Patrick Swayze has checked himself into the hospital after he came down with pneumonia.
Swayze was supposed to take part in a presentation for his show, "The Beast" -- but when he couldn't make it, the president of the A&E network informed reporters about the situation, at Patrick's request.
"He asked us specifically to go forward with today's panel. We wish him the very best with his recovery."
Swayze revealed last year that he is battling pancreatic cancer.

The human remains of Donatella Versace frolicked on the beach in St. Barts on Wednesday.
La Dona's purple bikini accented all the latest trends this season: fried hair, plutonium injected breasts and saggy leather skin.
All the alleged 53-year-old needs is a pair of orthopedic Lucite platform stripper heels and she could be the spitting, coughing, hacking image of Shauna Sand in five years.

The most famous celeb rehab joint around is crazed over a story that claims Tara Reid's detox is a ploy to drum up business for the facility.
Star Magazine claims Promises Treatment Center is letting Reid rehab there for free -- with a luxury bedroom and a "no bag check policy."
Star claims attendance is down and profits are low, so Promises "asked around Hollywood to see who wanted to stay there for free."
Promises begs to differ: "The suggestion that Promises would search Hollywood for a celebrity who needs rehab in an effort to garner publicity is libelous, offensive and without merit."
The article has since been removed from Star's website. The mag didn't get back to us with a comment.

"Dancing with the Stars'" Mark Ballas has groin-ed to a halt.
The season six winner "grimaced in pain" at a Staples Center concert, reports People, and apologized to the crowd for "not being able to give his all," although he was apparently able to tough it out through a "high-energy hip-hop" routine.
Ballas announced he'll have to sit out "a couple of weeks" to let his sore man-bend mend. No splits for Mark.

We've learned Chyna was rushed to the hospital early Saturday -- her birthday. She was so drunk when she was admitted, the shrinks at the hospital couldn't even do a psych evaluation.
Paramedics were called to her home in Burbank just before 5:00 AM. Saturday. She was celebrating her birthday with a few friends and had way too many drinks -- which didn't mix well with her prescriptions.
Friends found her passed out with cuts on her arms and were so worried, they called 911. After she was taken to the hospital, doctors wanted to perform a psych evaluation, but her blood alcohol level was so high they had to wait.
We spoke with Chyna in the hospital. She said, "All I really want right now is a hamburger and fries right now."
