In the midst of a tour, stand-up comic Robin Williams checked into a Miami hospital with "heart issues," the Miami Herald reported. Drudge said the movie star is in "intensive care."

Williams has reported experiencing shortness of breath on his "Weapons of Mass Destruction Tour" and announced yesterday he would skip four scheduled shows on the advice of his doctor. His older brother died two years ago from heart surgery complications, according to Wikipedia.

According to the Herald's ultra-short story, Williams could be "laid up for a while."
