A video floating around showing Gary Coleman‘s huge dong is also causing a huge lawsuit of up to $10 million if the video is not removed.
Ron Carlson, the director of the documentary Midgets vs. Mascots, is fuming because kikster.com posted the footage of Coleman’s penis on their website.
Carlson says the video is “a direct and blatant violation of our rights and quite frankly offensive on so many disturbing levels.”
In the footage you see Goleman getting involved in some shower fight while wearing a bathrobe and then his penis slips out, he should have been a pornstar.
I cant believe that the director is asking for up to $10 million because footage showing Gary Coleman nude is up on a website, if he was so offended by the video then it never should have been put in the movie. View the NSFW video here.

The death of Gary Coleman came as a surprise. The fact that the woman who murde… um, married him is batshit crazy is not a surprise at all.
Coleman filed a restraining order against Shannon Price under the names John Doe VS. Jane Doe, which is why it has taken so long to surface. He wanted the restraining order because Price kept moving back into the house when he was hospitalized.
“[Shannon Price] has shown a tendency to damage, destroy and steal my property and I believe she will continue to do so in my absence and while she is trespassing in my home.
“I believe if she is given any warning of this pending order to require her to immediately vacate the home, she will cause more damage and destroy more irreplaceable memorabilia, documents, personal papers and other such valuables.
“I would therefore ask the Court to issue this order ex parte requiring her removal from the home and restraining her from going upon the premises of my home under any circumstances.”
This order was filed on February 19th, just a few months before Gary Coleman “fell” and hit his head, resulting in the chilling 911 call from Shannon where she states that she can not be in the same room with her heavily bleeding husband. She then quickly pulled the plug on her husband, ignoring the document he had signed saying that he wanted to be kept on life support. Then she took pictures beside him as he lay dying, and one of his corpse for good measure. Oh, and let’s not forget the paid interviews that she did less than 24 hours after his death, proclaiming what a loving, wonderful wife she was.
Why the hell isn’t the nutbar being investigated for murder? Seriously.

This is disgusting and I can’t believe that Shannon Price actually pulled a trick like this for a mere $10,000. Yes you read that right, she took photos of her ex-husband on his deathbed and sold them for just $10,000.
The uncensored photo is after the jump below and like I said it’s disgusting that a person would both take and sell these photos and it’s equally disgusting a magazine would buy these photos.
In another psycho move being made by Gary Coleman’s ex-wife…
Shannon Price is really enjoying her 15 minutes of infamy, and tells ET in an interview airing tonight that Gary Coleman has been cremated and she plans on dumping his ashes near some railroad tracks. I guess selling off images of him dying in a hospital bed wasn’t enough of a “f*ck you”.
She also claims:
“He wanted me to have everything. His financial problems have always been bad with people stealing from him. Gary hasn’t been able to take care of finances very well because no one taught him. [But] we survived through everything. I had some family help us. My family’s been very supportive.”
Shannon goes on to say that the reality of Gary’s death hasn’t really hit her yet. Really? Not even when she was posing for photographs next to his dead body?
I really hate this bitch. I’d say someone should punch her in the face, but she looks like she’d eat their fist.

TMZ has confirmed that the pictures of Gary Colemanon his deathbed that have been shopped around today have been bought by an unnamed tabloid. The person behind these pictures? I’ll give you one guess.
Yep, his heartless gold-digging ex-wife, Shannon Price.
Oh, it’s such a good thing that I don’t write certain words on this blog. The one that comes to mind starts with a “C”, though.
Shannon Price not only quickly pulled the plug on Gary, she also hired a production company to take the pictures of him in the hospital while he was laying there dying. One of the photos that has been sold is a picture of Price posing next to Coleman while he’s on his back and full of tubes.
So, this evil bag of douche wants people to believe that she didn’t attack Gary, then pull the plug on him as quickly as possible so that he wouldn’t wake up and tell anyone. I think the authorities need to take a good long look at the bitch. I’m all about a bit of ruthlessness here and there, but this is taking it a bit too far. I wish bad luck upon Shannon Price. By “bad luck” I mean a slow, painful industrial accident of some sort.
Four photos showing Gary Coleman as he is dying in the hospital, plus a photo that was taken of his dead body, are apparently being sold to media outlets around the world.
TMZ say they seen one of the photos and in the photo, which was taken an hour before he died, Coleman lies in bed while hooked up to a ventilation machine with his eyes shut. The photo of his dead body was taken an hour after he died.
The photos are being sold in the low five figures and someone will most likely buy these photos and then sadly publish them for us all to see, even though we won’t want to see them.
This is absolutely disgusting, who on earth would take photos of a dead body and then start shopping them around to the world. I don’t want to jump to any conclusions but does anybody else have their money on Gary Coleman‘s ex-wife, Shannon Price?
Shannon Price portrayed herself to emergency crews and hospital staff as Gary Coleman’s wife, but his former lawyer now says the pair weren’t legally married at the time of the actor’s death.
“I can confirm they’ve been divorced since August 12, 2008,” attorney Randy Kester, who handled the divorce said. “At the time of Gary’s death, they were not married. I have no knowledge if they were ever remarried.”
The discovery comes after documents were posted on ETOnline Wednesday showing the couple had divorced, though the case was sealed and their names were listed as John Doe and Jane Doe.
“Gary wanted me to keep their divorce private,” Kester says, “but now that it’s been made public, I’m compelled to say it’s all true.”
Shielia Erickson, a Salt Lake City agent who represents Price, said she isn’t sure about the couple’s marital status. “I wish I could clear that up … I’m still waiting to find out myself from Shannon.”
But she says Price and Coleman took care of each other. “They needed each other and loved each other,” says Erickson. “They wanted to work through their problems.”
However, most of us remember the couple’s appearance on Divorce Court.
Questions About Authority
The revelation that they were not legally married called into question whether Price, 24, had the authority to make any medical decisions on the actor’s behalf – as well as any future decisions, such as funeral arrangements or those concerning his estate.
The actor, 42, was taken off life support Friday with Price’s permission. A 911 call tape released Wednesday also revealed that Price initially resisted giving Coleman medical aid.
In a statement released Wednesday by Utah Valley Regional Medical Center where Coleman died revealed that the star “had completed an Advance Health Care Directive that granted Shannon Price permission to make medical decisions on his behalf.”
The document remains in effect whether or not a couple are married. Price gave the Utah medical center permission to release confirmation of the directive.
Funeral Plans
Reached for comment regarding the divorce, Coleman’s mother, Sue Coleman, said: “It’s too early for us to comment on this. Of course we’re concerned, but we need to find out more information.”
The Colemans, whom the actor had stopped communicating with approximately 15 years ago, say that Price’s brother has reached out to them regarding funeral plans, “but it’s still unclear what [the Prices] have in mind, but of course we’d love to be there.”
Price’s rep says the funeral plans are being made now: “We’re looking at Gary’s wishes in the will and also what the family wants. Shannon’s only goal is to make sure his wishes are accomplished.”
First she delays his aid, then she pulls the plug. Something in the milk aint clean, and I think a big scandal is about to blow.

The recent untimely death of Gary Coleman has made CelebBuzz come up with a list of 10 child stars who also died way before their time. I hope Lindsay Lohan is paying attention.
10. Gary Coleman
Gary’s recent death came after he struck his head during a fall. After his successful turn in ‘Diff’rent Strokes,’ Gary’s career was overshadowed by his legal and financial troubles. He was 42.
9. Brad Renfro
While he had a promising career after he appeared in ‘The Client’ when he was barely 13-years-old, his drug addiction overshadowed his talents. In 2008, Brad was found dead in his LA apartment after an apparent heroin overdose.
8. Carl Switzer
Better known as Alfalfa in the “Our Gang” franchise, Carl’s financial troubles got out of hand once he left Hollywood. In 1959, Carl was fatally shot in the groin after he attempted to rough up someone who owed him money. He was 31.
7. Corey Haim
Beloved teen idol Corey battled a massive drug addiction after his career fizzled in the ’90s. Corey passed away in March of this year due to pneumonia complications. He was 38.
6. Dana Plato
Dana’s death often serves as a touchstone for the tragic death’s of other child star who fell from grace. Like Gary, the “Diff’rent Strokes’ star saw her career fizzle after the hit show and she even resorted to doing pornography. In 1999 she committed suicide. She was 34.
5. Brigette Andersen
Like many other child stars on this list, he adorable star of “Savannah Smiles” faced problems with drug and alcohol. After her career completely fizzled, Brigette became more and more addicted to heroin and other drugs. In 1997 she accidentally overdosed. She was 21.
4. Anissa Jones
Pig-tailed Buffy from “Family Affair” saw her career skyrocket thanks to the show but had trouble finding work after the show was canceled. In 1976 she died in a friend’s home, apparently from an accidental overdose. She was 18.
3. Bobby Driscoll
Cutie-pie Bobby was the original Disney star, and he even won a special Oscar for juvenile acting in 1949. After his Disney career, Bobby became immersed in the New York art scene and was a fixture at Andy Warhol’s Factory. In 1968 he was found dead due to a heart failure in an abandoned tenement in the East Village. He was 31.
2. Judy Garland
Screen legend Judy started acting very early in her life but she shot to superstar status when she starred in “The Wizard of Oz” when she was just 16-years-old. Like most child stars, Judy struggled from a massive drug and alcohol addiction and she attempted suicide on many occasions. In 1969 she died from an apparent accidental overdose in her apartment. She was 47.
1. Michael Jackson
The King of Pop got his start as the adorable front-man for The Jackson 5. Eventually Michael achieved international success with his solo career, establishing him as musical legend. Unfortunately, his career was undermined by accusations of pedophilia and financial and legal troubles. In 2009 he died from an apparent prescription drug overdose. He was 50.
This list is missing Judith Barsi, Jonathan Brandis and River Phoenix but I can see why they chose the 10 stars that they did.

Sadly, Gary Coleman has succumbed to the injuries sustained earlier this week, and died today at 12:05 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. He died of an intracranial hemorrhage. He was 42 years old.
He had been hospitalized since Wednesday after a fall, then Thursday he slipped into a coma and was placed on life support after suffering an intracranial hemorrhage.
He was pulled of life support this morning and later passed away. His wife Shannon Price and her father were at the hospital with him.
UPDATE (James):
He was two years younger than me, so I quite literally watched him grow up.
Alas, all three of the child actors on that show went on to rather unenviable lives after the series ended. Dana Plato, who played big sister Kimberly Drummond, committed suicide by prescription drugs in May 1999 after years of personal scandal. Todd Bridges, who played big brother Willis Jackson, led a life of crime and drugs before turning his life around in recent years.
Actor Conrad Bain, who played the father, Phillip Drummond, and was ostensibly the star of the show, is retired at 87.
