The video clip of Akon tossing a fan off stage into the crowd at a concert has come back to haunt him: Police are slapping the hip-hop star with criminal charges after a fan said she suffered a concussion in the incident.

Akon is scheduled to appear in a Fishkill, N.Y., court Monday to be arraigned on misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, the Associated Press reports this morning.

Akon and Michael Jackson

The charges stem from an incident in June when Akon was performing at a concert and someone in the crowd allegedly threw something at the singer on stage.

Akon asked the crowd to point out the culprit so he could smack dat. A security guard picked a 15-year-old out from the crowd and sent him up to the stage.

Akon promptly tossed him end-over-end into the crowd, where he landed on another fan, Abby Rosa, who told reporters she suffered a concussion.

The singer, who has been a magnet for controversy, later denied wrongdoing in the incident. There was no immediate comment from Akon's representatives. Presumably they are too busy writing lame songs that they think sound hard.

Soon after Thanksgiving, Lindsay Lohan realized just how big of a turkey she was dating. The alcoholic actress broke up with Riley Giles, sources say.

Those close to the promiscuous star claim she dumped Riley shortly after the two returned to Los Angeles on November 25: "She made it pretty clear when they got home," a friend said. "It's over."

Lindsay Lohan is SMOKIN'

The reason, this insider simply stated, was that Lohan "got tired of him pouting all the time," a development that most likely occurred after Giles read through The Hollywood Gossip archives and realized he was getting the sloppy seconds of Harry Morton, Jude Law, Criss Angel, AJ Lamas and others.

Lindsay Lohan looks thrilled in this picture of herself, Riley Giles and Dina Lohan. We wonder where it all went wrong.

"It was fine when they were in Utah, just the two of them," the source told E! Online, pointing to Riley's frustration with Lohan's fame. "But then they returned to L.A. and Lindsay was shooting a movie, photographers followed them everyone, she had meetings with this agent, that publicist, this director. His ego couldn't take it."

His wallet was just fine, though, Lindsay's pals claim:

"He never paid. Yeah, we know Lindsay is the rich and famous one, but come on. Be the man once in a while! Pay for a round of Cokes. I mean, they weren't even drinking alcohol, so how much could a round of Cokes be?"

Not more than Riley's dignity, that's for sure. And he already sold that out by dating Lohan in the first place.

Yikes.

So-called actress and singer Jessica Simpson was spotted at LAX airport in L.A. this week showcasing some, uh, rather large lips. Shield your eyes from pic below...

Big Jessica Simpson

What ever happened to the hot Jessica Simpson of yore?

We have no idea, but Nick Lachey, man, you may not have thought so at the time, but you got lucky when she dumped you. Hmm... that grotesque face above or going at it with a nude Vanessa Minnillo. Difficult call right there!

Bet Sophia Bush is looking pretty hot now, right, Tony Romo? Jessica Simpson first confessed to Glamour that she got lip injections in 2006.

"I had that Restylane stuff," she said. "It looked fake to me. I didn't like that. But ... it went away in, like, four months... My lips are back to what they were. Thank God!"

Well, they were, at least. Unless Jessica's pimp (father Joe) made an endorsement deal with some lip injection service, we have no idea what she's thinking here.

Julianne Hough is aghast. She's appalled. She's simply shocked that anyone would consider her and fellow Dancing with the Stars champion Helio Castroneves to be a couple.

"Oh my gosh! No!" Hough told People magazine Thursday. "I love Helio like he is my brother. We are the best of friends."

We think we believe the 19-year old beauty, but she has to understand where the rumors are coming from: Immediately after the show's finale, Castroneves confirmed that he and his fiancée Aliette Vazquez had called off their engagement.

A friendly peck: Julianne Hough is adamant that she and Helio Castroneves are just friends. Really good looking friends.

Meanwhile, Hough dealt with a similar situation last May when she called off her engagement to Zach Wilson. At that time, the buzz was that she and partner Apolo Anton Ohno were an item.

Jennie Garth, though, appears to be the voice of reason, stating that Julianne has been at the center of these controversies because she's had undeniable chemistry with both of her Dancing with the Stars partners. But as the actress put it:

"When Julianne Hough dances she can have chemistry with a broomstick."

This just in, folks: Julianna Hough is dating a broomstick!

Next week, the dancer resumes recording songs for her upcoming CD, set to be released in early 2008. By then, she'll probably be linked to Tony Romo.

Spotted: Kristen Bell looking sexy as ever on the cover of Complex magazine.

The voice of Gossip Girl let her face and body do the talking in this pictorial, posing seductively for the camera and proving that she has powers far beyond those of electricity. (That was a Heroes joke, people, come on!)

Complex Magazine

Hey, Chace Crawford: if it doesn't work out with Carrie Underwood, or Katrina Bowden, your next fling shouldn't be too far away. Yowza.

Actress Drea de Matteo has given birth to a baby girl, Alabama Gypsy Rose. Congratulations!

The actress, 35, who formerly starred on The Sopranos, and her musician boyfriend Shooter Jennings, 28, welcomed their daughter Wednesday night, reps for the actress confirmed to E! Online.

Alabama is the first child for Drea de Matteo and Shooter Jennings, who have dated for six years.

De Matteo, who played Adriana La Cerva on the HBO drama and also starred in the ill-fated NBC sitcom Joey, announced the pregnancy in May.

In June, even before she knew the gender, Drea de Matteo had a feeling she was having a girl. "I use 'she,' because I'm getting so fat, I think it's a girl!" she said at the time.

Shooter Jennings is the son of the late country legend Waylon Jennings.

Play dates with Valentina Pinault, coming right up!

Getting her own reality TV show has made it tremendously hard for the average tattoo lover to get inked up by the infamous Kat Von D, but the voluptuous and gregarious artist says those patiently waiting will be rewarded.

What's more, according to Kat Von D, they won't even have to worry about big, oft-tatted celebrities like Angelina Jolie or Travis Barker cutting in line.

"She doesn't get a pass to the front of the line," Kat Von D, who was on Miami Ink and now stars in TLC's reality TV series LA Ink, tells Steppin' Out magazine.

"In fact, I'd probably tattoo my sister before I'd tattoo her."

Kat Von D: Tattoo artist to the stars... and commoners, too.

No word on whether Kat and Alex "Orbi" Orbison - the son of Roy Orbison and the drummer of Whitestarr (which also features Cisco Adler) - are still dating.

The couple that the celebrity gossip universe loves to hate - Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of The Hills - didn't waste any time getting into the holiday spirit!

The pair went to the "Holiday Events Christmas Trees" lot to pick out their own Christmas tree in Woodland Hills on Wednesday. There, they talked to Santa Claus, who took a look at Heidi and couldn't resist the easiest pun ever ...

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt: Media (ho, ho) hos, indeed.

No word on whether the lovingly detestable reality TV twosome told this rotund St. Nick what they want for Christmas, but our staff has some ideas ...

  • An elegant, fairy tale wedding (Heidi) or no wedding (Spencer)
  • A $5 million offer by Playboy for pics of Heidi Montag nude
  • Spring success for Heidi's new clothing line
  • A new design for Spencer's crappy website
  • More Lauren Conrad sex tape rumors
  • A fourth season of The Hills

It's been a violent week in the celebrity news world.

NFL star Sean Taylor died a day after being shot by an unknown assailant in his Miami home. In Las Vegas, O.J. Simpson was arraigned on kidnapping and robbery charges. Now another high-profile shooting has occurred in L.A.

Rodney King, the motorist famous for a videotaped beating from Los Angeles police back that set off the L.A. riots in 1991, was shot and wounded on a San Bernardino street corner late Wednesday, according to news sources.

Rodney King himself called Rialto police just before midnight last night to report the shooting. According to Sgt. Don Lewis, King was struck in the face and arm by a shotgun. Police reported that King and others inside appeared drunk.

Rodney King was reportedly shot in the face, police say.

King was quickly taken to a local hospital, and his wounds were not believed to be life-threatening. More on this story as information becomes available.

Granted, Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron and Lucas Grabeel could watch grass grow in High School Musical 3 and the movie would make billions.

But here's the actual synopsis, courtesy of Hudgens herself:

"It's senior year," the actress said, "so there's going to be graduation and prom!"

Ashley, Vanessa and Zac share a High School Musical hug.

Added High School Musical 3 director Kenny Ortega: "All of the original cast will be back. [But] I have a feeling this will be the end [for the current stars]. This franchise may move to another generation!"

Does that mean Miley Cyrus could be starring in High School Musical 4?!?
