Fawcett’s Partner Left Out of Will

The content of late actress Farrah Fawcett’s will has been made public, with the Daily Mail revealing that the Charlie’s Angels actress included her criminal son, but not her longtime partner, Ryan O’Neal.

According to reports, the bulk of Fawcett’s $5.5 million estate was left to 24-year-old son Redmond O’Neal, in a will that was penned in 2007, shortly after the star’s cancer had spread to her liver.

However, because of O’Neal’s public battle with drug and alcohol addiction – for which he is currently incarcerated in a Los Angeles lock-up – Fawcett’s will stipulates that the money “be placed in a trust fund” that is to be controlled by two executors. O’Neal will receive a monthly allowance, as well as a single lump sum payment with which to buy his own home.

A source explained: “Farrah appointed two trustees to make sure the money supports her son’s journey into sobriety rather than giving him the means to destroy himself. Redmond’s inheritence will be tightly controlled.”

Ryan O’Neal, Fawcett’s partner of more than 15 years, added that he would support his son in any way he could, and said in a statement last week: “I loved [Farrah] so very, very much. Redmond is in the fight of his life but is doing well. I will do everything that is in my power to honor [Farrah's] memory and to protect our son.”

Jackson Son Thought Father’s Death a Joke

The eldest son of Michael Jackson, Prince Michael Jr., thought his pop star father was simply joking around when he collapsed on the living room floor and went into cardiac arrest, a source close to the family has revealed.

PMJ – Prince Michael Jr., 12 – reportedly watched Dr. Murray’s frantic attempts to revive his father while “in a trance,” believing up until the last minute that it was all just a big joke orchastrated by his father, who loved to clown around with his children.

Jackson family biographer Stacey Brown explained:

“The horror of it all is that Prince thought his dad was just being his dad and clowning, but it was real, and he watched as they worked on him.

“Prince was stunned — in a trance — just watching.

“There was no movement, just looking around and not really processing what was really happening.”

At the time of his death, Jackson was staying in a $120,000-a-month L.A. rental home with his three children, his personal cardiologist, Dr. Conrad Murray, a security guard and his manager, Frank DiLeo. Prince Michael Jr. was the only child present for Jackson’s death; the other two children, Paris and ‘Blanket,’ were in another area of the house at the time of their father’s collapse.

It was left up to DiLeo to tell the other children that their father had died, a task the manager labeled as the “single most painful moment of [his] life.”

DiLeo said: “Whatever anyone thought of Michael, he was loved by those children, truly loved. They were — and are — in pieces.”

Xzibit’s Baby Son Dies

More very sad news today.

Rapper and MTV personality Xzibit’s new born baby son has passed away.

Xzibit released the information on his Myspace blog.

“AS you all know, I shared with you the announcement of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurely. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God’s perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us.”

Our wishes go out to Xzibit and his family at this time.
