Roger Ebert fractures hip dancing, his wife jokes

Roger Ebert's dance moves may not be good enough to earn the film critic two thumbs up.

"Roger in hospital with hip fracture (tricky disco dance moves) but he is doing well, asking for computer, will probably tweet," his wife Chaz tweeted on Thursday.

The 70-year-old took to the social networking site later that day to tell followers he did in fact fracture his hip, but that no surgery was needed.

"Details to follow," he posted.

He hadn't updated his Twitter followers by the time this blog was published on Friday, but he did post his review of director Ciaran Foy's "Citadel."
