  • A Message to Lil Duval…

    Jun, 25 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Shawty

    Atlanta bred comedian Shawty (What Yo Name Is) seems a lil bit upset that comedian Lil Duval has transplanted into Atlanta and “stolen his swag.” Not only is he mad, but he has challenged Lil Duval to a battle to prove who’s the funniest between the two short men. Now…if you from the “A” you know that Shawty’s been around a looooong “A”zz time. Hell, his shawt “A”zz has been everywhere…he was even spotted chillin in Nelly’s infamous Tip Drill Video. ? Shawty’s quick to admit that he may not be the funniest comic in the world but says he definitely can hold his own against Lil Duval and will put his own money up to prove it:

    “I got $30,0000….tell him to put up $30,000. Winner take all. (For what?) A comedy battle. We can do it. We could do a reality show. It could be skits, jokes and the real sh*t in the club… Hood like! Or we could just go straight up on the stage goddammit!”

    Shawty says he’s got that CASH money waiting but feels that Lil Duval is NOT gonna go for it. From listening to his rant, there seems to be a lil funnyman beef going on.? Shawty is a really funny dude and so is Lil Duval. I’d pay good money to see these two battle it out and I rarely pay for anything. 😕

    Tameka Raymond Needs A Referral + Did Usher Request DNA Test?

    Jun, 24 2009 | Written by ATLien

    tameka_usher_brazil

    Spotted @ MrsGrapevine

    Tameka Foster Glover Raymond committed a huge twitter error recently when she accidentally sent Star Jones a tweet that was meant as a Direct Message. In the message, Meka revealed that she was not happy with her current divorce attorney, Randall M. Kessler, and asked Star Jones for a bit of advice.? Moments after realizing her mistake, Tameka sought to erase it but it was too late.

    @starjonesesq my lawyer= horrible. Need the name/number of a good one in Atlanta.

    Please delete this?it was a DM mistake. Not for ppl to see. I?m sorry.

    One would think that Foster would have Twitter mastered by now, as she regularly uses the social networking site to misquote Bible verses and affirmations lifted from various spiritual gurus.

    Over the last six months, Foster also used Twitter to mislead followers about the state of her relationship with the ‘Confessions’ singer.

    She implied all was well with random Tweets about Usher going to the grocery store and the couple allegedly sending love messages back and forth while he was shooting the movie ‘Five Killers’ with Ashton Kutcher. ~ Jawn Murray

    BTW…this isn’t the first time Meka has made this mistake.? Might I suggest she take it easy on the tweets for a while…

    Moving on…it’s being speculated that Usher wasn’t really too sure that Tameka’s 5th son was his. And if you take Tameka’s snitchin “A”zz friend’s words at face value, he may have even requested a DNA test on Lil Nayvid: Continue Reading…

    Did Jermaine’s “Janet” Tatt Curse The Relationship?

    Jun, 23 2009 | Written by ATLien

    janet

    Word on the streets is that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri may have have parted ways:

    The National Enquirer says Jackson and Dupri, who have been together for four years and were reportedly pondering marriage, began battling over her recent tour ? managed by Dupri ? which was a dismal failure, with a string of canceled concerts due to poor ticket sales. The Enquirer, citing unnamed sources, said the fading superstar, 36, has moved out of Dupri?s Los Angeles home.

    ?Janet and Jermaine finally hit a wall,? the source was quoted as saying. ?They were fighting over his management of her career. In the end, she decided to make a break.? (source)

    Fortunately for JD, if the breakup rumors are true, Janet will forever be close to him. Well…at least until he decides to cover up that new tatt. I’ve always heard that when you get your boo’s name tatted it on you, it’s a recipe for disaster. Something about the curse of the tatt. A common saying amongst tattoo artists is that “the name tattoos of today are the cover-up jobs of tomorrow.” Well, if a name tatt brings bad karma to a good relationship, I wonder what a superstar’s face turned into the image of the Virgin Mary could bring. Could it have been Jermaine’s tatt that ruined their relationship?? Hmmm…

    Teyana Taylor Wants to Be Down

    Jun, 23 2009 | Written by ATLien

    teyana-taylor_cover1

    You may or may not know who Teyana Taylor is but if you decide to Google Her you can get the 411. The socialite/songstress recently hit the net swinging after being called a Rihanna clone when photographed chillin with Chris Brown.? Of course, WE all know Teyana’s swag is nowhere near identical to Rihanna’s but that’s beside the point. One thing’s for sure the girl’s got chops. She really CAN sing and has made a brief video to prove it.? Sooner or later you WILL respect Teyana’s authority!!

    BET’s Dorion Responds to Twitter Drama: “I’m Not Gay”

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    d2

    Dorion Standberry from BET’s College Hill Atlanta woke up this morning to a ton of drama (and a ton of free publicity). In case you missed it, Dorion’s Twitter page was hacked by a disgruntled lover/ex-boyfriend/stalker who released a ton of celebrity phone numbers and addresses. as well as Dorion’s butt booty naked pics.

    I’m of the mindset that Dorion did this sh*t himself. The former BET reality celeb left the confines of Atlanta, Georgia for bigger and better things in L.A. LA land. It’s a totally different world in hollyweird and most have to do crazy things to stand out from the crowd. All graduates of the college of self-promotion have either leaked a sex-tape, naked booty pics or both, so pretty soon Dorion will be way ahead of the game. We’ll probably see him chillin with the Kardashian’s or posted up with Ray-J at the Ivy in about 5…4…3…2…

    Mark my words. This reeks of the work of a top knotch Los Angeles PR firm. Check out what Dorion has to say about the drama during his recent “press” rounds below:

    Perez Hilton Tweets About Alleged Will.i.Am Beating + Video Responses from Both

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    perez

    Twitter was off the dayum chain this morning. Not only did BET’s Dorion Stanberry get “hacked” by what appears to be a disgruntled lover, but Perez Hilton tweeted about being assaulted by Will.i.am of the Black-Eyed Peas and his security guards:

    Beginning just after 3 a.m., Hilton started tweeting about the alleged attack:

    ? PerezHilton: I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.

    ? PerezHilton: I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.

    ? PerezHilton: Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel.

    perez2

    Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, is in Toronto where he presented at Sunday night?s MuchMusic Awards.

    Will.i.am addressed the issue via video. Check out what he had to say below: Continue Reading…

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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?
