  • Lyfe Jennings ~ Setting Up For A Come Back…

    Jul, 13 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Lyfe by CHRISSTAN FORD

    It’s only been a little under 9 months since Lyfe Jennings made it into our mugshot mania gallery but he seems to be bouncing back from all the drama quite well. Lyfe, a native of Toledo, Ohio and an Atlanta transplant, is set to release a new project under his own label this fall and is pounding the promo trail to get the word out:

    SOONER OR LATER, is the first release to come out on Lyfe’s new label Jesus Swings. He notes: “I am happy to be working with Asylum/Warner Bros. to introduce Jesus Swings. It’s a new found independence for me and it’s rewarding to get to call the shots. It takes a real man to accept living and dying by his thoughts, and rising and falling by his dreams.”

    LYFE JENNINGS, transformed the music world in 2004 after the release of his critically acclaimed debut Lyfe 268-192. Hailed as gritty and raw, the album created devoted fans everywhere and sold over a million copies.

    LYFE captured an even broader audience in 2006 with his sophomore effort, The Phoenix, which expanded on his life story, taking listeners through different phases of a man. The album featured the smash hit, “S-E-X,” a cautionary tale for young women from a male perspective. He went on to release Lyfe Changes in 2008.

    LYFE’s SOONER OR LATER offers more of the real life stories that he loves to weave. When Lyfe gives you his music he truly gives you a piece of himself.



    Shouts out to my girl Theda Sandiford over at MissTheda.com for the photos and the info.

    A video for “HATERS” will be coming soon.? Sooner or Later should be on shelves September 22nd.

    This Could Be You…

    Jul, 13 2009 | Written by ATLien

    77041-manhole

    Or not. Cause I’m almost postive that YOU’re probably way more attentive when you’re walking down the street and YOU would NEVER text (or tweet) while walking or driving. No….uh uh. None of YOU would never do that. That’s why it’s so easy to condemn this chick for falling into an open manhole while she was texting away on her phone. The young woman fell several feet into the hole after workers left the cover off while they returned to the truck to retrieve orange cones.

    The New York Department of Environmental Protection issued a statement saying:

    “We regret that this happened and wish the young woman a speedy recovery”

    “sigh* I ain’t even gonna lie. It very well coulda been me…well, besides the fact that my “A”zz woulda got stuck in the hole. 😯 Y’all just be careful out there…

    Mugshot Mania ~ In Memory of Steve McNair & His Jump Off

    Jul, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    McNair Killed

    You’ve heard it from a gazillion other places I know, but authorities say Sahel Kazemi (pictured above in an undated mugshot) is responsible for the murder of retired quarterback, Steve McNair and then took her own life. The story is one that industry dudes should take note of, simply because it could have been avoided.

    McNair was married, recently retired from the NFL and had decided to build a quiet life in Nashville with his family, which included his wife of 12 years who was the mother of two of his 4 sons. He met Kazemi about 6 months ago at a restaurant whre she was a waitress and where he often ate with his family. The two began they’re fateful affair and McNair lavished the naive 20 year old with gifts and trips around the country.? She was young and caught up. McNair gave her an Cadillac Escalade for her birthday and took her on trips to Las Vegas and Key West, Fla.

    Friends and family say that Kazemi seemed to think that their relationship was true and appeared confident the pair would last. She had even introduced McNair to her family and her nephew quoted her as saying McNair was divorcing his wife and that it would be finalized soon.

    ?I think she had already put her stuff up for sale on Craigslist,? Abdi (nephew) said.

    The first sign of trouble was early Thursday Continue Reading…

    WTF?! Woman Attempts Plastic Surgery on HER OWN Face!

    Jul, 2 2009 | Written by ATLien

    plumping_parties_plastic_su

    This crazy economy is sparking some interesting news footage. While the photo above is a comedic exaggeration of a woman giving herself injections, there is a real incident that happened recently.? A woman in Dublin, California had to have corrective plastic surgery after deciding that she would try to save a few dollars by performing a procedure on her own face. The woman, let’s call her “Mary”, is 54, a mother of three, with a career in the public eye. She said that after a visit to a plastic surgeon, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Mary went online and bought a vial of liquid silicone for $10 then injected it herself into her lips and cheek four weeks ago.

    “Insane. I can’t believe I did what I did,” she said. “I thought I was going to be happy with the results, then the next day, my face became very inflamed, very red, swollen.”

    Click below for the horrifying results. Warning…it ain’t pretty! Continue Reading…

    Did You Receive This Email (Again)? ~ Jewel Strong Update

    Jun, 25 2009 | Written by ATLien

    1

    Have you received this email recently about the missing 3 year old named Jewel Strong?

    Missing 3 year Old Girl

    You never know, who knows whom

    Another child missing.

    Please forward to everyone you know.

    Her family needs your help finding her.

    The email has been circulating for about 3 years now, beginning in 2006. It’s not a complete hoax,? little Jewel Strong (pictured above) was actually missing but not as the result of an abduction or runaway.? The Jonesboro tot, who was 3 years old in 2006, was vacationing along with her family in Panama City Beach.? The child and her 18 year old aunt were playing in a float in the water and were caught in strong currents.? Rescuers were able to rescue the aunt, but the 3 year old was swept under the water and could not be found.

    Over the course of several weeks, rescuers conducted an intensive search of the child by boat, divers and helicopter. Sadly they turned up nothing.? Little Jewel’s distraught parents held out hope that she was alive and well somewhere but all signs point to the small child drowning and being swept away by the strong currents.

    It’s a sad sad story that has developed over the course of these three years. The parents refused to give up hope and went through hell and high water to find their child. I did a lil internet research and compiled what’s been going on with the case all these years. If you got that email again today and are interested in Jewel’s story check it out below:

        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?
