  • Lawsuit Blames Beyonce for 70 Unemployed Workers…

    Apr, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Beyonce and Jay-Z recently left Paris after a few days of wedded bliss, but it’s back to business and drama for the “Bootylicious” beauty after a lawsuit was against her filed this week.

    Gate Five LLC is calling Beyonce the Grinch who “destroyed” its business and “drove 70 people into unemployment” just one week prior to Christmas.

    According to the NYPost, a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court claims Mrs. Carter is to blame for lost revenue and several jobs after she abruptly bailed out of a deal to commercialize the video game Starpower: Beyonc?.

    In the suit, Gate Five claims it lost $6.7 million dollars in investment money as well as over $100 million in profits they would have earned had the deal survived.

    “Her actions were so unscrupulous that her then-manager [who is also her dad] renounced them, while a senior executive of the company…condemned her conduct as ‘morally reprehensible’ in an email he sent to one of her talent agents,” the suit says.

    No word from Beyonc? or her camp on the pending legal issue.

    Quick Flix: Beyonce’s Easter Weekend Attire… [PHOTOS]

    Apr, 25 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Beyonce Knowles-Carter was spotted Easter weekend rocking three (yes THREE) distinct looks in Paris, France.

    Bey got her “girl power” stance on in a photo shoot for Harper’s Bazaar Magazine, on Saturday she switched things up a bit, getting sexy for date night with hubby Jay-Z and on Easter Sunday, the good wife toned it way down for brunch with her boo!

    Jay-Z & Beyonce Toast the “Good Life” in Paris + The TEA on Bey’s New Video…

    Apr, 20 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Mr. and Mrs. Carter were spotted earlier today (April 20, 2011) enjoying mid-day cocktails at the famous L’Avenue restaurant in Paris France.

    Beyonce’s new single, “Girl (Who Rule the World)” has leaked to less than spectacular reviews, with one site calling it “all kinds of bad” (click HERE to listen).

    The song may be bad to some, but according to director Francis Lawrence, the new video for song will be the best thing since sliced bread:

    “I just shot a Beyonc? video at the beginning of this last week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – which was fun, and I hadn’t done a video since 2009,” he told MTV.

    “The video’s for the song ‘Girls’ – it’s off her new album. She would probably have me shot if I said anything… Some stuff spilled out, but she wasn’t happy about it, so I’ve been sworn to secrecy.”

    “It’ll be big – it’ll probably be one of the bigger Beyonc? music videos ever done. And, I can say that I think the song is unbelievable.” (source)

    Anything Beyonce touches turns to platinum, so I can only imagine that this video will be spectacular. Let’s hope so.

    Jay-Z Considering 40/40 Club in Atlanta?

    Feb, 3 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Shawn “Jay Z” Carter, 41, was in town recently dining at Atlanta?s popular Busy Bee soul food restaurant with Mayor Kasim Reed and Young Jeezy.

    Word on the curb is that Atlanta may be on the list of cities being considered by Jay Z for his franchise 40/40 sports bars, so he took a moment to meet with Mayor Kasim Reed to discuss the venture.

    According to AJC’s The Buzz, The website for Jay’s New York-based 40/40 Club lists Atlanta, as well as Chicago, Dallas & Las Vegas as potential expansion sites.

    ?Delaware North Companies, a global leader in hospitality and food service, has entered into an agreement with Jay-Z?s 40/40 Club that will bring the exclusive sports bar concept to select airports across the United States.?

    The? concept would ?give travelers access to the elite, modern sports bar to watch the game of their choice in an opulent lounge setting, all without leaving the airport,? it reads.

    Atlanta is a definitely a hot spot. I wonder why he didn’t think of this sooner…

        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?
