    New Doo Alert: CeeLo Green Contemplates Hair Transplant… [Before & After Photos]

    Dec, 1 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Cee Lo Green was spotted exiting the BBC Maida Vale studios in London earlier today (December 1, 2011) and he gave the paparazzi a clear shot of his everything…

    [PHOTOS: Sexual Napalm: Ceelo Green…]

    The one thing Lo didn’t show was his smooth bald dome.? While the hitmaker proclaims he’s “comfortable” being bald, he’s been known to rock a wig or two, and now thinks he could take his outrageous style to another level if he had flowing locks.

    I should get a hair transplant. I love hair. That’s where my whole wig thing comes from ? vicariously wanting to have hair.

    I’m comfortably bald you know, so I don’t think I will go so far as to get a transplant. I people think I’m outrageous now, if I had hair I’d be something else; I’d shave it, wear it in different styles and all that. (source)

    Chile I guess… 😕

    Could you even imagine Lo with a head fulla long luxurious hair?

    Lemme help you out… Continue Reading…

    Quick Quotes: ATLien on Why We LOVE Atlanta…

    Nov, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Creative Loafing recently revealed the top 157 Reasons Atlantans love ATL in their “We ? ATL” edition and looky who they hit up for a quote.

    Of course, y’all know I’m always hyped about reppin’ the home team, so the number #1 reason I personally love Atlanta is…

    Because we have our own terminology:

    “ATL, SWATS [South West Atlanta Too Strong], Old NAT’L, and, of course, ATLien ? all invented by Dungeon Family artists. Also, true Atlantans also know that the only ‘T’ found in ‘Atlanna’ comes in a glass with lots of sugar and a lil lemon.”

    ~ Michelle “ATLien” Brown, hip-hop/gossip blogger, StraightFromTheA.com

    [Sidebar: Yeah… I took it waaay back with that pic of me, T-Mo and Khujo Goodie! 😆 ]

    Please feel free to share reasons you LOVE and/or HATE the great city of Atlanta…

    CeeLo Green & Melanie Fiona Perform “Fool For You” at Soul Train Awards… [PHOTOS]

    Nov, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien

    CeeLo Green was one of the major highlights of the?2011 Soul Train Awards.

    [PHOTOS: 2011 Soul Train Awards Red Carpet]

    Last year, the Goodie Mobber hit the Soul Train stage for the first time as a solo artist, performing his hit “F*ck You,” and he returned to the stage in Atlanta for a 2nd year in a row, bringing along two-time Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, Melanie Fiona to performed their single “Fool For You” last night at the 2011 Soul Train Awards, which took place at Fox Theatre in Atlanta and aired last night (Sunday, November 27, 2011).

    This year’s costume was simple enough, but you already know CeeLo Green‘s fits are never actually “simple”.?? Green hit the stage wearing all white everything, in a white 2-piece outfit trimmed in silver.? But instead of rocking women’s shoes or a fawnky wig, the entertainer decided to perform barefoot…

    Kenan Thompson Gets “Freaky With Cee-Lo Green” on SNL… [VIDEO]

    Nov, 7 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Comedian Kenan Thompson, who also happens to be an Atlanta native, portrayed a fellow ATLien during last weekend’s Saturday Night Live.

    Dressed in feathers, funky glasses & a shimmering cape with a bottle of ‘freaky moscato’ close by, the actor spoofed the artist known as CeeLo Green in a skit called “Gettin’ Freaky With CeeLo”…


    During the “show,” Kenan (as Ceelo) offers advice to a married couple with sex issues, stating:

    ?Attractiveness is about confidence. It?s about attitude. There was a time when people didn?t think I was attractive.

    Thompson also briefly touches on Ceelo and his “freaky fixation” with groupies, as he references making love to ‘a pile of ladies’.

    Not many hip-hoppers are honored with SNL spoofs, and while Thompson resembles Jazze Pha way more than Ceelo… it’s still worth a watch.

        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?
