Isaac Hayes Shafts Church of Scientology
Filed under: Music Minute > Legal Matters
Isaac Hayes, who quit South Park over their critical portrayal of Scientology, left nothing to the infamous Church in his last will and testament.
Take that!
According to sources, the will is divided into thirds: a third to his 11 elder children, a third to his widow and young son, and a third to his charitable foundation.
And none to Xenu!
The Church requires its members to fork it over when living, so the lack of provisions in Hayes' will is a little shocking. Especially since members attended not one, but maybe four different funerals for the musician.
One of the Church's top celebrity donors, Kelly Preston, who was only loosely acquainted with Hayes, donned black for both Memphis funerals. She cried on cue while lifelong Memphis friends of Hayes snickered behind her back.
One of the biggest questions coming into play is the copyrights for Hayes' catalog of work. Many of his songs' copyrights were renewed in 1995-96 for a second 28 year term. But when those start expiring in 2024, the family will inherit a fortune on account of the Songwriters Act of 1927, which states that the copyrights transfer to the heirs once the artist has died, and they can renew from there.
So the fam is set for life.
Shut yo mouth!

Who cares about Xenu…… freaks!

Scientology sucks ass.
Oh perez how clever you said "shafts" and Isaac hayes did the theme song for Shaft! You go girlfriend! hahaha
…'Shaft'. Gotta love it.
Suck on my chocalate salty balls!
In your face Suri Cruise!
Good, that is where his money should be going..to his family, not some fucking cult.
Tom Cruise is the evil emperor of Scientology. And he's gay.
Re: Big Black Dick – Oh I misspelled it, suck em anyway Xenu!
scientolocrazies!
Scientology is a joke anyways. The man did what any good person would do. See to the well-being of his family first…

Re: JenBunny711 – Isaac Hayes WAS Shaft, actually, as well as doing the theme song
Re: _Alice_ – " All the young girls love Alice, tender young Alice they say , come over & tease me , come over & please me , Alice it's my turn today!" Love that song!

RIP Mr. Isaac Hayes!
Re: _Alice_ – Smallfry always gets ball gravy. He loves the stuff, don't you Smallie?
I though I was at a celebrity gossip blog, not a porno site. This place is filthy.
Re: sweetpiece – Yeah and they should pay back all the people they sucked into their evil cult.
It felt like Jesus was giving me a hug when I was reading this! Scientologists are BAT SHIT CRAZY!!!!!!!
As long as his kids are set that is all that matters…
uh, aha uh ah, you said shaft
LOL
As far as Issac, good for him!!! Just a shame that he couldn't stand up to the Church during his life!! You know that the Church is pissed!!!
What kind of church requires you to leave them in your will?
Watch $cientology lawyers sue his estate for "oustanding bills." Some OT level shiz, extra auditing, or some crap they say he owed the evil cult/pyramid scheme.
From what I know of Scientology, Xenu is the bad guy… not the good guy.
Your statement about Hayes is the equivalent of saying a Christian died… and didn't leave any money in his will for Satan! Shocker! Surprise!
I am so grateful thay they didn't get a dime, cause I am sure they got enough when he was alive. After Hayes' death, I saw an interview with Sam, of Sam & Dave. Hayes and his partner, wrote most of their hits. He talked about questioning Hayes why he belonged to a cult, and that being the reason they weren't as close as they use to be.
Also, there is that issue of Scientology's use of saunas and Niacin, as the cure-all. Hayes had a stroke (it was said that on his concert tour last year, he stammered over his words and had to sometimes read the lyrics-so sad.) and he may have been attempting to cure his ails, in that manner. I hope not.
I am glad Chef did not leave those tools any of his moolah. Ha ha!
The family should get all the money, that's the way it should be
I still miss him, South Park is not the same without Chef.
Oh, and Scientology sucks ass.
