WHOA Gary Coleman vs. Avenue Q#0

Posted: 10/8/04 at 10:12pm

OK, so there's always the question of whether or not Mr. Coleman approved of his appearance in Avenue Q and I believe the word thusfar has been something to the effect that he saw the show and liked it or something.

But this just showed up on Broadway.com:

"I was excited to see Gary Coleman coming my way simply because I've been dying to ask him if he'd ever consider playing himself in Avenue Q. I mean sure, the show pokes fun at his career and, well, his family as well, but I assumed Coleman would see the value in taking control of the situation by actually appearing in the Tony-winning hit. It seems I assumed wrong. When I mentioned Q, Coleman went cold, barking: "They have absolutely no permission from me. I have not signed any paperwork and if they come to L.A., I have a lawyer waiting for them!" So I guess he doesn't want the job?! Paging Emmanuel Lewis!"

Here's the link: http://www.broadway.com/template_1.asp?CI=42540&CT=49

Maybe he's just pulling a Kerry and "flip-flopping", as they say. Anyway, he should honestly be so lucky to get to be in Avenue Q, or to get ANY job for that matter...we all know he's got time to kill.

I thought I read somewhere before that Coleman saw AVE. Q and raved about it. Coleman should do the show-- not only good for business and the show, but good for him.

And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

Well, they aren't coming to Los Angeles - not for another five years at least. The Las Vegas deal is exclusive.

I guess he garnered enough money from his appearances on "The Simpsons" and "The Surreal Life".

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

It's called sense of humor, Gary! You might want to get one.

He was very cranky on the Surreal Life. Maybe its spilling over.

BTW, if you didnt see that, its hilarious. He got very angry at the stars of the show, and walked out of a restaurant he was the Guest Manager of for the the night. It was funny lol

Regret is a bitter pill to swallow. I'm sure he's just kicking himself in his little ass cuz he said "NO!" when he was offered it.

PEACE.

My love for Vanilla Ice came flooding back when he picked Gary up like a sack of potatoes and threatened to dump him into the deep fryer. There's nothing like D list celebrities duking it out!

Wasn't Gary a security guard for a while until he got charged with assaulting a woman? Gosh, I hope the bitemarks on her ankles are recovering nicely.
