    It seems Usher Raymond‘s furry ‘new look’ may have ruffled a few feathers!

    Usher 1You may have noticed that Usher has been sporting some furry new headgear recently that has created some stiff competition for Pharrell William’s grammy look.

    The sexy crooner premiered his ‘Davy Crocket’ racoon type hat on the set of The Tonight Show studios in New York City, last Monday but just hours after his photograph hit the net, PETA pounced!

    Wanna See Wendy Williams Naked? (PHOTOS)

    Nov, 30 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Talk show host Wendy Williams has taken it ALL OFF for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

    [READ: Janet Jackson Disses PETA! Named New “Legendary” Face of Fur (PHOTOS)]

    The media maven follows the footsteps of other celebs such as Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame (who went naked for PETA last year) and Chad OchoCinco Johnson (who experienced a PETA blooper a few years back), as she proudly unveiled her new “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” PETA ads Wednesday (November 28, 2012) in Times Square.

    [FLASHBACK: Bare Naked Celebrities Take It All Off For PETA! (PHOTOS)]

    Williams, who once proudly wore expensive minks and fox fur, has had a change of heart after PETA informed her of the cruel ways in which animals are raised and killed for their fur.

    Holiday shoppers in NYC got an eyefull as they gazed at Williams’ newly slim bod, covered in nothing but her artfully placed long luxurious lacefront hair.

    Angela Simmons Goes NUDE for PETA… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Sep, 27 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Rev Run’s daughter Angela Simmons sheds all of her designer gear to endorse PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

    In the ?Adam and Eve? styled shoot, Simmons, who was recently spotted canoodling with her former boo Bow-Wow,? holds an apple to signify her new vegan lifestyle.

    While many celebs have bared it all to join in on PETA’s “Ink not Mink” campaign, the Pastry co-founder goes nude in the latest ad to convince the world that eating meat is a SIN. [insert side-eye]

    Hopefully I?ll be a vegan in a couple of years, but I?m taking it one step at a time. My uncle inspired me to become a vegetarian, a vegan, when I was young.I tried to be a vegetarian and I couldn?t do it because I was in a family that ate so much meat.

    But I finally made the change and it?s been like a year and a half now and I?m pretty proud of myself.

    No word yet on what the Reverend has to say about the photos (or the meat eating sinners thing), but Angela definitely looks pretty in the pics.

    More photos + Angela explains her decision to join the PETA movement in the video below: Continue Reading…

    Waka Flocka Goes Nude for PETA’s “Ink Not Mink” Campaign… [Behind the Scenes Photos + Video]

    Feb, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Waka Flocka Flame is the new face of PETA’S “Ink Not Mink” campaign and says he decided to get involved in animal rights because of his family dog, Rose Antney, who was named after his mother Deb.

    “I don’t want anybody to beat my dog, scare my dog or whip my dog,” he tells RumorFix exclusively, adding that he thought PETA was the perfect group to work with after spending sometime researching them.

    RumorFix shot a bit of behind-the-scenes video of Waka’s photo shoot, where he stripped down naked and proudly displayed his tatted up beer belly for the PETA cameras:


    Waka Flocka Flame might keep it real in his music, but he urges fans to go with the faux when it comes to fur. “Animals should be treated the same as you would a kid,” he told reporters. “Would you want someone just to walk up and skin your kid? Hell, no!”

        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?

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?
