    Meet baby Blue Ivy Carter!

    About 24 hours before the baby?s big HBO debut, a still from the 10-second interaction was leaked on the social networking site Twitter and instantly became a top retweet.

    In the shot (pictured above), Beyonce proudly holds adorable 13 month old baby Blue, who is clad in a white crochet sundress. Beyonc?, her hair in braids, smiles from ear to ear as she glances at her pride and joy.Blue Ivy 3

    The “Halo” singer hits cable this weekend with a documentary on HBO entitled, “Life Is But a Dream.” In it, Bey reveals her pregnant belly to squash those persistent rumors she faked her pregnancy and had a surrogate carry her daughter.

    In one scene, before she announced she was expecting at the 2011 VMAs, Beyonc? tells the camera,

    “So this is my belly and I’m 20 weeks ? if you can see that I’m pregnant I’m just going to have to own it! My baby may be debuting itself on the awards.”

    Prior to her HBO Documentary airing, Queen B also hits Oprah’s OWN network with an appearance on “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”

    Twitpic of the Day ~ Oprah Takes L.A. + Heads to Atlanta This Fall…

    Jul, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    As you know, Miss O recently named herself as CEO and Chief Creative Officer of OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network) and she recently took a moment out of her busy schedule to update fans of her whereabouts via the social networking site Twitter:

    The move expanded on Oprah’s former role as chairman of the channel, she is “officially” scheduled to begin in her new position sometime this Fall

    Speaking of Fall, Miss O will be making her way to Atlanta mid-October for a day filled with panels and workshops specifically designed to encourage you to be your best!

    Oprah will hit Atlanta ctober 15, 2011 for her ?O You!? workshop, an all-day event held at the Georgia World Congress Center.

    Winfrey will be speaking during the event, as well as Gayle King, Suze Orman, Dr. Oz, Bob Greene, Nate Berkus and more.

    Tickets are $125, so if you’re in the need for some Oprah motivation, you need to make your way on down to the congress center.

    Me? I’m still utilizing the energy I received from Miss O during our mystical handshake at the end of her Oprah Show finale. I’m still floating from that day but who knows? I may float on down there too…

    Click HERE for more info on Oprah’s ATL event.

    I really miss watching Oprah everyday at 4pm… it’s just not the same in the afternoons without her! Have you been suffering from Oprah withdrawals too or have you not even noticed she was gone?

    Oprah Winfrey Wants You to Know…

    May, 27 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Welp… The final episode of Oprah Show has come and gone (click HERE if you missed it) and now we’re all left to fend for ourselves everyday at 4pm.

    After a successful 25 year run, Oprah’s final episode was her highest rated episode of the hit daytime talk show in more than 17 years. Coming 2nd only to a 1994 episode called “People Shed Their Disguises”.

    I don’t know about you, but it feels weird not to have an option to watch Oprah in the afternoon. There seems to be collective sense of loss and emptiness now that the talk show staple is no longer on air.

    During her final talk show episode, Oprah gave fans an email address to reach her [[email protected]] and assured everyone that she would be reading and reaching out.

    Well… as expected, Oprah told the truth!

    Miss O sent out a message yesterday to all of us who utilized her email. She specifically addressed all of y’all who are feeling sad about the end of an era and in typical Oprah fashion, left you with a few words of wisdom.

    I hear so many of you saying you’re sad to see the show leave.
    Instead of sadness, I hope you will channel the energy of hopefulness you received from the show in whatever form it gave to you.

    Read Oprah’s message in it’s entirety below: Continue Reading…

    Newsflash! Oprah Says She Can’t Save The Soaps… [VIDEO]

    Apr, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    By now you’ve heard about the cancellation of long running soap operas “All My Children and One Life to Live.”

    Soap fans of the canceled shows have apparently been bombarding Oprah Winfrey with messages to save the shows…? so much so, that Miss O released a video addressing why she ‘can?t dayum save everybody!!!’

    [Sidebar: those are my words not hers… 😆 ]


    Believe me, if there was a dime left to made from them on broadcast television it would still be happening.

    And so because all good things come to an end, and all things have their time… as do the soaps… as does The Oprah Winfrey Show, I will not be taking on the responsibility of trying to revive an institution that for all intent and all purpose indicates that time has come for it to be over.

    So thank you for believing I could save them. But I really can?t.

    Talk Show Bunion Battle: Wendy Williams vs. Oprah Winfrey [PHOTOS]

    Apr, 5 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Wendy Williams and Oprah Winfrey are worlds apart in the talk show world, but apparently their “footwork” is quite similar.

    Wendy is currently participating on ABC’s ballroom dancing show, Dancing with the Stars.

    While I haven’t kept up with this season, it’s impossible to ignore all the chatter about the talk show host’s ‘less than stellar’ dance moves.

    During downtime, Wendy walks around the DWTS studios in outfits like this, but that’s not the problem.

    Apparently her feet that may be to blame!

    Wendy recently sent out a photo of her damaged tree stumps and I’m just speechless…. 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?
