  • You Said It: NeNe Leakes is “Omarosa 2.0″…

    Apr, 12 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Apparently NeNe Leakes’ actions and attitude during this season of Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” has gotten quite a few of you all riled up. So much so, that she’s now been dubbed “Omarosa 2.0”!

    NeNe is playing that minstrel role to a “T”… shuckin’ and jivin’ in front of the cameras and creating quite a stir online and off.

    She started off the season going in on Star Jones and last week she caught flack when she dissed (or was dissed depending on who you ask) the legendary Dionne Warwick….

    Not to be left out… this week and next NeNe has chosen teammate Latoya Jackson as her new target.

    I haven’t even blogged on it yet, but y’all are GOING in on Ms. Leakes!? Since I haven’t watched the show yet, I’ve chosen two of the most passionate comments on the site to speak on NeNe’s “attitude”…

    NeNe is a hired gun! Who would act the way she does unless there was some big payday at the other end of her nasty personality. She is the new Omarosa.

    Doesn?t it seem strange how both of them came out swinging as if it was their job? Continue Reading…

    Dionne Warwick vs. NeNe Leakes (The Termination Heard Around the Net!)… [VIDEO]

    Mar, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    There was a showdown of sorts on the last episode of Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice”.? I don’t even watch this show, but I had to last week just to see what all the buzz was about.

    Real “housewife” of Atlanta NeNe Leakes took on the task of project manager and almost pulled the girls through, but for the 3rd week in a row, the women’s team lagged behind and were placed in the boardroom.

    This week, all eyes were on NeNe, as she critiqued each of her teammate’s participation in the task.

    Surprisingly, NeNe and Star Jones got along this week and when it came down to Dionne Warwick (who left in the middle of a work session to take a nap), all were in agreement that she had to go…

    Dionne, feeling some kinda way about being put on the hot seat, called NeNe a “coward” for not standing up to her and she gracefully exited stage left.

    Before hitting the seniors only buffet with a pre-rolled doobie tucked safely underneath her right breast, Dionne Warwick let those shady queens on her team (namely a low down dirty monkey with a wig) have it! ~ Freshalina

    In case you missed it, watch the full boardroom scene including Dionne’s stiff but graceful exit below: Continue Reading…

    Spotted: NeNe Leakes & Her Bikini Body? [PHOTOS]

    Mar, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Real “Housewife” of Atlanta and Celebrity Apprentice Nene Leakes was spotted in Miami last weekend rocking a neon bikini while sitting poolside.

    It’s no secret that NeNe has had a ton of plastic surgery and she proudly showed off her ‘assets’ as she read celebrity magazines and played with her ipad.

    NeNe was presumably visiting Miami to chill with Star Jone’s ex hubby, Al Reynolds.

    (sidebar: I wonder if Al gave her all the intel on her arch nemesis.)

    Oh… and for those of you who think Al is Ghay… think again! A close source reveals that Al vehemently denies the accusations because he’s bi-sexual…. not GAY! So put that in your pipe and smoke it….

    What do y’all think of NeNe’s 40 50-something year old bikini body?

    NeNe Leakes Bashes Star Jones (Again!) Then Hooks Up With Star’s Ex Husband…

    Mar, 24 2011 | Written by ATLien

    So apparently NeNe Leakes has been spending a bit of quality time with Star Jones’ ex-husband, Al Reynolds (affectionately known as ‘Big Gay Al’ on the net).

    Although Reynolds has been haunted by gay rumors [WATCH: Al Reyonds Says He Ain’t GAY! VIDEO], rumor has it he’s been getting quite cozy with his ex wife’s nemesis.

    As you know, Star and NeNe have been going head to head in the press, with Star even claiming to have hired security to protect her from her “Celebrity Apprentice” teammate.

    Al tweeted out the distorted photo above after hanging out in New York with NeNe and his friend Jennifer Williams of VH1’s Basketball Wives.

    According to several online sources, Reynolds and Leakes dined at STK in NYC on March 9 and eyewitnesses claim the two “looked very cozy”. Afterwards, they danced the night away at Haven before hopping in the same cab at 4 a.m.

    [Sidebar: and we all know how NeNe loves the Gays and the Gays love them some NeNe… but I digress!]

    By the looks of this recent tweet by Al, date No. 2 is already in the works:

    It’s unclear how much time the two have actually been spending together, but Star is supposedly having a hard time coping with the thought of them becoming buddies, especially since NeNe continues to bash her online and off.

    Watch NeNe bash Star (again) during a recent appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show PLUS read what Star is rumored to be saying about her ex and her new found enemy’s unlikely union: Continue Reading…

    NeNe Leakes vs. Star Jones (Round 3) ~ NeNe on Star’s “GAY” Marriage to Al Reynolds

    Mar, 2 2011 | Written by ATLien

    The battle may be over between RHOA’s NeNe Leakes and Star Jones but the war is apparently just beginning!

    What started as a few snide comments between the two ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ cast mates has turned into an all out HATE fest.? NeNe Leakes jump started their public battle during an appearance on Wendy Williams [CLICK HERE to watch]

    After Star lashed back against NeNe’s talk show diss, the tension between the two soon escalated to Star proclaiming that her safety was in jeopardy.

    [READ: Star Jones Hires Bodyguards to Protect Her from NeNe Leakes]

    Now it’s NeNe’s turn and she’s struck back with a slew of insults to Star.

    This time she’s targeting Star’s failed marriage to Al Reynolds (affectionately known around the net as “Big Gay Al.”

    NeNe holds no punches and roasts Star for marrying a man who she says is obviously GAY!

    ?NeNe called Star an old, fallen star, and Star told NeNe she was talentless and in a loveless marriage!? says a source.

    ?She got in Star?s face and said if she wanted to talk about marriages, she?d be happy to remind Star about her own ex-husband, Al Reynolds. Continue Reading…

    Newsflash! RHOA?s NeNe Leakes Frightens People?

    Feb, 2 2011 | Written by ATLien

    NeNe Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is known for her loud voice and brash attitude but that’s not a good thing.

    Normally, inside the city limits of Atlanta, NeNe can get away with it (most of the time), but apparently her loud mouth isn’t too well received amongst the masses.

    Supermodel Niki Taylor recently revealed to Jennifer Brit of the AJC, that she was afraid of NeNe when the two met during the filming of ?Celebrity Apprentice.?

    ?She came on a little bit strong,? said Taylor, who stopped by the Atlanta Expo Center representing the Reader?s Digest ?We Hear You America? campaign.

    ?I had a lot of fun doing it,? said Taylor, who said her fears of Leakes quickly subsided. ?There?s a very sweet side to NeNe,? she said. ?She works hard. She brings it.?

    Leakes, who secured an unpaid gig with WXIA for a few days last summer, desperately wants a career in entertainment reporting. But no one is feeling her attitude… especially since she lied about being on staff as a bona fide news anchor.

    [READ: I Heard: NeNe Leakes’ News Anchor Gig was a FARCE!]

    NeNe has hinted that she wants to leave the housewives next season and I’m sure it’s because Kim Zolciak has been granted a spin-off show and she hasn’t. Whatever the case, Taylor co-signed that NeNe is definitely “made for tv” material.

    ?I told her she needs her own show,? Taylor said.

        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?
