  • Tyler Perry Raises Millions For President Obama During Atlanta Fundraisers… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Mar, 19 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Atlanta welcomed President Barack Obama as he arrived for a campaign fundraiser hosted by Tyler Perry last Friday evening (March 16, 2012).

    Perry held an event at his Tyler Perry Studios, located on Greenbriar Parkway in Atlanta, where ticket prices ranged from $250 to $10,000.

    Hundreds of Obama supporters lined the streets of my old southwest Atlanta stomping grounds for hours as they waited for a glimpse of the president and/or any other notable celebs.

    Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, U.S. Representatives John Lewis, David Scott, Hank Johnson and Sanford Bishop, along with Rev. Joseph Lowery were among the 1,000 people who attended.

    If Tyler Perry Still Has a Wig, Madea Still Has a Job!

    Feb, 21 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Bump whatcha heard… Tyler Perry hasn’t given up on Madea, his grey haired money maker. In fact, she’s alive and well and once she gets her new wig in the mail, she’ll be back better than ever!

    Critics have long prayed for the day that Madea would be a distant memory, and while Perry grew tired of Madea’s moo-moo’s back in 2010, she was revived a year later in the film “One Big Happy Family”.

    When Tyler found a woman to love and began speaking of marriage & kids, hell even I thought it was lights out for the pistol packin’ granny! And after TP cast himself as leading man in his newest film, “Good Deeds,” whoodathought he’d EVER do drag again?

    [PHOTOS: Tyler Perry & Gabrielle Union & More Attend “Good Deeds” L.A. Premiere]

    Well guess what? Madea ain’t dead yet! In fact… she was simply “retired,” but as long as there’s a wig out there to fit TP’s big head, Madea still has a job! Hallelu-yerrrr!?

    Feb, 18 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Whitney Houston‘s 4 hour homegoing service was held Saturday, February 18, 2012 and attended by an invitation-only crowd that was limited to family and friends.

    While New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ was filled with friends, family and celebrities, Houston’s funeral services were watched around the world: as it was streamed online live and shown on a number of television networks.

    Houston’s funeral is slated to begin at 9 a.m. Pacific at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J. — the late pop titan’s childhood church.

    Houston?s ex-husband, Bobby Brown was asked to leave just minutes into the services (click HERE for details) but among those attending were Houston’s ?Bodyguard? co-star Kevin Costner, cousin Dionne Warwick, Tyler Perry, Ray J, Brandy, Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, BeBe and CeCe Winans, and of course her daughter Bobbi Kristina and mother Cissy Houston.

        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?
