He’s not dead. . .

He’s yet alive! No. . not Jesus (well. . he’s alive too right?). . anyway, there was a crazy rumor going around last week that Bernie Mac had died. . . LIE! Less than a week after being hospitalized for pneumonia, I have the exclusive word on Bernie Mac’s condition.

“Bernie Mac is in stable condition in a Chicago area hospital,” a rep for the actor confirms. “He is responding well to treatment and hopes to be released in the next few weeks. His family thanks everyone for the well wishes and concern.”
