    While I can’t seem to get a grasp on the concept of ‘The New Atlanta,’ I’m hopeful that the show will pick up steam soon.

    Lucky Food Lounge New Name SUITEWhatever the case, plenty of ‘old Atlanta’ came out to SUITE (formerly Luckie Food Lounge) last night in support of ‘The New Atlanta,’ but all it takes to accumulate a crowd in this city is a phone call, a photo op and few free dranks.

    It was fun nonetheless… 🙂

    Attendees included: Porsha Stewart (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Tameka Raymond (soon to be cast member of ‘Hollywood Exes’ Atlanta Spin-off), Toya Wright, Celebrity Hairstylist Derek J (Fashion Queens), RL (of Next), Chanita Foster, Atlanta radio personality Ebonie Elecktra,?Producer Jazze Pha and many more…

    The UnScripted Reality Awards will honor individuals who star in the plethora of reality shows that entertain and intrigue us.

    Singer Kelly Rowland hit Atlanta last weekend to play host to Saturday Night at Compound nightclub.

    Rowland partied alongside several of Atlanta’s who’s who, including producer Sean Garrett, Chaka Zulu (DTP), Kenny Burns, Dice (Lala Vasquez-Anthony’s cousin), Rock City, Jazze Pha, and even that dude Ashanti was seen with last week (I think he’s a stylist/or something).

        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?
