Depending on what website you read this weekend, you may have heard that comedian Bernie Mac was either dead, dying, in critical condition, or practically just fine.  Here are the facts:  Mac checked himself into a hospital in Chicago last Friday, and he is being treated for pneumonia.

The Post-Chronicle reported that

Comedian Bernie Mac was in “very, very critical” condition late Saturday at a Chicago hospital, according to a Chicago Sun-Times source who knows the comedian’s family.

His publicist Danica Smith says, however, that her client is “responding well to treatment and will be released soon.”   She called the reports of Mac’s death “a very horrible rumor,” and claims he’s “doing great.”
