    I Love Me Some Him…

    Aug, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    main-12

    Y’all know I loves me some Jay Jenkins right?? Well, Young Jeezy is out on the road for the Young Money Tour and I miss him terribly. I’ve been slackin on my Jeezy posts specifically cause I’m still a lil salty about him gallivanting around town with his new boo...but I’ve got a few more players on the bench so it’s all good. 😆

    While on the road, Jeezy took the opportunity to sign a few pairs of Adidas sneaks for the fans during a stop in New York. Check out the video:

    Jeezy also brought out a surprise guest during his stop in Cleveland:

    LeBron!

    1st he was Mr Summer Jam hes always Mr Birthday Bash. so its only fitting that when we stopped for the America’s Most wanted in Cleveland that Young Jeezy Brought out Lebron James during his set. When Lebron came out the crowd already going wild for jeezy took it to another level. ~ Thaddeus McAdams of Exclusive Access

    Photo via Twitter

    Robert Ector, an Atlanta photographer who’s also linked to one of my personal favs, Derek Blanks, hit to big leagues by working a magical photoshoot with Tameka Foster Glover Raymond.? I know that I’ll be stopped in the streets of the “A” and accused of being biased if I don’t post these but truth be told, I was gonna post them anyway….I’ve just been busy!

    Those of you who know me are well aware that I always give credit where credit is due and Rob….DUDE…You did this ish!! I’ve never seen such an astounding transformation in a photo. Tameka’s almost unrecognizable!

    Flix ~ Monica’s “Still Standing” Finale + New Music ~ “Let Me Know” ft. Missy Elliott

    Aug, 3 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Monica filmed the finale of her upcoming reality show “Still Standing” last weekend. I’m so excited for her! She’s worked hard on this upcoming cd and from what I’ve heard, it’s going to be hawt!? Mo is on artist that I personally STAN for, for no other reason than her authenticity. She is the real deal and her fans know it. In discussing her new album, Mo states:

    ?I just wanted to thank everyone for all the love everyone gives me, a lot of celebrities get it twisted and forget it?s the fans who make them…”

    Monica held an up close & personal private concert for the final filming. Bryan-Michael Cox, Mia X, Yung Joc and more all showed support for our hometown diva. Check out a few flix below:

    Jul, 30 2009 | Written by ATLien

    People Big BoiSeems as thought my boo has been cheatin on me! Twaaaaan…say it ain’t so!

    Photo by Garth Vaughan/Walt Disney Co.

    Big Boi was spotted chillin with Minnie Mouse during his vacay at Disney World. You betta watch your back Twan, I heard Mickey is a jealous mofo! 😆 It seems as though Big Boi is getting some much needed R&R before hitting the promo track for the release of his highly anticipated solo project, “Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty”. The first single from the upcoming album, Royal Flush, was released March 2008 and the second single is “Sumthin’s Gotta Give” featuring Mary J. Blige.

    I think this is the cutest photo ever! A-town meets Magic Kingdom…Love it! Mad props to Freshalina for the heads up on the pic!

    Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2 Premiere Party

    The premier party for the Real Housewives of Atlanta was held at the W Hotel. Lisa Wu Hartwell stole the show in her bright green dress and freshly beat face! The premier party was packed and although everybody seemed to be in good spirits, NeNe & Kandi rarely came within a few feet of one another, except for during photo ops! After hearing THIS blow-up over at MissJia.com, I can see why. Just messy! NeNe also took the time to share with anyone who would listen plans for the release of her upcoming book, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, which is scheduled for release in August.

        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?
