Road Warrior Gary Coleman Avenges Bitter Bowling Loss Behind the Wheel

2:35AM STV | You’d think that Gary Coleman’s wedded bliss wouldn’t have burned off so soon in the rural redoubt of Payson, Utah, where diminutive ex-child stars and their relatively Amazonian nuptial conquests have long retreated to peaceful, simple lives far removed from the flashbiulb glare of LA. But apparently even this dusky frontier 50 miles outside Salt Lake City has its predatory paps; they may wield disposable cameras, and they may or may not ask for permission, but whatever amateur shutterbug Colt Rushton did this weekend at a Payson ten-pinnery was enough to rouse Coleman from his heretofore gracious calm: More »

Where Do We Even Begin With This Trailer For ‘An American Carol’?

6:00AM Defamer Hollywood | We have learned a great many things during this election year, but chief among them is that Republicans hate Hollywood (though not really). In fact, their vendetta against Tinseltown is so strong that they have now seized the means of production, which would at least explain the trailer for the upcoming right-wing comedy An American Carol — that is, if anything could explain An American Carol. A spoof of The Christmas Carol from Republican director David Zucker, it’s the story of a Michael Moore-resembling filmmaker who is shown the error of his ways by a cast made up of Hollywood’s biggest Republicans. If that description sounds a little dry, try these details on for size: the Moore stand-in comes to his senses when he is taught to kill members of the ACLU, and George Washington is played by Jon Voight. A closer look at the insanity, after the jump: More »

What US Weekly’s List Of Star Virgins Reveals About Teenage Girls

4:20AM Defamer Hollywood | Putting together a celebrity slideshow isn’t for the faint of heart: just ask our own Molly McAleer, whose titanic work in the pursuit of compilations could kill a lesser man (and has — don’t ask us about that intern in ‘06). So how do you survive filling out an eleven-page slideshow when your subject is that most rarest of species: celebrity virgins? Well, if you’re an employee at Us Weekly, you cheat a little, padding your list with both non-virgins and non-celebrities alike! More »

Cozying Up With The Colemans

7:34AM Seth | As we noted several weeks ago, diminutive quick-cash loan company spokesman Gary Coleman has finally given up on playing the ever-dwindling Diff’rent Strokes-groupie field, and settled down with a lovely young lady named Shannon Price. Until now, little was known about the happy couple, save for the fact that Coleman sometimes accidentally launches things at Shannon’s head in moments of anger, and that at the age of 40, he is still a technical* virgin. (*A post-wrap-party exploratory session with Dana Plato notwithstanding.) Well, The Today Show set out to correct all that, by squeezing the newlyweds on a couch alongside Al Roker for some get-to-know-the-Colemans time. Enjoy, and while you’re at it, have a ball imagining what their kids will wind up looking like, should Gary ever overcome his sex-having issues. More »

Gary Coleman Tied Knot, Popped Cherry, Then Promptly Devoured His Prey

3:44AM Defamer Hollywood | A (lucky!) redhead named Shannon Price agreed to marry and deflower Diff’rent Strokes star-turned-punchline Gary Coleman in what really we’re hoping is an elaborate stunt to convince Vh1 execs to shoot a pilot episode for Strange Love 2: Short And Sweet. Taking a cue from the destructive relationship between Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen, it seems that domestic abuse is just one of the many fun activities going on at Casa Coleman since married life began! The NY Post reports that Price told Inside Edition that: “[Gary] lets his anger conquer him sometimes. He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction.’” More »

The Big List Of Attempted Celebrity Suicide Attempts

4:46AM Defamer Hollywood | Things appear to have stabled since last week’s shocking turn of events that saw Owen Wilson attempt drastic, life-ending measures upon himself: He was released from the hospital, and The Darjeeling Limited director Wes Anderson told the AP that the actor was “doing very well, he has been making [friends] laugh”. And lest fans despair that there may be no hope for a full recovery for their cherished Butterscotch Stallion, perhaps they’ll find some reassurance in MentalFloss.com’s gargantuan list of famous people who unsuccessfully attempted suicide, only to return from the brink stronger, happier, and fully equipped to star in everything from major motion pictures to seasons of The Surreal Life: Halle Berry – admitted to Parade magazine that, distraught over her failed marriage to baseball star David Justice, she tried to end her life by carbon monoxide poisoning. Drew Carey – after a rough childhood that included sexual molestation by an unknown party and his father’s death, the lovable Price is Right host attempted suicide twice in his teen years. More »
