Home Improvement Kid in Bizarre Divorce

Taran Noah Smith became famous as the youngest of Tim Allen's sons on the hit TV comedy Home Improvement, but his stardom led to a brutal money battle with his parents as he married an older woman at age 17.

Now, his marriage and his life have exploded and he's in the middle of fighting his estranged wife for what is left of his fortune, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

Taran ran away from home to wed a woman nearly twice his age over his parents' strong objections, but now tells The ENQUIRER that he recently left his wife because she announced that she preferred girls to guys! The couple agreed to have an open marriage, yet when Taran found a steady girlfriend, his angry wife smashed every dish they owned!

Now the two are not only divorced, they're fighting over ownership of a business they started together- a vegan cashew cheese making company! Those are the latest bizarre twists in the May-December love story of Taran and Heidi Van Pelt, a raw foods chef who was 32 when she married Taran three weeks after his 17th birthday.

what next? will he want to marry a goat?

I honestly didn't think she'd be the one to announce a same-sex attraction.

Actually the indiscriminate use of vegan cashew cheese can be credited for 90% of the stories printed in the National Enquirer. I know this to be a fact because I read it in the Star and they wouldn't be allowed to print it if it weren't true.

I just have a couple of questions:
How do you make "vegan cheese"?
And
Were they making this IN their trailer or in the little shack out back?

Robbo - Are you saying that vegan cheese can make you gay?

Reason #533 of why you should not get married before you can drink legally.

Vegan cheese is readily available at Whole Foods. It's pretty good, actually.

Technically, tofu is really a kind of "cheese" from soy milk.
