Akon accused of tossing fan

BY JESSICA M. PASKO
FISHKILL, N.Y. — Akon is headed to trial on criminal charges that he tossed a fan offstage at an upstate concert last summer.
The 35-year-old singer is accused of tossing a teenager off the stage during a June 2007 concert at a minor league baseball stadium near Poughkeepsie. Another concertgoer said she suffered a concussion when the boy landed on her.
Akon, whose real name is Aliaue Thiam, asked for the jury trial during a brief appearance with his lawyer in Fishkill Town Court on Wednesday. He's due back in court for trial Dec. 1 unless a deal is negotiated in the meantime.
He pleaded not guilty in December to misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, a violation.
Judge Harold Epstein met privately with Akon's lawyer, Andrea Zellan, and Dutchess County Assistant District Attorney Anthony Parisi before announcing the case would go to trial unless a deal is reached.

COURTS
Reporter's claims against paparazzi denied
LOS ANGELES — A judge on Wednesday dealt a serious, but possibly temporary blow to a lawsuit filed by a celebrity magazine reporter who has accused a pararzzi agency of secretly filming Heath Ledger doing drugs in her hotel room.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John S. Wiley Jr. tentatively dismissed 11 of 12 claims filed against the agency and two photographers, saying most of the allegations lacked legal standing.
The woman sued Splash News & Picture Agency and two of its photographers in April, alleging fraud, intrusion, unjust enrichment and other claims over the filming of Ledger in 2006. She was on assignment for People magazine at the time.
