Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley
Slade Smiley whom you may remember from The Real Housewives of Orange County is in court because he owes $110,000 in back child support to Michelle Arroyo. Slade is the boyfriend of reality tv star Gretchen Rossi who has been involved of some scandals of her own. Gretchen’s ex boyfriend Jay Photoglou was also in the courtroom today and Slade is furious. Slade then asked the judge to have Photoglou removed the courtroom and then Rossi was also told to leave. Story is still unfolding. Slade claims he can’t afford to pay the back child support because he is unable to get a job right now but many wonder how he has been able to take so many lavish vacations. Sounds like a bit of a dead beat dad.

Gary Coleman
Diff’rent Strokes child star Gary Coleman who rose to fame playing the character Arnold Jackson on the tv sitcom has died at the young age of 42. Coleman’s cause of death was a brain hemorrhage and he died at a hospital in Provo Utah. Coleman became ill at his home in Santaquin, Utah, on Wednesday evening and was then rushed to the hospital. He was known for his charm and one of his catch phrase lines “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” He was also recognized for his short stature, he only grew to be 4 foot 8 because of his nephritis, which is a kidney condition. Coleman had somewhat of a troubled adulthood in which he sued his parents for mismanagement and also had to file bankruptcy. He was also known for appearing on TV court shows and had run for governor of California. Coleman married 22 year old Shannon Price in 2007, but the couple had some rocky patches before even reaching their one year anniversary and he was seeking a divorce at the time of his death. Most of the headlines Coleman was making in the years before his death were generally bad news some of which included “Gary Coleman cited for disorderly conduct” (2007), “Gary Coleman in alleged bowling alley scuffle” (2008), “Gary Coleman charged with reckless driving” (2008), “Gary Coleman hospitalized for another seizure” (2010) and now this, so sad.

Lee DeWyze
The shy guy who worked at the paint store won over America and became the ninth season winner of American Idol. At the beginning of the season DeWyze was real fidgety and reserved and when he sang he almost seemed slightly embarassed at the end of his performances. He beat out Crystal Bowersox who was favored to win for most of the season. Critics are saying that Crystal far out sang Lee throughout the competition and on Tuesday night. The ninth season also seemed a bit like a season finale because it was judge Simon Cowell’s last night on the show. He is moving on to become an executive producer and will appear on a new singing competition, “The X Factor,” also on Fox. Congrats to Lee DeWyze! I am sure that Crystal Bowersox will go on to become very successful as well.
