Gotta hand it to him. Little Gary Coleman knows how to stay in the news. Well, at age 40, the pint-sized “Diffrent Strokes” star has plucked himself a wife and lost his virginity in one swoop. The lucky woman he secretly married in Nevada last August is 22-year-old Shannon Price, a redhead from Utah. Sounds like true love…

From Page Six: “I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone,” Coleman told Inside Edition, adding, “I don’t have issues with age, I have issues with intelligence. She’s more intelligent than I am, and that’s what matters to me.” Price said height wasn’t a consideration because, “He was 10 feet tall to me because he was sweet.” Still, the relationship isn’t without its problems. “He lets his anger conquer him sometimes,” Price admitted. “He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction.”

See the lovely wedding photo!

Former child star Gary Coleman thought he was about to pull in a cool $400,000 for a pair of autographed pants he tried to sell on Ebay. Errr! His size 12XL-Regular Gap Kids athletic gear sold for $500 to — get this — late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel. That’s because the six-figure bidder never came through with the funds. But Kimmel’s three-figure check cashed with no problem. Of course, he had no idea he was dealing directly with Coleman when he first bid $80 on Jan. 10, according to his publicist. Either way, he now owns a pair of little pants that once belonged to the “Different Strokes” star. Poor Gary!
