Update: Bernie Mac's rep stated he is responding well to treatment and should be released from a Chicago Hospital soon. He is expected to have a full recovery.

Our prayers go out to his family. Bernie Mac has been hospitalized with Pneumonia at a hospital in Chicago, but is expected to be released soon, his publicist confirmed on Friday. Although some reports are saying he is in critical condition and people are saying the reps are down playing it.

MR. BLING JACOB THE JEWELER SUES WYCLEF JEAN..!!

Ooooh la la la, relations have gone icy between Wyclef Jean and Jacob the Jeweler. Once the Fugees star was one of Jacob's best customers. Hell, he was one of the first rappers ever to name-check the jeweler on a record back in 2000!

But now the King of Bling, known to the authorities as Jacob Arabov, is suing 'Clef for more than $300,000!

It seems Wyclef went on a bit of a spending spree between March 2002 and January 2006, racking up a tab of $765,100 with the Jacob and Co. firm. And in court papers lodged in Manhattan today, Jacob, who's serving two and a half years in the "Big House", for lying to the cops investigating a money laundering operation, says

the rapper still owes him $319,680 of it, despite "repeated demands for payment"!
