You KNEW PerezHilton wanted to call will.i.am the 'N' word. I could see it in his eyes when I saw his rant. I could see it.

Someone needs to whoop his little monkey-ass again.

I think anyone making substantial income even thought they're young and single should still have a will set up. Didn't Heath Ledger's family have to go to court too? Even Anna Nicole's family was fighting up in court over her estate….but especially those who are the providers for their parents (like McNair was at the time of his death) – he provided for his mother, what happens now?

Messy, indeed. So now the state will take some of what otherwise should have been distributed to his wife and children. Unbelievable!

I can't believe she didn't make it her business to know about the family finances. If not for selfish reasons, she should have made sure that a will was in place to protect her children. Hasn't every black women seen Waiting to Exhale! LOL! Seriously, every woman should have her own bank account and credit cards and should know where every penny being made by her partner/spouse is going. This should be the case whether he makes $30k/yr or $30M/yr. If you don't understand finances LEARN!

"Were racial disparities absent from our health care, the deaths of more than 880,000 African Americans would have been averted from 1991 to 2000, according to a recent analysis of mortality data."

What part of the so-call healthcare reform debate addresses this?

Estates laws may vary by state, but since he died intestate (without a will) the state will get there cut FIRST.

If the probate court gave the estate to Mechelle McNair to administer, she can do what she wants to do with it, since he didn't say what he wanted done with it.

So, yes, they may have to sue if they want money from his estate. It's not automatically theirs just because they are his kids. In fact, she could make them take a paternity test to prove that they are his...

Secessionist Gov. Rick Perry Asks For Federal Loan After Rejecting Stimulus

In March, Texas Gov. Rick Perry rejected $555 million in federal stimulus money that would have expanded unemployment benefits for Texans. Perry argued at the time that accepting the stimulus dollars would force the state to expand eligibility to include thousands of low-wage workers — including part-time employees like single mothers, college students and senior citizens — which Perry bemoaned would burden tax payers with “higher taxes and expanded obligations.” When explaining the decision, Perry told Fox News, “this was pretty simple for us.” But now Perry is reversing his decision.

I can't believe McNair left his wife in the dark about his finances. I'm not saying she needed to know his assets down to the penny, but you have to plan for all kinds of eventualities. This is going to be a hot mess that could have been avoided.
