Eldrin-Justin update!
Going through withdrawal after a 24-hour interval without a nugget about retired
Atlanta Police Chief Eldrin Bell and his "American Idol" runner-up
singer son, Justin Guarini? Stick your schnoz up to this item and inhale
deeply. On Sunday, from the pulpit at Shaw Temple AME Zion Church in Smyrna,
Bell, a licensed Baptist minister, proudly told parents, "That boy of mine,
I used to go through what you're going through. Stand up straight, clean behind
your ears, shake hands, speak to people, eat your food. And to have that young
man get on national television and say, 'My daddy's my inspiration,' that's an
honor every parent ought to have."
