    Pic of The Day: Nene Leakes Supports Ex #RHOA Castmate Kim Zolciak-Biermann at ‘Dancing With The Stars’… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Sep, 22 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Kim Zolciak Nene Leakes 1

    Former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ cast mates Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Nene Leakes reunited during Dancing With The Stars last night (September 21, 2015).

    Zolciak-Biermann miraculous rebounded during her second week of performances Monday night with a quickstep that got her and partner Tony Dovolani a total of 19 out of 30. kim zolciak biermann dwts

    [Sideber: Not the worst score of the night, but much better than her first week, where Kim came in dead last!]

    Kim said it takes her “a minute” to form a connection, but once she did with Tony, they were able to relax and work on their dance moves.

    “I think letting go has been a struggle and I just danced tonight like nobody was watching,” Kim said.

    “I saw NeNe out there and I told her, ‘You bitch! You did not text me and tell me how hard this was. You’re evil.’

    Sep, 21 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Tammy McCall Browning 2

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s 8th season hasn’t even started yet, but the net is abuzz nonetheless about it’s brand new additions.

    Just last week the group shot above was released that revealed a new addition to the cast (click HERE if you missed that).

    I speculated that the new chick could be actress Tammy McGarity, but in fact she’s been identified as another ‘Tammy’… Tammy McCall Browning.

    EXCLUSIVE: #RHOA Apollo Nida’s Jailhouse Pen-Pal Speaks Out! (Who is She? + Why Did She Write Him?)

    Sep, 16 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Jessica Germaine

    Jessica Germaine, the woman who Apollo Nida requested money from in a letter from prison, is speaking out and wants her ‘5 minutes’!

    It was only about a week ago that Apollo Nida, the jailed spouse of The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Phaedra Parks, was in the news again after his female ‘pen-pal’ attempted to put him on blast.

    If you missed that, a woman sent Nida a book to read and he responded, asking her to send him money.? She then responded to him that she’d rather put money into her daughter’s savings and he responded that he would pray for her a ‘financial windfall’… I’m paraphrasing but you get the drift.

    [READ: The Thirst! Apollo Nida Collecting Pen-Pals & Payments in Prison… (PHOTOS)]

    Whatever the case, Jessica Germaine, recently contacted me and wants to set the record straight about the situation.

    Apparently y’all made Jessica feel ‘some kinda way’ in your online comments about her decision to write Apollo in the first and she feels the need to respond to all the backlash.? Germaine states in her long response that she is not ‘thirsty’ or out to gain attention. She even claims that she never watched a single episode RHOA and was not a fan of Apollo Nida’s.phaedra parks

    Germaine claims her intentions were pure but since she’s got your attention, she’s got some things to say. (It’s a very long read, but that’s what the internet is for… right?)

    #RHOA Season 8 Cast Tea: Transgender Model Amiyah Scott is NOT an Atlanta ‘Housewife’ + Kim Fields Returns… [PHOTOS]

    Aug, 18 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Amayah Scott 1

    A rumor has spread like wildfire that transgender model Amiyah Scott will be a brand new addition to The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    As you know, it’s the 8th season for the popular reality show and they are taking on a few new faces in light of losing their star player, Nene Leakes.

    With Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn combined with ex- ‘housewife’ Sheree Whitfield‘s return to the show (she’s been mistaken for a drag queen on more than one occasion — CLICK HERE if you missed that), many assume that now is the perfect time to add a real live LGBT ‘housewife’.

    While it’s true that producers have been scrambling to find exciting story lines, sadly, Amiyah won’t be holding a peach.

    You want the REAL tea about Amiyah Scott joining RHOA?? Well here it is….

    In The Tweets: Nene Leakes Spills #RHOA Season 8 Tea! Who’s Got A Fake Boyfriend??

    Aug, 6 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Nene Leakes 2015 5

    Veteran ‘housewife’ Nene Leakes hit the tweets recently to spill a bit of tea online about one of her former castmates.

    Season 8 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is being taped as I type and Leakes seems to feel that the producers have enlisted an unnamed cast member for a bit of tomfoolery.

    Nene started her rant last night with her signature line….

    And she goes on to insinuate that SOMEONE has ‘hired’ a boyfriend for next season!

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
