Jerry Lewis Released from Hospital
Comedian Jerry Lewis has been released from the hospital after his heart attack scare earlier this month and is now recovering on his yacht in a San Diego, California harbor. The beloved funnyman spent a week undergoing tests and treatment for a minor heart attack and a case of pneumonia. And his spokeswoman Candi Cazau insists the 80-year-old star is already up and about, making plans for his annual Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon, which he hosts every year. Lewis fell ill onboard a flight from New York to San Diego and was taken to the hospital, where his heart problem was diagnosed. The comedian underwent angioplasty after it was discovered he had a logged artery. Although Lewis insists he'll be fit and well for the Mda telethon in September, he has cancelled a four-night stint at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lewis is also pressing on with plans to turn his hit comedy The Nutty Professor into a new stage musical, according to Cazau.
