Lewis suffers heart attack

Las Vegas – Comedian Jerry Lewis postponed an engagement to perform live next month after suffering a heart attack Sunday that a casino spokeswoman described as “mild.”

“At present, he is under hospital care and is expected to make a full recovery,” said Candi Cazau, spokeswoman for the Orleans hotel-casino in Las Vegas, where Lewis was to perform July 13-16.

Lewis, 80, is also suffering from “a touch of pneumonia,” Cazau said in a statement.

A call to Lewis’ manager, Claudia Marghilano, was not returned Tuesday.

Last week, a wise-cracking Lewis appeared healthy at a news conference in Las Vegas when he announced his first return to live performances in five years after a battle with pulmonary fibrosis, a crippling lung ailment.

He also appeared at a roasting as abbot of the Friars Club in New York on Friday, with fellow comedian Robert Klein and the Amazing Kreskin in attendance.

New role is ‘daddy’

Los Angeles – Jack Black and his wife, Tanya Haden, are parents of a baby boy, the actor said.

“I’m going to be the best daddy on the planet and I’m going to enter the best daddy competition. And I’m going to win it,” Black said in a story posted on the Web site of Us Weekly magazine.

The couple’s first child was born Saturday, Black told “Access Hollywood” on Monday evening at the Mann Grauman’s Chinese Theatre premiere for his new movie, “Nacho Libre.”

“I’ve got the babe back at home safe and sound and I’m actually very anxious to get back” to them, Black, 36, told the TV show.

Neither Us Weekly nor “Access Hollywood” reported the baby’s name.
