I wasn't a fan, but 38 is too damn young.

RIP.

Not the greatest band, and they get a lot of BS. But in reality, they have some good lyrics and catchy melodies.

"What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

[_____V_____]

Gary Coleman, 42, the diminutive, wisecracking child star of the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes," whose adult life collapsed into a tabloid calamity, died Friday at a hospital in Provo, Utah. He suffered a brain hemorrhage after falling at his home in Santaquin, Utah.

Mr. Coleman was 10 when he stepped into the national spotlight in 1978, playing the witty, lovable Arnold Jackson on NBC's "Diff'rent Strokes." The role was created for him and made Mr. Coleman the best-known child star on television for the eight years the hit comedy was on the air.

He played the younger of two orphaned African-American brothers adopted by a white Manhattan millionaire after the death of their mother, the rich man's housekeeper. The show was a comedic showcase for Mr. Coleman, who looked younger than his actual age because his growth had been stunted by a congenital kidney condition.

On the set, he proved to be a thorough professional who could memorize his dialogue in a single reading and deliver it with perfect timing. His signature line, directed toward his brother Willis, played by Todd Bridges, became a nationwide catch phrase: "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

The show was such a cultural touchstone that first lady Nancy Reagan appeared on "Diff'rent Strokes" in 1983 to make an anti-drug pitch.

Mr. Coleman also had his own Saturday morning cartoon show and was a guest on "The Tonight Show," where he upstaged Johnny Carson, who jokingly asked if he wanted to take over the rest of the show.

"With all the laughing and cheering out there," he replied, "quite possibly."

Gary Wayne Coleman was born Feb. 8, 1968, in Zion, Ill., and was adopted as an infant by a blue-collar family. Mr. Coleman's kidney disease was diagnosed at 18 months, and he had his first transplant at 5.

He began modeling for a local store at 7 and appeared in TV commercials. A talent scout recommended him to producer Norman Lear, who cast the budding actor in episodes of "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons." Recognizing Mr. Coleman's appeal, Lear and his production team designed "Diff'rent Strokes" around him.

Besides his wife, survivors include his parents, W.G. Coleman and Edmonia Sue Coleman of Zion.

"Family never meant anything to me," Mr. Coleman said in 2003, "but a whole lot of trouble that I don't need."

he fell down? I think his wife killed him and is going to use the insurance money to fix her face.

Unlike all the little starlet whores, who lose all sense of self respect at a drop of a hat crying poor me over the smallest of issues.
