Late former child actor Gary Coleman finally gets his wish.

The remains of the late 'Different Strokes' star is finally cremated on Thursday, where his ashes will be stored in a safe place until the court makes a decision as to who should posses them, according to Coleman's special administrator of his estate.

Attorney Robert Jeffs says the ritual was carried out in accordance with Coleman's will, which states that no funeral service, wake, or other ceremony memorialize his passing.

Jeffs had been appointed by a Utah judge to control the estate while he decides a will dispute between ex-wife Shannon Price and Anna Gray, a former associate.

Coleman and Price divorced back in 2008, but were still living together in Santaquin, Utah, the time when the star suffered a tragic fall lost month at his home. He died two days later at the Provo, Utah hospital due to a brain hemorrhage.

Estranged wife Price had filed a petition claiming that she was still Coleman's common-law-wife. A handwritten document from 2007 was also filed that would give her possession of the estate, once it has been validated.

Yet a will has been signed by Coleman in 2005 that mentions Gray as executor and owner of the said estate.

While judicial proceedings are currently under way to determine which document is Coleman's last legal will, his ashes will be locked away in a vault, says Jeffs.


TOY STORY 3 - HEARTWARMING

Actress Joan Cusack unveils Disney Store's
Jessie Doll to celebrate 'Toy Story 3' at the Disney Store
on June 16, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois.
The original Toy Story back in 1995 somewhat sparked the trend of computerized animated film, which was such a cinematic treat, and was fun watching the toy characters with different personalities, each shining their own unique way.

Not only did Pixar achieve such technological advances, but Disney, Dreamworks and other studios as well.

Anyway, besides my kids, I enjoyed this first one quite well, being a kid at heart myself. Woody and Buzz's early rivalry as toys was worth watching over again. And I did just that!

Then Toy Story 2 would follow four years later, and I kind of have this age old notion on sequels that they don't usually measure up, whether its animated or not. And was I in for a surprise. Like the original, I enjoyed it even though not as much. And when word leaked out that they were considering a third sequel, my enthusiasm began to wane asking myself, are they serious?

Man did I eat my thoughts. And scrapped my notions!

Toy Story 3 has Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprising their alter-egos fittingly to a 'T,' for the third time as Woody and Buzz respectively. John Ratzenberger would hop on board as well as the adorable piggy bank, Don Rickles and Estelle Warren as Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, and Joan Cusack as Jessie.

The story is set at a stage where Andy (John Morris) is finally all grown up, and about to enter college. The toys also feel their owner's passion for them declining, and looks at possible scenarios after Andy's departure.
The grown-up then decides to take Woody along with him to college, while storing the rest of his toys in his mother's attic. But oops! The toys are put in the garbage by mistake. However, thanks to Woody, the rest of the toys are rescued in time and gets donated to a local day care center. Woody stays firm in his decision to stay with his owner, leaving his friends behind in the day care center.

But then Woody suddenly gets picked up a little girl named Bonnie from the neighborhood even before he could make it back to Andy. Turns out that the kid also attends the day care.

And things didn't turn out exactly as what the toys expected at the day care, as it is run by a deceptive stuffed bear named Lotso (Ned Beatty.)

Woody would eventually find out about the bad situation at the day care during his visit and would devise a scheme to save his friends from Lotso's clutches.

And it goes on from here.

Compared to the previous two sequels, this one is the perfect curtain closer to the franchise, on a roller coaster ride of fun and
adventure. But one aspect also caught me offguard.

I'm a grown man, but the closing moments of this animated flick was quite a tear jerker, no kidding. I was surprisingly moved by its wonderful message. Darn, was that a spoiler?

I definitely recommend this one!
