MAC ATTACK

There's trouble behind the scenes at The Bernie Mac Show. Fox has fired Larry Wilmore, the show's Emmy and Peabody Award-winning creator and executive producer. According to Variety, Wilmore — who is expected to end up with an overall deal at NBC — was let go because execs felt the comedy wasn't reaching its potential under his leadership. I'm glad someone took the fall for last month's painfully lame — and uncharacteristically sappy — India.Arie cameo.
