  • Atlanta Celebs Celebrate ?A Night To Remember??. [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Sep, 9 2011 | Written by ATLien

    It was definitely “A Night to Remember” last Tuesday evening in Atlanta, as model Tyson Beckford hosted a fundraiser and tribute to fashion pioneer Bethann Hardison and the late designer Willi Smith.

    The event turned a venue in Atlanta?s Atlantic Station into a full fledged fashion show complete with catwalk.

    Beckford, along with WSB TV?s Jovita Moore emcee?d the affair, which included a performance by singer Kenny Lattimore, a presentation to Hardison and Smith, and a stunning runway show.

    The show featured 70’s inspired fashion in honor of Smith’s WilliWear line and ended with a finale by Atlanta “housewife”/model Cynthia Bailey.

    Several celebs were spotted on the front row of the show, including newlyweds Toya & MempHitz, Trina & Towanda Braxton, celebrity photographer Derek Blanks, Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall, Roger Bobb, Kenny Burns (V103) and more.

    MempHitz Faces Judge: Admits Gun Was “Accident” & Apologizes to Fans…

    Aug, 24 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Mickey “MempHitz” Wright faced a Clayton County judge yesterday evening on charges that he carried a loaded pistol into Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport. [mugshot]

    Wright, who is licensed to carry a gun, was arrested Monday morning when TSA agents found a pistol in his carry-on luggage and spent the night in jail prior to his appearance in court.

    Charged with the misdemeanor offense of carrying a weapon in an unauthorized location, Wright was unnecessarily cuffed and shackeld as he was escorted into court wearing an orange jail jumpsuit.

    His wife Toya sat quietly in the back of the courtroom in support of her new husband.

    MempHitz was carrying a 40-caliber Desert Eagle firearm in his carry-on luggage and says it was all just a big mistake.

    He apologetically addressed Clayton County Magistrate Court Judge Daphne Walker, stating:

    I just wanted to say to you that I would never intentionally take a firearm to the airport.

    I just forgot that it was in my backpack.

    Walker reminded MempHitz that although he has a license to carry, “you do have to be careful when you go to the airport to be sure you remove it.” She then granted him a $5,000 bond.

    MempHitz has since been released from jail and hit up twitter thanking his supporters and apologizing to his family & fans.

    It was a mistake anyone could have made… or is it??

    From Toya Carter to Toya Wright to NY Times Bestselling Author!!!

    Aug, 10 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Antonia “Toya” Wright celebrated a major accomplishment a few days ago with a few of her close friends and family.

    In my One on One with Toya a few months back, she expressed her desire to break out of the “baby mama” stereotype:

    I want people to love and respect me for me and not for who I was associated with. That?s only a part of my life.

    Well… she’s definitely changed that path, and in the course of just a few months! Gone are the days of referring to Antonia “Toya”?Carter… (oops! Wright) as simply “Lil Wayne’s baby mama”.

    The reality show star married her best friend, changed her last name and secured a major endorsement deal. Now Mrs. Wright can now add “Best Selling Author” to her resume!

    Toya’s supporters have helped her land at #14 on the prestigious New York Times Best-Seller List with her memoir, “Priceless Inspirations.”

    [PHOTOS: Toya Carter’s Priceless Inspirations Book Signing (ATLANTA)]

    Using words she recorded in journals she kept as a teen, Toya bares her soul in “Priceless” by sharing her own personal struggles, using them to offer young women real and heartfelt advice about sex, relationships, motherhood and growing up.

    I commend Toya on being such a blessing and inspiration to others and wish her much success on her future endeavors!

        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?
