Even though Corey Feldman decided to skip his BFF Corey Haim’s funeral services out of respect for the family and not wanting to create a media frenzy, he did take to his blog to tap out a good-bye to his buddy.
From Corey’s blog (I will be adding the shit out of that to my RSS feed, BTW):
Dear Corey.,
This is for you on the day of your funeral. First off I am so sorry I am not there with you today. By that I mean my physical body is not with your physical body. However you know that my heart is right at your side. You also know the only reason I am truly not there is out of respect for your mother and her wishes to minimize the media attention as much as possible. I want your family to have a calm peaceful day. Hopefully we will not see one shot of the funeral on the news. Just know I am at home today projecting positive energy for you and your passing.
I miss you so much already. When I think of something funny I don’t know who to tell it to. I find myself trying to call you but then remember your not there. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realise that the dream is over. I always feared this day would come, and often rehearsed how to face it. But once confronted with the reality of it, it’s so much more painful than I could have ever imagined. Nobody will ever understand the brotherhood we shared. Nobody will ever get the inside jokes we told. Nobody will understand the magic of 22/222 . Nobody will ever know how to do the secret Corey handshake. Nobody will ever make me laugh as hard as you did. Nobody will ever make me fight as hard as you did. Nobody will ever challenge me the way you did. Nobody will ever need me the way you did.
My mission in life became saving yours. I never gave up, I tried …I walked away, but I always came back, to let you know I was there. In a dark and lonely world with spiteful angry people we always understood each others pain. I have been so hounded by the media and barraged with condolences since your death that I have not been given my own time to grief. I was still in shock while cameras were chasing me down the street looking for my feelings on the matter. When I did Larry King I could barely form sentences, but knew I had to be strong to send a message.
I never knew your death would have such a huge impact on the world. I learned something Corey, there are a lot of people out there who really love you, and appreciate the joy you have brough tho their hearts. I only wish you could see the way the world is mourning over your absence. I wish you could see how big the story is. I wish you could see your face finally filling the cover of People magazine and Entertainment Weekly! That would have meant so much to you. It is such a shame they all had to wait until you were gone to give you the respect you were due as an actor which is what you truly were. The great Canadian actor Corey Haim! I love you and I will forever keep that ring close to my heart. I will do my very best to help give you a memorial that is a celebration of your life the way you would have wanted it…..with everybody laughing and rocking out!
My heart is so broken and I know there are so many who feel the same way I do. We will remember your spirit and your fans will help me keep your legacy alive.
I pray that you are safe and warm and finally filled with peace.
I love you

If Corey Feldman’s mission in life was saving Corey Haim’s life, than he failed miserably at that on a lot of levels. I find Corey Feldman to be a particularly insincere person, but I do believe that the loss of his friend has been very hard for him.
I get that he’s a fame whore, but it he didn’t fail miserably at saving his friends life. The person with the addiction is the only one who can make the decision to save themselves. Haim had many opportunities to sober up, but unless your diligent with the work it takes to remain sober you’re going to fail.
This reeks of distasteful insincerity. You should have gone to your “best” friend’s funeral instead of blogging about it, you fucking tool.
No one can “save” another person from addiction.
I think Haim’s death was the best thing to happen to Feldman’s non-existant career. He is the ultimate douche and I think he is loving and thriving on this attention. Haim might have been a druggie, but at least he kept to himself and didn’t embarrass himself with ridiculous hair-don’ts, inapproriate Larry King appearances, and MJ impersonations that lasted way too long into the 90s.
If my best pal died, I don’t think I would have any inclination to write for the public about such personal anguish. That’s Hollywood, babe. No wonder Haim wanted to medicate himself with pills. Sheesh.
I was going to post a comment, but Jennifer summed it all up so well.
Thank you Jennifer for bloging what we all are think!!!
Oh and I forgot to clown his (CF’s) ridiculous eyebrows that belong on a resident of Glendale or something.
HAHAHAHAHAHA oh Glendale…
and uuuuhhh, yeah, what they all said. the feldster definitely has ulterior motives.
OH MY GAWD look at this delusional toolbox!!! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmJE2UsuN0M
How can there be a media frenzy at Haim’s funeral when the media has been saturated with Feldman since Corey’s death?! Feldman is full of himself.
You know what will turn you into an insincere douche with no handle on reality? Having shithead stage parents that throw you into acting when you’re a toddler and blow all the money you make. He was effed in the A from the start.
It’s not an excuse, but it must be considered when you’re passing judgment.
As much as I don’t care for Feldman, and don’t know what his friendship really was like with Haim, I couldn’t help but feel a little pang in my heart when reading this letter. I’ve lost a best friend and her death was caused by her own mistakes and demons. I know what it feels like to want to save an addict and how to it feels to have someone so desperately try to save me. It’s a common thing in addiction, when friends and family feel they can save the addict and when the addict dies they blame themselves to failing. Another poster was right in saying that only an addict can save them selves, but since addiction becomes a family disease it’s sometimes hard not to blame yourself and think over and over what you could have possibly done or not done to help your loved one.
This guy could very well be a fame whore, but it could also be because being a fame whore and searching for the spotlight is all he has known since he was a kid. I believe him when he says no one will understand what those two have experienced better then each other and if they were as close as it appears then I can believe that Feldman is halfway sincere at least. It’s very possible he didn’t want to go to the funeral because…well…he didn’t want to. I went to my best friend’s funeral when I was 17 and to this day I wish to Christ I had never went and never looked in that casket.
My dad was an addict, as was I. He got me out of a scene that has a 2% survival rate. Then I began to take care of him. For years. He was so afflicted. He was a successful businessman. He yelled at his family 80% of the time. Tried to hit me in some states, a lot more towards the end. Mostly alcohol and prescriptions.People telling me to cut off the relationship to better myself.
But he was my best friend.
I wish I had never gone to his huge funeral. His wife (whom he’d never been legally separated from but was humanly separated from), tried to kick me out of the funeral. Because I brought with me his original and current family. She collapsed at one point, and threw her head back in the air, as if in agony. And started a frenzy of sorts. People trying to come to my side, as if any of it had sides. People glaring at me with disdaining looks, like I was as crazy as him. Well, duh. I spent all my life with him. Fuck yeah I’m a functioning crazy. But now I’m just mournful. Just a functioning mourner.
It all happened so fast all around me. I took the rental car and went straight to a Romanos Macaroni Grill, and found the bartender, and gushed over shots of Jameson to anyone that would listen. So upset and fucked up by the whole situation. My family followed shortly, and we had our own, personal memorial.
To sum it up, I think CF has done what most would have. In an unfamiliar situation. Tried. Tried. Lived your life. Tried. Now mourn.
Come on, they knew each other for over twenty five years. Have a heart!
I just love how Feldman thinks whether there is a media frenzy at the funeral entirely hinges on whether he attends or not.
right?! hilarious…
Shame on you Molls. You clearly have never lost a friend who you tried desperately to rescue (from themself, drugs, depression, etc…). Your boss and I share such a friend, who no matter what we all did to try and pull her out, kept jumping head first into the darkness. We lost her 7 1/2 years ago to herself….does that mean that I, or E.B., failed or that the drugs were just too strong? Your comment about Feldman failing was cruel….you lost major points with me for that. I had been really enjoying evilbeet again, but that was obviously because Sasha had been writing more. You are immature and when the day comes that you lose someone you truly love, I hope you feel bad for the comment you wrote today. Make fun of celebrities (washed up as they may be) all you want sweetie – you’ll never be one of them no matter how hard you try.
I have never been a big fan of molls, and normally I would jump on any band wagon with someone who is bitching about her, but I have to support her on this one. That Feldman fuck is a massive tool. I truly believe he doesn’t give a rats ass about his douche twin being dead. Yes it would be insensitive to trash someone mourning the death of their “Best” friend, but I believe like everyone else that Feldman has probably wept more while listening to his “Bread’s Greatest Hits” Cd than over the passing of that jack-ass he considered a brother. I would love to know what the “secret Corey handshake” was. It probably involved latex and a lubricant.
tools have feelings too. a point made you clearly missed.
Corey Feldman reportedly got a tattoo in honor of Corey Haim today. 22/222- an inside joke that they had for years.
give the guy a break! he lost his best friend!
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site- A_ge_m_in_g l e @ c//o//m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.
Truth is Cory was well advised he doesn’t wanna get caught up in the drug sting operation with Haim’s and his mother.. and entangled in whatever else they had illegally going on..
Alot of things Feldman said ring true. But Evil Beet Gossips words ring truer. I have a feeling Feldman has been hiding behind his fame for many years whereas Haim appears to have been true to himself and the celebrity he actually warranted.
geez between EB calling pregnant women disgusting with “parasites” grwoing inside of them, and now molls immature and idiotic comments about the haim passing.. this site is truly becoming a joke..
this site needs some more “talented” people writing for it..

Much like your mission to be a halfway adequate blogger.
