"&lt;strong&gt;Lil Wayne&lt;/strong&gt; won't be going to jail today after all -- his hearing was just postponed due to a fire in the courthouse where he was scheduled to be sentenced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/03/02/0302_lil_wayne_court_bn-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told the fire occurred in the basement of the Manhattan Criminal Court building at 10:29 AM ET sending smoke throughout the building and causing a complete evacuation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fire was under control by 11:55 AM ET -- but the damage was done ... because Lil Wayne's attorney says the courthouse has now been shut down for the rest of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wayne -- who pled guilty to attempted weapons possession last year -- was supposed to be sentenced last month ... but the rapper was able to delay the hearing until today so he could have dental surgery on his grill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wayne's attorney tells TMZ the rapper has no idea his sentencing has been postponed, because he's on a plane right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE 2:12 PM ET&lt;/strong&gt;: A court official tells TMZ Wayne will be sentenced tomorrow ... unless the hand of God comes down and saves him yet again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;More Lil Wayne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/01/lil-wayne-mouths-off-before-prison/\"&gt;Lil Wayne -- Mouths Off Before Prison&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/09/lil-wayne-sentencing-delayed-postponed-gun-possession-jail-prison/\"&gt;Lil Wayne -- The Tooth Has Set Him Free&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
