  • Michelle Obama: No Smoking, No Hair Dye & No Facebook… [VIDEO]

    Feb, 9 2011 | Written by ATLien

    First Lady Michelle Obama sat down with NBC’s Today Show host Matt Lauer Wednesday, where she addressed the president’s smoking habit and recent speculation about whether the he dyes his hair.

    The First Lady recently confirmed that Obama has indeed kicked his nasty 10 year smoking habit, stating that it’s been almost a year since he took a puff.

    She takes Lauer’s jokes about Obama sneaking cigarettes in Lincoln bedroom in stride and credits the strong women in his life for his success in quitting.

    Lauer also asks the First Lady “Is he dyeing his hair?” while showing her pictures snapped last month of the president’s coif.

    “No,” she replied. Obama then commented that her husband looked “pretty gray” in the images shown. “I think if he had known he would be president, he would have started dyeing his hair ten years ago,” she added.

    The First Lady also revealed that daughters Sasha, 9, and Malia, 12, are not on the the popular social networking site,?Facebook (Smart move!) and she offers words of encouragement to the nation’s struggling workforce.

    It’s Official! Uncle Luke Is Running for Mayor of Miami…

    Feb, 4 2011 | Written by ATLien

    A few weeks ago, I jokingly asked if you ever would cast your ballot for Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell to run your city.? Well now, if you’re a citizen of Miami, Florida you will have the chance to do just that.

    Uncle Luke has officially decided to run for mayor of MIAMI following the March 15th recall of current Mayor Carlos Alvarez. Campbell recently did an interview with The Miami New Times regarding his campaign strategy and why he feels he’s the best man for the job.

    Oh… and he’s including a tax on Miami strippers to his list of must haves! *sigh* I can’t with Luke. Not today…

    Check it what he has to say below: Continue Reading…

    Newsflash! President Barack Obama Dyes His Gray Hair…

    Jan, 21 2011 | Written by ATLien

    It’s no secret that this has been a rough presidency for Barack Obama and he has the gray hair to prove it. Recent before-and-after photos published by outlets including England’s Daily Mail online, Gawker and a number of print tabloids apparently illustrate a recent pronounced darkening of the president’s coif.

    Many have cataloged the before-and-after appearances of presidents past, and Obama and his staff have readily admitted he’s no different.

    “Change is hard,” Obama told the Urban League last summer. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed. That’s why I’ve got all this gray hair.”

    Well… not anymore!

    Check out these Before & After photos of President Obama below: Continue Reading…

    Indecent Proposal: Man Runs Nude in Front of Obama for a Million Bucks…

    Oct, 11 2010 | Written by ATLien

    There’s way too much going on at presidential rallies these days. Where the hell is security?? First a book gets thrown at President Barack Obama’s head… and then a butt naked man runs through the crowd.

    This all occurred at a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Sunday, which was attended by upwards of 17,000 people.

    The naked man, who was subsequently subdued by secret service agents (after he’d shed his clothes) is hoping to pocket a cool million dollars for his troubles.

    Apparently this stunt transpired after a dare and if billionaire Alki David is an honest man, he’s cutting a check right now.? According to TheWeeklyStandard:

    David is a billionaire shipping and bottling magnate who is known to carry out stunts, mainly by paying others to perform them. As the The Sun reported on August 17: “A WACKY billionaire has offered $1million (?638,700) to the first person who streaks in front of US President Barack Obama. Loaded Alki David has promised to pay out the cash ? providing the streaker writes the name of his website ‘Battlecam’ across their chest.”

    ?When I see the video and it?s confirmed…it won?t be check [that he sends], it will be cash,? David, reached by phone tonight, told THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

    The requirements of the streaking stunt, David told me, are that the streaker must have been within ?eye-shot and ear shot of the president, they have to scream the name ?battlecam.com? six times, and they have to be nude.?

    I wonder if he met all the requirements?

    Would you get naked for Obama for a million dollars?

    Was President Obama in Tag Team’s “Whoomp There It Is” Video?

    Jun, 10 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Leave it to you hip-hop internet geeks to come up with this ish! The pic above is a screen shot of what some people feel is a young Barack Obama chillin on the set of Tag Team’s “Whoomp There It Is” video!

    The president is and was a hip-hop fan, and the screen shot sorta looks like him… so it’s not that far fetched that he’d appear in a rap video cameo in his younger years…. or is it? 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?
