James Brown's Will Does Not Include Wife or 5 Year-Old Son

James Brown's wife, Tomi Rae Hynie, and the five year-old son she had with Brown, James Brown Jr. were not included in the will, according to attorneys.

It is thought that Brown hadn't updated his will in ore than five years.

Brown has six other children, all who have been included in the will.


Hynie's attorney, Thornton Morris, said that he knows nothing of the will as it hasn't been filed in court yet. He adds that his client has no knowlegde about the will either and being as she was locked out of the estate, has no idea where the will was found.


James Brown, who died on Christmas, still has not been buried as there has been some controversy surrounding where he will be laid to rest.

Arnold Schwarzenegger underwent surgery today on his broken leg, which he suffered while skiing in Sun Valley Idaho.
The surgery lasted 90-minutes. Cables and screws were used to wire the broken bone back together.
"Following the surgery, the governor was awake, alert and talking in the recovery room," said Dr. Kevin Ehrhart, who performed the operation at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica.



James Brown's personal manager, Charles Bobbit, was at his bedside when the performer passed. "The most difficult thing is for me to stand here without him. We were a team." Bobbit said that Brown told him, "I'm going away tonight." Then he took three long, quiet breaths, and closed his eyes. Frank Copsidas, Brown's agent, said that, "It appears what happened is that he did die of a heart attack as a result of his pneumonia."



Carl Blaze, the 30-year old New York DJ who had been shot 13 times earlier this month died Saturday. Blaze was a DJ for hip-hop and R&B radio station Power 105.1 FM.

James Brown's 'Wife' Locked Out of Home

James Brown's attorney says that Tomi Rae Hynie, 36, and the Godfather of Soul were not legally married and that she has been padlocked out of his home in South Carolina.

Lawyer Buddy Dallas says it is merely for 'legal reasons' and is not a 'reflection on her as a person'.

He and Brown's accountant hired security to lock up the estate after Brown's death.
The couple reportedly hadn't seen each other in weeks, and Tomi has another home just blocks away where she had been spending a lot of her time with the couple's five year old son.

"It's not intended and I hope not interpreted to be an act of unkindness or an act of a lack of sympathy," Dallas said.

"Ms. Hynie has a home a few blocks away from Mr. Brown's home where she resides periodically when she is not with Mr. Brown. She is not without housing or home."


However, Hynie told a reporter, "This is my home," Hynie told a reporter outside the James Brown estate. "I don't have any money. I don't have anywhere to go."

Hynie also added that she had talked to James on the phone and he had told her,
"I love you, baby, and I'll see you soon."

The couple was married in 2001 but Hynie hadn't yet been divorced from the man she was previously married to, causing her and Brown's marriage to be null and void. She was Brown's fourth wife.

Brown was arrested in 2004 for assault and threatening to kill Hynie.

Dallas said that Brown's estate was left for his children. He did not elaborate further on Brown's final wishes.

Breaking News: James Brown Dead at 73

The Godfather of Soul has passed this Christmas morning.

He was admitted to a hospital yesterday with pneumonia and died at an Atlanta hospital this morning. He was 73.

Not to be of bad taste but the first thing that popped into my head after I heard it was the 1991 song by LA Style.

RIP JB.
