I have some extremely sad news to report today. Golden Globe & Emmy nominated comedian/actor Bernie Mac has died today at a Chicago area hospital of complications due to pneumonia. On Friday a spokeswoman for the actor whose real name is, Bernard McCullough reported he was doing fine and responding well to the treatment but unfortunately on this day God called him home. His publicist says that no other details are available and asked that his family’s privacy be respected. Bernie apparently suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. I have to say I am shocked because I love me some Bernie Mac & he will definitely be missed. LuxeRepublic would like to send our condolences out to his family & friends. May he RIP.
Celebrities arrived in Los Angeles, CA for the 12th Annual American Black Film Festival’s World Premiere of “Love For Sale”.
Angel Conwell & Melyssa Ford pose together for the camera.
Melyssa’s favorite pose of course.
Mya looking beautiful in a spring floral dress. She’s reppin’ for the “thickim leg” girls like me. *Wink
Essence Atkins looking fab as always in her simple black & white ensemble. I’m not really feeling the shoes but she still looks nice.
Russ Parr & Angel Conwell take a flick together.
Toccara hit up the carpet displaying a messy looking wig. I’m not feeling this small Toccara, she lost too much weight. I thought she was proud to be a big & fabulous girl? Wasn’t she displaying that at the beginning of her Top Model cycle? I guess the Hollywood pressure done got to her as it always does. She looks better with the weight on her. Some people are just not meant to be that small or else they will look like a bobblehead.
More updates coming later on in the day, plus a sneak peak of this Fall’s trendy items! Gotta stay in style right?
Wowzers! This is news to our ears! Clay Aiken and his best friend, 50 year Jaymes Foster gave birth to their first child, Parker Foster Aiken. The newborn weighed in at 6 lbs 2 oz and measured 19 inches. It was reported months ago that Clay Aiken artificially inseminated his best friend, the much older Foster. Congrats to the happy family!
Former President Bill Clinton has clinched the spot as speaker for the Democratic Convention on August 27, the same day the vice presidential nominee’s speech will take place in Denver, Colorado. The convention will run from August 25-28.
When asked about whether he felt Barack Obama would qualify for our next President of the United States he simply replied:
“You could argue that nobody is ever ready to be president. I mean, I certainly learned a lot about the job in the first year.”
And then he continued by saying:
“The Constitution sets qualifications for the president. And then the people decide who they think would be the better president. I think we have two choices. I think he should win, and I think he will win.”
Obama of course responded saying that Clinton has been very “supportive” of him.
“I thought he showed extraordinary restraint in a fairly provocative interview,” Obama said. “I couldn’t ask for him to be any more gracious than he’s been and supportive since the campaign ended.”
Hillary Clinton is also expected to join the Democratic festivities with a speech of her own on the second day of the convention which is also the 88th anniversary of the day women were granted the right to vote. Several marches will be taking place in honor of the anniversary.
I have a quick question, what has Hillary done recently to help sway her voters to vote for Obama in November? Time is ticking and I am pretty sure there are still some “bitter” Hillary supporters under the bridge to deal with. Okay that was mean. What do you thinkabout Team Obama/Clinton? Do you think they’ll be able to unite the Democratic Party to take back the White House?
Is Beyonce ever going to wear her wedding ring? Will Jay ever acknowledge the fact that he’s married? Questions like these have popped up all over the internet ever since the couple wed on April 4, 2008. The couple has been mum about their nuptials and have yet to confirm that they have in fact tied the knot. I guess Beyonce fans were waiting for her to spill the beans about her special day right? Well it doesn’t look like that will happen any time soon. However, Rapper Jay-Z did speak with Vibe in their September issue about why he’s been so private about his relationship with singer Beyonce.
“I just think it’s really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself,” he tells Vibe in their September issue.
“You have to have something sacred to you and the people around you,” the 38-year-old adds. “I shared so much of my life I should have something to hold on to.”
I honestly can’t be mad at him for that. How much do you want to bet that Jay & Bee will be together for a very long time? I think I am going to add them on my list of favorite Hollywood couples along with Will & Jada. Privacy is key people, especially when you’re constantly in the public eye. I applaud them for keeping their personal lives just that, personal.
