Gary Coleman got into a small tiff with a "fan" at a bowling alley that resulted in Gary hitting him with his car. Evidently the man, Colt Rushton, was trying to snap a cell phone picture of Gary and his wife when Gary got upset. He does realize that instead of getting angry he should be thanking his lucky stars that someone still cares about him, no?
The argument reportedly escalated into an all-out brawl, complete with Gary throwing punches and his wife stealing Colt's cell phone. For the grand finale, Gary reversed his truck into Colt, knocking him to the ground and hitting another car in the process.
Gary's bodyguard had a different version of events, saying that while Coleman did indeed hit the man with his car, it wasn't intentional: "[Colt] was eventually hit by Gary's truck after darting behind it." Kinda like when people walk into your fist, right?

Did everyone see the moment on yesterday's very special episode of Divorce Court when Gary Coleman went from laughingstock to wise sage who speaks truths other men try to decimate with alcohol and products and violence? In case you missed it:
I have low-self esteem. I don't feel successful in life. I want the world for [my wife] and I get very frustrated that I can't bring it to her. I don't feel financially secure and a lot of time I feel like I'm wasting her time.
Whoa! If every drunk asshole beating up his wife and kids or sleeping with his girlfriend's best friend could say exactly what Gary Coleman did on that show, this world would be about a million times better. Tonight, drink a domestic beer for Gary.
Gary Coleman and his 22-year-old bride have already landed in divorce court so they can air their dirty laundry in public. As if we didn't have enough evidence that Hollywood screws up child actors for life, Gary provided us with this logical reasoning as to why he keeps to himself: "I don't have any friends, and I don't intend on making any. I have a relationship that's tough enough and wonderful enough … I don't want to worry about your wife, your dog, your car, your house burned down — I don't care about any of that."
More feel-good knowledge after the jump.
OH, OF COURSE THEY ARE "Gary Coleman and his disgruntled bride Shannon Price are thinking about getting divorced. Gary … is taking this matter straight to Divorce Court. He’s reportedly looking for a little guidance from Judge Toler in hopes of saving the marriage before it’s too late. … Look for their Divorce Court segment to air on May 1st." Keep in mind that gays and lesbians in this country still can't get married, because the sanctity of the institution is just too precious.
Have you ever read that if a person looks to their right while telling you something they're lying? The motions of a person's eyes while thinking are called "visual accessing cues," and a look right indicates a constructed thought – a fib – whereas a look left suggests a remembered thought.
Some people think it's bullshit, and it may be, but this is a screen grab we took from the video of Gary Coleman's new wife, Shannon Price, saying, "I just wanna be in his life."
Recent reports on Gary Coleman's marriage have said that his new bride, Shannon Price, is the only woman – living or dead – with whom he's had intercourse. But last night on The Insider, Coleman said those stories are patently false, as he's also not had sex with his wife. This from the rage-prone former child star: "It'll happen when it'll happen, and it'll happen for all the right reasons."
Here's three great reasons to get you going, Gary: You're 40, you're a virgin and she's your goddamn wife!
News broke yesterday that diminutive ex-child star Gary Coleman was "secretly married" in August to Shannon Price, a woman half his age. Now, an Inside Edition interview with the couple reveals that there's already a fair amount of trouble in this strange, strange paradise.

In an effort to bolster the ever-assailed decorum of the Internet, Mollygood looks to poetry with Someone Haiku. Each day – using 17 syllables or less – you’re given the opportunity to wax poetic about some piece of flotsam or jetsam that’s washed up on the shores of Mollygood. Hopefully this Zen practice will not only bathe you in self-discovery, but also bring a touch of Eastern class to a global network of information that’s devolved into nothing more than tit websites and provocative MySpace pictures.
Today's Someone Haiku winner is blah:
“that shit is fierce”
no longer an expression
ANTM indeed
The best us of "fierce" we've ever heard.
New one under here.
