Akon says sorry, may have cost Gwen $3 million.

Entertainment: Ouchie.

In a statement released Wednesday to The Associated Press, Akon, 34, said he was sorry for the incident but also said he didn't know the girl was underage.

"I want to sincerely apologize for the embarrassment and any pain I've caused to the young woman who joined me onstage, her family and the Trinidad community for the events at my concert," Akon said.

"It was never my intention to embarrass or take advantage of my fans in any way, especially those under the age of 18. That is why we tried to make sure that the club did not admit anyone under 18 in the audience," he said. "Somehow, that standard was not met."


Guardian:

Verizon's action is likely to inflict a loss of $3m on Stefani's tour. Her camp insists they are "just in the beginning stages of evaluating" the impact of the decision.
