Poor Child Stars

“If he doesn’t get his way, he throws a temper tantrum like a 5-year-old does,” Gary Coleman's wife, Shannon Price complained on an episode of Divorce Court that airs next month. “He, like, stomps the floor and yells, ‘Meehhhh,’ and starts throwing stuff around. He bashes his head in the wall, too.”

At Least They're Not Dragging Out Michelle Obama's Kindergarten Assignments

mo.jpg• Call Bill O'Reilly! In Michelle Obama's 1985 senior thesis, she said the Princeton community at large didn't make her feel like she belonged. More proof she's unpatriotic! [CBS]

• Michael Jackson stands to lose Neverland Ranch if he doesn't fork over $24 million. Someone just take the property away from him, already. Does he even want it? [People]

• A federal judge says that Britney Spears' civil rights have not been violated. Guess one former pop star was not a part of Dr. King's dream. [Reuters]

• Maybe Gary can smear a little bit of that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter he's shilling on his hands? [RL]

• Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher have teamed together to produce a brand new reality show that is sure to be like nothing you've ever seen before. "Variety reports that the show is understood to revolve around beautiful people living in a house together." [EW]

P.S. Welcome Cord to the Stereohyped fam!

It's one thing to read about it in print, it's another thing entirely to see Gary Coleman and his new wife on video explaining how they met. Coleman says, "I never though I'd meet another human being on earth who did not know who I was," which is sort of over-stating his fame a bit, but still. Everyone deserves love, and it's Valentine's Day. So let's just hope he stops throwing things at her.

Different Strokes For Different Folks

gary_coleman.jpgYou might not know (or care), because it was top secret, but Gary Coleman wed his 22-year-old girlfriend Shannon Price "on a mountain-top" last year. Coleman and Price detailed their relationship for Inside Edition with brutal honesty. Case in point, Price was 40-year-old Coleman's first!

"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."

If he wasn't saving himself, doesn't that sort of mean that Price was the first woman who came along that would have sex with him? I think it might.

Also, he has a violent, abusive temper that Price is not afraid to talk about to the press!

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."

Hmmm… Then there's this:

"We may go a week and not speak to each other," he says.

Then again, she does help him sell all of his old pants and games on Ebay. So they've got that going for them. Best of luck to the newlyweds!

• Gary Coleman's pants sold for $400,000 on eBay. I don't know who is more pathetic, Gary Coleman for selling his pants or the guy who paid for them. [E!]

• The editor of a golf magazine got fired for ill-advisedly using a noose to illustrate the "lynch Tiger Woods" remarks made by a Golf Channel anchor, who, incidentally, was not fired. [Jossip]

• At this point, are that many people looking to listen to Prodigy's new album in one language, let alone 1,500? [Wired]

• Slim Shady's looking a little worse for the wear. [CB]

Gary Coleman Has Every Right To Look So Grumpy

• First, Gary Coleman was trying to sell his Gamecube on eBay. Now it's his car. Next month, it will be his house. Or maybe his body. But hopefully his house. [Bossip]

• Time for Diddy to fix his Wikipedia page. [SR]

• Prodigy of Mobb Deep wants everyone to know that he is still proudly "active in the streets." Until he starts his 3 1/2 year bid for criminal possesion of a loaded gun. Aren't the streets fun?!? [SOHH]

• I repeat, with the same dose of sarcasm, aren't the streets fun? [AHH]

• Can someone direct Terrence Howard toward Nappturality.com? [CL]

Some desperate soul, whose name is probably Gary Coleman, is selling Gary Coleman's signed Gamecube and games on ebay. Let's suspend reality for a minute and pretend that people are really looking to buy Gamecubes like that — who in their right mind would purchase something that was touched by hands and arms that haven't seen lotion since Diff'rent Strokes went off the air? It's called Vaseline Intensive Care, Gary.

Gary Coleman: A Retrospective

Clearly there was something in the air on the set of Diff'rent Strokes, where the child actors turned out even more messed up than average. Seriously, if Gary Coleman is the DS graduate who, by virtue of still being alive and never being brought up on attempted murder charges, is the one with a good head on his shoulders, you know there's something wrong. And while Coleman might not be known in his adult life for a raging drug addiction, he's an angry little man these days. It makes you forget that he was kind of adorable once.

And Their Inexplicable Love Affair Continues

  • Now Ushmeka (or Tameker?) is blaming the baby "scare" and they claim a wedding's still on. Well, it's their lives they're ruining. What more can you do than wish them luck. [Us]
