Baked Haim

First off, sorry we've been lacking in the post department this week, sometimes you just have those off weeks, so were sorry but deal with it. Also, the majority of our readers are currently on spring break. I always hate the people on spring break, not because I'm envious that there in some great location soaking up rays while I'm stuck back in NY in 50 degree, cloudy weather, but because of all their gay stories they have when they come back. I've already written my thoughts on spring break in a post last year but things haven't changed. People go on spring break, they come back and then feel the need to let the world of Facebook know that their spring break was better than anyone else's spring break and that the bartender at (insert cheesy bar) at (somewhat nice resort) was the funniest guy ever who loved them more than anyone ever could. Ok enough about spring break, it's time to tackle a rather somber issue, the death of 80s star Corey Haim.

Most people my age recognize Corey Haim as "the guy whose in those movies from the 80s." You see, we know he was in movies, but we can't remember their names. For the most part, when we can remember the names of his movies it's flicks like The Lost Boys, or Lucas. Pretty much as the 90s came, Corey disappeared into a world of drugs, booze and I'm sure STDs. He was a victim of the teen heartthrob stardom who got used up quick and than pushed out of the way because that's what happens when your a mediocre actor who gets uglier with age. Corey Haim's name will always be synonymous with Corey Feldman. Feldman pretty much went the same route as Haim in terms of living it up in the 80s and then falling off the face off the earth into a land of substance abuse.

A few years ago Feldman and Haim starred in a terrible reality show called The Two Coreys. I never watched the show as I'm sure no one else did either. I can't imagine what an episode of that show as like "Hey bro, remember when we were relevant?" "Dude, we still are, also, I think I shit my pants?" Now it'd be easy to say that both of these Corey's were train wrecks but apparently Feldman cleaned his act up, got married and I guess became a manager at a Dairy Queen? Not really sure what he's doing now. Anyway, authorities are unsure of how Haim died, all they know is that he felt weak and fell to his knees which made his mother call an ambulance. My guess is that drugs were somehow involved. Last night however, Haim's clearly grieve stricken friend Feldman appeared on Larry King last night. Yeah, if my good friend died, I don't think I'd be in the mood to talk to Larry King...on the day that my friend died. Feldman had some surprising insight though by saying that Haim "might not have overdosed." Yeah, that's a BIG might. I'm sorry to the Haim family for their loss and to all the girls out there who grew up with crushes on Haim and are sad that their childhood heartthrob is now gone. I'm sure Haim is in a better place, where the movie Lucas is a reality, and instead of not getting the girl in the end of the movie, he gets her, and still gets the awesome slow clap.
