  • Toni Braxton, Justin Bieber, Kenny Leon Honored During 33rd GA Music Hall of Fame Awards… [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 20 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Toni Braxton cozied up to Usher Raymond Saturday evening during the 33rd Annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards (September 17, 2011).

    The event was held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta and the two posed for a few cute photos backastage as Toni was preparing to accept her induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

    Braxton, a Maryland native, moved to the “A” in the 1990s and while accepting her award, admitted … “I consider myself a peach.”

    According to the AJC, Toni’s sisters were originally scheduled to perform in her honor, but apparently backed out at the last minute.

    Instead, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal was given the honors of introducing Toni, and he immediately joked about the camera crew from Toni’s reality show, ?Braxton Family Values,? hanging around backstage.

    [Sidebar: I’m sure that means we’ll be hearing more about the drama that occurred during season 2 Braxton Family Values.]

    Actor Samuel Jackson was on hand to present director Kenny Leon with his induction, which included a performance by Jasmine Guy and Usher and his prot?g? Justin Bieber presented an award to vocal coach Jan Smith. Continue Reading…

    Chris Brown Says Justin Bieber is a Lot Like Him?

    Mar, 21 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Chris Brown teames up with pop sensation Justin Bieber on one of the new tracks from his upcoming F.A.M.E. album.

    The song featuring the ‘Never Say Never’ teen heartthrob is entitled ?Next To You? and while working on the single, Brown had an epiphany as he watched the younger Bieber work.

    Brown, 21, says that in many ways, Bieber, 17, reminds him of a young C-Breezy! His “brotherly” advice to Bieber though is to just have fun, and do the right thing in his music and in his life.

    Chris shared a bit about his connection with ‘The Bieb’ during a recent radio interview, stating:

    ?He reminds me a lot of me when I was younger,? Chris said. ?I kind of try and be the big brother and make him go the right way and have a great time.?

    I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but if Selena Gomez turns up with a black eye, we’ll know why.

    In related news, Chris is currently going state to state promoting F.A.M.E. by holding a series of private listening sessions. He was in Atlanta last week (click HERE if you missed it), and most recently hit up NYC.

    Justin Bieber’s Hair Sells for Over $46,000 on eBay?

    Mar, 3 2011 | Written by ATLien

    It’s only been a week since Justin Bieber’s haircut nearly shut down the social networking site Twitter, but it’s already been sold for tens of thousands of dollars!

    The Bieb-ster shed his locks on February 21st and posted pics to the dismay of all his pre-teen fans who didn’t take the news too well.

    [READ: Justin Bieber’s Haircut Costs Him 80,000 Twitter Followers… PHOTOS]

    Justin gifted a lock of his hair to Ellen DeGeneres in a signed box the day after his much-buzzed-about cut and it was immediately auctioned off on eBay last week.? Within an hour the bids were up to $10,000.

    Yesterday it sold for a whopping $40,668. Per DeGeneres, the entire sum will be donated to the animal rescue organization The Gentle Barn Foundation, and the winning bidder will get to meet the teen superstar the next time he appears on The Ellen Show.

    No word on who Wednesday?s winning bidder was just yet, but I suspect it’s some old creepy billionaire who likes boys. Who the hell else would buy a piece of hair for $40,000 bux??

    In related news, Justin & Selena Gomez make a cute couple but his young fans are so jealous that they’ve threatened to kill her and rumor has it one of em punched her in the face!

    These lil girls are treacherous!

    Justin Bieber’s New Haircut Cost Him 80,000 Twitter Followers… [PHOTOS]

    Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    If you listen carefully, you might the words “Oh Em Geeee! Justin Bieber got a haircut! F*ck my life!” from the collective voices of all the pre-teen girls (and boys) who are obsessed with Justin Bieber’s hair.

    Word on the curb is that when Biebs tweeted the news of his new ?doo, 80,000 little girls collectively slammed their computers, changed their Bieber nail color, and, after calming down and thinking rationally, decided the best thing to do was to just un-follow him on Twitter.

    The number is still unconfirmed, but I wouldn?t be surprised if it was more like a milli.? Hair and cool clothes are the things most teens base their musical tastes on. Sorry, it is what it is.

    In related news, Justin is getting his own Madame Tussauds’ wax figure in New York, London and Amsterdam.

    ?To be immortalized in wax alongside some of my idols — Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce and my mentor, Usher — is incredibly exciting and very cool.” ~? Justin Bieber

    By the way… the wax figure will feature Justin’s old haircut.

    In the meantime, we can reminiscence over Justin’s longer locks in pics of he and Rihanna from the 2011 NBA All-Star game 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. 👽🛸

        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?
