The Roots' drummer wasn't the only celebrity who offered condolences online: Blink 182's Mark Hoppus said, “I hope that in
heaven Gary Coleman finds the peace that eluded him on Earth, and
finally discovers what Willis was talking about.” Ryan Seacrest put together some of Coleman's best work, and Eliza Dushku retweeted the CNN news article on Coleman's death. Even Katy Perry posted the news.

Coleman, who made the line “Whatchoo
talkin' 'bout, Willis?” a catchphrase, died at 42 at “Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo after suffering an
intracranial hemorrhage earlier this week,” says the LA Times.
More than a few Gary Coleman jokes are on Twitter as well: Too soon, people!
