Gary Coleman’s funeral has been canceled. For now. I hope they hurry up. Folks treat funerals like concerts… The actor was supposed to be laid to rest sometime this weekend, but plans are on hold as Coleman’s ex-wife Shannon Price and estranged parents are feuding over his body. “The family [his parents] has different plans than what is in Gary’s will,” said Coleman’s agent, Shielia Erickson. Our source reports that “No one’s come forward with what appears to be a valid will,” according to Coleman’s Gary’s attorney Randy Kester. But Todd Bridges, his old tv pal said he has a secret will. Sue and Willie Coleman — who had been estranged from the Diff’rent Strokes star since a 1989 lawsuit, in which he accused them of stealing a large portion of his child star fortune – plan to file an action for legal control over their son’s remains. The grieving parents want Coleman’s body delivered to his birthplace of Zion, Ill., where they live. “The Colemans don’t want to fight with anyone,” their lawyer said in a statement. “They just want to bring their son home.” I hope this will not be drawn out like James Brown. Oh Lord. – Written by: Courtney L.
