    The ‘R&B Divas’ starlit finally married her much younger boxer boo, Karl Dargan, and the two are now expanding their family.

    [FLASHBACK: ‘Superwoman’ Lil Mo Talks Divorce, Pregnancy, Cheating & More… ]

    After revealing the good news a few weeks ago, Lil Mo has been sharing several photos of her growing baby bump online and several fans inquired about her baby registry.

    Welp, since Mo is no stranger to the birthing process (her current child with be the couple’s 8th (EIGHTH!!) child together: Lil Mo?s fifth and Karl?s fourth), she prefers coinz over cribz this time and isn’t ashamed to say it!

    Is ‘Skanky’ the New ‘Sexy’?? Watch Veronica Vega’s ‘PAY ME’ (Prod. Polow Da Don)… [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

    Veronica Vega Pay Me - StraightFromTheA

    NEWSFLASH! Zone 4’s Veronica Vega is on quest to bring ‘skanky’ back!veronica vega

    For the record, I don’t know much about Vega besides the fact that she’s one of Polow Da Don‘s new artists and she’s been spotted around the clubs of Atlanta for a while now.

    [FLASHBACK: Amber Rose, Veronica Vega & More Party at Compound… (PHOTOS)]

    And after watching Vega’s new ‘Pay Me’ video, which is filled with groping and close up shots of her ‘kutty kat,’ I feel like I know her a little bit TOO well.

    Vega released the official video for her new single earlier today and the latina sensation seems to be aiming for a specific market. Maybe she hopes to reclaim the ratchetry left vacant by aging Miami rapstresses like Trina, Jackie O and Khia.. i.e. she’s bringing ‘skanky’ back!

    Thongs vs. Granny Panties: Are Big Drawls Making A Comeback??

    Jun, 2 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Beyonce Granny Panties 1
    NEWSFLASH! Beyonce is not the only one seeking comfortable underwear these days.? While Queen B’s pic is being used for demonstrative purposes only, it seems that younger women these days prefer to rock granny panties more than just that one special week a month.

    A new study shows that there’s a young generation of women who have discovered a brand new kinda ‘sexy’ in the most unlikely of places: their grandmothers? underwear drawers!

    ?When I walk into a lingerie store, I?m always like, ?O.K., which drawer in here is for the grannies?? ? Daphne Javitch, 35, said of her predilection for ample-bottomed undies.

    That preference led Ms. Javitch, back in 2010, to found Ten Undies, a line with a cult following that sells cotton full-bottom bikinis, boy shorts and high-waist briefs not unlike the kind immortalized in ?Bridget Jones?s Diary.? (?Hello, mommy.?) Ten?s wares are comfortable and practical, to be sure, but that?s hardly the only draw.

    Apparently sales of thongs have dropped 7% over the past year and the study shows tat sales of underwear styles offering more coverage (i.e. ‘granny panties) have actually increased 17% during the same time period.

    Granny Panties

    More details about this growing popularity of granny panties below… Continue Reading…

    For Discussion: Should You Fix Your Man’s Plate? Or Nah? ‘Black Twitter’ Debates…

    May, 26 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Soul Food - SFTA 1

    OK… so it’s the day after Memorial Day. All the BBQ’s are over and yet, the debate still continues about whether a woman should fix her man’s plate or not.

    [FLASHBACK: Nightline Face-Off: ‘Why Can’t Successful Black Women Find a Man? (VIDEO)]

    twitter question 1The discussion began about a week ago on Twitter and Facebook, when a meme popped up inquiring the following:

    Soooooooooooo you are at a barbeque. Your man is hungry. He lets you know he is hungry but you are not the kind of woman to go around ‘fixing plates’ for a man so you ignore him.

    A random woman hears this and says, ‘I will fix your plate.’ She sashays away and comes back with a plate for your man.

    Do you have any problems with this?

    The battle has continued and it’s actually getting quite entertaining. I personally don’t have a problem ‘fixin plates’ but apparently there are a lot of women who feel ‘some kinda way’ about the question even being asked…

    FOR DISCUSSION: Are Women ‘Crazy’ In Love or Are Men Just Crazy? Michael Jai White Pens Open Letter To His Exes…

    Apr, 16 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Michael Jai White - ATL Live

    Michael Jai White posed for the photo above as he partied in Atlanta during ATLLive on the Park earlier this week (CLICK HERE for more photos).

    The actor, who is currently featured on Tyler Perry’s ‘For Better or Worse’ recently took to his facebook page to pen an open letter to all of the girl’s he’s loved before (cue Willie Nelson).

    Following years of trial and error with romantic relationships, it appears that White has had an epiphany of sorts when it comes to dating, love and his all of his former girlfriends.

    In his letter, White details the issues he’s encountered in his many relationships and how women were ?crazy? with their relationship demands, stating:

    As a man, you have to deal with hand holding, ?yes dearing,? and freaking cuddling! I endured this for years until my relationships reached their natural demise due to some natural chemistry flaw between us or the woman?s natural chemical imbalance- Yes I said it…

    I believed all women were crazy and the only choice a man had was to decide exactly how much crazy he?s willing to deal with to sustain a relationship.

    In The Tweets: Pinky?s Weight Gain Sparks Online Stripper Debate?

    Monroe Sweets and Pinky - Jersey November 2014

    Pinky and her friend ‘Monroe Sweets’ posed for the photo above as they appeared at the 2014?Exxxotica Convention in Edison, NewJersey this past weekend.

    Pinky and Fans - Jersey November 2014 - StraightFromTheAThose of you who are well-versed in the adult industry will probably recognize Pinky (real name Sarah Mirabelli), a well-known adult film star, who was once sought to appear in strip clubs across the country.

    [FLASHBACK: Is Stripping a ‘Recession Proof’ Profession?]

    I would assume that any career based solely on your personal appearance would have some sort of expiration date, and perhaps that warrants some sort of ‘back-up plan’ to insure your future. But what do I know? I sit behind a computer everyday don’t have to be seen unless I want to.

    Anywhoo… that being said, Pinky returned to the scene last weekend after a brief hiatus, and her ‘heavier than normal’ appearance made her a nationwide trending topic.

        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?
