Bernie Mac.... Dead? Say it ain't so...

[DOOK]

Comedian, South Sider Bernie Mac dies at 50 :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Obituaries (http://www.suntimes.com/news/obituaries/1099622,xmac080908.article)

[S14DB]

I saw this on the AP wire as a 1 sentence report saying the publicist had reported him dead. Find it odd that he was “responding well to treatment” last night and now he's dead.

I'll wait for a report from the hospital. This smells like another "James Brown is Dead..."

[DOOK]

last weekend I think it said he was "reported" dead also, but of course wasn't... I'm hoping he isn't dead, he was a good character in the "Ocean's" series of movies....

[doc99]

I couldn't believe this when I first read it. I almost thought we were going to lose Morgan Freeman earlier this week too.

I agree with DOOK, I dug his character in the Oceans movies. He was a great performer.

RIP Bernie Mac

"On Friday, a spokeswoman for the actor, whose real name is, Bernard McCullough, said that he had been responding well to treatment for the illness."

I had to read this a couple times before I read it correctly.

[Massimo Power]

yea i just saw this on MSN...

RIP

Yea there were rumors since last week. Sad to see it has happened.

Bernie was one of the most dynamic comedians of my time, you never knew what to expect from him but it was always a good laugh.

R.I.P. BernieMac

Yeah this was a couple days ago:

BERNIE MAC ALIVE DESPITE RUMORS: Prank phone calls flooded media outlets after comic was hospitalized with pneumonia.

Monday, August 04, 2008

*A rep for comedian Bernie Mac has been working hard over the weekend to squash rumors that her client had died after being hospitalized with pneumonia.

"It's not true," was Mac's publicist Danica Smith's response to an email inquiry from EUR on Saturday. She also told the Chicago Sun-Times, "It is a very horrible rumor. Nothing has changed from yesterday."

On Friday, Smith announced that Mac, 50, "is responding well to treatment and will be released soon. He asked that his privacy and that of his family is respected while he gets well."

Within 24 hours of Smith's statement, newsrooms and radio stations began receiving prank phone calls alleging the "King of Comedy" had died.

Denying the reports, Smith said: "He's doing great and hopes to get out soon. He's Bernie -- he's one of the best guys you'll meet."

Smith didn't know what day Mac entered the undisclosed Chicago hospital. She said the pneumonia is unrelated to Mac's sarcoidosis, a chronic disease that can cause tissue inflammation, particularly in the lungs. Smith said Mac's sarcoidosis has been in remission since 2005.

Damn, how the fuck we lose George Carlin and Bernie Mac in the same year, yet Michael Richards and Carrot Top live on.

Damn, how the fuck we lose George Carlin and Bernie Mac in the same year, yet Michael Richards and Carrot Top live on.

....on camera, michael richards is hilarious. it was well known he was a d-bag before his laugh factory outburst. "i'm not a racist, that's what's so insane about this!"

carrot top and dane cook should be next though, at least do some good with celebrity deaths

RIP bernie mac, funny dude.

Fucked up saying who, "should die".

Since they have done more with their life and can tell jokes better than you, does that mean you should die before them?

just saying i'd rather see dane cook die before michael richards, maybe a bad thread to bring it up in but hey, go ahead and take it way too seriously.

Man what a loss, :/ good spirit, and funny guy to watch. makes me think about what i got, how something could be here one day and gone the next.. How's Morgan Freeman doing by the way??
