    Media Mogul Oprah Winfrey was spotted recently in Beverly Hills, California after getting her brows snatched by her favorite archer, Anastasia.

    I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Winfrey was in Atlanta last week and was spotted at the CNN center attempting to grab lunch.? I’m still not sure what she was doing in town and am kinda pissed that she didn’t call me, but Miss O will be back in the “A” soon enough.

    Just last year, FLOTUS Michelle Obama addressed graduates of Spelman Collage (click HERE if you missed that) and now Winfrey has been officially been confirmed to deliver the commencement speech to graduating class of 2012.

    Oprah’s OWN Mistakes & Why She’ll Never Quit – CBS ‘This Morning’ Interview [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Apr, 2 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Media mogul Oprah Winfrey traded places and took on the role as guest on CBS This Morning.

    On the show, co-hosted by her BFF Gayle King, Winfrey admitted her mistake regarding the decision to create OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) and surprisingly…? she says if she had to do it all over again, she probably would NOT have done it!

    The idea of creating a network was something that I wanted to do. Had I known that it was this difficult, I might have done something else.

    I didn’t think it was going to be easy, but…if I knew then what I know now, I might have made different choices. If I were writing a book about it, I could call the book ‘101 Mistakes.’

    That doesn’t mean she’s quitting though…

        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?
