Lil Wayne will get at least one more day of freedom before beginning his yearlong prison sentence for gun charges. On Tuesday morning (March 2), hundreds of people were evacuated from the New York courthouse where Wayne (born Dwayne Michael Carter) was to be sentenced due to a smoky basement fire. Wayne’s lawyer, Stacey Richman, told MTV News that the hearing has been postponed and will not take place on Tuesday; the new date was unclear at press time.


According to The Associated Press, courts spokesman David Bookstaver said the fire was apparently started in a wooden contractor’s shed, causing the evacuation around 10:30 a.m. after the building filled with smoke.

NY1 reported that the courthouse would be closed for the rest of the day as a result of the fire, which caused injuries to five firefighters, two civilians and one prisoner. It took crews over an hour to bring the blaze under control.

After winning a sentencing delay in order to undergo eight root canals, Wayne was scheduled to be formally sentenced and turn himself in to begin his one-year prison term in New York on Tuesday. Wayne, 27, pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

Wayne has been working feverishly in recent weeks to complete a number of videos and songs to stay relevant during his physical absence. He released a statement to fans late Monday, in which he tweeted, “Yesterday i smiled, today i smirked, tomorrow i stop … Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, they’re needed. The F is for family, friends, and fans……….thank u………..your love and prayers are felt. They kant lok up my heart bekuz y’all already have it on lok. ……thank u.”

Rapper and Young Money label boss, Lil Wayne has joined the social network revolution With about a week to go before he heads to prison.


Lil Wayne, who goes by the Twitter name @liltunechi, wrote his first tweet on Sunday night. “im super new to this twitter shit but wudup tho !……….follow me biot¢h……….wudup mak……happy bday LO……8 days of freedom..ym,” he said.

Lil Wayne is scheduled to start serving his one-year prison sentence on March 2.

Twitter phenomenon “SHIt My Dad Says” is set to be turned into a sitcom with William Shatner playing dad.


The pilot will be based on the Twitter account, which has attracted over 1 million followers since it hit the Internet in August, making its creator, Justin Halpern, an Internet star, reports the New York Post.

The pilot, to be aired on CBS, will be executive-produced by David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, the creators of Will & Grace.

Halpern, 29, launched Sh**t My Dad Says, a Twitter feed with colourful - often profane - comments made by his 73-year-old dad during their daily conversations.

Later today, Google is due to launch a social product that will compete with the currently popular social networks - Facebook


and Twitter. As Wall Street Journal reported, Gmail will get a new module that will stream media and status updates of online friends. This module sounds like a Gmail Labs feature which could be enabled or disabled by account holder’s choice.
However, it’s less likely to be a rival since Google itself has integrated Twitter updates in its search. Maybe Google will bring Orkut updates integration in Gmail - well, that’s just one of the many possibilities. Michael Arrington, TechCrunch CEO, noted that Google’s upcoming social product will go beyond Gmail integration.

Google has already enabled watching YouTube videos in Gmail Chat. Also, YouTube, Flickr and Picasa media previews in mail have been there since a while. Whatever the integration into Gmail would be like, there’s always a kill switch to bring the service back to normal.

If Google’s upcoming social product affects Gmail, the fear of outages and security always persists. Not to forget that this announcement follows Facebook’s homepage redesign and as we know, Google’s online rival Microsoft is one of the stake holders in Facebook. In August 2009, Yahoo had introduced social features in its mail, search and messenger service.
