Quite possibly the greatest pyrotechnic show ever at concert, Rihanna’s show in Dallas ended early last night due to a fire.

TMZ reports a fire broke out in the lighting area above the stage. To make matters worse, Rihanna was an hour late getting on stage, and Rihanna recently cancelled another concert in Dallas during 2010.

Below is fan video of the fire breaking out. We like how this fan seems more concerned about getting replacement tickets, then people getting hurt.

A court spokesman has confirmed that rapper Lil Wayne’s jail sentencing has been delayed yet again, reports MSN Entertainment.

The basement of the lower Manhattan courthouse where Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, was supposed to receive his sentencing caught on fire earlier this morning (March. 2).

Court spokesman David Bookstaver said the sentencing was among the proceedings cancelled due to the fire.

The rap star was supposed to start a one-year jail term today after he pled guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon back in October. The 27-year-old Wayne admitted to having a loaded gun on his tour bus back in July, 2007. As andPOP previously reported, Wayne was supposed to start his sentence last month but it was postponed due to dental surgery.

Despite his criminal record, Lil Wayne has, in recent years, become one of rap’s biggest names.

50 Cent was reunited with his son Marquise on Sunday, after the rapper claimed the boy’s mother had kidnapped him.

When the boy’s house burned down in May, his mother made statements to the press that 50 Cent had not even called to see how his son was. As a result, she had refused to let 50 see Marquise.

According to TMZ, the reunion went off drama-free. 50 will be spending time with his son until the middle of next week, until he must leave the country to film a movie.

50 will be seeing his baby momma again soon – in court. They are due to settle a restraining order in September.

A fire tore through Universal Studios Sunday morning. The blaze broke out just before dawn on a back-lot soundstage, destroying a building housing the King Kong exhibit and threatened the studio’s film fault.

About 200 city and county firefighters joined studio firefighters to extinguish the blaze. Helicopters dropped water onto the burning lot as 100 foot flames overtook the structures. One firefighter is said to be injured, although his condition is yet to be determined.

Eliot Sekuler of Universal Studios said the hilltop theme park was not damaged and would still be open today, which is good news for the MTV Movie Awards. The ceremony is set to take place today, with Mike Myers hosting live from Universal’s Gibson Amphitheatre.

Celebrities expected at the awards are Sarah Jessica Parker, Adam Sandler, Lindsay Lohan, Liv Tyler, Anne Hathaway, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Hudson, James Franco, Paris Hilton, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Nikki Blonsky, Coldplay and the Pussycat Dolls.
