Spears famously reunited with Rudolph -- the manager who saw her through the peak of her fame -- after she announced her pl...

Akon Smacks That On Stage

Here's the video that got pulled from Perez's site tonight. This is from an Akon show in Trinidad. Akon got a little freaky with some female audience members.
