MINI ROUNDUP: MORGAN FREEMAN UPDATE / BERNIE MAC UPDATE

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Morgan Freeman had surgery Monday evening to repair injuries suffered in a car accident late Sunday near his Mississippi home. The Oscar-winning actor, 71, “has a broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage but is in good spirits,” his publicist, Donna Lee, said in a statement.

Mississippi Highway Patrol Sgt. Ben Williams said Freeman was traveling east on Mississippi 32 in Tallahatchie County at 11:30 p.m. when his vehicle left the road, flipping several times. Williams said the jaws of life were used to extract Freeman, and his female passenger, Demaris Meyer, from a 1997 Nissan Maxima before both were airlifted to Regional Medical Center in Memphis. Williams reported that Freeman, who was driving, and Meyer were wearing seat belts and were conscious when emergency crews arrived.

Filmmaker Paul Saltzman spoke Monday with Freeman and said the actor, who is listed in serious condition, estimated his recovery at six to eight weeks.

Freeman had recently completed a documentary, Prom Night in Mississippi, with Saltzman, detailing the actor’s gift of a groundbreaking integrated school dance to nearby Charleston High School.

bernie mac update

Comedian Bernie Mac spent his weekend at a Chicago hospital, recovering from pneumonia, reports say.

Rumors circulated the web saying that he has passed away on Sunday, but fortunately, his publicist, Danica Smith dispelled them.

She expressed confidence over his recovery, noting that he “will be released soon.”

Mac, who is still in the hospital in Chicago, has Sarcoidosis. The condition has been in remission since 2005 and his publicist, says sarcoidosis isn’t responsible for Mac’s current illness.

My prayers to them both but people thought Bernie Mac had died boy we are quick to kill somebody off boy.

Now the media saying there could be a Dark Knight curse because of Mr. Ledger death and Christain Bale situation and now Mr. Freeman accident.

Yes, I wish both men a speedy recovery. Text messages were going around saying something like “Bernie Mac died of pneumonia. Forward this to all your friends” I was like this can’t be true. I think it would have been on the news. People shouldn’t say he’s dead if it wasn’t confirmed. Stop with the rumors. Again, I wish both Morgan & Bernie a speedy recovery.

Glad to hear both are better and wish them well.

That being said, I hope the Meyers chick isn’t the “family friend” or just plain “family” that Morgan has been accused of seeing that’s the reason for his impending divorce.

What a way to get busted!!!

Sooo, is everyone just going to dismiss the fact that Mr. Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima? Uhhh, Didnt he just play in the Dark Knight? I was expecting the media to tell us that a 2009 Cadillac was flipped. Just me, huh? lol

So Morgan is creeping at 76? Hilarious. Not the accident but the fact that he is creeping at 76. Brah’s can never get enough of the booty.

God is still in control and He WILL take care of both stars and Mr. ’s a word Freeman’s rider, but here’s a little wisdom for you if you don’t know the whole story, stick to what you know is true and leave the story telling to Dr.Seuss. YA’LL HEARD ME!!!

He is my favorite actor. He is seeking someone online now. I saw him at “”"”"”"”"”W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"”"”" last week. What kind of relationship is he looking for on that site?

People need to shut the hell up sometimes! DAMN!! So quick to say somebody is DEAD! & dont even know half the truth about what even happened. The MEDIA is good with doing that all the damn time (regular folks too—-RUMORS)!

He has been sick in the hospital before. I hope Bernie gets better & feels better. I wish him & his family well. The only thing about being hospitalized in most cases, is that you get these drugs administered to you and you come out of the hospital all bloated and puffy from the medications they give you. And in his case they mentioned STEROID as a possible treatment for his condition. He came out the hospital before looking swollen. I hope he doesn’t this time around.
