  • Tyler Perry Wants You To Know… [Films With All Black Casts Will Soon Be Extinct]

    Jan, 23 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Mega producer Tyler Perry recently wrote an open letter in support of George Lucas’ “Red Tails” film.

    Lucas has gone on record to state that he had trouble getting funding for the film due to it’s all Black cast and he fears that it’s failure could cause negative repercussions to Black filmmakers like Perry.

    “I realize that by accident I’ve now put the black film community at risk [with Red Tails, whose $58 million budget far exceeds typical all-black productions],” he said.

    “I’m saying, if this doesn’t work, there’s a good chance you’ll stay where you are for quite a while. It’ll be harder for you guys to break out of that [lower-budget] mold. But if I can break through with this movie, then hopefully there will be someone else out there saying let’s make a prequel and sequel, and soon you have more Tyler Perrys out there.” (WATCH VIDEO)

    Perry agrees…. and says in his letter that films starring an all black cast are on the verge of being extinct!

    Tyler Perry Wants You To Know… [Response to Kim Kardashian Haters]

    Nov, 17 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Tyler Perry sent out a mass email yesterday to address all the controversy and hate he’s been getting surrounding his decision to cast Kim Kardashian for a role in his new film, “The Marriage Counselor”.

    Black actresses aren’t happy and many fans have expressed their disappointment about the situation. Some have even threatened to boycott the film if TP doesn’t boot Kim K from the project.

    Well Tyler wants all his disgruntled customers to know that they’ve been hard and now can he wants a moment to speak…

    I think many of you know that this is a very difficult time of year for me, so what I try to do is make sure that I?m working during this time. All I wanted to do was shoot a great film and try to keep my mind off the holiday grief that I have been experiencing for the past two years. I could not have imagined I?d be getting all these emails about Kim Kardashian. I HAVE SEEN THEM!! YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD!! ?LOL.

    Now, may I say something? Can a brother get a word in??.LOL. Y?all gave me a new movie title, Tyler Perry?s ?Diary of a Mad Black Woman Cause You Hired Kim Kardashian, Don?t Make Me Take Off My Earrings and Boycott Yo A**.??LOL. Some of my ladies are upset.

    Ok, all jokes aside, can I have my say? Will you at least here me out? Continue Reading…

    Nov, 16 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Actress Holly Robinson Peete is best known for her dramatic efforts on 21 Jump Street and Hangin? With Mr. Cooper, so she should know a thing or two about being a black actress in Hollywood. Right?

    The actress, who hilariously chose Lil Wayne as this year’s Halloween costume, appeared with her three kids for the premiere of “Happy Feet” at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on November 13, 2011 in Hollywood, California.

    Holly is all smiles in the photos, but in a recent interview, Holly gives her 2cents about Tyler Perry?s decision to cast Kim Kardashian in his latest film, The Marriage Counselor.

    It’s LIGHTS OUT For Tyler Perry & He’s Ready to ‘Whoop Some Azz’! [VIDEO]

    Nov, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Super producer Tyler Perry was NOT a happy camper when the lights in his southwest Atlanta area studio abruptly went off in the midst of a busy work day.

    Perry was smack dab in the middle of filming for his new TBS show “For Better or For Worse” when a “blackout” occurred and he and his film crew had been patiently waiting for the power to resume.

    After an hour or so without lights, the media mogul hilariously decides to call the Georgia Power company to complain about the situation.

    Perry initially gets caught in a loop as he battles with the dreaded automated answering system, but then gets transferred to a live person only after getting frustrated and threatening to ‘whoop some “A”zz’!

    He’s Tyler Perry dammit!! And he knows he paid that dayum light bill….

    Tyler Perry Fans Protest Kim Kardashian Addition to “Marriage Counselor” Cast…

    Nov, 10 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Well… Kim Kardashian has landed in Atlanta and it seems she’s brought a ton of controversy with her.

    As I reported a few weeks back, Kim K. was cast in?Tyler Perry’s upcoming movie, “The Marriage Counselor” and she recently arrived on set to film a few of her scenes.

    While a few readers here at StraightFromTheA.com made it known they felt some kinda way about Kim’s addition to the cast, I had no idea that it was the overall consensus.

    Apparently many of Perry?s fans feel the same and want the reality show starlit booted from the project, so much so… that some have threatened a boycott!!

    Tyler Perry Shares Inspirational Message: ‘Sometimes You’re Meant to Be Hidden’… [VIDEO]

    Oct, 26 2011 | Written by ATLien

    I’ve been stressing a whole lot lately about “the blawg” (as I call it in my country slang) and about 10 days ago Tyler Perry‘s inspirational email hit my inbox.

    In this segment of “Inspirational Corner,” which TP posts his website and sends in a newsletter to his many fans and followers, he says “maybe you’re being hidden on purpose”.

    A friend of mind called me up and said, ‘you’re contageous’… I’m gonna start my own business

    The Bible says ‘never despise small beginnings’. There are things that happen out of the smallest little start that can change the world.

    He was telling me how frustrated he was how nobody notices him… nobody sees him… how nobody will give him a break. And I explained to him about how, even in my own life,? how sometimes, people are out there pushing, there out there trying to be seen, they’re doing all this stuff… sometimes God will hide you.

    Video below: 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. 👽🛸

        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?
