennifer also appeared on Dateline NBC last night where she spoke about the backlash she’s received since losing the weight… and my post “Does it really matter if J-Hud Had Weight Loss Surgery” was actually shown on the show!

    StraightFromTheA made Dateline!! *Faints*

    In addition to her book and her weight loss issues, Hudson speaks about her marital plans and coping with the loss of her family.

    Jennifer Hudson Turned Down “Precious” Role + Battles Her Former Self in New Weight Watchers Commercial ~ [VIDEO]

    Dec, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Jennifer Hudson’s newest Weight Watcher’s commercial features her big and small self singing a duet of “I Believe in You & Me”.? The new ad spot aired during the X Factor finale last week.

    As you know, J-Hud has shed at least 80lbs since signing on with the popular diet company and dropped from a size 22 to a size 0, a feat some feel was reached with surgical assistance in addition to her eating habits.

    [READ: Does it Really Matter if Jennifer Hudson Had Weight Loss Surgery?]

    Jennifer has moved past the drama and even launched her very own Weight Watchers Diet Center in her hometown of Chicago and she appears to be getting smaller by the minute.

    She has wrote of her diet struggles in a new book, entitled, I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down, where she reveals she turned down the title role in the movie Precious because she didn’t want to be typecast as just another “fat” actress.

    A Peek Inside Jennifer Hudson’s Dream Home… [PHOTOS]

    Dec, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Jennifer Hudson was serving all kinds of face a few weeks ago as she attended the Swarovski Elements And Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Ceremony in Beverly Hills, California.

    J-hud, who recently shot a spread for Vanity Fair magazine, is rumored to have placed a contract on a huge home in her hometown of Chicago.

    Reunited? Jennifer Hudson & David Otunga Do Lunch + Punk’s WWE Commercial [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Dec, 9 2011 | Written by ATLien

    It’s a rare occurrence to see Jennifer Hudson and her on-again/off-again fiance’ David “Punk” Otunga out and about together, and it’s been a little over a month since rumors swirled about Jenn calling off their engagement.

    The pair were spotted strolling through the streets of Beverly Hills, California yesterday (December 8, 2011) with their 2 year old son, David Jr. in tow.

    Jenn and her booski appeared cordial enough as they shared a bit of family time after Jenn’s recent Vanity Fair photo shoot. And while the miserable facial expressions may throw you off a bit, look closely in the first photo… you’ll notice that Jenn is still sporting her engagement ring.

    That being said, it may be safe to assume that rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated (either that… or Punk decided to go ahead and sign the pre-nup).

        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?
