Gary Coleman and his new bride are going on "Divorce Court."
I met Gary Coleman once and I think I kind of scared him. 
The honeymoon is over for Gary Coleman and his new bride.
The 40-year-old actor and his 22-year-old wife, Shannon Price, are set to appear on TV's "Divorce Court" on May 1 and 2. The couple wed in August after meeting on the set of the 2006 comedy "Church Ball."
Among the problems the pair discusses with Judge Lynn Toler are Coleman's anger and intimacy issues. Coleman and Price agree they have "ugly" monthly fights.
"If he doesn't get his way, he throws a temper tantrum like a five-year-old does," Price says, according to a transcript of the show provided to The Associated Press. "He like stomps the floor and yells, 'Meehhhh,' and starts throwing stuff around. He bashes his head in the wall, too."
Coleman says he gets frustrated because "the male is always the bad guy."
"When I try to state my case or explain things to her or try to get her to understand my point of view," Coleman says, "my point of view doesn't matter."
Price also complains that Coleman has no friends and inexplicably disappears from home in the middle of the night. When Toler presses him, Coleman admits he is negative.
"I don't have any friends and don't have any intention of making any," he says. "People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they're not really your friends. (They're) only there because you're a celebrity or because they want to get something from you."
Coleman went on to describe the couple's private life as "mediocre."
"It's not her fault," he says. "I always feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders every day I get up. ... There are days I don't even want to get up."
"Divorce Court" is a syndicated show on which couples appear to settle real divorce cases. The show's judge resolves issues such as alimony and asset division, and her decisions are legally binding. (Source: The New York Daily News)

Is this how he plans to make his big comeback? Marry some young chick for a few months and then go on divorce court? What a dumbass. Your done Gary, get a job at Walmart.
So weird! Did anyone watch him on the Surreal Life? He is more than a little nutty!
Yep, I caught him on Surreal Life. He's hot tempered for sure. When he first married this girl a while back he was on one of the TV news magazines and they were fighting - during the interview - when they were supposed to be talking about how happy they were as newlyweds? Strange...
I have to admit I'm mildly tempted to watch it. More to see what Judge Toler says.
