It’s always a strange and sad spectacle to see the family members of the deceased to fight over money and material possessions. And as of late, Robin Williams’ widow, Susan Williams, and his children are a sad display of what it looks like when money trumps mourning. Susan and Robin’s children have been fighting over the estate of the late actor. Just this month, Susan demanded more money from his estate, claiming she can’t pay the bills or mortgage. And now, Susan and Robin’s kids are hashing it out over Robin’s super-expensive bicycle collection . An attorney for Susan was in court Friday morning and asked a San Francisco judge to once and for all settle the remaining property disputes. The late actor was a avid cyclist, and he owned dozed of bikes at the time of his death. Reports claim that Williams spent more than a million dollars on his cycling hobby. Reportedly, some of his bicycles are so rare that they are worth tens of thousands of dollars. The attorney for his children—Zak, Zelda, and Cody—claims Robin’s will is very clear about who receives what and that the court doesn’t need to intervene. Both sides will meet next week in a final effort to settle the case without a judge. View Slideshow: Celebrities We Lost in 2015
Black Stuntmen’s Association Said Freedom Fighter William Robison Deserves Recognition Before the Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter movements, an African-American stagecoach driver for Wells Fargo risked life and limb to defend his people. Former slave William Robison was a miner, pioneer and freedom fighter who worked to desegregate California schools and was part of the 1856 state Convention of Colored Citizens that used petitions to allow blacks to testify in court. He even joined an armed gang that freed a group of illegally apprehended slaves in San Joaquin County, Calif, according to Wells Fargo. Besides his work in advancing civil rights, Robison’s day job was driving a Wells Fargo stagecoach between Stockton, Calif. and the Nevada gold mines. He drove the six-horse stagecoach for 40 years before retiring in 1895. The Black Stuntmen’s Association spent the last two years lobbying Wells Fargo to commemorate Robison with a commercial featuring an African-American stagecoach driver – even submitting a script – but they said the multi-national corporation has given them the runaround, association president Willie Harris told BOSSIP. “We tried to get Wells Fargo to let us do the commercial, and use a black in their commercial. They refused,” said Harris, 73, who helped create the Black Stuntmen’s Association in 1967 to challenge racism in Hollywood. “Why can’t you do a commercial with a black stagecoach driver? What’s wrong with letting a black kid know about their history?” When the black stuntmen’s group told Wells Fargo that it had members who could drive a “six-up” or a six horse stagecoach, Harris said Wells Fargo execs told him they only do a few commercials each year and could not accept unsolicited ideas. Wells Fargo can obviously advertise in any way that it wants, but it could use the goodwill after it’s $175 million settlement with the U.S. Justice Department over its unfair lending practices to African-Americans and Latinos. Wells Fargo spokeswoman Valerie Williams told BOSSIP that although they’re not pursuing the black stuntmen’s proposal, they’ve honored Robison in their corporate history book, “Since 1852,” and Robeson’s story appears on their blog and in the company’s exhibit at the San Francisco museum. Williams said that the company is committed to sharing African-American’s stories from the past to the present, and supported the film “Red Tails,” about the Tuskegee Airmen as well as a nationwide black history tour. Nevertheless, Harris said Robison deserves to be recognized with his own commercial. “That’s why I’m not gonna let Wells Fargo off the hook,” he said.

Might a sibling rivalry be brewing over an issue of national importance? Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian sat down for a special Q&A in San Francisco, telling attendees that ” we don’t have strict enough gun control ” in this country. That’s an opinion held by many. But not, it seems, an opinion shared by sister Kourtney Kardashian. Likely in a nod to Throwback Thursday, Kourtney has shared a photo on Instagram of her and Khloe Kardashian with weapons in their hands at a firing range. The photo was actually snapped as part of an outing the family went on way back on Season 1 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians . Kourtney simply wrote “Don’t Mess” as the caption to this throwback image, trying to sound all tough and, we can only presume, attempting to intimidate Scott Disick. According to recent reports, Disick was caught getting cozy with some girl in France late last month and Kourtney is considering leaving her baby daddy for real this time. And if Disick has a problem with this plan? He can direct his eyeballs to the photo above and dare to mess with Kourtney at his own risk.

Ready to break out your Kleenex, movie fans? You better be… because the first trailer for Batkid Begins has hit the Internet. The documentary tells the story of Miles Scott, a very young man who was diagnosed with leukemia at 18 months old. After after going through his final round of treatments in 2013, Scott had his wish granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation when he became a superhero for a day and was honored along the streets of San Francisco. Courtesy of Warner Bros., Batkid Begins chronicles Scott's inspiring story; from his chemotherapy to the day that he grew into a viral phenomenon. As the trailer depicts, well-known faces from Batman actors to President Barack Obama became a part of Scott's special day two years ago, cheering Batkid on as he got his wish. “He gave everybody license to just be a little absurd,” says Dark Knight composer Hans Zimmer. “Live their little dreams a little bit.” Batkid Begins comes out on June 26.
Ben Carson Delivers Speech With Missing Tooth While hitting the campaign trail for his 2016 presidential bid , Dr. Ben Carson had a little mishap at a BBQ Ham spot that left him without his front tooth. But while most people would have cancelled their public appearance and rushed to the dentist’s office…Ben decided his (more than likely inflammatory) public address needed to be heard no matter what. Via TMZ : Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson does not lack wisdom, but incisors are a different story. The Republican hopeful — who made a name for himself in 1987 as the first neurosurgeon to separate twins conjoined at the head — was stumping at Tommy’s Country Ham House in Greenville, South Carolina where he chowed down on scrambled eggs, grits and ham biscuits when he noticed a bonus on his plate … his front tooth had fallen out. The good doc stared into his plate, thought for a second then discretely placed the errant chomper into his shirt pocket. Carson then stood up and delivered an impassioned speech … with a hint of whistle. Now, that is dedication. Taking his cues from Momma Dee and pushing through without all his teeth in their proper location might just get him far in the Presidential race… TMZ

At BossipTV, everyone tries to pull their own weight. Yet and still, there is always that one who everyone knows isn’t doing JACK SQUAT. So how do those people remain on the office roster? What is it that keep them around? I don’t know, but maybe this BossipTV employee can shed some light on doing the least to get the most. Meet John Lathan. John Lathan is a 26-year-old Sales Manager. He relocated to Atlanta from San Francisco because, he says, his “scene” in San Francisco was getting too hectic. No one in the Bossip office quite understands what “scene” John was a part of in San Francisco, but they all agree he’s next in line to join the gay scene in Atlanta. He’s the ambiguously gay co-worker that flies under the radar. His desire to do the least amount of work is a source of contention in the workplace, but Sean keeps him around because he always manages to close the largest corporate advertising deals.
