• Akon has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment five months after throwing a fifteen-year-old boy from the stage during an upstate New York concert. Things turned ugly at the June show after Akon asked security to find a fan who threw something at him onstage. When Akon responded by tossing the teen into the crowd, the victim landed on a girl in the audience who later said she suffered a concussion. Akon is due in court Monday for arraignment.

• With her VMAs debacle behind her, will Britney Spears try a second MTV comeback? Various fan sites claim she’ll premiere her recently shot video for “Piece of Me” before the end of the year in a “BIG event,” which may be a live appearance on MTV (the network just launched a contest for fans to make their own version of the video).

• Lil’ Kim says she made a mixtape, Ms. G.O.A.T. (a.k.a. Greatest of All Time, due in a few weeks), to give back to her fans. “It’s been a year and a half since I been home from jail; I felt I owed them something.” Tracks include a remix of Britney’s “Gimme More” (substituting “It’s Lil’ Kim, ho” for “It’s Britney, bitch”) and a freestyle targeted at Remy Ma over 50 Cent’s “I Get Money.” Kim says a proper album should be out next year — after she’s free from Atlantic records and in charge of her own music.

• Axl Rose showed off his inner fireman when the Malibu blazes struck his home over the weekend. “He helped a lot,” his assistant told reporters. “He was with the hose everywhere.” Damage to Rose’s home was contained on the roof, so presumably those Chinese Democracy masters are still safe … somewhere.

• The culprits behind the fake Radiohead site radioheadlp7.com seem to be trying their hand at a second hoax by writing a new post claiming they’re Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher. “The rumors you have heard are true,” “Liam” writes, “I am responsible for this site … We’re having a time recording the new album.”
