Breaking (Sort of): Have you heard the one about Dave Chappelle being a guest at the Prince William County, Va. jail or hospital? Thanks to a heads-up from one early a.m. commenter (see below), I just got off the phone with a jail spokesperson and got an answer on whether or not the comic has indeed been a guest since Saturday (as reported this morning on radio station DC101 and over at PerezHilton.com). No, he's not there, says the rep. Also, as of 11:28 a.m. ET, a Prince William hospital spokesperson said Federal law prevents her from confirming or denying whether a person is a patient. If you hear any additional reports, share them below or e-mail me at celebritology@washingtonpost.com.

Update, 4:10 p.m. ET: TMZ.com (Careful at-work linkers, TMZ's headline is a little explicit) apparently reached a rep for Dave Chappelle, who confirmed that he was indeed admitted to a hospital this weekend. From TMZ: "The rep says Dave went to the emergency room for 'physical exhaustion.' She says he was treated with 'food, water and sleep' for about 12 hours and then went home."
