“Diff’rent Strokes” star Gary Coleman is suing his parents and former business adviser, alleging they took too big a share of his earnings. A lawsuit filed in Santa Monica Superior Court also claims that W.G. and Edmonia Sue Coleman and the adviser, Anita DeThomas, caused his assets to be managed unwisely. Coleman, who turned 21 Wednesday, started acting when he was 5. Earlier this week, Coleman’s “Diff’rent Strokes” co-star, Todd Bridges, 23, pleaded innocent to attempted murder for a Feb. 2 shooting that police described as a drug-related assault.
