Marriage? What you talkin' about, Willis?

Gary Coleman ties the knot. And might want to tie something around his knew brides neck.

So, Valentine's Day passed; lots of stories about the different weddings. The one I found most fascinating was Different Strokes star Gary Coleman.

I had heard him years ago on Howard Stern, admit that he hasn't been intimate with a woman. He just likes to cuddle. Of course, Stern had a field day with that.

There is an 18 year age difference (and I'm guessing, an 18 inch difference). When they showed the woman, whom he had met on a movie set, I remembered seeing her before.

It was a year ago, with a few friends of mine at the Olive Garden on Carmel Mountain Road. He walked in with her and another guy. The entire restaurant was staring at him, and probably having the same conversation we were. Which went like this, "Is that him?" "No, he's taller than that." "I think that guy looks too young to be him."

The entire staff of Olive Garden was staring, and one African-American cook said, "I don't care, I'll go ask him." He walked over, asked, and then got his autograph.

I found it odd that Gary then started screaming at the waitress that he ordered the salad, not the soup. When you're famous, do you ever want to cause a scene like that? Especially when, you simply tell them they made a mistake, they'll gladly bring you the soup. Hell, they'll even bring you more breadsticks. So, chill out. It's not like the waitress said, "Hey, you got a hearty appetite for a small guy, Arnold."

Apparently, he has a temper. On one of the entertainment shows yesterday, they said the cops have been called a few different times. The reporter said, "Didn't he throw the printer and break it right before I arrived." She admitted he had, and they still hadn't made up, and sometimes his temper scares her. She said she is worried about her three dogs, since he doesn't like them.

The look on his face was priceless. It reminded me of when Robin Givens said Tyson was a nut, and he was sitting right next to her.

Coleman looked over making a face, and said something like "Yeah, but you don't have to be scared for your dogs. I'm not going to kill them."

[vote here on whether I should've done a joke that involved]

1) Michael Vick 2) O.J. Simpson 3) A cage match between 3 beagles and Gary Coleman
