  • They Say: Jennifer Hudson Ditched Her Fiance…

    Oct, 25 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Another one bites the dust!

    Word on the curb is that Jennifer Hudson and her fiance of 3 years, David “Punk” Otunga have officially called it quits.

    After a three-year engagement, Jennifer Hudson has abandoned plans to walk down the aisle.

    The American Idol alum, 30, and WWE star David Otunga – who have a 2-year-old son, David jr. – are on the outs, clashing over Jennifer’s career obsession, commitment issues and reluctance to have more children.

    “They were going to tie the knot in August in Jennifer’s hometown of Chicago… but it’s not going to happen,” an insider reveals.

    Many feel that it was Jennifer’s dramatic weight loss that caused the split, but there were also rumors that J-Hud’s finance/baby daddy had refused to sign a prenuptial agreement after they had already set a wedding date.

    The pair has rarely been seen together these past few months, so are you really surprised about this break-up news?

    They Say: Jennifer Hudson’s Wedding Plans Stalled By Punk’s Refusal To Sign Pre-Nup…

    Oct, 7 2011 | Written by ATLien

    ?

    There’s a reason David “Punk” Otunga has been M.I.A. by Jennifer Hudson’s side and it has absolutely nothing to do with his wrestling career.

    J-Hud and David have been perpetually engaged since 2008 and even have a 2 year old son, David, Jr. but it’s a rare occurrence these days to see them photographed together.

    Jennifer recently revealed in an interview that she has a wedding date in mind and has even chosen a dress, but according to several online sources she may not have a groom anymore!

    Word on the curb is that Jennifer wants Punk to sign a pre-nup and he has flat out refused.

    [David] didn?t want to sign a pre-nup, and so they put the wedding on hold.

    Honestly, I don’t blame her. I’ve been known to say the same thing a time or two (or three). Shoot! I’ll be dayum if I go through another divorce arguing over whose cd’s are whose!

    Next time umma just list ’em all in the pre-nup! 😆

    Would you require your husband or wife (to-be) to sign a pre-nup?

    Pick One: Jennifer Hudson’s Lacefront or Ciara’s Nipples? ~ J-Hud & CiCi Front Row at Givenchy [PHOTOS]

    Oct, 3 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Jennifer Hudson and Ciara were spotted sitting together on the front row of Givenchy’s Ready to Wear Spring / Summer 2012 on October 2, 2011 in Paris, France.

    The two hot broads showed off their sexy legs in short black dresses and high high heels.

    CiCi just barely avoided a nip slip scandal with her plunging neckline, while J-Hud, who recently opened her very own Weight Watchers Diet Center in her hometown of Chicago, sported a brand new lacefront wig with a part in the middle.

    [Sidebar: Both ladies looked great, but we should all take these photos as a WARNING that those high-def cameras catch every dayum thang!]

    Jennifer Hudson Launches Her Own Weight Watchers Center in Chicago Hometown… [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien


    Growing up in her hometown of Chicago, Jennifer Hudson would have never imagined her name would graced an Oscar and a Grammy. The Chicago native also NEVER dreamed in a million years that her name would ever be on a weight loss center used to inspire others… but now it is!

    The singer/actress was in her hometown Tuesday evening (September 27, 2011) for the ribbon cutting ceremony for “The Weight Watchers Jennifer Hudson Center,” her very own Weight Watchers center with her name on it.

    Jenn is serious as hell about repping Weight Watchers to the fullest no matter what y’all haters have to say about it!

    Jennifer Hudson Finally Sets Wedding Date + Receives 2011 Women Doing Good Award… [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 20 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Jennifer Hudson was a vision in red as she accepted her 2011 “Women Doing Good” award from Self Magazine in New York City, September 13, 2011.

    Self Magazine’s Women Doing Good Awards acknowledges women who “saw a need, hatched a plan, then changed the world for the better” and I’m assuming Jennifer’s 88lb weight loss fit the bill.

    Jennifer also brought her adorable son David Otunga, Jr. with her to the festivities and he’s looking more and more like his daddy everyday!

    Jennifer Hudson Honors Slain Nephew + Addresses Twitter Beef & Surgery Allegations…

    Aug, 15 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Jennifer Hudson honored the memory of her slain nephew during the 1st annual Julian D. King Gift Foundation Hatch Day celebration at De La Salle Institute in Chicago, Illinois yesterday (August 14, 2011).

    With her sister Julia by her side, Jennifer distributed school supplies to students. Hudson said she felt a school supply giveaway was the perfect way to honor her nephew?s memory, because he was really enthusiastic about learning.

    ?Because of his size, people always said Julian was going to be a football player,? said Julia.? But Julia said her son wanted to be a doctor and used to insist that people call him ?Dr. King?

    Yesterday would have been Julian’s 10th birthday.

    Jennifer also took a moment to address her recent twitter battle, where she was involved in a heated exchange with a fan who inquired if she’d had weight loss surgery.

    J-Hud was less than apologetic and felt her actions were necessary.

    Listen to Jenn’s explanation + more photos from the 1st annual Julian D. King Gift Foundation Hatch Day celebration below… Continue Reading…

        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?
