First there was Will Smith and Scientology, now it looks like former child star Gary Coleman may have joined that bastion of racial tolerance, the LDS church (Mormons). He had moved to Utah after making a movie about LDS basketball leagues in 2005. Has he joined their ranks officially? Has Gary Coleman converted to Mormonism? All I can say is, "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"

I saw in the grocery line a headline of a rag (I don't remember which one) claiming that Coleman was dying. If true, it might explain a religious conversion (afterlife guarantees are very appealing).

RIP, Gary Coleman. I hope that you made it into the Celestial Kingdom.
