    Dec, 6 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Newly engaged couple Monica and Shannon Brown celebrated Shannon?s 25th birthday at Millions Of Milkshakes in Westfield Culver City over the weekend.

    The loving couple were joined by their all their children, which included Mo’s sons Romelo (2) and ?Lil Rocko? (5), and Brown?s son nicknamed ?Fatman?(1).

    The NBA player created his own charity milkshake called The ?Rim Reaper? and 50% of the proceeds from the sales of Shannon?s shake will go to the Shannon Brown Foundation.

    Monica may be basking in the glow of her new love but she’s also celebrating her recent Grammy nomination.

    Check out more photos of the happy couple who were also joined by internet celebrity Antoine Dodson… Continue Reading…

    Monica Speaks About Her Two Grammy Nominations… [VIDEO]

    Dec, 2 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Monica sang her heart out on “Still Standing” and her talent spoke for itself.

    The hometown singer is now up for two Grammy for awards, including Best R&B Album for “Still Standing” and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the song “Everything to Me,” from the album.

    [CLICK HERE to view full list of 2011 Grammy Nominees]

    Mo, who is newly engaged to Lakers baller Shannon Brown, said that although she was happy to be a stay at home mom, this nomination confirms she’s on the road to a comeback:

    “I wasn’t expecting anything from this album other than me to reconnect with the fans, so it was just an honor to be thought of by your peers and the Grammy Association.

    It’s just that confirmation that I needed that this is where I’m supposed to be at this point in my life, because I was very happy with being a stay-at-home mom.

    So, to come back after such a long hiatus, it’s just a good feeling, and I’m still in shock. Nothing’s really set in.”

    Monica Says She Quit Twitter Because of Stalker…

    Nov, 10 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Monica called in to Big Tigga’s radio show recently, where she spoke of her decision to quit the social networking site Twitter.

    In a lengthy discussion with the DC radio host, Mo explained that it wasn’t nasty rumors or people being cruel that aided her decision, but that a “certain person” was trying to keep tabs on her through the network… so she quit.

    At first we couldn’t really talk about it, but we had a way more serious situation than just somebody saying something on Twitter, and legally we couldn’t really talk about it at the time. It was just suggested. OK, come off Twitter, find out who some of these people are.

    It was not anybody on Twitter. It was someone keeping up with me through Twitter. It’s been going on for years, way before Twitter, but they were using Twitter to keep up with me.

    Some people thought it was something that someone said to me on Twitter. It was absolutely nothing like that. People have talked about and been cruel toward me, and every other artist, long before Twitter came about, so it would never be something as simple as something that somebody said.

    Mo recently celebrated her 30th birthday with a huge bash that doubled as an engagement celebration for she and Shannon Brown [CLICK HERE if you missed it] so she’s been too busy for twitter anyway.

    But I wonder…hmmmmm… who would want to stalk her? *scratching head*

    Listen to the full interview HERE.

    Monica Responds to Pregnancy Rumors + Her “Black Girls Rock” Performance [VIDEO]

    Nov, 8 2010 | Written by ATLien

    As rumors continue to swirl that Monica is pregnant by her future husband, Lakers baller Shannon Brown, Mo continues making wedding plans.? As if she doesn’t have enough on her plate, Monica decided to finally but the rumors to bed.

    She recently issued a statement via her publicist denying that there’s a baby on the way and explaining away her weight gain.

    I am ABSOLUTELY not pregnant. Gods Grace, Great kids, Great Family and Super good love sometimes = what we in the country call happy weight. LOL.

    So No worries. After more career focus time, family time and the wedding that would be a blessing to us both. [READ MORE]

    OK cool. I mean… I don’t see what the big deal would be either way. She’s getting MARRIED for pete’s sake! Her being preggers wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. Would it?

    Anywhoo… now that that’s out the way, check out Mo’s “Black Girls Rock” performance under the cut: Continue Reading…

    Rumor Control: Is Monica Pregnant… Again?

    Oct, 27 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Word on the curb is Monica may be knocked up with her third child. Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things, I mean, she’s engaged to a NBA Baller who will most definitely take care of the kid.

    As you recall, Mo and Shannon Brown announced their quickie engagement within 5 months of their meeting on the set of Monica’s Love All Over Me video shoot.

    [WATCH: “Love All Over Me” ~ OFFICIAL VIDEO]

    The two fell in love and the rest is history.

    The families all met last weekend during Mo’s 30th birthday celebration, so if she is pregnant this is perfect timing.?? Shoot… Shannon just got his NBA championship ring, a baby would just be icing on the cake.

    We all know that Mo wants a big family so this rumor doesn’t really surprise me. I’m reaching out to her camp now to find out if these rumors are true.

    If so… let’s start planning the baby shower. Phaedra style.

        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?
