Not-so-exclusive: Aretha's Will[[s)

[PeaceNHarmony]

Well, Friedman always has his own, rather narcissistic take on things ... but I do love reading that Aretha was very close with [[at least) 3 of her 4 sons and that they were so dedicated to the lady.

This afternoon, a jury decided that the 2014 will that was found under a couch cushion after Aretha's death is a valid will.

So now the Judge has two wills to consider, the 11 page 2010 document, which was already agreed to be valid; and this newly validated 2014 four page document.

I agree with you on that. I have usually found his writing to be quite annoying and self-serving. I would love to see a photo of himself and his 'long-time friend' Aretha.

I think he was a big fan of hers and Aretha was happy to have a connection to a gossip columnist to keep her name out there with an occasional story, much like the random stories she used to tip-off about herself to Jet magazine [ie. Aretha is taking ballet classes or Aretha is rumoured to be starring in a movie]. Being real friends and being the 'Hollywood definition of friends' are two different things.

I have a feeling that her 2014 will from under the couch will be upheld and honoured.

TFW what’s buried under your couch cushions is worth more that what most folks make in their lifetimes:
