Akon is finally going on trial for throwing a fan off the stage, and into a crowd in June of 2007 at a concert in New York state. Akon faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment. A female fan in audience said she got a concussion when Akon threw the boy on her.

Fishkill Town Justice Harold Epstein ordered Akon, who was present in court for today’s 9 a.m. hearing, to return to Fishkill Justice Court December 1 for the start of the jury trial.

Akon faces a maximum of one year and 15 days behind bars if convicted on both charges.

Dutchess County Assistant District Attorney Anthony Parisi requested that Akon’s attorney, Andrea Zellan, attempt to reach a deal within the next two weeks, before notices are mailed out to potential jurors.

Akon’s attorney released the following statement:

"We are pleased that Judge Epstein adjourned the case to a date certain for either a trial or a negotiated resolution. Akon looks forward to putting this incident behind him, and in the meantime, he will continue to meet every requirement set forth by the court."

Akon will settle.

A new Whitney Houston comeback song was leaked, probably to test the response. The song is called Like I Never Left, and features Akon. The main line is "I want you to love me like I never left."

The song lacks enthusiasm, and sounds just okay. What do you think?

Akon was performing a free concert in Copenhagen, Denmark on Wednesday when his fans began to riot as police attempted to evacuate the mall after fire alarms went off. The riot escalated once everyone was safe outside as concert-goers started throwing rocks and drink bottles at the officers, resulting in eight arrests. The fire turned out to be a false alarm and mall security have launched an investigation into what went wrong.

Gosh this an easy one to figure. One of the kids at the free concert thought it would be funny to pull the fire alarm and did, nearly getting people killed in a riot. As for the rioters, would they rather burn to death in a fire rather than be evacuated?

Trouble has been following Akon ever since the day he dry humped a 15 year-old girl onstage in Trinidad. Trouble follows trouble.

Back in April of 2007, Akon simulated sex with, and grinded on, a 15 year-old girl in Trinidad, but he remains one of the most popular artists to date. In defense of Akon, he didn’t know the girl was 15, and that type of dancing is common in Trinidad. I guess that dancing helps keep the population from declining in Trinidad. The video, which seems to be the only one left on the Internet today, is one of our most popular even today, so we thought we’d post it again in case you missed it.

Prosecutors charged Akon with endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, after he threw a teenage fan off the stage at a concert in New York state back in June. In his court appearance Monday, he pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his lawyer issued a statement saying the singer "deeply regrets" the incident. Akon pleaded not guilty, but "deeply regrets" the incident. Spoken like a politician. Akon’s court date is in January 2008. Click here to see video of the crime.
