CONTEST CROSSWORD #327: Where There's a Will

ACROSS LITE PUZZLE: [ WHERE THERE'S A WILL] 
PROGRAM: [Across Lite]

PROGRAM: [Java]

PRINTOUT PUZZLE: [ WHERE THERE'S A WILL]
PROGRAM: [Adobe Acrobat]

It's contest time again at BEQ.com. You know the drill: After you solve the above crossword, you'll find that theme isn't apparently obvious. The contest is: What famous person, currently in the news, is hinted at in this puzzle? As always, send your answer via email, Facebook message or direct Tweet. All entries must be received by the end of the day Wednesday May 4. One entry per person. Blah blah blah. The names of all correct entries go into the hat, and they'll go in multiple times depending on evidence of promoting yours truly somehow (photographs always welcome). Two prizes will be awarded: one to a randomly selected name from the hat, the other to the most creative entry that is sent in.

Sidebar announcement/another contest to enter: My latest Visual Thesaurus puzzle is up. Get thee to it.

Good luck to all. Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
