  • ATL Housewives Celebrate Cynthia Bailey’s THE BAILEY AGENCY: School of Fashion Launch… [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Real “Housewife” of Atlanta/Supermodel Cynthia Bailey celebrated the grand opening of her dream come true.

    Cynthia recently held a launch party for her school of fashion, where she confirmed plans to partner with colleague Marcus Jackson of CALIBER Enterprises (a fashion, event and talent management consulting company).

    Coined “The Bailey Agency,” the school is Cynthia’s personal vision for an instructional program that will offer students an intense 6-week course covering all areas of the fashion industry including modeling, photography and production.

    The launch party drew the attention of fashion industry vets throughout Atlanta, such as designer Mychael Knight and celebrity photographer Derek Blanks and was also taped for an upcoming episode of the The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    That being said, you already know each and every one of the Atlanta “housewives” were in the building (even rumored “newbie” /ex-convict Marlo Hampton) to celebrate the launch and mug it up for the cameras!

    Cute couple 🙂

    Mugshot Mania ~ RHOA?s Peter Thomas Found NOT GUILTY on Battery Charges? Explains

    Jun, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Lawd knows I loves me some Peter Thomas (who I saw recently during ATL Live on the Park), so imagine my surprise yesterday when my good twitter friend Bravolebrity1 clued me in on Peter’s recent legal issues.

    Apparently Peter was in an Atlanta court earlier this week addressing charges that he assaulted a female employee of his now defunct Uptown Nightclub.

    A quick search revealed two mugshots for the chocolate Casanova aka Real Atlanta Housewife Cynthia Bailey’s Hubby.??

    The first was from an April 2008 arrest in which Peter was arrested for Simple Battery. He was released the same day after posting $1,000 bond and charges were later dropped in that case.

    The second mugshot was from the incident on December 3, 2009 when he was arrested in Atlanta for Simple Battery and Battery with visible harm. Peter was released the same day of the arrest after posting $2,000 bond and appeared in court this week (Monday, June 20, 2011) to face his accuser and former employee.

    Peter was originally facing up to a year in prison if convicted but he has confirmed that he was found NOT GUILTY of all charges.

    Peter’s explanation below: Continue Reading…

    May, 16 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Sheree Whitfield, Tameka Raymond, Q Parker, NEXT, Fonzworth Bentley, former Falcons Bob Whitfield & Jamal Anderson were just a few of the hometown faves spotted at ATL Live On The Park last week.

    Tameka Foster Glover Raymond, ATLien (Michelle Brown) & Sheree’ Whitfield

    Overheard: “You just posed between two of the most notorious “exes” in Atlanta…”

    And yes… Tameka is still yappin about me not liking her but I coulda sworn I forgave her about that death threat when we had that long “A”zz conversation at Essence last year. But I digress…

    Event producers Shanti Das and Marlon Nichols did a wonderful job bring together over 300 Atlanta tastemakers and music industry insiders to celebrated the One-Year Anniversary of the event, held at Park Tavern in midtown.

    Heralded as the most exclusive live music showcase in the city author/musician Fonzworth Bentley wowed the crowd with his expertly choreographed routine and R&B group NEXT reunited as headliners of the hot show.

    When RL spotted 112’s Q Parker sitting in the audience alongside his wife Sherlinda, he handed him the mic urging him to sing a few bars.

    Q first sung a lick while sitting but soon hit the stage, giving the hyped crowed a brief 112 flashback…

    But wait!!! There’s more…. Continue Reading…

    Quick Quotes: Cynthia Bailey’s Hubby Peter Thomas Puts Em’ All On Blast…

    Feb, 1 2011 | Written by ATLien

    The last time I saw Cynthia Bailey’s hubby Peter Thomas (aka “Uncle Ben” (c) Freshalina) was at Kandi Burruss’ “Kandi Koated” album release party. I was shocked when Peter walked up to me, kissed me on the cheek and told me he was “taking a break from being an “A”zzhole.”?

    I guess after all the drama of Season 3, Peter was feeling like he had been portrayed as the bad guy and wanted to relax and smile for a while.

    Well guess what? Break time is over and Peter is back on the clock!

    In an exclusive interview with Upscale Magazine, Peter reveals his true feelings about each and every one of the Atlanta Housewives.

    He even throws in a few jabs at the men in pumps who frequently appear alongside the women on the show.

    All I know is… Peter didn’t hold his tongue. Check out what he had to say below: 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?
