  • Cover Shots ~ Michael Vick & Fiance’ Kijafa Frink Cover Sister2Sister

    Mar, 26 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Eagles Quarterback Michael Vick and his fiance Kijafa Frink cover the April 2010 issue of Sister2Sister Magazine.? The two also opened up to S2S editor, Jamie Foster Brown, who interviewed the couple about their relationship and Mike’s decision to participate in his BET reality show.

    What made you want to do [a reality show]? Was it difficult?

    Michael: No, it wasn?t hard to do. When I was in prison we talked about documenting everything coming out of prison, so we kind of had fun with it and just recorded everything in our day-to-day life.

    I?m surprised because Mike?s real quiet. That?s what people always say, but are you really like that? Kijafa, you can answer.

    Kijafa: Yeah, he?s a very quiet person around people that he don?t know, but when he?s home, he likes to laugh and joke and play.

    Michael: It depends on who I?m around. It takes a while for me to get accustomed to certain people because of my level of trust. And that?s dated back to when I was younger.

    Mike also reveals a childhood incident that could have left him blind!

    Cover Shots ~ Jeezy vs. Trey Songz on VIBE

    Mar, 24 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Vibe Magazine has released a sneak peek of their April/May 2010 cover which features both Jeezy (minus the Young) and Trey Songz. I’m partial to the Jeezy cover but that’s just me.

    Pair together the dopest mag out with one of trap rap’s finest, and what do you get? A second issue of VIBE that’s iller than the gout, harder than a dinner plate. Check out this promo shot of cover star Jeezy?as well as these other fresh flicks?to hold you over until the April/May cover drops.

    I admit it’s a very odd pair but whatever works. *shrug*

    Of course you’ve heard by now that Mr. Jenkins officially dropped the “Young” from his name since he’s getting on up there.? I giggle at the thought of him adding “Old” in a few years.? Think about it… “Old Jeezy”… hahahaha!

    Peep Trey’s shot under the cut: Continue Reading…

    Ludacris Covers Honey Mag + Why He Keeps His Lovelife a Secret

    Mar, 22 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges covers the March 2010 issue of Honey Magazine and opens up about relationships and his public battles with Bill O’Reilley.

    I finally got that opportunity last year at the White House Correspondence dinner. When I saw his name on the list of people present, I immediately?went up and confronted him. He had this look on his face, like I was the last person that he expected to see.The first thing I said to him was, ?I wanted to meet the person who had so much to say about me but knows absolutely nothing about me.? READ MORE

    Luda also revealed why he desires to keep his mystery woman – who I’ve heard is headed to the alter with Mr. Luva Luva – a “secret”:

    I try to preserve certain things and keep things special, and that is one thing that I would like to keep private.

    I can respect that. Being locked down suits Luda though. He’s looking quite yummy these days…

    Luda’s HoneyMag photospread contains several cute shots with a “Battle of the Sexes” theme. Check out the photos + behind the scenes video from the shoot below: Continue Reading…

    Cover Shots: Usher Raymond on Billboard Magazine

    Mar, 10 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Mr. Raymond graces the cover of the March 13th issue of Billboard magazine. The photo is cropped at the knees, so the verdict’s out on if he chose to rock full length pants or capris.

    All jokes aside, Usher is on the grind and feels that his new project will reveal a new Ursh. Despite the challenges of trying to reclaim his superstar status in a drastically downshifting industry climate, Usher is determined to create more history of his own.

    I’ve come through a metamorphosis and I’m in my new skin. A lot of things have happened in the last few years that could have broke me, but I’m still standing; rejuvenated with a new peace, confidence and energy. I’ve got fire in my eyes.?? FULL COVER STORY

    Usher is also fully aware that he needs to drop a few more videos for all those singles he’s got on the charts. He’s currently shooting back to back videos for “O.M.G.”with Will.i.am and “Lil Freak” with Niki Minaj. So prepare yourselves… he’s coming!

    Janet Jackson in “Wonderland” [PHOTOS + BTS VIDEO]

    Feb, 4 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Janet Jackson is back in full effect. After taking a bit of time to mourn the death of her brother, Michael, she’s preparing to regain her throne as the princess of pop… (or is it queen)? Whatever the case, Janet’s knockin off these wannabes one by one. In a recent interview and photospread with Wonderland Magazine, Janet dishes dirt on everyone from Lady Gaga to Rihanna.

    Do you feel that with Lady gaga being so popular that your fashion now has to shock people?

    I think a lot of [what Lady Gaga wears] is really cool. I?m not knocking Gaga in any way, because I?m actually a fan of hers. I don?t know because we?ve never spoken, but when I look at her, I get the vision of Leigh Bowery. I mean, everybody?s inspired by something. Do I think it?s over the top at all? I enjoy it because it?s something kind of different. It?s something new to look at. It?s going to be hard [for her] to keep up with that, but who knows?

    How about Rihanna? does what she?s doing with bandages remind you of any of your previous incarnations?

    Have I done that before? Yes. I?m not saying she?s copying me. Everything is cyclical. They come back around at some point.

    Yup…she went there! Janet says she is the O.G….Numero Uno…and it’s time for the youngsters to take a step back!

        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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
