I was trying not to post two articles back-to-back of the deceased, but in honor of Soul/Funk legend Isaac Hayes, it's only right. As many of you already heard, Isaac Hayes passed yesterday in his home. A relative found him unconscious next to his treadmill on his bedroom. The Golden Globe winner suffered from a stroke in 2006. Ironically, Hayes and Bernie Mac who passed on Saturday just wrapped a movie together with Samuel L. Jackson. Isaac Hayes is survived by his wife, Adjowa Hayes and twelve children.
When I heard that comedian and the King's of Comedy star Bernie Mac had pneumonia, I was hoping that he would have a speedy recovery. Unfortunately, the talented actor and comedian passed away earlier this morning. His family has asked for privacy at this time. Rest in peace, Mr. Bernie Mac... you will be missed.
The amazingly talented Erykah Badu performed at the 26th Annual Martin Luther King Concert Series featuring in Brooklyn, New York earlier this week. The singer who's also expecting her third child was nice enough to take the time and have a fun meet and greet with some fans after the set. Nice!

Rihanna is really country-hopping lately with all of these vacations she's been going on lately. She was spotted this time in Turks and Caicos, pictured with 80's R&B singer Anita Baker and BET's 106 & Park Vee-Jay Rocsi. Gotta love Rihanna! She's the Internet treat right now.

So, I got my hands on the impossibly-hard-to-find (for short of $30+) Vogue Italia's "Black Issue" with Naomi Campbell on the cover. Funny thing is, when I went into the bookstore, I was going to get this other magazine with M.I.A's long lost sister, Santogold. Even Senator Barack Obama supports this magazine! I just happened to look down and notice the coveted re-print of the magazine and there was no way I was going to leave it in the store. Gotta love Los Angeles...
According to Swap Politics.com, Sen. John McCain said during a rally in Lima that Obama implied that Obama has a vision other than peace because "His policy of unconditional withdrawal, regardless of conditions on the ground, could result in renewed violence". Mc Cain also made it clear that he is opposed to Obama's election as president. Mc Cain continued, arguing "We're finally winning in Iraq, and he [Obama] wants to forfeit". The bitter senator also "vowed that he'd rather lose a campaign than lose a war." The election is soon approaching...I'm sure Mc Cain will eat his words.
