  • Mo’Nique’s Legs Are Still a Hairy Situation… [PHOTOS]

    Oct, 4 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Comedienne/Actress/BET Host Mo’Nique and her hubby/business partner Sidney Hicks hit the “Black” carpet of the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta last weekend.

    Mo’Nique looked amazing onstage and off, but the Oscar winning diva, who was clowned maliciously for her hairy legs during the Golden Globes Awards, is still sticking to her guns about that dayum leg hair.

    If you recall, Mo’Nique has discussed her “hairy situation” (and also clarified her “open marriage”) on more than one occasion.

    She talked about it on The View and most recently during her post-Oscar interview with Barbara Walters, where she said that her husband loves it so she ain’t changing a thing.

    I dunno…Hubby looks a lil worried too Mo.

    It’s a shame she won’t even consider shaving…a trim? or at least think about rocking a longer dress. But I guess if he likes it… we love it. *shrug*

    TLC’s Chilli Discusses Her “Checklist” + Her Love for “Baby Daddy” Dallas Austin [VIDEO]

    Apr, 21 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas hit up BET’s Mo’Nique Show recently to promote her new reality show, “What Chilli Wants.”

    During her discussion with Mo’Nique, Chilli went down her list of requirements for a mate and she’s sticking to at least one requirement that is a deal breaker:

    “Some little person came up with that, “it’s not the size of the boat theory”… I want a big ship!”

    Mo’Nique follows up with…. “if you have a rowboat you’re not the man for Chilli. She wants the brother with the yacht!”

    In keeping this post PG, I’ll have to co-sign with Chilli.? A big boat is always better!

    Chilli also reveals that she doesn’t consider herself a “single” parent cause her baby daddy, Dallas Austin is always involved.

    Mo’Nique “Not Happy” About Her Brother’s Oprah Appearance [VIDEO]

    Apr, 21 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Mo’Nique is felling some kinda way after the brother she accused of molesting her as a child appeared on Oprah this week. Gerald Imes approached Oprah’s show for the interview after Mo’Nique revealed during Barbara Walters Oscar special that she had been molested.

    [Watch: Mo’Nique on Barbara Walters’ Oscar Special – VIDEO]

    Although Winfrey asked Mo?Nique if it was okay if Gerald Imes appeared on her show, the actress feels that he lied during the interview and that it was not sympathetic enough towards her.

    Oprah and Mo?Nique were never the best of friends… Mo?Nique was less than impressed with how the interview played out as she felt that her brother lied and that it was not sympathetic enough towards her.

    She was particularly upset that Gerald lied to Oprah that he molested her while she was sleeping because she was wide awake and scared of him. Also, she is angry that he did not get any help or enter a rehab and she does not trust him around children.

    Oprah asked her to appear on her show again for another interview but at this point she has declined the invitation.

    If anything it has made the situation worse between Mo?Nique and her family and she doesn?t know if she will ever speak to them again now. (Source)

    Mo’Nique Talks Hairy Legs & Open Marriage With Barbara Walters ~ Oscar Special [FULL VIDEO]

    Mar, 8 2010 | Written by ATLien

    During Mo’Nique‘s 2006 appearance on The View, the girls let her have it about not shaving her legs and Barbara Walters was a bit rude to her. So imagine how ecstatic Mo’Nique must have felt to be invited for a one-on-one with Barbara on her annual oscar show. [Sidebar: Payback is a B*TCH? :)) ]

    According to online sources, Barbara confided to friends that Mo’Nique was one of her most challenging subjects ever!

    “If Barbara needed one more reason to quit the Oscar specials, Mo’Nique gave it to her.”

    If you recall, Barbara referred to Mo’Nique’s newborn twins as “creatures” and ultimately took back her statement and called the babies adorable… but not before telling Mo’Nique, “Remember, you come and go. We stay!” in front of a somewhat surprised audience.

    [CLICK HERE to watch Mo’Nique’s The View Appearance]

    Fast forward to the present and Mo’Nique’s recent inauguration into Hollywood history…Mo never forget about that comment, but said she would do the interview as long as her demands were met.

    “She had very specific hair and makeup demands,” claims another source. “She also insisted that Barbara fly down to Atlanta. Barbara usually goes to her subject’s home, whether it’s Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts.

    Mo’Nique wouldn’t let Barbara into her house.”

    Barbara saved Mo’Nique’s interview for last during her Oscar Special for obvious reasons. Watch the full interview below to see what transpired between the two and check out what Mo’Nique has to say about her hair legs and her “open” marriage: Continue Reading…

    Backstage at the Oscars ~ Mo’Nique Speaks on Her Win [VIDEO]

    Mar, 8 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Actress/Comedienne MoNique was a vision in royal blue during last night’s Academy Awards show. The diva addressed why she carefully selected the color of her dress in a backstage interview after winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Precious”.

    Mo’Nique explained:

    The reason I have on this royal blue dress is because it’s the color that Hattie McDaniel wore in 1940 when she accepted her Oscar.

    The reason that I have this Gardenia in my hair? Is because it’s the flower that Hattie McDaniel wore when she accepted her Oscar.

    So for you Ms. Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me and it’s about time that the WORLD feels you all over them…

    A reporter then asks Mo’Nique how she could possibly relate to her character in the movie, Mary Jones.? Her response was classic Mo’Nique! Check out the video as well as additional photos 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?
