Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• Rapper Akon has apologized to his fans and the general public after dancing suggestively with a 14-year-old girl at a recent concert.  Video of the act was posted on the internet and upon discovery of the girl’s age, Verizon pulled its sponsorship of the tour, which also includes Gwen Stefani. Aside from the legal implications of the act, there is more trouble ahead of Akon as representatives for R. Kelly have issued a cease and desist letter, demanding Akon stop interacting with underage girls as it’s “R. Kelly’s thing.”

• It appears that the sometimes sober actress Lindsay Lohan will be playing a stripper in her next movie, I Know Who Killed Me.  Lohan broke the news to a noticeably excited David Letterman on his late night television show.  After hearing the news, Jane Fonda, Lohan’s current co-star and past Lohan basher, promptly told reporters “A stripper, huh?  She should have went for the role of drunken whore… she could have played THAT in her sleep.”

• In a post on his MySpace pace, New Order bassist Paul Hook has announced that New Order has broken up.  Seen as one of the most influential bands of modern rock, New Order has released eight albums since they formed in 1980.  The news of the breakup came as a shock to many fans who had assumed that the band had broken up in the 90s.

That’s all for today’s news, stay tuned to this channel for all the news that matters least but you still care about.
