Corey Feldman Discusses Corey Haim on 'Larry King' (VIDEO)
We were saddened to hear the news of Corey Haim's passing earlier today. Corey Feldman appeared on 'Larry King Live' (weeknights, 9PM ET on CNN) to talk about his best friend. The two co-starred in several projects, including 1987's 'The Lost Boys,' a vampire flick that developed a cult following.While Feldman appreciates the good wishes of everyone, he wonders where they've been for the past ten years of Haim's life. He also encouraged people to stop jumping the gun on his death.
"They need to stop saying it's a drug overdose, because at the end of the day, until the coroner's report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows."
Watch the video after the jump.
Corey Haim's TV Legacy: 'The Two Coreys'?
Former child star Corey Haim, who rose to fame in the '80s with such big screen hits as 'The Lost Boys' and 'Lucas,' was found dead this morning of an apparent drug overdose. He was 38. The news, which was first reported by Fox's Los Angeles affiliate KTLA and has been confirmed by the LAPD, brings to a sad close the life and career of what was once one of Hollywood's most promising young actors. While Haim is best remembered for his film collaborations with best bud and fellow-'Lost Boys' star Corey Feldman, his talent first became apparent on two now-forgotten TV shows, 'The Edison Twins' and 'Roomies,' both of which starred Haim as a regular cast member.
But for most television viewers, the lasting image of Haim will not be one of youthful promise, but instead of a burnt-out actor trying desperately to salvage his career and put his life back on track in A&E's 'The Two Coreys.' The reality show, which profiled Haim and Feldman discussing their lives and frequently arguing over Haim's substance abuse, debuted in 2007 and was subsequently canceled after two seasons.
Corey Haim Found Dead at 38
Corey Haim died early this morning of an apparent accidental overdose, the LAPD has confirmed. He was 38.Local news station KTLA is reporting that Haim was found in his Oakwood, Calif., apartment, and that his mother was at the home at the time that emergency responders arrived. TMZ is reporting that police were later called to the hospital to investigate.
Though he was better known for his work on the big screen, Haim did make a number of appearances on television, including 'The Edison Twins' and the short-lived 'Roomies.' He also appeared in the 1985 TV movie 'A Time to Live,' starring Liza Minnelli, which won him a Young Artist Award.
More recently, he co-starred in the A&E reality series 'The Two Coreys,' which documented the often rocky friendship between Haim and fellow-'80s heartthrob, Corey Feldman. The show was canceled after two seasons.

Corey vs. Corey online
The Two Coreys just started its second season on A&E. To celebrate, A&E has put together a Mortal Kombat-esque game at their site. You can play as either Corey Feldman or Corey Haim. I choose Feldman and mastered his signature move "Dreamt of Success Smackdown." If you hit forward, down, back, and Z, you blow this pink dust with purple stars right into Corey Haim's face. I won by performed the move about eleven times. Then I finished Haim with a punch. Nice, right? After I won, I unlocked the "Wooden Stake Attack." I've yet to unlock the "Gas Pedal Crunch" or the "Voodooie." That last one sounds awesome. You can also play as Corey Haim. His signature move is the "Dirty Sock Slap." You have to register at the site for it to record your progress (that is, unless you plan on playing for the rest of the evening and beating the game).
Check out Corey Vs. Corey over at A&E's site. The Two Coreys airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET / PT.

Haim and Feldman return to A&E
At the end of season one of The Two Coreys, we left off with Corey Haim and Corey Feldman at odds, their friendship still severely damaged. This season the cameras will follow the 80s icons again as they try to rekindle the bond they once had and move past their trust issues.According to the press release, this season will be even more "no-holds-barred" than last, "Corey Haim & Corey Feldman give deep, personal access to their storied friendship like never before which lends the show rare honesty and candor." We will see the friends go to therapy sessions together and deal with the Lost Boys 2 reunion. Sounds like they're more of a married couple than two old friends. Therapy sessions? Seriously?
The second season of The Two Coreys premieres June 22nd at 10 p.m. on A&E. Will you be tuning in to watch these lost souls hash it out?
Another season for the two Coreys. Try to contain your excitment.
Ready for a darker, edgier, and more real version of The Two Coreys? Too bad if you're not because that's the way the A&E reality show may turn out when it returns with new episodes.
The reason? It all stems from the falling out between 80's kid stars Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. According to an entry at Feldman's weblog, The Feldman Journal, the break-up of their friendship came after filming of the show's first season ended. Now, negotiations are underway to find a solution on how to carry on with the show.

The Two Coreys: Reunited (series premiere)
(S01E01) It's finally arrived: the reality series absolutely no one was asking for.
I'm not interested in snarking at the likes of Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. They each had success a lot of folks only dream about, and Feldman was involved in some of my favorite movies growing up, most notably Stand By Me and The Goonies. The movies in which they appeared together, such as Lost Boys and License to Drive, were "just okay" by my standards (and, being about twelve years old at the time, my standards didn't mean much).
The Coreys are back
Trust me, I'm really not making this one up. Apparently, A&E has ordered eight episodes of something called The Coreys: Return of the Lost Boys. The half hour show aims to update viewers on just what Corey Haim and Corey Feldman have been up to over the last twenty years. The 'Arts & Entertainment' network has also ordered 13 episodes of Paranormal U. This show will follow a research group at Penn State University which studies and debunks paranormal phenomena. I could see myself watching this. I like that real world X-Files theme.
All this does make me wonder though, is it time for a name change for the network? With a slate that includes Dog the Bounty Hunter, Driving Force, Family Jewels, SWAT, Paranormal U, and, The Coreys I'm just not sure A&E really represents the programming.

The Coreys are coming to television
Our buddies over at Cinematical are wondering whether this is a sign of the apocalypse. '80s teen-age pin-ups Corey Haim and Corey Feldman are teaming up for a television show. They are going to star as fictionalized versions of themselves (think: Curb Your Enthusiasm but probably without the improv). The show starts with Feldman living with his wife and son in the suburbs, when Corey Haim drops in and turns their lives upside down. Word is the production studio behind this project starts pitching it to networks tomorrow (this sounds like a VH1 program to me). Back in the '80s, the duo starred in License to Drive, The Lost Boys and Dream a Little Dream. The pair was friends in real life until Haim got too deeply into drugs while Feldman cleaned up his act.Did anyone else rip pictures of these two (especially Haim) out of teeny bopper magazines and pin them on their wall?
