CAUSE OF DEATH "Authorities in Memphis say Isaac Hayes apparently died of a stroke."
Despite the fact that 66 percent of its stars died suddenly and tragically this weekend, Soul Men, starring Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes and Samuel L Jackson, will be released (albeit possibly later than planned).
Soul legend-cum-successful voice-actor Isaac Hayes died yesterday at his home in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 65.
Relatives found Hayes unconscious next to a still-running treadmill. No autopsy is planned.
Scientology got a bum rap. One dwarfish ninny jumped on a couch and professed his love for his catatonic girl bride and soon the whole world was calling everyone with a copy of Dianetics a lunatic. So Scientologists don't believe in psychiatry; so what? Christian Scientists have been eschewing doctors for years, why isn't anyone terrorizing their places of worship with fake anthrax? It's bad that Scientology demands money from its followers? Then get that collection basket out of my face, father.
Scientology isn't evil, nor is everyone who espouses the beliefs of Scientology. Actually, there's some pretty cool Scientologists out there. After the jump, meet some.

Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.
