Michael Jackson's Will Surprising?

Michael Jackson's supposed last will and testament was released and filed yesterday, Wednesday July 1, 2009. This will was dated 2002. Is it possible that there may be a later will? Of course it is.

Radio, television, news... all reporting that the will is surprising and shocking.

HELL NO it isn't! You all are just looking for sensational gossip. Well, guess what? This isn't it. There might be one or two unexpected things to us, but all in all Michael Jackson's will is NOT shocking.

• Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson, was named guardian of his three children (Paris Michael Katherine, Prince Michael, and Prince Michael II). WHAT is shocking about that?
  

• Diana Ross as a back up guardian. OK, this MAY be surprising. I was under the idea that their relationship had been strained in recent years. Maybe after the child molestation charges. Maybe before. But, I never knew. The point is back in 2002, it was NOT surprising. Maybe he meant to change it, maybe he didn't.
  

• Joe Jackson was left out. Um, NOT SURPRISING. Maybe to JOE, but not to me. He did not get along with his father. He knew his father was a money-grubbing scavenger. Yes, he loved his father, but he knew who and what his father really was. So, again.. not surprising.
  

• His "intentionally" leaving out his EX-wife, Debbie Rowe-Jackson. Hmmm... she was his EX-WIFE. Not current wife. They were divorced. She was his children's mother. She was his babies mama.

• Leaving three others to be co-executors of his will, and NOT his mother. Again, not surprising. JOE would have access to the money. He hasn't divorced Katherine, and my opinion is because he knew if he left her, Michael would cut him off by the balls. As long as Joe Jackson remains married to Katherine Jackson, he is entitled to half of whatever she has. Michael made sure his father did not have control over any of his money.

• Leaving a trust to care for his family. This allows it to be private (as much as anything involving Michael Jackson can be private). I am sure this also includes his brothers, sisters, father *gag*, nieces and nephews.
  

So, please news outlets... STOP SAYING HOW SURPRISING IT WAS. Its only surprising to you that he was smart and did not list item by item so that you could get your hands on it and tear it apart.
