Gary Coleman Quietly Cremated
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Obituaries,
With no fanfare, late child actor Gary Coleman was cremated on Thursday evening in Salt Lake City, Utah. The private, no-frills procedure was completed at the behest of Coleman himself, who stated in one of his wills that he wanted no funeral or memorial services.
Coleman’s ashes have been stored while a courtroom melodrama continues in Utah. The actor’s remains, and his property, are still the subject of debate as the judge and an independent attorney appointed to the case attempt to sort out the actor’s multiple wills, strange requests and warring friends and family.
There are currently no plans for a public memorial service of any kind for the well-loved actor, who shot to fame thanks to his portrayal of Arnold on Diff’rent Strokes.

UPDATE: Gary Coleman died this afternoon at the Utah hospital.
Two days after taking a fall in his Santaquin, Utah home, Diff’rent Strokes star Gary Coleman is currently listed in critical condition with a brain hemorrhage.
The 42-year-old was transported Wednesday to an area hospital, but was later transferred Utah Valley Regional Medical Center’s ICU. Although Coleman was initially considered lucid and conscious, he is now on a life support and in a coma.
Despite their rocky relationship, Shannon Price, Coleman’s wife since August 2007, has reportedly been by his bedside the entire time.
“We are hanging in there. I don’t want to say anything else,” Dale Price, Gary’s father-in-law, stated. “We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers for speedy recovery,” manager John Alcantar added.
Back in February, Gary was transported to the hospital from the set of The Insider. He was participating in a panel discussion on the tabloid show when he had suffered a seizure.

Dana Plato’s Son Tyler Lambert Dies Tragically
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Television, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Obituaries,
It has been almost 11 years - exactly - since child actress Dana Plato died from an overdose. Plato, best known for her role as Kimberly Drummond on Diff’rent Strokes, was forced to leave the hit series in the middle of Season 6 when she became pregnant. The result was Tyler Lambert, son to Plato and her then-boyfriend Lanny Lambert. (Dana and Lanny later married, then divorced in 1990.)
Last Thursday, Tyler tragically died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The cause of death has been ruled as suicide. Dano Plato’s death was also ruled a suicide when she overdosed on painkillers on May 9, 1999. She was 34. Lambert, who died on May 6, was 25.

Gary Coleman on His Sexless Marriage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: D-List, Television, Weddings, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?,
A few days ago, we told you about actor Gary Coleman‘s secret marriage. The Diff’rent Strokes star, 40, married Shannon Price, 22, last August after meeting her on a film set.
Aside from their obvious age and height differences, there were two things particularly noteworthy about their union. Not only is this Coleman’s first ‘romantic’ relationship ever, it’s apparently one filled with anger issues.
Well - it seems there’s one more interesting huh?-fact that’ll trump those others: it’s never been consummated.
In an interview with The Insider, Coleman (for some reason) admits that - even after more than a year together - their marriage remains sexless.
“It’ll happen when it will happen. And it will happen for all the right reasons.”
Well, I would have thought marriage would have been a good excuse….but I guess it could always wait until the anniversary.
Gary Coleman-Married Man!
Posted by Elaine Furst Categories: D-List, Television, Weddings, Child Stars,
Put away the wedding gown ladies. Gary Coleman is now a married man!
According to People magazine Coleman, 40, married Shannon Price, last August 28…on her 22nd birthday!
The nuptials took place “on a mountaintop”, according to the Diff’rent Strokes star. “Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us. That was all that was there. There was nobody else.”
Coleman, who met his bride on the set of their movie Church Ball, tells People that it is also his first ever romantic relationship. “I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone,” he says. “I wasn’t saving myself, she just happened to be the one.” (Oh, how sweet!)
Coleman however, does admit that things aren’t always kisses and sweet talk between them. He says that sometimes after an argument, they can go a whole week without speaking while she claims, “he lets his anger conquer him sometimes. … He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction.” She adds, “I don’t like the violence.”
Neither of them, however, have any issues with the age difference.
Well, as they say, diff’rent strokes for VERY different folks!
