MORE COURT DATES FOR R. KELLY

A Minneapolis concert promoter is suing R. Kelly for missing a scheduled performance at the Target Center, even though his absence occurred because he was ordered to appear in court that day under threat of arrest.

TMZ is reporting that Nevada-based promoter Royalty Records has filed the lawsuit in Atlanta District Court seeking the return of their $120,000 payment to Kelly, plus unspecified damages.

Royalty claims that Kelly took the payment, but "never intended" to perform at the Dec. 20, 2007 show, which had been pushed back from its original scheduled date of Dec. 6.

The concert was part of his Double Up tour with former opening act Ne-Yo and Keyshia Cole, among others.
