Okay, and so?

I keep seeing all these headlines that go something along the line of "Jackson's will leaked, ex-wife snubbed", or words to that effect.

And...so? I mean, why would his ex-wife be named in his will? His kids, sure. Friends, family, whatever. But, like, I don't expect Doug to name me for anything in HIS will, and I'm pretty sure neither my mom nor dad will name the other in their wills... So does it have to be headline-type news?

I just don't GET it.

Agreed. She's an EX so of course she would be snubbed. I'd have been more surprised if she'd been included.

There is so very little factual information available about the situation that the media is reduced to desperate (and ridiculous) speculation and interviewing Jackson's former hairdresser for clues about his mental state. They have an actual 100% genuine factoid here re. the will and they're going to milk it for everything it's worth. Or not worth, as the case may be.

Media circus. It turns my stomach.

This is apropos of nothing, I'm just thinking aloud, but I have been thinking about those boys who brought suit against him. We're never going to know if any of it was true, but I keep thinking that, if there is truth to it, how they must be feeling, watching the world canonize him.

I did respect his music, and feel deeply sorry for him having grown up in that environment. Just, like I said, I roll back around to the media circus turning my stomach.

The media is just making me sick about all of this.

They treated him like a pedophilic freak show when he was alive, but now he's a legend, and amazing, and revolutionary, etc.

And wtf? Ex's never get anything o.0

I suppose people think she was due some sort of payoff for lending him her female parts to pop out two children for him to mistreat? I don't know. It's all beyond me.

No, totally agree with you, people are just acting so weird over this all!
