Would you like a signed copy of Gary Coleman’s pants?

I’m not certain whether I should manufacture a joke here about that or just let it go considering there’s actually a serious reason why that is happening.

Former Diff’rent Strokes star Gary Coleman is selling his pants on eBay. He needs the money for his regular dialysis treatments. They’re Gap athletic pants, khaki colored, with blue, green, and white stripes and Coleman has signed it. So far the bidding is up to a whopping … um … $51.00, which I

don’t think is what he was looking for. The bidding ends on January 7.

Sometimes I wonder about stars that were on popular shows decades ago but now find themselves looking for work. Can’t they find something else to do in entertainment (if they don’t want to or can’t get something in another field)? It always makes me feel uneasy when stars resort to stuff like that.
