    “Kile?s World Foundation” will offer art-based camps with multiple workshops including general instruction in the areas of acting, singing, dance, painting, illustration, music production and digital media.

    It is also Tameka’s hopes to eventually open a magnet school with an emphasis on music and the arts in Kile’s honor.

    Usher Raymond payed a visit to The Jimmy Fallon Show last night to promote the new season of The Voice (March 25, 2013).

    [PHOTOS: Usher & Shakira Join The Voice (PROMO SHOTS)]

    Usher in NYC 032513-10As you know, Raymond joins the top rated talent contest this season as a judge in the competition, replacing Ceelo Green, while Shakira comes aboard and takes Christina Aguliera’s spot.

    [READ: THEY SAY: Usher’s Ego is Way Too Big For ‘The Voice’ + BTS Photos… ]

    Oddly enough, Usher pulled a “Beyonce’ last night and literally short-circuited the entire stage!

    ?This is very interesting,? Fallon said, as the lights went pitch black just as he was introducing Usher.

    ?No, this is good, you guys. This is the way he wants it to be lit.?

    Before he finished that sentence the lights came back on.

    Usher’s subsequently took his chair for the interview and admitted that people don’t always get his sense of humor, calling himself the ?black Larry David? *crickets*

    Mugshot Mania – Kile Glover’s Alleged Killer Pleads ‘Not Guilty’… [PHOTOS]

    Mar, 22 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Jeffrey Simon Hubbard
    Jeffrey Simon Hubbard posed for the mugshot above after he was arrested in Hall, Co. a few weeks ago? on several charges, including homocide.

    Hubbard is the jet ski operator/friend of the family who allegedly collided with?Tameka Raymond?&?Ryan Glover?s son, Kile at Lake Lanier last summer.Tameka Raymond Kile Glover-2

    Kile and his father, Ryan Glover, were vacationing at the lake July 4th weekend when Hubbard’s personal watercraft crashed into the boy’s raft. ?Kile subsequently died of heart failure at an Atlanta hospital July 21, 2012 at the age of 11 years old.

    [READ:?R.I.P. Kile Glover: A Beautiful Mind is Laid To Rest (PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Jordan Shepp, a family friend & daughter of Peaches Chin (Kandi Burruss’ TAGS Boutique buisness partner), was tubing with Kile that day and suffered injuries as well. ?Shepp survived the accident with?a severe injury to her left arm and her scalp was ?seriously disfigured,? requiring multiple sutures.

    Glover?s death and other accidents and injuries on Lake Lanier sparked legislative scrutiny of boating regulations, resulting in new boating safety regulations.

    Hubbard faced a judge earlier this week on charges stemming from both Kile’s death and Jordan’s injuries in the crash and entered a plea of ‘not guilty’ to all charges.

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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. 👽🛸

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?
