Gary Coleman’s last will and testament was filed today in Utah and a few its instructions have been revealed.
The document, written in 1999, states that Coleman wished to be cremated. Dion Mial, once the actor’s manager, is the executor of the estate. Such instructions are pretty standard, but Coleman’s will also included an extremely odd request.

Warrant for Lindsay Lohan Recalled
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Movies, Child Stars, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan should have limited her MTV Movie Awards appearance to the red carpet.
Following the ceremony, Linds partied a little too hard - or at least, that’s the story her SCRAM bracelet tells. After Lohan’s alcohol-monitoring device went off Sunday night, alerting authorities that she was in violation of her parole, a bench warrant was issued for her arrest.
The warrant was later recalled after a bail bondsman posted $20,000 - 10% of her $200,000 bail - to keep free Lindsay Lohan from custody.
The actress turned to her Twitter page - predictably - to deny the allegations that she violated her parole. Linds wrote: “My scram wasn’t set off-Its physically impossible considering I’ve nothing for it to go off-All of these false resports are absolutely wrong.”

Lindsay Lohan Passes Drug Tests
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues,
Lindsay Lohan has passed two drug tests.
The actress - who was ordered by a court to agree to random screening under the conditions of her recent probation hearing for driving under the influence (DUI) convictions - is said to be doing well in her bid to stay sober.
“She is clear of illegal substances. She has already taken two tests and passed both,” a source revealed.
The 23-year-old star - who was also told she must wear an alcohol-monitoring SCRAM bracelet - has impressed her parents with her bid to stay “on the straight and narrow.”
Her father Michael Lohan - who has repeatedly claimed the actress needs treatment for prescription drug addiction - said, “I am happy for her. She’s on the straight and narrow. I hope it continues.”
Michael and ex-wife Dina Lohan - who have feuded bitterly over their famous daughter - appeared before a judge in New York yesterday and claim their ongoing dispute over child support for their three kids is now resolved, leaving them to focus on helping Lindsay.

Todd Bridges, Gary Coleman’s Diff’rent Strokes co-star, has come forward with a shocking statement. According to the former child actor, he has “paperwork,” and he will “bring it out soon, that will show what [Gary Coleman’s] wishes were and what he wanted.”
The startling announcement comes just as a battle for Coleman’s remains is being waged by the actor’s loved ones. “There’s a big fight going on with [Coleman’s] parents and some other people involved, and after we bring this paperwork out, everybody’s going to shut up,” Bridges told E! Online. Shannon Price, Coleman’s ex-wife, is definitely included in the “everybody.” She recently released a statement saying that she will not release Coleman’s remains to his parents.

Jodie Foster Gives Kristen Stewart Career Advice
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Child Stars,
It’s been 8 years since their work together, but Jodie Foster still has advice to give for her Panic Room co-star Kristen Stewart.
“Just about how to not go crazy… And [how to] be a young actor who wants to have a long career,” Foster said when asked what words of wisdom she could offer.
One must wonder what former child star Foster thinks of a certain, young
actress named Lindsay Lohan...
Foster later went on to say that Stewart doesn’t necessarily need the advice: “She doesn’t need any help. She’s on the right track. She’s a good girl… And I love that kid. I spent so much time with her.”
Stewart may not be crazy and may not have career issues, but she could at least pretend to enjoy what she does at premieres and red carpet events.

Gary Coleman’s Parents Want Details
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars, Obituaries,
Gary Coleman‘s parents are desperate to know what happened to the actor before he died.
Sue and Willie Coleman - the estranged relatives of the Diff’rent Strokes actor, who passed away on Friday night after suffering from a brain hemorrhage and falling into a coma - are devastated they were unable to speak with the 42-year-old star before his passing and are anxious to know the circumstances surrounding his death.
“We would’ve loved to have been there by his side at the hospital, to let him know we love him before he passed away. This is a shock to us. We loved Gary very much. We’re going to miss him. We’re not pointing fingers at anyone, but we need to know exactly what happened. We’re not angry. We’re just concerned. Did our son fall down the stairs? Did he fall in the bathtub? We need to have some closure on our son’s life.”
Gary was admitted to hospital following the fall at his home on Wednesday evening, but his condition was so bad his 24-year-old wife Shannon Price was forced to turn off his life support machine. Although the pair had a tempestuous relationship - which saw Gary arrested in January over a domestic violence charge - police officers are convinced there is nothing suspicious about his passing.

Lindsay Lohan Reaches Out for Help…from Chanel
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Using her communication method of choice, troubled former child star Lindsay Lohan recently reached out via Twitter. The actress, who has had years of trouble with drugs and the law, asked for help…from French fashion giant Chanel.
Lohan, 23, was recently sentenced to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet. The Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor will be strapped to Lohan despite pleas from her legal reps to allow her to undergo more frequent testing instead.
True to form, Linds responded by taking to her Twitter account: “Can CHANEL please help me out by getting me some stickers to put on my SCRAM bracelet so that I can at least wear a chic dress?! maybe!?.”
Seriously, we think she has more serious problems than finding a frock to go with her alcohol monitoring bracelet.

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.

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.
