Dave Schubert remembers Gary Coleman

One of my favorite memories of Gary Colman is that he had a foot fetish (makes sense, he’s pretty close to feet). When a girl would be sitting down in a room or something, he would run and jump on their lap and rub their feet and the girl would freakout at first and then realize it was gary colman and laugh. I only noticed he did this behind closed doors, not in public. When I asked him to take his shirt off and stand on top of the bathroom sink and flex for me he got pissed. He looked amazing without his shit on. So many scars and some really ghetto looking tattoos.. Anyway in this photograph he is showing how much he wants to strangle me. Everytime I would try and get him to do something, he would flat out refuse and talk about the tabloid newspapers. So when I took this portrait I was kinda sick of him. On our last day hanging out I asked him If i could make one last portrait in his hotel room. When I noticed he didn’t bother to put his shoes on and cover his dry ashy feet I was happy.

Roger Gastman Mourns the Death of Gary Coleman


Los Angeles, CA, May 28, 2010 — Gary Coleman, the star of the sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, died this morning, after suffering a brain hemorrhage.

The news of Coleman’s death has deeply saddened Roger Gastman, creative director of R. Rock Enterprises and co-founder of Swindle and While You Were Sleeping magazines.

In 1999, Coleman was featured in issue 9 of Gastman’s While You Were Sleeping magazine. In the article, Coleman discussed his career, spirituality, and openly admitted that he was still a virgin at 32. “Still a virgin and counting,” he laughed. “Women just don’t pay attention to me.” He also discussed his two kidney transplants, saying, “Having a kidney is like having a pet, and I don’t like pets.”

In 2001, Coleman and Gastman team up for three days during the Magic Tradeshow in Las Vegas, NV, to promote While You Were Sleeping magazine. “It was the best three days of my life,” Gastman says.

Gastman grew up watching Diff’rent Strokes, and admired the child actor in his role as Arnold, as well as Coleman’s work in movies such as Midgets vs. Mascots.

“This is a sad day,” Gastman concludes. “I miss him already.”

Inspected Gadget: Red Dead Redemption + Short Film

Ahh, Red Dead Redemption from Rockstar Games. Doesn’t even do it justice to say it’s Grand Theft Auto set in the wild west. A worthwhile investment. If you need to be convinced further or are already playing, check out this trailer for a short film making its debut Saturday night (May 29) at midnight ET/PT on FOX. Directed by John Hillcoat (Yes – the same guy who did The Road and The Proposition), entirely using the game’s graphic rendering engine as his camera.

As usual, Rockstar has a funny glitch or two in their games… check out the incredible donkey lady after the jump.
