" Keyshia Cole has reportedly been ordered to pay damages to an event promoter after she failed to show up for a gig. The R&amp;amp;amp;B singer was allegedly paid $15,000 (\u00C2\u00A310,000) upfront for a performance, but failed to show up. TMZ reports that the judge ruled against Cole after calling the singer&amp;#039;s testimony &amp;quot;confused and at times nonsensical&amp;quot;. The judge added &amp;quot;that it appears at times that she was not literate&amp;quot;, because of her reluctance to read certain documents when testifying.  The site claims that Cole was fined nearly $160,000, which she has been ordered to pay in full to the company.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
