Akon Throws Fan

Posted by Ty Colfax - Saturday, December 01, 2007 10:03 AM

Awards, platinum record sales, sold-out concerts, and he’s throwing it all away. Well, maybe just the fans.
At a show in Fishkill, NY on June 3, Akon was annoyed by a fan who threw something at him from the crowd. Akon had the boy, 15 years old, extracted from the crowd by security at which point he hoisted him over his shoulders and tossed the boy into the audience.
The comedy of the fact that he pulled him out of the crowd just to throw him back in is only eclipsed by the fact that the freshly tossed boy collided with another fan, Abby Rosa, who is claiming that she was concussed and is now suing Akon.
And all this after an April incident in Trinidad had Akon simulating sex on stage with a 14 year-old girl. His now ironically titled album, Konvicted has sold over 1 million copies in the US and we’re sure he’s got more where that came from.

Akon, keep your hands off the teens. They are precious, remember?

'The Post Show' Has Cool Guests

Posted by Mike D'Alonzo - Saturday, December 01, 2007 9:01 AM

You know how G4 shows Heroes every Saturday night, and how we also have The Post Show afterward? Well, this week, The Post Show has some pretty cool guests on it. How about artist Tim Sale, who is responsible for all of the cool comic book art not only on the show, but also in the graphic novels both online and at the newsstands. But that's not all! Matt Parkman himself, Greg Grunberg, will join the show via satellite to talk about the art of getting inside people's heads.

All of this, of course, leading up to the big Volume 2 finale next Saturday, when The Post Show will have Tim Kring, the creator of the show, to break his silence on the future of Heroes and what the writers' strike means to this season and beyond. Also, HRG himself, Jack Coleman, and Jimmy-Jean Louis, the Haitian, will be in studio, as well as a special surprise cast member guest.

Can you feel the excitement? Sure, we knew you could.

Check out The Post Show at 11PM ET on Saturdays.
