The Feldman Speaks

feldman031110_11.jpgCorey Feldman went on "Larry King Live" last night to talk about the death of his lifelong friend and "brother" Corey Haim, less than 12 hours after he had heard the news. I heard even Larry King was like, "Are you sure about this dude? I mean your friend literally just died." But Feldman soldiered on, firing back on last night's show at early reports that Haim had "overdosed."

"Until the coroner's report comes out and until we get specific evidence and until we know exactly what the toxicology report says, nobody knows [how Haim died], and nobody is going to know," Feldman said. "We are aware of the fact that Corey Haim has a long and detailed drug history and battled addiction for many, many years. I know it better than anybody, because I've been the guy stuffing charcoal down his throat when he was [overdosing]. I've been the guy trying to make him stand up or say a complete sentence. I've been through it with him many, many times, and it's happened very badly and very intensely through the years."

But then he went on to suggest what really might have killed Corey Haim: TMZ and Us Weekly. I knew it!

In light of Haim's death, Feldman suggested that society needs "to grow up and think about every time we laugh at somebody in the tabloids, every time we poke a finger at somebody and say, 'They're a joke' or 'They're fat' or 'They're a drug addict' or 'They're washed up' or 'They're a loser,' we need to look at ourselves and say, 'Who am I?'

Need I mention, that Corey Feldman and Corey Haim actually appeared on a reality show together where the whole point was to laugh at them for being washed-up losers. (Unless I missed the point, of course.) But I guess it's all fun and games until someone loses a Corey. And anyway, if poking fun at asshole celebrities was that dangerous, I myself should have technically killed Paris Hilton ten times over by now.

I was so very sad to hear about Corey Haim. I grew up with his movies.Yes he was a star and celebrity,but he was also a person.He woke up every day and had to deal with real problems just the way we do,and I think people look at stars as though they are made up of something different than the rest of the world.We think of them as perfect,and that just isn't so.From watching My two corey's you could definatley see he had alot of demons he was trying to deal with and that he just couldn't seem to find any peace for himself.Corey Feldmen I am so sorry you lost such a special light that had been with you for so many years and Corey I pray that you have finally found the peace you so desprately needed.You will always be that special star to us that will forever be young..

I have read a couple of reports saying he may not have OD'd but had an enlarged heart and fluid in his lungs. I think we need to wait for the ME report to find out how he died.

RIP dude.
