    May, 1 2013 | Written by ATLien

    ?Peter Thomas Dave Mays Unscripted Awards

    The City of Atlanta has officially transition from the great ‘music boom’ of the 90’s to the ‘reality show mecca’ of the new millennium and as evidence of this known fact, ‘Househusband’ Peter Thomas of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has created a new awards show.

    Cynthia BaileyPeter invited a few reality stars and several media outlets to his Bar One Restaurant and Lounge last night (April 1, 2013) to make the special announcement.

    Thomas, along with Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Benzino and David Mays (the founders and creators of ‘How Can I Be Down’ Music Conference, The Source Magazine, The Source Awards and Hip Hop Weekly), have teamed up to produce the first ever “UnScripted Reality Awards.”

    The UnScripted Reality Awards will honor individuals who star in the plethora of reality shows that entertain and intrigue us.

    There is an award show that acknowledges and honors the incredible talent and overwhelming influence of Reality TV Stars. Just as the film community has the Oscars, the music community has the Grammys, and the television community has the Emmys, this award show will bring focus to the genre that is steadily making a huge mark on popular culture.

    In addition to Peter and his supermodel ‘housewife’ Cynthia Bailey, several reality show stars came out hoping to score brownie points for an award in support of the new venture, including cast members from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, The Kandi Factory, Married to Medicine, R&B Divas, Basketball Wives, Big Rich Atlanta and more.

    Photos + additional details about the new awards show below… Continue Reading…

    Apr, 23 2013 | Written by ATLien

    VH1?s-Love-Hip-Hop-Atlanta-Season-2-Trailer

    Love and Hip Hop Atlanta aired the first episode of it’s highly anticipated 2nd season last night (April 23, 2013).

    [READ: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Drama Filled ATLANTA Preview Screening… ?(PHOTOS)]

    The episode kicked off the season by focusing on the love triangle between Mimi Faust, Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez. Joseline Maid

    [PHOTOS: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Does NYC… ]

    Things apparently have changed a lot since Season 1. So much so, that Mimi is now living with Stevie J, while Joseline still has a key!

    [Sidebar: I don’t know about you… but if I wanted to watch SisterWives, I’d look it up on Hulu.]

    But I digress…

    Love & Hip Hop Atlanta has somewhat of a ‘kindler… gentler’ feel to it this season, and I predict that we may actually learn a few life lesson from the ratchet cast of characters.

    Check out the 5 life lessons revealed in episode 1 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta (season 2): Continue Reading…

    Benzino of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Hosts Kandi Koated Nights… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Benzino Michelle Funky Dineva Nikki Nicole KKN
    While Kandi Burruss was in NYC securing her spot on Bravo’s roster during their annual Upfront event, her “Kandi Koated Nights” late night talk show went on without her (April 3, 2013).

    donVito-BenzinoNormally Kandi cancels the show when she’s unavailable to host it herself but this week was different… this week Kandi allowed Benzino (of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta) to host the show in her absense alongside KKN regulars Nikki Nicole, DJ A-One.

    [READ: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta TEA! + Watch 2nd Season Extended Trailer…]

    It was a whole lot going on in TAG’s Boutique last Wednesday as Benzino and the crew touched on the subject of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.

    Special KKN guests included resident funny woMAN Funky Dineva, comedian Chris Jones and some single lady who wrote a book about how to keep a man (kinda like Tionna Smalls), who got clowned throughout the show.

    Don’t ASK me what else went on during the broadcast, because I missed most of it… but one thing I will TELL you is that there was plenty of libations flowing and the gang was CRUNK! There was even a KKN afterparty at Atlanta’s historic Blue Flame Lounge strip club (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell!).

        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?
