• The truck driver from Georgia accused of triggering the highway crash that injured Tracy Morgan and killed another comedian hadn't slept for more than 24 hours before the accident, authorities said Monday as the actor recovered in a New Jersey hospital. Wal-Mart truck driver Kevin Roper was originally expected to make an initial appearance in state court Monday, but a court official said the Jonesboro, Ga., resident is scheduled in court Wednesday. It wasn't clear Monday whether Roper had retained an attorney. He remained free after posting $50,000 bond. Authorities said Roper, 35, apparently failed to slow for traffic ahead early Saturday in Cranbury Township and swerved at the last minute to avoid a crash. Instead, his big rig smashed into the back of Morgan's chauffeured Mercedes limo bus, killing comedian James "Jimmy Mack" McNair, authorities said. The 45-year-old Morgan, a former Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock cast member, remained in critical condition Monday. Roper has been charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. Wal-Mart President Bill Simon said in a statement that the company "will take full responsibility" if authorities determine its truck caused the accident.
• Even Psy is over "Gangnam Style." The ubiquitous 2012 hit is one Psy knows he probably will never top, and that makes creating new music quite a challenge. "People always comparing my new thing with 'Gangnam Style,' which is unbeatable," Psy said in a recent interview at YouTube Space LA in Los Angeles. "That means I have a severe, heavy pressure on my shoulder. ... In that way I don't like the song." The bizarre, colorful video featuring the now-iconic horse gallop dance recently surpassed 2 billion views, a record for YouTube. The South Korean pop star also holds the record for most views in a day with 38 million for his "Gangnam Style" follow up "Gentleman." Psy decided switching genres would be his best bet for another hit with his latest single, so he teamed with Snoop Dogg on the hip-hop track "Hangover." He said the American rapper signed on immediately after only hearing the song's title.
