Kids… they grow up so fast!
It seems like it was just yesterday that the son of musician Lil Jon (a.k.a Jonathan Mortimer Smith) was just a lil kid sitting on his dad’s lap at the basketball game, now 12 year old Nathan Smith is making music just like his daddy…
AND he has a career in modeling!

The Atlanta music series ATL Live on the Park was held last night at Park Tavern and if you FOLLOW ME on Twitter, you may have noticed my series of #awkwardmoment tweets…
You’ve probably never seen a “Sean Garrett” post on SFTA and I wasn’t going to do one this time.
That is… until Gyant used my “Awkward Moment” tweets as inspiration for an open letter to Garrett…. and well, I couldn’t have said it better myself. *sigh*
Rumor has it that Bishop Eddie Long’s wife, Vanessa, left him but the church says she’s standing by her man.
New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Spokesman Art Franklin, said they chose NOT to respond to the ?rumors? but now has issued a statement to dispel them.
The church released a statement saying the rumor was ignored because the church is focusing on doing God?s work, but ?many people can?t discern the difference between legitimate journalists and irresponsible bloggers.?
“Mrs. Long has not moved out and is very much a loving, dedicated and committed wife and mother.”
“It is unfortunate that anyone would make such hateful and damaging false claims of this nature. These cruel and insensitive rumors have the potential to cause immeasurable pain and suffering. Those involved should feel obligated to retract their earlier statements,?
[Sidebar: I’d rather be an authentic “irresponsible blogger” than a hypocritical “man of God”…. but maybe that’s just me.]

Bishop Eddie Long?s Sex Scandal Causing Job Layoffs at New Birth?
Really New Birth? Is this they way y’all do it now? [Sidebar: IRS on line 2….]
Last Sunday, as Bishop Eddie Long preached the word rocking his good nappy fro wig, a woman casually walked up to him in the middle of his sermon and handed him a huge wad of cash.
Long hugs the woman and she strolls back to her seat (bad weave and all)…
Stunt? I think so… 😯
New Birth members are leaving in droves, Long’s wife is rumored to have flown the coup, money is dwindling and Long’s “confidential” settlement to those 4 young men who accused him of coercing them into various sex acts is said to be nearly $25 milli…
What began as a $2 million agreement to settle the case for each of the four men quickly rose to $5.5 million for the respective plaintiffs, only because Long refused to publicly admit guilt.
The men are to divide $2.2 million equally and then receive $400,000 in payments until the money is paid out over the next 20 years, the source said. The final figure comes to $22 million for the four men and $2.8 million for the plaintiffs’ attorneys. (source)
Money is tight as hell right now in the Long camp… so why not pull a stunt queen act to get the cash flow going?
