In what is, no doubt, very sad news, comedian Bernie Mac passed away early this morning due to complications from pneumonia, his publicist has confirmed:Bernie Mac’s publicist says the actor and comedian has died. The entertainer passed early Saturday morning at Northwestern Memorial hospital after recently being hospitalized for pneumonia.Bernard McCullough or Bernie Mac as his fans knew him, was known for his edge and off-color comedy routines. Mac made many supporting appearances in films during the 90′s such as “Friday” and “Booty Call,” but it was his recent acting in blockbusters like the ‘Oceans Eleven’ franchise and ‘Transformers’ which rocketed the comedian to super stardom.
Mac had several movies coming out in the coming months including “Soul Men” with Isaac Hayes and Samuel L. Jackson and “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” starring Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer and Chris Rock. {Source}
Bernie has long stood as one of my favourite comedians; this is really really sad. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family.
Below is one of my favourite performances from Bernie…some of you may have seen it already – “get some milk and cookies” LMAO!!!

I can’t believe it, I know that there was a rumor circulating that he had died and then it was cleared that he hadn’t; now that it has really happened has left me in awe. R.I.P.

truly sad to see him go. he contributed so much to the entertainment community. Rock and Ice-Cube pay tribute to him, found this in an article on KIIS FM's web site:

R.I.P. Bernie Mac.. He was a great comedian of all times. May God get his family, friends, and fans through this difficult time. My condolences go out and I’m saddened by his loss. But he’s in heaven with others. This video was sooooo fuuny especially about his 4 year old niece.
