Jerry Lewis Down -- False Alarm

Reports claim Jerry Lewis collapsed at the Cannes Film Festival in France just a short time ago. He's 83. From what we can tell he just slipped. We're checking to be sure.

Jerry Lewis
UPDATE: We spoke to Jerry's rep and she has informed us that she spoke to Jerry and his wife and he is fine. She also says, "Stories of a collapse are completely erroneous, Jerry is in good health and spirits in Cannes."

3.
At 83 he's already in 'overtime' with health problems he has had over the years. There is a time to relax and take things easy instead of running around the world.

6. The man is a living legend. All his friends and fellow actors are quickly leaving this earth. He has done so much for children with physical problems. Jerry made me and countless others laugh when we were children. God bless him.

9. This attention-monger geezer will do anything to try and get a laugh. Next up he will be on the nutty professor glasses and bang his head in a streetpole.

13. My dad and his company once hired Jerry to emcee a Corporate Event they were holding in Vegas back in the early 70's. After the show they asked to be able to go personally thank Jerry. His manager said OK, but it will have to be in his Suite as he doesnt want to come down. On the way up, in the elevator the Manager said to the Corporate Leaders going to thank him that whatever you do in the Suite do not, under any circumstances, make eye contact with, converse with, or in any way engage in anything with his wife while in the Suite in front of Jerry---do not even say hello to her. Upon inquiring as to why not, his manager told them all that Jerry is insanely jealous in a way that regular people would never understand, and he interprets any kind of attention to his wife as the person hitting on her, even with a simple and polite hello. Talk about weirdness huh?

Ask me sometime about when the Corporate People got to go meet Buddy Hackett, got another doozy on that one too.

Folks, its the behind the scences things that reveal the true identiy of these lying frauds, not the stage version---its all an act, these people are miserable human beings when the lights are off.

here you got artie help on this board talking about him being the most benevolent person he ever met in show business----he must have only met the on stage version of this phony to say that.
