K10  reports that Hollywood lost another talented entertainer on Saturday, August 9th. Comic actor Bernie Mac died earlier today of complications from pneumonia, according to his publicist and a member of his family.

Mac was only 50 years-old and had been hospitalized in his hometown of Chicago for more than a week with the lung infection. On Thursday, Mac's publicist had released that his condition was "stable." The illness wasn't related to sarcoidosis, a lung disease that Mac had which was in remission since 2005.

"When I got the call this morning, it was just devastating news," said Chicago Sun-Times columnist Stella Foster. "Let's face it: Bernie Mac was one of a kind. He was the best of the best in terms of giving you a good laugh."

Mac -- born Bernard Jeffrey McCollough -- starred in the Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show." Some recent film roles include the "Ocean's Eleven" series, "Friday," "Get on the Bus," "Transformers" and "Bad Santa."

Ah, finally a celebrity dies who I didn't have much use for.  I was getting tired of losing good ones.

geez louise, I did not care much for him either, but give the memory of the man a bit more respect than that, Mike. He must have had some good talent if he could make so many people laugh.

You know, I am not going any further. Arguing with you is pointless.

And in my own note to his family, friends, & fans, all the best to them in the trying time.

No respect for the dead, only the truth.

Why wasn't he a good one?

Re: Comedian Bernie Mac Dies at Age 50
Because I wasn't a fan of his.  Entertainment is subjective.  The ones I like are the good ones.

I respect you opinion, entertainment is subjective. I agree with that.

That being said:

You most smoke crack, Bernie Mac was the man!

And you may have your opinion.

I'm just glad someone I like didn't die for a change.

Re: Comedian Bernie Mac Dies at Age 50
I don't have an opinion on him, as I never saw him perform.
