Bernie Mac’s Friends Speak!

Samuel L. Jackson, his co-star in the upcoming film Soul Men, says:

It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the preeminent comedians of our generation. He was also an attentive husband, a great father and loving grandfather. I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac, and I’m honored to have finally co-starred with him in what I consider to be his finest cinematic acting achievement. My sincere prayer is that his family will be comforted by the warmth of love from all of us who knew and respected this man.

Cedric the Entertainer:

It’s hard to put into words just how I feel and what a painful loss this is. Bernie was a brother, a friend and one of the comic masters of our time. Sharing the marquee with him during the phenomenon of the Kings of Comedy tour bonded us like family, and created a unique moment in comic history marking some of the most meaningful, memorable and fun times of our lives. His comedic approach was his own brand and will definitely stand the test of time. The level of his talent always inspired me and other comedians to ‘bring their A-game.’ I promise you that you never wanted to be the guy who had to follow Bernie’s set! As a husband and father, he was THE MAN and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will truly be missed, but so well remembered.

George Clooney, fellow co-star in Ocean’s franchise:

The world just got a little less funny. He will be missed dearly.

Brad Pitt, fellow “Ocean’s” colleague, says:

I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.

Here what more stars have to say! The response is overwhelming!

Remember Me???

Lela Rochonlooks phenomenal at the age of 44. She has rounded out a little but the weight looks great on her. She wasn’t all that great of an actress back in the day but our advice is for her to get her director husband Antoine Fuqua to cast her in some of his big budget movies!

Chris & Rihanna Have Landed

There is nothing like an end of the summer getaway. Especially to the Carribean! Rihanna brought her boo, Chris Brownto her hometown of Barbados for some fun in the sun. It is good to see that these overworked overexposed stars have some down time but how long is this little tyst gonna last? Initially we gave it a couple of months. Do you think it’ll stick?
