Robin Williams had open heart surgery to repair a heart valve, and another heart valve replaced, 8 weeks ago. Williams went on the Late Show with David Letterman to talk about his surgery, and to promote his sold out Weapons of Self-Destruction that he postponed temporarily to recover from his surgery.

Williams looks fantastic, and he’s as funny as ever, even with the small amount of brain damage that occurs from the heart bypass machine during surgery. Dave had quadruple coronary artery bypass graphs (aka CABG) himself years ago.

Robin Williams (57) is recovering after undergoing successful open heart surgery on March 13. Surgeon A. Marc Gillinov said:

"Mr. Williams’ operation went extremely well and we expect him to make a full recovery."

"His heart is strong and he will have normal heart function in the coming weeks with no limitations on what he’ll be able to do."

"The three-and-a-half-hour heart surgery was conducted to replace his aortic valve, repair his mitral valve, and correct his irregular heartbeat."

What did they do to correct Williams irregular heartbeat?

It looks like Williams will be able to resume his Weapons of Self-Destruction comedy tour as planned.

Have a speedy recovery Robin!

Robin William (57) was admitted to a hospital in Florida after complaining of shortness of breath during two performances this week. It was determined that Williams will need to have his aortic valve replaced.

Williams has been on an 80 city one man show tour for his Weapons of Self-Destruction. The show was so popular three additional shows were tacked on to meet the demand. The tour is suspended for now, but is expected to resume this fall. Williams said:

“I’m so touched by everyone’s support and well wishes. This tour has been amazing fun and I can’t wait to get back out on the road after a little tune-up.”

Get well soon.

The National Enquirer claims Robin Williams, who is getting divorced, has been dating 27 year-old Charlotte Filbert. She is an artist, and has her own web site. The report says:

Robin Williams was cheating with a knockout blond half his age before his wife Marsha hit him with divorce papers, ending their 19-year marriage, The Enquirer has learned exclusively.

The other woman is Charlotte Filbert, a 27-year-old artist from tony Greenwich, Connecticut, and she’s the secret behind the comic’s bust up, sources reveal.

Williams, 56, met Charlotte last year through a pal – and the… actor owns several of her paintings, according to her agent.

“Charlotte wants to move from Greenwich to Manhattan, and Robin gave her a $10,000 a month limit for a rental apartment,” said the source.

When approached by an Enquirer reporter, Charlotte did not deny her affair with Robin, saying “I can’t comment on any of this stuff.”

We’ll have to wait and see what Williams says about this. Was he cheating, or did he meet Filbert after his wife told him it was over between them?

Robin Williams did a comedy routine as a fake Russian Idol winner Ivan Poppinoff on Idol Gives Back. Robin and Ryan did a great routine together. The amazing talent Robin has is to spontaneously improvise his material right off the top of his head. Robin is a legend. Hey, he even got Simon Cowell to crack a smile.
