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."

17. It's very dangerous when a man of his age falls. It's not just women who get weak/brittle bones, men do too. He could have easily suffered a fracture. Also, any jarring movement of the head, even if the head doesn't strike something, can cause a hematoma, the same type or related to the one that Natasha Richardson suffered. I hope Lewis is doing alright!

18. He probably tripped because he got dizzy from looking at that hideous dress or whateverthehell it is.

22. Am I the only one to notice the big lie here? His reps said, "Stories of a collapse are completely erroneous." How can it be erroneous when indeed you show a picture of him collapsing... and getting help picked back up???

24. After the movies, the TV work, the recordings, the stage peformances and radio he's still such a loveable superstar.
But losing Ed McMahon sure kills Jerry in the most worst way ever.
