Just as us media buffs were readying the much-delayed child pornography trial of Grammy Award winner R. Kelly to start on Sept. 17 -- plans have nixed once again.

The five year-old charges have been postponed.

Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan said today that the jury selection will not begin on Sept. 17 as scheduled, reported the Chicago Sun-Times.

"We are not going to be going to trial the 17th of September," he said.

No reason was given.

No future date has been announced.

Whoa.

TMZ.com reported that there's a gag order in the case -- and that there's a hearing scheduled for Sept. 10.

Meanwhile, Kelly's latest album 'Double Up' has been certified platinum since being released May 29.

And his latest brainchild 'Trapped in the Closet: The Movie' (all 22 chapters) will premiere on IFC TV September 7 at 9pm ET/11pm PT.
