"I am not dead," our beloved Fred said. "I am just severely dehydrated, an ailment common in the entertainment community. Hell, isn't that what Britney Spears says she is when she goes wackadoodle?"

"But I really am dehydrated. Hell, I piss dust and lower the humidity just by walking in a room," Fred chuckled.
