Diff'rent Strokes Star Files Bankruptcy...

As TV's top-paid child actor in the late '70s and early '80s, Gary Coleman was pulling down a high-end, five-figure weekly
salary. By 1990, his TV fortune amounted to an estimated $7 million. It didn't last. Closing out a decade of spotty employment and bad luck, Coleman filed for bankruptcy, listing more than $72,000 in debts - approximately what he once earned in a single week on Diff'rent Strokes.

Okay, so this happens all the time... what makes this story a candidate for Bizarre News is that an Internet company launched a 14-day Gary Coleman Web-a-thon to raise funds for the cash-strapped tube icon via
the sale of Coleman-branded, commemorative plates, stickers and T-shirts.

Well, he ain't gonna rule the world, THAT'S for sure!!!

He can barely buy pants at K-Mart (both $ and sizewise). Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Hmm. I always thought he'd grown up to be Mr T.

It has been replaced by its cloudier cousin, Drizzly Manchester, who will presumably have a lot of work to do in the next five months or so.
