BISHOP EDDIE LONG SCANDAL-NEWS FROM NEW BIRTH

BISHOP EDDIE LONG DIDN'T SKIP A BEAT, THOUGH THE MEDIA FRENZY HAS BEEN ROUGH ON HIM SINCE THE SCANDAL ALLEGING THAT HE INAPPROPRIATELY TOUCHED "BOYS".  The this is a rough period for Bishop Eddie Long, he still held services at his church, and said that he will continue to do so.

He addressed his congregation, and also the world.  "As a pastor to make this statement, I want to help everybody".  He addressed his "sons and daughters", which consist of other pastors that he's touched the lives of. "This is one of the most difficult moments of my life". He talked about how to handle "Painful and Difficult situations".  His statements were made with the most elegant, humble, and even humors of words, and he handled it well.

This video is of his statements today. The 1st really begins addressing it at the 4:47 marker (go ahead and fast forward if you want).



Part two gets to the point, really.



This is an unfortunate turn of events for Bishop Long. With the Media going haywire on this, it's distracting from what Bishop Long's mission is: and that is to spread the word, to minister, and to assist those in need. All jokes aside, he has been very instrumental in many lives. I hope this doesn't get as bad as the Michael Jackson attacks. Remember, it wasn't until after he died that someone came forth and actually proved his innocence. A scandal like this could dis destroy anyone's faith...and that would be such a tragedy.

Let me make clear that in no way do I promote sexual abuse. However, I am neither judge nor jury. It is my hope that none of the allegations are true though. In the meantime, we'll just have to see how all of this plays out.

Oh, and LuvBugs...the twitter ID @BishopEddieLong is a fake one, so don't believe the hype.

THIS IS WHY THEY CALL HIM DA MONEY MAN

When Lil Hot finished recording his new hit, CASH feel from the ceiling into his and on the board! Crisp $20's, $50'S, and $100's. He's Lil Hot Da Money Man.

ATLANTA BASED RAPPER LIL HOT DA MONEY MAN HAS BEEN DOING IT BIG IN LOS ANGELES THIS PAST FEW DAYS.  He arrived in LA late Tuesday evening, and immediately began working on new compilation projects, and took some meetings. The same thing went on today.  It doesn't end!

He's working full time now in the New Money Ent EMPIRE, having just signed a deal with MONEY BY DA POUND RECORDS, enlarging the already growing independent label, where his is the CEO.  "This is no vacation-but we will do that, too, very soon. This is work. Anybody that knows me knows I'm one of the hardest workers out there, and I expect my team to be too. " And they are. 

 Hot has a strong team that goes hard on the New Money Ent movement. And everybody see's this.  Several labels in the past have approached Hot about signing, but up until now their terms just didn't fit into what his vision for his label and his career were.  Finally he's found what he's been looking for; MONEY BY DA POUND RECORDS.  It just makes sense for DA MONEY MAN to be tied in with MONEY BY DA POUND, lol.  And the proof is where you can see it. 

I'll keep you posted, Luv Bugs, because this is the hottest (no pun intended) story poppin' out of the ATL. ~~Holla~~~

LYFE JENNINGS SENTENCED TO BECOMING ANOTHER STATISTIC

THE ANNOUNCEMENT CAME IN TODAY THAT R&B SENSATION LYFE JENNINGS GOT SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON FOR A PAST ALTERCATION WITH HIS EX GIRLFRIEND. The altercation came about in 2008, ending up in gunfire and a high speed car chase, among other things that occurred. The sentencing came about on the same year (2010) that his album "Statistics" was released. Unfortunately, Lyfe has become another statistic :(

He sent out a tweet today:

"This will be my last post," Jennings wrote. "To everyone who gave me a chance I am forever in your debt. I have had a fabulous career because of you. All I can say in parting is that I have been honest. I didn't sugarcoat a word didn't hold back a single [part] of my life from [you]. I've lived a hundred lives in these 6 yrs so I not only won't, I don't have the right to complain. I would like to think that I've changed lives by changing my own, tho I can't be sure. But one thing I am sure of is God gives and takes away in measure. He is fair, just and forever."

Check out the video for "Statistics".

LIL HOT DA MONEY MAN MEETS ONE OF HIS LIL FANS

I got a text on Sept 18, 2010 from Lil Hot Da Money Man for his publicists to meet him at V-103, the people's station in Atlanta, GA. Celeb Status PR Co-Ceo Memory Martin and I went to meet him and the New Money Entertainment group.

Lil Bankhead met us at the door and took us upstairs, and when Lil Hot came in, in true LIL HOT fashion, the radio show turned into the "Lil Hot Show". His songs were broken on the spot, and it was a great big party.

But that's another story. The story here is about one of Lil Hot's biggest "littlest"  fans....little Chase Sabari, an 8 year old boy who recognized Lil Hot outside of Colony Square. He immediately pointed out Lil Hot, and his excitement led to him scoring a picture with one of his favorite rappers.

Chase was out with his mom, Mrs. Shondia Sabari, on a "Mommy and Son Weekend" when they happened upon Lil Hot and the entire New Money Ent crew, The Celeb Status PR team of publicists, and Money By Da Pound Records. They'd spent the weekend relaxing at the W Hotel, ate succi at Shout, and had a day at Dave And Busters.  Chase, an exceptionally talented 8 year old is in the third grade and reads on middle school level. He is very cultured and is in US KIDS GOLF (and a HUGE Tiger Woods fan).  He also has mastered amateur music production! He's an exceptional kid.

He first learned of Lil Hot from his cousin who lives in South Carolina. His cousin follows the underground rap scene and the music of Independent Greats- Lil Hot Da Money Man being one of his favorites. Chase had seen Lil Hot once before in passing at Lenox Mall, but never got the opportunity to meet him face to face up until this point.

In addition to taking pics with Lil Hot, the two exchanged words.  Lil Hot advised Chase to stay in school and to do his best, and guess what Chase advised Lil Hot???  "Yes, Sir, I will, and you stay on your grind".  Mrs. Sabari later told me that Chase asked her, "Mommy, I know that I'll stay in school and do my best like Lil Hot told me. Do you think he'll take my advice and stay on his grind?". She responded, "Of course he will. He's Lil Hot Da Money Man".  #Priceless

Per request, Celeb Status PR will provide "Lil Chase" a CD with all LIL HOT "CLEAN" versions of his songs and autographed materials for Chase to keep.  In addition to that, Lil Hot plans on taking time out of his schedule to give little Chase a tour of New Money Entertainment studios and to show Chase how to work the equipment in a real studio, a wish that Chase has had for some time now.  Be on the lookout...New Money Ent may just have found their youngest producer yet!

SPECIAL THANKS TO MRS. SHONDIA SABARI FOR PERMISSION TO POST THIS MATERIAL.
