A$AP Rocky has been charged with a crime after spending weeks in a Swedish jail. Prosecutors charged him with Assault Causing Actual Bodily Harm stemming from a street brawl in the country's capital .. and if convicted he could spend 2 years behind bars.
The prosecutor said A$AP will continue to be held in jail pending a trial ... and the trial date has not been set, although it could be today. Two members of Rocky's crew have also been charged with the same crime and they will also be held pending trial. The Swedish prosecutor just boasted he had access to more information than people on the internet. He said he's reviewed video and also talked to witnesses, and determined the claims by Rocky and his 2 crew members of self defense and provocation didn't hold water, despite the fact the alleged victim is the one who unrelentingly harassed and attacked Rocky and his crew first. The prosecutor says he also considered the alleged victim's statement, which he says was supported by witness statements. The alleged victim admits striking A$AP's bodyguard with a set of headphones, but only after the bodyguard lifted him off the ground by his neck, so the prosecutor viewed the headphones attack as self defense. BTW, the lifting by the neck is not on video, and interestingly, if the prosecutor really felt the bodyguard was the aggressor he would have been presumably charged ... and the bodyguard has already been cleared. A$AP has been in jail alongside two of his associates since turning himself in to Swedish authorities earlier this month. Prosecutors inadvertently played their hand last week, announcing they were going to charge the Harlem rapper ... and on Thursday the hammer finally dropped. The only good news for Rocky ... he and his crew will not be charged with Aggravated Assault, a more serious crime which carries a 6-year prison sentence.

Meek Mill's 2008 gun conviction was just thrown out, and he's being granted a new trial and a new judge to re-fight the charge. A panel of judges handed down their decision Wednesday in Pennsylvania Superior Court -- saying Meek deserve a new trial, with a new jury. Meek celebrated the decision on social media, writing ... "As of right now I’m not on probation and I am not a felon anymore," adding a bunch of praying hands. He went on to say, "today was mega!!!" The key witness in the case turned out to be a dirty cop. Even the prosecutor wanted a new trial, but Judge Brinkley wouldn't budge. This time around, a panel of 3 judges who were not previously involved in the case unanimously made the decision to throw out the conviction. Meek just said, "I'd like to thank the Pennsylvania Superior Court judges for their wisdom and their transparency in reviewing my case, unanimously overturning my conviction and granting me a new trial. The past 11 years have been mentally and emotionally challenging, but I'm ecstatic that justice prevailed." He goes on ... "This positive outcome wouldn't have been possible without the support of my family, my attorneys, Jay Z, Desiree Perez, Michael Rubin, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and my supporters who have stood with me through the ups and downs." Meek makes it clear, not everyone is this lucky ... "Unfortunately, millions of people are dealing with similar issues in our country and don't have the resources to fight back like I did. We need to continue supporting them. I'm committed to working with my team at the REFORM Alliance to change these outdated laws and fix our broken criminal justice system."

It's been 11 years since 'Zoey' went off the air, but with so many Nick classics like "All That" and "Blues Clues" getting a 2nd life, these seems like the right time to bring it back! The premise of the show would follow Zoey's life in SoCal ten years later at the age of 28 -- only this time, she'd have a couple of kids in the mix. Unclear if she'd have a partner or not, or if she's still involved with her character's longtime love interest, Chase.

“There’s a vast part of this album that I worked with Jack Antonoff on, he is phenomenal… I wanted to show you a song that we worked on together,” she said.

It’s just a song that I love on the album.. I haven’t made a video for it or anything. This is just a glimpse into another side of the album that I wanted to show you,” she added. She also said the song is one of the most vulnerable ones on the album. You can download the song now on iTunes and stream it here via YouTube.
