Marvin Isley, bassist for Isley Brothers, dead at 56

Categories: In Memoriam, Music

According to the Associated Press, Marvin Isley died of undisclosed causes Sunday morning at a Chicago hospital. He was 56. Isley was the bassist and youngest member of the Isley Brothers on and off until 1996, when health problems — including diabetes (which caused him to lose both legs), a stroke, and a kidney transplant — forced him into retirement.

The Isley Brothers originally formed in 1954, with Marvin joining in 1973. Their biggest hit, the Grammy-winning “It’s Your Thing,” was recorded in 1969. In 1984, Marvin, his brother Ernie, and his brother-in-law Chris Jasper formed Isley-Jasper-Isley, scoring a No. 1 R&B hit with 1985′s “Caravan of Love.” Marvin rejoined the Isleys in 1991, and the group was inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.

Categories:

sandra-bullockImage Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images Sandra Bullock made a surprise appearance at Spike TV’s “Guys Choice” awards on Saturday night — her first public appearance since her split from husband Jesse James and the adoption of son Louis. The 45-year-old actress was there to accept the “Troops Choice” Award for Entertainer of the Year, chosen by members of the military. Looking radiant in a sleek black leather dress, Bullock was presented the award by Robert Downey, Jr. and received a standing ovation from the audience at Sony Pictures Studios.

“Let’s be honest here, just for a moment. We’re all going to be honest, right?” Bullock joked. “Did I win this for being entertainer of the year, or did I win this because of the spectacular I.E.D. [improvised explosive device] explosion that became my personal life?!”

Bullock is also expected to show at tonight’s MTV Movie Awards where she is to receive the Generation Award. Her appearance at “Guys Choice,” which will eventually air on June 20, was especially noteworthy because Spike aired her ex’s short-lived reality show Jesse James is a Dead Man.

Anna Paquin discusses her decision to come out as bisexual in a new interview with Zap2It. “I’m not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life for no reason, but obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about — and frankly, I don’t see why everyone doesn’t care about them,” says the True Blood star, who came out in a gay-rights PSA this spring. “So when I was asked to participate in that PSA, it was just an obvious, ‘Well, of course I will.’”
