South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have paid tribute to the late Isaac Hayes - by posting a message on the show's website.
The soul legend voiced the character of Chef in the cartoon from 1998, before he was written out of the script in 2006.
Hayes parted ways with the comedy duo after he objected to an episode ridiculing the controversial Scientology religion, of which the singer was a follower.
Their split resulted in Chef being brutally killed off in the cartoon.
However, following Hayes' death on Sunday, Stone and Parker have posted a simple 'in memoriam' tribute on website southparkstudios.com.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have lampooned the recent Writers Guild of America strike. As described by the website Hollywood Today, Wednesday's episode of the animated series featured the head of the "World Canadian Bureau" leading Canada into a costly and pointless strike. Characters in the episode also remarked that more money was lost by striking than could ever be realistically gained. (Animated shows like South Park are not covered by the Writers Guild of America contract.)

Now that it looks like Trey Parker and Matt Stone won't be doing their "Godzilla" throwback pic, Giant Monsters Attack Japan, someone else might as well capitalize on the untapped marketplace. Today it was announced that Michael Dougherty (Trick 'R Treat) has teamed with Walt Disney Pictures and Robert Zemeckis' ImageMovers on Calling All Robots, an animated sci-fi adventure the scribe plans to direct using the same type of performance capture technology recently deployed to produce "Beowulf." Read on for the massive story.

I read this article last week when Bc sent it over to me and I refused to believe it, I actually blocked it out of my head. The Onion posted an (real) interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone - the madmen behind "South Park" - where they had some really disheartening news. "Were not really doing much with movies right now, Stone tells the site. Were kind of just concentrating on the TV show. Movies are hardand I dont want to do em any more. If youre gonna do a movie, youd better be damn sure you want to do that movie, because its gonna suck to make. But the real odd part of the story is that Parker and Stone are interviewed separately... after twelve seasons together could this unstoppable duo be finished? Let us all pray.

For reportedly the first time, every episode of every season of a TV series will be streamed online in its entirety with the official launch Tuesday of the new South Park website at southparkstudios.com. In a statement, Comedy Central said that since a beta version was launched last Wednesday, it had delivered more than a million streams of full South Park episodes. The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, said in a statement that they had pushed for the site because "we got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time so we gave ourselves a legal alternative." Due to contractual issues, the episodes will not be available in the U.K., Australia and a few other countries, "but we're not far off from making that happen," South Park Digital Studios General Manager Anne Garefino said.

Speculation continued to mount in Hollywood Wednesday about how the Oscars might be produced if the writers' strike is not settled by February 4. "We are going to do it," producer Gil Cates told the Associated Press Tuesday. "I can't elaborate on how we're going to do it, because I don't want anybody to deal with the elaboration in a way that might impact its success." Some speculated that the ceremonies could be produced in animation (writers of animated programs are not covered by the WGA contract). Others, that it could be produced by David Letterman's Worldwide Pants, which has signed an interim agreement with the WGA. And Britain's Guardian newspaper proposed a "Team America Oscars" in which puppets, like those used in Matt Stone and Trey Parker's Team America: World Police, would stand in for the stars. "At least an hour could be devoted to recreating the sex scenes between Tony Leung and Wei Tang in Lust, Caution," the newspaper said.
