    Toni Braxton and Baby Face 2
    The 2013 Soul Train Awards is being taped in Las Vegas, and as expected, the red carpet arrivals were quite entertaining.

    Toni Braxton and Babyface 1Spotted taking a stroll down the red carpet were Toni Braxton and Babyface, who many feel were a bit too close for comfort considering Babyface has a wife and kids. But they clearly have an album to promote, so let the chatter begin.

    So here’s my list of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from the Soul Train Awards Red Carpet:

    The Good: Vivica Fox, Ashanti, Chaka Khan (who looks dayum good for her age!) and Ruben Studdard (who dropped a ton of weight since his divorce).

    The Bad: ?Jennifer Hudson look very uncomfortable in her itty bitty mini and?Lil Mama’s entire ensemble! ?And to think, I gave her so much credit for those Derek Blanks images I posted yesterday!

    Boris Kodjoe Responds to Cheating Rumors…

    Apr, 27 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Boris Kodjoe & Nicole Ari-Parker appear to be the perfect couple. So much so, that I was shocked when my very credible source presented this story to me about his connection to Sandra Lopez aka “Plastic Surgery” on VH1’s Basketball Wives reality show.

    [READ: “Plastic Surgery” from VH1’s Basketball Wives has an Atlanta Connection]

    Lopez has been linked to several athletes as well as a few hip-hop heads and is fast becoming the next SUPERHEAD. The big question is… are the tales fact or fiction?

    After I posted the rumor and the photograph of Lopez and Boris that started tongues wagging, a discussion ensued via the social networking site Twitter and Boris quickly responded to clear up any misunderstandings: 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. 👽🛸

        🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still clo 🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still closed as of today *Nov 7, 2025! 

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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
