Bernie Mac Is Alive, Recovering From Pneumonia

August 4th, 2008

Rumors of the comedian’s death shock and frighten fans.

Bernie Mac
Both Bernie Mac’s publicist and his wife are refuting rumors that the popular comedian died this past weekend. Mac was hospitalized and recovering from pneumonia late last week, publicist Danica Smith told The Chicago Sun-Times. By Saturday, fans in Mac’s native Chicago and those browsing Web sites throughout the country were expressing sadness and posting tributes to the “late” Kings of Comedy alum. It appears that a hoax involving calls to various TV newsrooms led to the scare and caused at least one Chicago network affiliate to scroll the news across the screens of its viewers’ sets at home. “It is a very horrible rumor,” Smith says. “It is absolutely untrue.” Mac’s condition was, in fact, improving, Smith adds: “He’s doing great and hopes to get out soon. He’s Bernie – he’s one of the best guys you’ll meet.” Mac’s wife Rhonda McCullough has been with him at the hospital. Read the latest on Bernie Mac at BET Entertainment Spotlight.

It is a hot topic now at the hot inter-racial community
http://www.mixedmingle.com/
which is a good place for 18+ singles from each race to meet cute girls with big boobs online. This is the only site where sexy black and white girls like discussing inter-racial relationship.

I got a text today about it and Im soooo glad I don’t believe everything someone tells me. Thank goodness for BET online for letting the truth be told. Get better Bernie. God has already healed you. God bless your family.
Whoever told this terrible lie, you better repent or I sure don’t want to be in your shoes when God comes a-callin. You will wish you were dead but you won’t be able to die. (That’s scripture)

That comes to show that you can’t BELIEVE things in the media. The media needs to check things out before airing or writting it. Its a good thing his family knew it wasn’t true. Something like that could have been devestating. To the MEDIA get your facts straight and know what your talking about before you say it.

This is an awful thing to say about someone when it isn’t true. That comes to show that you can’t BELIEVE things in the media. The media needs to check things out before airing or writting it.
