Young Jeezy was the man of the hour at The Velvet Room on Christmas Day. ?Jay Jenkins partied like it was 1999, with blunts and ladies in tow. Shoot…there wasn’t a dry cup in the building and judging from the pics Jeezy was feelin Reeeeal good! The special guest for the night was Jeezy’s ex-boo, Keyshia Cole, who sat quietly in the V.I.P. and posed demurely for photos. ?

When I saw these pics, I wondered what it was like for the two former lovebirds to share the limelight at a party. I miss these two together and I, for one, am rooting for a re-up! I dunno if they had issues that night or not, but Jeezy was definitely in OVERDRIVE! Dontcha just love it when pictures tell a great story. 🙂 More pics:

Flix ~ Monica Throws Rocko “Surprise” Birthday Bash, Addresses Wedding Rumors + T.I. Crashes The Party

Dec, 29 2008 | Written by ATLien

Monica threw her fianc?, Rocko, a huge birthday party at Straits Restaurant in Atlanta. The spot, owned by Mo’s cousin Chistopher Ludacris Bridges was packed wall to wall with all of the couple’s celebrity friends.

Derek Blanks, Shawty Lo and his wife, D.Woods, Kandi Buress (xscape), Jerry Clark (island def jam), Sheree Whitfield, Paster Troy, Young Ralph, Yung Joc, Jazze Pha….hell, even Dekalb County CEO Vernon Jones popped in for a piece of cake! I went, thinking that the birthday bash was going to be Monica & Rocko’s wedding reception. I’m sure you noticed that I still referred to Rocko as Monica’s fiance…well, that’s because the two haven’t eloped and I was angry for nothing. Monica cleared up the ‘secret wedding’ rumor and stated that B. Cox referring to her as Rocko’s wife is not unusual. They don’t think of her as his ‘baby momma’ and it’s a respect thing. Plus, she added that Bryan has been privy to intimate details of their plans for the big day.

The two lovebirds sat like the king and queen of the ‘A’ at the head of a table full of their friends and family but one self proclaimed king must have been home alone a bit too long cause he made a surprise visit to escort his queen home. Continue Reading…

Alex Gidewon’s The Gidewon Foundation and T.I.’s K.I.N.G. Foundation joined forces to bring a bit of holiday cheer to 300+ underpriviledged kids from the Atlanta area. The 4th Annual Christmas Holiday For Kids event was held at the Cascade Skating rink yesterday and all were treated to a day of celebration which included skating, games, music, food, clothes, and toy giveaways.

?With the state of the economy, I?m glad I?m able to continue in my efforts with providing a Christmas experience for children that would not have one otherwise. It really means a lot to me to be able to put a smile on a child?s face,? states Gidewon.

Check out a few flix from the event:

T.I. Covers Rap Up Magazine’s 2008/2009 Winter Issue

Dec, 19 2008 | Written by ATLien

?T.I. co-covers the Winter 2008/2009 isssue of Rap Up Magazine. He co-covers the issue with Christina Milian and addresses winning awards and how his kids are going to handle his upcoming prison sentence:

On winning awards:
?No disrespect to Kanye, but that kinda stuff just don?t mean nothing to me. Whether or not I win an award, I mean that?s nice, but at the end of the day I understand that I?m a man. What being a man means to me is not defined by an award or an amount of records sold.?

On how his children are going to deal with his time in prison:
?My oldest is 12?she understands. She?s strong and smart. The three weeks I was in, before I got to come home, she said to me, ?Don?t worry. I?ll hold things down ?til you get back.? I?m more worried about how my boys are going to deal.?
