Best friends forever. That’s the theme of CeeLo Green’s new TBS reality show, CeeLo Green’s The Good Life, which will focus on the recent reunion of Goodie Mob, the Dirty South hip-hop group that first made Green famous back in the 1990s. During a panel and Q&A with the band and the show’s producers at Savannah College of Art and Design’s aTVfest Friday afternoon, Goodie Mob member Big Gipp summed up the message of their new show.

Hi. my name is Tony and . . . ahem . . . I’ve become addicted to the drama of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. I know I’m not alone. But aside from the guilty pleasure of following these fellow Atlantans through their music industry exploits, there is another reason to set your DVR to stun. While they haven’t hit Jay-Z status, the L&HHA guys are experts in love. As in: What to never, ever, ever do. Just in time, a Valentine’s Day primer.

The Walking Dead returns after a mid-season break. And our haiku recaps return, too. The Carl and Michonne / Go walkabout episode / Where's everyone else?

If you don’t get the Sportsman Channel (and even if your cable carries it, you still may not get it), you probably don’t know that onetime Braves star Chipper Jones has traded his bat and uniform for a compound bow and camo as star of outdoors show Major League Bowhunter. We immediately wondered how No. 10 would fare against two famous, if fictional, archers who shoot (arrows and film) in Georgia.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill are teaming up once again, but this time they are trading their comedy chops for something more serious.

Last Tuesday night, huddled behind the steering wheel in an overcoat, gloves and a hat, Buckhead Coalition president Sam Massell was gridlocked on Atlanta’s main artery, stuck in the slush with the rest of us. As his usual 16-minute Buckhead commute down Peachtree Road slid into an hour, Massell, 86, had time to reflect on half a century of metro Atlanta's mass transit maladies.

Starting Thursday, SCAD will kick off a celebration of all things television at their Atlanta campus with the 2nd annual aTVfest (not to be confused with an ATV fest—totally different thing).

Martin Luther King Jr.'s children are no strangers to the Fulton County courthouse. Their legal dramas have been the subject of news stories for years. In the latest wrangling, brothers Dexter and Martin, filed a complaint on Friday, asking their younger sister, Bernice, to turn over MLK's Nobel Peace Prize and his Bible.

BeltLine's Iron Column is simply the latest in a line of wrecking-ball rubble reassembled in an effort to preserve something of Atlanta’s bulldozed past.
