TMZ got a copy of James Brown's will and, of course, they've posted it on their site for the world to see. It's been highly publicized that he excluded his partner and their 5-year-old son from the will but, after looking over what's being doled out, it seems like they're not missing out on much.
The will, which begins by noting that Brown is also known as "The Godfather of Soul," leaves his six children "furniture, appliances, furnishings, pictures, silverware, china, glass, books, jewelry, wearing apparel, boats, automobiles, and other vehicles…"
The document, signed in 2000, does not mention how much cold hard cash the estate is worth.
It really rings of decency when the phrase "cold hard cash" is used when discussing the dead. Brown's aforementioned girlfriend has filed suit and is hoping to obtain up to 1/3 of Brown's estate.
Debate also continues to swirl around which grieving loved one will receive Brown's lickin' stick and sex machine. Also widely coveted amongst family members is Brown's bag. "Everyone wants that bag," said a source close to the family, "it's brand new."

The kid's name is James Brown Jr. and he is 50% less black than his father. He'll be rich.
James Brown Jr. is adorable! How'd that happen? :)
"It's brand new!"
Funny. :)
James Brown, may he Rest In Peace, really had an UGLY mug. Someday, I hope that his son counts his blessings for NOT looking exactly like his father–WHEW! Thank goodness–probably while dancing to his papa's tune: "I FEEL GOOD!"
He really is a very cute little kid. I hope he's well taken care of once the dust settles from all this.
Junior is going tobe a celeb in his own right someday. I'm positive his mother will make sure of it.
""Everyone wants that bag," said a source close to the family, "it's brand new." Snort. Hilarious!
