  • Quick Flix/Video ~ Whitney Houston Stumbles on Good Morning America

    Sep, 1 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Whitney Houston performed a recent live appearance in New York earlier this morning. The free show was held at Central Park?s Rumsey Playfield and was a pre-taping for ABC?s Good Morning America. Houston’s highly anticipated comeback CD, I Look To You, dropped today as well and the live show was attended by at least 4,000 fans, some of whom had been in line since the previous night.? Some fans were sadly disappointed in the performance as Whitney’s voice cracked during one song and she was also out of breath. Whitney apologized, and basically blamed Oprah for her voice (or lack thereof):

    Houston certainly looked the part this afternoon, dressed in a one-piece outfit and beaming with energy as she ran on to the stage just after 12 p.m., but as her band kicked in with the Alicia Keys-co-written new single ?Million Dollar Bill,? her voice began to crack and she sounded out of breath halfway through the track. It was a trend that continued throughout her 1998 hit ?My Love Is Your Love? which also featured a brief cameo by her daughter Bobbi Kristina.

    After taking a break to towel off and adjust her makeup, Houston appeared to choke up during an emotional version of ?I Look To You,? which she delivered directly to her mother Cissy, who watched from the side of the stage. Following another brief side-of-stage break, the six-time Grammy winner apologized to the crowd for her voice and explained that she had recorded her forthcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey yesterday.

    I guess that explains GMA’s decision to pre-tape the “LIVE” performance…

    Chris Brown Lied…He Remembers the Incident + Larry King LIVE Preview #2

    Sep, 1 2009 | Written by ATLien

    cbrown3

    Chris Brown released a statement regarding the 30 second snippet of his upcoming Larry King LIVE interview that was released recently.? In that interview, Chris is asked if he remembers beating Rihanna and he says “No,” well now he has admitted he lied on his memory:

    ?There have been reports on the internet that I didn?t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.

    That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times ? and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.

    The first four times ? or how ever many times it was ? I gave the same answer ? which was that I didn?t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn?t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time ? or whatever it was ? I just misspoke. I was asked, ?Do you remember doing it?? and I said, ?No.?

    Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can?t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before.

    As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can?t. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future.?

    Another snippet of the upcoming interview under the cut: Continue Reading…

    Larry King Live Preview: ~ Chris Brown Says He Doesn’t Remember Beating Rihanna

    Aug, 31 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Chris Brown15

    In a pre-taped “LIVE” interview, Chris Brown sat down with CNN’s Larry King for a no holds barred interview about the night he beat up Rihanna. Chris, joined in the studio by his mother and his attorney, Mark Garagos, candidly discusses the night that forever changed his life. Craziest thing about this snippet is that Chris states that he doesn’t remember a thing about that fateful night. Is he suffering from blackouts now or is that just something his attorney advised him to say?

    NF2Photos by KodakBoi

    Frankie & Neffe held a viewing party last night for the premiere episode of their new BET reality show “The Frankie & Neffe Show.”?? Frankie was her normal subdued self and Neffe glowed as her boo Soullow stood by her side.? I was invited out but didn’t get a chance to catch the episode cause I was so busy staring at all the beautiful people. Especially Neffe’s BFF/stylist, Dariel and all his fabulous friends.? I’ve never seen so many pretty men in makeup in one spot…they had the joint on lock!

The two former Xscape bandmates are still great friends (despite what you may have heard) and both have recently ventured into the world of reality television. Tiny’s “The Tiny & Toya Show” on BET is way better than most expected, giving us an up close and personal look into her family life alongside hitmaker T.I.? Kandi came in as a Freshman to a crew of Seniors on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and has been catching mad flack about her relationship with a fiance’ who already has 6 kids.

        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?
