Bernie Mac passed away this morning in a Chicago hospital. The 50 year old comedian died from complications due to pneumonia.

“[He] passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital,” his rep, Danica Smith, told People. “No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”

On Aug 1, Mac was admitted to a hospital at Northwestern Memorial hospital with pneumonia said his rep, adding that he was expected to recover, despite widespread rumors about the seriousness of his condition.

In February 2005, Mac, then 47, revealed that for the previous two decades he had suffered from sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in organs such as the lungs or lymph nodes. “It has not altered or limited my lifestyle,” he said at the time.

Bernie was so wonderful in Oceans 11. We lost a truly great comic today.

According to Page Six, Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are considering a move to LA. Although the couple have a happy life in Nashville with newborn daughter Sunday Rose, Nicole reportedly misses her two other children.

“They’ve been thinking about relocating so she can spend more time with the older kids,” said the source. Kidman just gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose. Her rep said that she and Urban had “bought a small house” in LA but that “she doesn’t comment on her children.”

Two other children!?! Yes, despite the fact that we haven’t seen Nicole with Isabella and Connor in years, they do still exist. 13 year old Isabella and 11 year old Connor live with their father, Tom Cruise, and stepmother, Katie Holmes, in LA and Colorado.
