R.I.P. Corey Haim
What else can we say to this one? Knowing that I love the celebrity juice, my mother actually called me with this scoop and said “Corey Haim died”. My response, “overdose?” Yep. And I really don’t think I was alone in that all too predictable demise for Corey Haim, even his best friend Corey Feldman must have seen this one coming, as Haim has supposedly been working on cleaning up his act. He was seen here celebrating this comeback in 2007 with a handprint ceremony at Planet Hollywood in New York City, and almost three years later, he is dead from an overdose.After a long battle with drugs, Toronto’s Corey Haim died on Wednesday morning of a drug overdose at the age of 38. He was found by his mom in his Los Angeles apartment at 3:30 am. Corey was an ’80s teen heartthrob who was particularly famous for the vampire movie The Lost Boys and his off-screen friendship with Corey Feldman. After drugs torpedoed his career, he couch-surfed around Toronto before claiming to get clean in 2004. In 2007, he took an ad out in show business bible Variety officially announcing his comeback.
“This is not a stunt. I’m back. I’m ready to work. I’m ready to make amends.”
But Hollywood wasn’t going to let him back in at the top. Even his role in the direct-to-DVD Lost Boys sequel was cut back to a cameo. More details will be posted throughout the day as they’re announced. In the meantime, I hope this slaps a few other troubled celebrities across the head. The dead young celebrity count is seriously getting gruesome.
