Robin Williams Health Update

"The Insider" has learned new details about the health of actor Robin Williams.

Contrary to recent reports that have surfaced saying Williams is in the intensive care unit at a Florida hospital -- sources tell "The Insider" that the 57-year-old actor is not in intensive care, and is expected to leave the hospital tomorrow.

Earlier this week, Williams canceled four Florida performances of his "Weapons of Self-Destruction" comedy show after he experienced shortness of breath and his doctor advised him to take a week of rest. He is scheduled to resume his 80-city tour on March 11 in Jacksonville, and the four performances will be rescheduled.
