Corey Haim, we hardly knew ye.
It's old news by now, but no less sad: the cuter of The Two Coreys was pronounced dead early this morning of a suspected overdose. Whether it was accidental or intentional remains to be seen, but either way... wow. Senseless and totally preventable.
Celebrity gossip is one of my biggest guilty pleasures, particularly when it's in the form of best- and worst-dressed lists and highlights from awards show red carpets. It's also useful as a quick pick-me-up when I'm feeling sorry for myself. At least I can wear false eyelashes without looking like a drag queen!
It can be a bummer, though, when it turns ugly and transforms a human being into a walking punchline, as this journalist notes.
My middle school crush on the Coreys was over almost as soon as it began, a supernova of hormones, exclamation "perfume" and Teen Beat magazine covers. Every now and then, though, it's refreshing to remember a time when my most urgent conflict in life focused on finding room for the new posters without having to rearrange the old ones.
Happy Wednesday, gang! Halfway to the weekend!
mmm, smells like 7th grade!
P.S. All you '80s kids out there might be interested in this Top Five List. FYI: you're going to have to fight me for Target's last copy of License to Drive.
P.P.S. These things happen in threes, right? First Boner from Growing Pains, now half of the Coreys... my money's on Gary Coleman for the trifecta.

ahhh exclamation! Even the bottle was cute!!! Something about Juicy's new perfume reminds me of my middle school perfume (I wore a few different kinds).
So sad about Corey. Apparently a few days before his OD VH1's Celeb Rehab had contacted him to come on the show. He said he didn't need help and he would never do that show. SO sad. You can't help an addict unless they want to be helped :(
Thank you for the memories!!! ox
exclamation!!!! I loved that stuff!!!
I must have grown up under a rock because I have never seen any of Corey's movies... but it is really sad...
It wasn't an overdose. It was "death by stereo."
