  • Jennifer Hudson Looks AMAZING in Purple…

    Oct, 11 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Singer Jennifer Hudson performed onstage during the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education’s 15th Annual Grand Slam for Children benefit concert.

    The event was held in Agassi’s hometown of Las Vegas at the Wynn Hotel and J-Hud looked amazing in purple as she performed her hit DREAMGIRL’S song “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”

    Doesn’t Jennifer, who is an official spokesperson for weight watchers, look amazing in her new size 6 frame?

    Jen was joined by Elton John and Jason Mraz. The three musicians, along with a host of other celebrity guests, helped raise a total of $8.5 million for Agassi’s Foundation for Education. Agassi was pleased by the response and told the Las Vegas Review Journal:

    “Tonight is an example of what Vegas is. It’s about standing shoulder to shoulder, together, and really solving issues that affect all of us.”

    The Agassi Foundation raises funds to help improve education for underserved youth in the Las Vegas community.

    I was always told ?oh your personality is too big, everything about you is too big? Well I thought thats what a star was-somebody with a big presence. So I learned no matter who I was around not to let anyone intimidate me. Why should I dim my star just because somebody doesn?t like it? Thats why when I auditioned for ?Dreamgirls? I was like I don?t care who?s here.

    In the issue Jenn also discusses her upcoming projects as well as addresses the people who say ?they like her heavier?: Continue Reading…

    In Case You Missed It: VH1 Behind the Music: Jennifer Hudson

    Jul, 1 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson faced severe heartache after the triple-murder of her family members but she didn?t let the tragedy allow her to lose focus.? Successful singer and actress, happily married and mother to a gorgeous toddler, J-Hud recounts the tragedy and for the first time publicly she broke down.

    “It’s all a blur. It was surreal,” she said Monday during an episode of VH1’s documentary series “Behind the Music.” “It was like I was outside of myself.”

    Jennifer lost her 57-year-old mother Darnell Donerson, 29-year-old brother Jason Hudson and 7-year-old nephew Julian King. Hudson?s mother and brother were found dead in the house, her nephew was found dead in a vehicle.

    All three family members were shot in a triple homicide which put the R&B singer into a deep depression. William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia, has been charged with the murders.

    Soon after the murders, Hudson disappeared from public view. Recounting her days at the time that she spent with family and friends, Hudson said, “I prayed when I’d get up in the morning and prayed before I laid down at night,” she said. Later, she got engaged to David Otunga and has a son born last August.

        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?
