It is sad when anyone dies but I don't understand why the media pretends this guy was a big star. He was popular with 10-14 year old girls who read Tiger Beat in the 80's. Then for the next 20 years he was a go-to guy for the media when they wanted to exploit a "celebrity" train wreck. Anyone over 45 or under 30 probabyl has a hard time naming one movie he was in.

Ok................meanwhile back to stuff that's newsworthy..............

Corey Feldmen and George W. Bush's fault.

Anyone over 45 or under 30 probabyl has a hard time naming one movie he was in.

I am in the target age range and I can only name one.

Say Hello to the night...

I cheated and looked Haim up. There was a second film for which he should be remembered: License to Drive, costarring Corey Feldman and Heather Graham.

So the E! true Hollywood story finally has an ending!

I'm 36...the Lost Boys was kinda like Twilight for my age group.

You are forgetting "Lucas" which was the beginning of the "slow clap" which builds up to the enthusiastic "group clap".

I watched "The Two Corey's" a few years ago, and you could see this day coming. Feldmen kicked him to the curb after attending joint counceling with Haim. Haim was higher than a kite.

How long before Feldmen cashes in on this death?

Anyone who didn't see this one coming?

Being washed up before you hit 20 must suck.

Be Well.

I watched "The Two Corey's"

I'm so sorry for you.

Save it, Lifetime Channel Boy.

Save it, Lifetime Channel Boy.

Who doesn't love watching poorly written and produced movies with washed up actors about women extolling their revenge on evil men?

100 to 1 he started with booze"

You're both wrong.

1980's-style, flash-in-the-pan celebrity was the gateway drug to end them all.

I tried to find a Cable TV plan that offered only the Lifetime Channel for the TV my wife watches. No luck. She loves watching men get their comeuppance.

Is that what Lifetime movies are? I have seen the ads and read the descriptions, but it always seems like "Lifetime's Rape of the Week" movie and I wondered why women watched it.

I blame the movie "9 to 5" for the creation of the Lifetime Channel.

She loves watching men get their comeuppance.

My wife watches it as well. She is addicted to a show called "Armey Wives" - having never been an "army wife" herself, I do not understand why she watches.

Who?

I hope I'll be able to pick up the pieces of my shattered life aftering hearing this news.

That, and "The Burning Bed" with Farrah Fawcett.

"The Burning Bed"

Yep, I forgot about that one. I think Farrah did several tv movies in the "man-hater" genre.

She is addicted to a show called "Armey Wives"

Spud remembers seeing a fairly rude cartoon many years ago that yer post is remind Spud of.

Basically, it's a picture of a woman in a kitchen who's waxing the floor with special attachments on her feet. Washing dishes with one hand. Giving her husband a handjob with the other and cleaning a window with something held in her mouth.

The caption below read...

"Swiss Army Wife"

Spud laughed anyways.

Be Well.

I do not understand why she watches.

I have an idea, but I don't think you'd like it.

I have an idea, but I don't think you'd like it.

I know what you are thinking, but like the typical Lifetime production, there are no men in the show. It's just a bunch of women bitching about being army wives.

We need a man's version of the Lifetime Channel. Drinking, cussing, farting and bowling.

A twinkling star goes dark in the night sky and one cannot help but ask, "Can Corey Feldman's light be the next to get switched off?"

its too bad when shit like this happens...but you know..he and others like him have to take some responsibility...ALTHOUGH..whe
n you grow up in hollywood and make so much money so fast, it has to have a lasting effect on you...wouldnt you ssy?

Isn't SpikeTV still on the air?

Drinking, cussing, farting and bowling.

We already have two CSPANs.

To much UFC. The old Man's Show was pretty good. Women jumping on trampolines...

My wife watches almost nothing but NCIS reruns. I often wonder if she's trying to plot the perfect crime.

He wasn't the "Sunglasses at Night" guy?

Corey Hart was the Sunglasses at Night guy.

Sorry for the guy and for all his fans (both of them) but he ain't no Dennis Hopper.

No. -Ron Howard and Jerry Mathers

good point but also remember what era they were child stars in..I bet you can also compare thier parents...
lets see..ALSO...opie hung around andy and aunt bea in mayberry and this dope head hung around hollywood druggies...so that surely could have made a difference as well.

look at barrymore...she was a drunk and doper at about 11 or so right???

That's right.

but he ain't no Dennis Hopper

Dennis could handle his drugs.

...and still turned out fine.

That was your point, right???

Didn't barrymore's mom turn her on to coke and booze? Maybe parenting is the gateway?

I guess you could say that...but it could have easily turned into her obit here instead...

I think its the entitlement attitude or something like that with the stars and all...its not like boozing and shit are exactly new in hollywood or just for the young

I mean...remember the last picture you saw of rip torn and nolte....

I think it's funny that he quite drugs and got fat.
I would rather be stoned than fat.
I would rather be dead than fat.
I would rather be paralyzed than fat.
I would rather be an amputee than fat.
I would rather be poor than fat.
I would rather be autistic than fat.
I would rather be ugly than fat.
I would rather be socially inept than fat.
I would rather be from Rwanda than fat.

Please feel free to add your own.

Haim's finest film:

Prayer of the Rollerboys

Corey Haim plays Griffin, a rollerblader in the not so distant future of Los Angeles which is in a sad state, the city deep in crime and drug activity in the wake of a catastrophic nation-wide economic crash caused by the previous generation. A rollerblade-wearing white supremacist youth gang named the Rollerboys fight for spiritual and economic control of the city, the fascist group founded and led by a childhood neighbour of Griffin's. The Rollerboys carry out their eugenic agenda through both violent gun battles with ethnic gangs, and especially through their distribution of the drug "mist". When Griffin's little brother begins to idolise the Rollerboys and eventually starts abusing mist, Griffin is convinced by the police chief and an undercover cop (played by Patricia Arquette) to join up with the Rollerboys as a mole, in exchange for the promise of a better life for his brother. Having joined up, Griffin's loyalties to the gang are eventually called into question and he is tricked into beating his African-American friend almost to death. He also discovers that the Rollerboy's mantra "the day of the Rope is coming" actually refers to a toxic chemical "Rope" being added to the mist drug which renders its (mostly non-Caucasian) abusers sterile, thus facilitating the fascist gang's genocidal goal.

I'd rather eat McDonalds than be fat.

I can't wait until all the movie stars are animated characters created on a computer, then Hollywood can slide into the ocean where it belongs. The only thing left sticking up will be Barara Streisand's nose.

I would rather have AIDS than be fat.

Not me. You can always lose weight . . .

I'm sure he died because he didn't have a single payer health insurance plan.

While we're on the subject, I found out after eating dinner that a Zaxby's Kickin' Chicken Sandwich meal contains 67 grams of fat, 1204 calories and 2630 milligrams of sodium.

Rcade says, "While we're on the subject, I found out after eating dinner that a Zaxby's Kickin' Chicken Sandwich meal contains 67 grams of fat, 1204 calories and 2630 milligrams of sodium."

Don't you just wish that they'd break all the elements down to show how much each is involved in what we eat? Carbon, for example, and how much tax to charge for it, with every bite?

Isn't that what Progressives want - an accurate and total method for establishing taxes? I wonder how much of that sodium was of the chloride variety? What percentage of that sodium was contained in each and every seperate category of food elements dictated and regulated by law ...?

Let's progress into complete loss of freedom through the attention you devils dictate it to be, why not?

hey since this thread is about Coreys...I bet 3-1 Danni's favorite is Rachel.

Shitty Actor.

Shitty Person.

No tears shed.

Slow down there, Drama Queen.

Kanrei, lol, I thought I was the only one that knows that song and actually likes it! Now I have to go to Youtube ! :)

Rcade surrogate says, "Slow down there, Drama Queen."

Are you the Drudge Retort Freeway Patrol, or just another of those obsessed with me, personally?

Firing teachers is fine, but you have to have replacements. Now, firing administrators, and, more importantly, the education professors and state education bureacrats, who make a lot more money and have a lot less accountability than teachers, and you might make progress.

Better yet, eliminate the Dept. of Ed, all schools of education, teacher certifications, and then, allow full vouchers so everyone can go to school where they see best. Then, sit back and see if there are any problems left that educational bureacrats DIDN'T cause that need fixing....
