There's nothing funny about this -- Bernie Mac has been placed in a Chicago hospital with a case of Pneumonia. The comedian is said to be responding well to treatment and should be released from the hospital in the next few days.
Mac suffers from sarcoidosis, a chronic disease that inflames organs -- so far it appears the Pneumonia is not related to that illness.

Just when we thought the set of "Ocean's 13" couldn't get any hotter - funny man Bernie Mac and Oscar nominated actor Don Cheadle showed back to shoot scenes for the highly anticipated film.
Bits and pieces of Danny Ocean's famous crowd of charming crooks hit the streets of LA Monday to film scenes at a local REI store.
During their down time, Pitt and Clooney found a moment to chat, wave at the lingering paparazzi, smoke a cigarette, text message and read the paper.
The day wrapped with George and Brad slapping on their helmets and riding away.

The Oscar-nominated actor has traded his "Hustle & Flow" Jerry Curl for swim trunks in his new film about a 1970s era coach of a swim team for troubled teens.
Taking on the role of Jim Ellis in "Pride" required Howard to whip himself into shape, losing nearly 30 pounds to get into character. "This is the first time I really had to train for a project..I had to learn how to swim, to be in a competitive state," says the actor of his training.
It wasn't all boot camp though, especially with co-star's Bernie Mac's presence keeping things light on the set.
"Every Friday he hosted a party at one of the local bars for the whole staff," Howard says of Mac, but the perks don't stop there, "and a masseuse come every Friday to take care of the crew and all of that and as a result people are applauding."
"Pride" dives into theaters this fall.
