    While most were dressed for the occasion (hell… even Jeezy wore a suit!), Nene rocked a pair of torn jeans and flip-flops and Cynthia followed suit in casual attire as well.

    Of course you already know Marko Marlo seized the day, as she rocked the sequined Hammer pants she made famous in Africa.

    The Atlanta screening of “Battleship,” (the movie where Rihanna makes her big screen debut) was held May 17, 2012 and Toya Wright, hubby Memphitz and daughter Reginae Carter posed for the adorable portrait above in the OMG Booth as they made it a family movie date.

    The science fiction flick is named after the game of the same name and premiered nationwide May 18, 2012 with mixed reviews.

    Female rapper DaBrat stepped out for a rare appearance sporting army fatigues, an MCM backpack and reppin’ SoSo Def with a customized phone case.

    SPOTTED: Marlo Hampton & “Glam It Up” Girls Attend ATL Celeb Kids Fashion Show… [PHOTOS]

    May, 14 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Harpo who dis man? It’s been so long that I barely recognized Marlon Marlo Hampton, the felonious background character on last season’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    Marti Marlo was spotted last weekend attending Kontrol Magazine’s Atlanta Celebrity Kids fashion show (May 12, 2012).

    Fresh off of her European vacay, Hampton, rocking what her stylist called “a menswear look with a twist,” hit the red carpet of the kiddie event in a red and black Dolce & Gabbana leopard print silk blouse paired with black Yves Saint Laurent pants and Black Christian Louboutin pumps.

    The felonious fashionable f-bomp flinger (see what I did there?) also brought along a group of girls from her ?Glam it Up? organization, a non-profit organization formed for girls ages 13-17.

    Marlo blames her extensive criminal past on her experiences growing up as a product of the foster-care system, but she hopes that by providing ?healthy eating, dressing for success, grooming, etiquette and self-esteem” tips to young girls, she can change the mindset of other young girls growing up in similar situations.

    [Sidebar: Say a little prayer for those young’ns… ]

    Other notables spotted at the event included: former Atlanta “housewife” Lisa Wu-Hartwell (aka Sharon Millette),T.I.’s sons Domani & Messiah Harris, Q. Parker (of 112) and his wife Sharlinda, Shawty Lo, Lil Scrappy, George & Chanita Foster and more.

    What do Ma$e, Montel Jordan & Marlo Hampton All Have in Common?

    Apr, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    I bet you’ll never guess what former Badboy/ Diddy sidepiece kick Mason Betha and 90’s rap icon Montel Jordan have in common with Real Housewives of Atlanta background character/ex-con Marlo Hampton…

    Lets’ see… besides the fact that Ma$e was arrested for picking up a tranny?in Atlanta that time (and no, the Tranny wasn’t Marlo!), all 3 live in ATL… but that ain’t it.

    Montel quit music to become an Atlanta pastor and Ma$e and his wife Twyla had their own Atlanta congregation online and off.

    While both Ma$e and Montel have been heavily involved in spreading the gospel of our heavenly father to their respective churches, but I doubt that Martavious Marlo has ever stepped foot in a pulpit.

    Montel and Ma$e also hit the height of their popularity as rappers back in the 90’s, but I don’t think that Marko Marlo ever spit a verse on wax.

    And if you’re thinking it’s because all of their names start with “M”… well think again!

    Details below… Continue Reading…

    Fan Mail: Charles Grant (Marlo Hampton’s Ex-Fake Fiance) is a Deadbeat Dad…

    Apr, 24 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Remember Charles Grant, the former NFL ball player to whom Marlo Hampton, the background character on season 4 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, was fictionally engaged?

    Grant, who’s rap sheet is almost as long as his fake fiance’s, was popped late last year for bouncing a $500 bad check which coincidentally is when Hampton publicly fessed up about their “relationship” being over.

    [READ: Mugshot Mania: Charles Grant Writes Bad Checks + Marlo Confirms What We Already Knew… ]

    Grant hasn’t really played ball since he was released from the Saints in 2010 and word on the curb is that his accounts are all frozen due to tax woes and in addition to all of that he’s been placed on of the ever growing list of “deadbeat” dads.

    [Sidebar: We probably should have caught a clue after all his baby mamas started leaving comments under THIS POST. But I digress…]

    One of Grants many baby mamas recently hit me up and wants the world to know about his escapades. So without further adieu, here’s what Charles Grant’s baby mama wants you to know… Continue Reading…

    Marlo Hampton Wants You To Know… [She Fought A Good Fight, Now What?]

    Apr, 15 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Mario Marlo Hampton is clearly feeling some kinda way about acting a fool on camera with no reward.

    Last week I revealed the four cast members of The Real Housewives of Atlanta that were confirmed for next season (click HERE if you missed that).

    As of today, at least one cast member (Sheree Whitfield) is rumored to be cut from the roster, while Kim Zolciak‘s future reportedly depends on how well her upcoming wedding special is received.

    On the other end of the spectrum is Marquavious Marlo, who was hoping and praying that her new found popularity would secure her a spot on the show, but apparently since she hasn’t received any news from Bravo at all — not even an invitation to return next season as a background character — she’s not too hopeful.

    Because of this, one of Marlo’s “F” words has written her a new blawg post with a cryptic message seemingly to save face before she too gets the boot.

    Could these be Marlo’s last words to Bravo? Read it and weep… 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. 👽🛸

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?
