Bernie Mac Dies at Age 50

UPDATE: You can read what many of Bernie’s friends had to say about his passing here.
Comedian Bernie Mac, the Emmy-nominated actor from The Bernie Mac Show, passed away this morning after a battle with pneumonia. He was only 50-years-old.
This announcement is particular shocking given the news released just a few days ago. On Thursday, Mac’s rep said the performer - who had been hospitalized in Chicago since August 1 - was responding well to treatment and was expected to be discharged within weeks. That claim contradicted earlier reports that the Ocean’s Eleven star was in “very, very critical” condition.
Earlier today, publicist Danica Smith revealed the sad news:
“Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”
Our thoughts go out to his family.

Another Baby in the Works for Matt Damon and Wife

Is this something Sarah Silverman should be notified about?
People is exclusively reporting that actor Matt Damon is the latest Ocean’s Eleven star on the baby bandwagon. (Casey Affleck and his wife, Summer, recently had a son; Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are also expecting again.) This will be the second child for Matt and his wife, Luciana. Damon is also a stepfather to Luciana’s daughter from a previous marriage.
Last year, The Bourne Ultimatum star told Entertainment Weekly that being a new father (unexpectedly) helped him with his action role. Director Paul Greengrass said his sleepless nights actually translated well on camera.
Now that a new Bourne installment is in the works, maybe they should get production started soon? I mean Jason Bourne should really be tired of running by now, right?
