CHICAGO - Comedian and actor Bernie Mac, who had been hospitalized for pneumonia, died on Saturday at a Chicago area hospital, his spokeswoman said. Publicist Danica Smith confirmed the death in a statement but gave no further details. "We ask that his family's privacy continues to be respected," she said. Mac, 50, was reported to have been in stable condition on Thursday and his release from the hospital was expected in weeks. Smith had said Mac's bout with pneumonia was unrelated to his previous diagnosis of a chronic tissue inflammation, called sarcoidosis, which has been in remission since 2005. Mac was best known for his roles in the "Ocean's Eleven" trilogy and other films, including "Guess Who" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." His U.S. television sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," which ran for five seasons until 2006 on the Fox network, earned Mac two Emmy and two Golden Globe nominations. Mac first achieved national prominence after joining the Kings of Comedy stand-up tour in 1997 with Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer, tapping into an underserved market for middle-class blacks.

People who have followed F1 for years have come to realise why Shumacher seems to always be favoured by FIA. Example : 1) Hammered Jacque Villeneuve's car with his own as a battering ram to win championship. 2) The Shumi Chop which Shumi legalised. It used to be illegal. 3) The 2002 Malaysian GP incident. Shumi ran over the kerbs, oversteered and hit Montoya's car. Montoya was penalised for dangerous driving. There are many more incidents. Puzzled ... not anymore with this pic I hope. I knew there was something going on between Shumi and Bernie Eccelstone (F1 Supremo Boss and Owner)
