Gary Coleman is unhappy with how he is being portrayed in a new film.  Coleman alleges that the straight-to-DVD film, titled Midgets vs. Mascots, uses a body double in order to show a full frontal shot of Coleman's character.  Gary is protesting the use of the footage, claiming that the double they used is, "unattractive…and does not make me look good." 

So maybe "footage" isn’t the right term to use.  Unfortunately for Gary, producers say they have signed contracts from him in which he gave the filmmakers any and all rights to shoot nudity and use it in the film.  

Chin up, Gary…I have a feeling that no matter how "unattractive" the body double is, it's not going to be any worse than what people were already expecting.
