  • Big Poppa’s Crib…

    Aug, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    main-6

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Season Two) is on an poppin and people are still wondering who Kim Zolciak’s Big Papa’s is. Well I tried to tell you a while back but in case you couldn’t read between the lines, Big Poppa is believed to be none other than Georgia real estate investor Lee Najjar.? Big Poppa came to his senses and kicked Kim Zolciak to the curb so now she’s single and fancy free while he’s home doing family stuff with the wife and kids.? It’s kinda sad though…especially since Kim is stuck with his name tatted on her ring finger.

    Recently MTV’s Teen cribs featured Najjar’s expansive palatial estate with his two youngest children, Jamen (15) and Katelin (18), providing the tour of the insanely posh home.“Big Papa” himself and wife Kimberly even made brief appearances throughout the episode.

    According to HomesOfTheRich the 16,000 + square feet home is located on W Paces Ferry Road NW in Atlanta, GA and has a massive foyer with grand sweeping staircase (Katelin says she will walk down these steps the day she gets married), a huge ballroom, a gourmet kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, numerous bedrooms suites, a recording studio, an amazing home theater with a wrought iron door, a swimming pool, a tanning bed room, a game room with ping pong table, a gentleman’s club with special filtration for smoke, a beauty and nail salon, a massage room, a moroccan room complete with a hooka pipe, a massive pool House, a basketball court, and an outdoor hibachi grill. The family cars include several Rolls Royce, Mercedes and Range Rover. (source)

    DeShawn Snow: A Housewife Too Good for TV

    Aug, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    With all the drama that’s going on during this 2nd season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, it’s great to see at a lil bit of positivity. Former cast member, DeShawn Snow, who was booted from the show cause she was way too normal, recently held a free camp for young girls through her foundation, The DeShawn Snow Foundation:

    For me, being a teenager was like being on a rollercoaster. There were bumps and swift turns and so many ups and downs that, at times, I worried about fitting in. I felt like I was always faced with tough decisions to make. I was torn between figuring out who I was and dealing with the many issues that teenagers face. As most teenage girls are, I was often preoccupied with what I wore, how I looked, and who my friends were. Then there were the stomach-turning butterflies I felt when I wondered how boys perceived me. An added obstacle, so I thought, was my wondering how my family and friends perceived me.

    I established the DeShawn Snow Foundation to assist teenage girls who face challenges and roadblocks like I did.? I believe that together we can make a difference and have a substantial impact in steering our teenage girls toward successful life paths.? I want to be part of making a difference, so I have dedicated my life to empowering and enriching the lives of girls.

    DeShawn through her foundation created the empowerment camp, a free camp for girls designed to aid in building self esteem to girls aged 11-17.? The camp was held a few weeks ago and registration was totally free to the first 200 girls.? Killer Mike, Sister2Sister’s Jamie Foster Brown and TV Anchor Dierdre Dukes were among the professionals invited to provide motivational guidance and encouragement to the youngsters. Check out a few flix:

    I got a chance to get up close and personal with quite a few of the gamers and these dudes were SERIOUS about this release. Of course there were a few ladies taking part in the preview, but we all know WE just play cause y’all want us to!

    Joc hit the spot with what I refer to as two “big head” Joc’s. Shameless self promotion at it’s best! You’ll have to check out my video to see his arrival. Hilarious! Of course I also got footage of Big Boi, JD, Kandi, D. Woods, Mika Means and more.

    Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2 Premiere Party

    Jul, 30 2009 | Written by ATLien

    The premier party for the Real Housewives of Atlanta was held at the W Hotel. Lisa Wu Hartwell stole the show in her bright green dress and freshly beat face! The premier party was packed and although everybody seemed to be in good spirits, NeNe & Kandi rarely came within a few feet of one another, except for during photo ops! After hearing THIS blow-up over at MissJia.com, I can see why. Just messy! NeNe also took the time to share with anyone who would listen plans for the release of her upcoming book, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, which is scheduled for release in August.

    Kandi Burruss Defines B.L.O.G. + A Sneak Peak of ATL Housewives Season 2

    Jul, 27 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Photo by ExclusiveAccess

    Kandi Burruss has decided to dedicate her next album to the internet. Since joining the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kandi has been the hot topic throughout the blogosphere. All the chatter about her engagement to Ashely “AJ” Jewel combined with all of the gossip about her past romantic relationships on the Atlanta Music scene inspired the title of her upcoming album, “B.L.O.G.” Which means…B*tches Love Online Gossip <~~ I LOVE IT!? Kandi discussed the concept of her new album with Essence Magazine where she states:

    “I came up with the concept based on things that were going that were relevant to what’s going on in my life now including the show and what things have been written about me and my fianc?e by bloggers,” she admits. “The whole album isn’t about the show but there are definitely songs inspired from the show like “Fly Above,” and “It Must Be Good.”

    “B.L.O.G.,” which is scheduled for a September release, will also feature “Superwoman,” a duet and anthem for single mothers with Burruss’s dear friend, former Xscape member and T.I.’s fianc?e, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. Other guest artists include Rick Ross, Gucci Man and Rashieda.

    What perfect timing for a new CD! The 2nd season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta begins next week and Kandi’s first few episodes are said to be quite explosive. Check out a sneak peak of Kandi’s first appearance on the show and also a tour of her home. Video below:

    In case you missed it: NeNe Leakes On The Wendy Williams Show

    Jul, 16 2009 | Written by ATLien

    NeNe & Wendy


    Spotted @ Wendyista

    NeNe Leakes of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta hit up The Wendy Williams Show recently and spilled the beans about her true relationship with her fellow “housewives”. As the two mixed up some kinda alcoholic concoction Wendy asked NeNe to let it all out. Specifically about how she felt about Kim Zolciak and rumors of her split with her husband Greg:

    On Kim:
    “People thought that we were best friends. We weren’t. We were associates. We talked from time to time. We weren’t best friends although I love her kids… Listen, I’m not friends with any of those girls on the ‘Housewives’ show, OK? We have a business relationship. That’s where it starts and that’s where it ends.

    Wendy: And the business is Bravo?
    “The business is Bravo,” NeNe replied.

    On Kandi Burruss, the newest person to join the cast:
    Wendy: She’s got money.
    “Oh, really? I’m just saying, oh, really. I don’t know her like that,” NeNe said.

    You been to her house?
    “No, I’ve never been to her home.”

    Is she fabulous?
    “She aiight,” NeNe said with a shrug of the shoulders.

    On Xscape, the R&B group Kandi was a member of:
    “I don’t know who they are.”

    Of course you already know NeNe has a disdain for bloggers and has even told me to my face, but she addressed (again) how she feels about us internet hustlers and took a little time to openly admit she’s not really friend’s with any of her castmastes:

    “Listen, it’s not that I don’t like the girls,” NeNe added. “I like the girls. I talk to Lisa the most and um, Sheree and I, in the first episode, you see us try and mend our relationship. But what I’m saying is I think people get confused about what friendship is. Friends don’t do what we do – talk bad about each other, be very negative toward each other… We’re associates. We hang out from time to time. If I was really in a situation I wouldn’t call them up. I have good friends and i have a new sister – you.”

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
