Teen Idol Corey Haim is dead at 38!
Another young actor is dead before his time!Teen heartthrob Corey Haim has passes away at the age of 38.Haim died at 2:15 a.m. on Wednesday March 10, 2010 of an apparent accidental overdose. The official cause of death will be determined by an autopsy, according to the Los Angeles Coroner's office.Haim was found unresponsive inside the Oakwood apartments, between Burbank and the Hollywood Hills. Helicopters are still circling the apartment complex that is just around the corner from me. He was at home with his mother at the time. His poor mother!This must be quite possibly the most tragic news for a parent. How do we keep our kids off of drugs? It’s not just the illegal ones you have to worry about these days either. Prescription drug overdoses are at an all time high. And from Anna Nicole Smith to Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy and now allegedly Corey -- this trend in Hollywood is becoming all to familiar.Haim was officially pronounced dead Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank.The 80's idol had a history of drug addiction and most recently appeared on television with fellow teen sensation, Corey Feldman in the A&E show "The Two Corey’s," that aired from 2007 - 2008. Both the Corey's came on my show TV Watercooler (on TV Guide Network) in 2008, putting on a united front though admitting to a past of feuding over the years. Haim seemed to be in good spirits and talked about the Lost Boys sequel, although only Feldman ultimately starred in it.Haim became an 80's teen sensation after appearing in the 1986 film "Lucas" and 1987's "The Lost Boys," which also starred Corey Feldman. No comment has been made by Feldman at this time. Poor Feldman - first Michael Jackson, now this!Rest in peace, Corey Haim!!

Martin & Baldwin Slip It To Oscar
What two lines epitomize more of the shallowness that we've come to love in tinseltown than Alec Baldwin saying - "The Academy Awards- the biggest night in Hollywood since last night", or Steve Martin's- "Please welcome my longtime dear friend, and by that I mean I've never met her Sandra Bullock."
