Corey Haim would like to have more money

Haimad We figured Corey Haim had hit rock bottom when he and Cory Feldman launched a reality TV show to cash in on their status as VH1 nostalgia punch lines. But fate, as it often does, threw Haim a shovel and told him to keep digging. The result is this full page ad in Variety, in which the Haimster signals that he’s ready to get back to work and “make amends.” Dotting the “i” in his name with a heart really caps off his New Age smarm. Not sure if he’ll get any work from this, but having never seen anyone grovel to such a degree, we can’t help but be entertained. Via Defamer.

Pathetic, I like Corey Haim, but if he wants to work he should go to an audition like anybody else, do independent films, do theater, do TV commercials where you sell a product instead of selling yourself in a magazine ad.

This IS a stunt. Corey took ALL the money he made from the reality show and blew it on a full-page ad in Variety.

And heart dotting i is not really New Age - it's more 4th grade girl.

Life as a punchline will now continue. There will be no amends making.

Hey Jetpacks, how much is a full page in Variety? I don't work in media. Chances are he got some help from his old buddy, Corey Feldman, they still remain close friends.

Photoshop a book in his hand and you got the next poster boy for a READ campaign.

Somehow the other Corey has a job. What this one did with his reality show money? Spent it on blow?

Posted by: Somebody | Feb 8, 2008 6:17:40 PM

I don't know how to begin defending this, so all I can really say is "give him a fucking break". It's been twenty years, but he was a great actor, and I think he can be once again. Hopefully, this will just be an embarrassing footnote a few years from now after he is back on his feet and making people remember what they loved about him in the first place. And I am beyond excited for his return in Lost Boys 2. Jesus, I mean, hasn't anyone here ever known a recovering drug addict? Let him clean his life up.

Posted by: Nicholas | Feb 9, 2008 5:41:23 PM

he looks like a homeless drug addict leaning against a wall panhandling with a blunt in his hand. and the incoherent signature and creepy smile really finish the ad off nicely. umm..maybe you should sharpen your sweeping skills cause that's the only job you're gonna get. sweeping your spot on the street begging for change. what a loser.

People seem to be really down on corey and after reading various comments posted on him people just seem to be so fucking cruel.Corey has made his fair share of mistakes and has his own demons to deal with but dont we all.Put yourself in his situation if you will and think of how you would be if the world knew the in's and out's of your everyday struggles.Sure,he has been addicted and whatnot, i have experience with drug addicts myself and it hits close to home for me so maybe i'm over sensitive to it all but the last thing anyone needs to be reminded of while trying to maintain a clean lifestyle is the life they had and the things they done while high.Let him get the fuck on with his life!What gives us the right to lay judgement on someone we have no personal experience with anyway,it's almost heartbreaking when people are not supportive of him.I grew up being the typical fangirl of corey and know that he has the talent to go where he wants to go.I wish him the best of luck with everything and hope to see him get some decent roles.So what he put a ad out to get his name out there again,so what no need to crucify the guy for it.Lots of love to him.Nuff said!!!

Corey Haim looks like he needs help to get off drugs and not be exploited by A&E for lunch money for god's sake. The poor kid is obviously still slammin dope during the TV show but hey it makes the ratings that way huh?? Also, whats with Feldmans teenie bopper wife? Whod bet against my opinion that she and Haim did the dirty? Shes a whack job, uber fan.....Bless her heart...

Posted by: Kevbro | Jun 29, 2008 10:58:46 PM

Corey-

I think it sucks that you have Feldman making you look like an idiot. This reality show is making him look great and you like shit.

And he his loving it. He was your friend when you were younger. He sure as hell isn't now.

Get away from Hollywood and get off the drugs.

Enjoy your life.

Posted by: Christine | Jun 30, 2008 5:41:49 AM

Good luck Corey.You can do it. You have great potential don't let anyone tell you different or stop you.God Bless you! Take care!your friend from Louisiana

Posted by: Christian | Jun 30, 2008 5:50:00 PM

The person marked Somebody is Corey. What a dumb ass loser with nothing else to do. This guy is still f'd up on coke. When you move your mouth around like Bobby Brown its a dead give away.

My god, who are all you people judging Corey Haim? Are you all perfect? Do you all live the perfect clean lifestyle? you are all a bunch of haters!! The type of people who like when people are down to make your own miserable lives seem better!! Fuck all of you, I wish nothing but the best for Corey. and I truely believe he will succeed, as long as he doesn't let all the haters get to him!!

What a shame. Too many drugs and it shows. He looks so bad on the show and has not aged well at all. Just watching the show, Haim just seems thrown off and out of it. Somebody needs to help this guy...asap!

Posted by: Smith | Jun 30, 2008 10:34:39 PM

I think Feldman and his wife look pretty stupid most of the time -what the hell else do they want from the guy he left he is back and he is trying. I love them both but Haim has always been my favorite and still is!!!!!!!!!!Heh!

Posted by: joey | Jun 30, 2008 11:47:26 PM

He did go into a coma after having a stroke so that has some lasting affects on your brain and nervous system it doesn't mean he is still on drugs but drugs have messed him up eternally-he knows this and is still clean and trying that is great -you are still so cute-I will watch anything you act in!!!!! Can't wait to see Crank 2!!!!

Posted by: joey | Jun 30, 2008 11:51:04 PM

Is he mentally retarded? Why does he look like that? I heard he was letting guys butt slam him for drug money.

Posted by: what | Jun 30, 2008 11:52:57 PM

^That's a real clever post,there must have been considerable thought put into your two useless lines.The question is are you fucking retarded??His personal mannerisms are not up to your standards hey,because YOU must be PERFECT,sitting there behind a computer typing shit for the world to see.There is nothing wrong with the way corey looks to me,and i'm not fucking blind.You need to get a life, have you nothing better do with your time than bag out someone you dont even know.

Posted by: Raelyn (australia) | Jul 1, 2008 9:01:39 AM

Good Luck Corey. I am a fighter Pilot for the US Navy. I would like to say on behalf of myself and 13 other guys in my squadron, "We wish you luck." You were a great actor and we hope to see you in movies again. Producers are crazy to not put you in a roll.

God Bless Buddy.

Posted by: John | Jul 1, 2008 3:25:25 PM

Corey Haim you rock! Please know that. I haven't heard your name in so long. I turned on A&E and watched the 2 Corey;s and I want to just hug you! You deserve to be in movies again. I wish producers read this type of stuff. They would see that you are one of those guys that some people love to hate. I can see millions of people watching your movies just to see you in them, whether they love you or hate you.

Don't be bummed on the days you are alone. They are days to reflect and make yourself better. You have a group of girls in Pennsylvania cheering you on!


Posted by: Sabrina | Jul 1, 2008 3:28:33 PM

Corey,

You are a great actor and I pray you keep getting roles. We have all done some things in our past that aren't good. I just love the fact that God allows us to change our futures and gives us a second chance. This is your second chance Corey.

I will be looking for you in future movies!

Posted by: Kristy | Jul 1, 2008 3:31:01 PM

I think A&E knew what they were doing when they did the 2 Corey's. I love this show and have it on my Tevo so I never miss it!

Corey Haim and Corey Feldmen rock!

Posted by: Drew | Jul 1, 2008 3:32:19 PM

I would watch Corey Haim in a movie any day of the week over Tom Cruise. Someone in Hollywood needs to realize Corey Haim is much more interesting than old Tomcat.

Posted by: Friend in Virginia | Jul 1, 2008 3:33:18 PM

GO COREY HAIM! We love you!

Posted by: Patty | Jul 1, 2008 3:34:43 PM

Corey stay off drugs!! You have a huge future in TV You still have a beautiful face. Good Luck!

Posted by: Sarah | Jul 1, 2008 3:39:14 PM

God Bless Corey....We love you!!!

Posted by: Tina | Jul 1, 2008 3:40:17 PM

Does Corey have his own website that fans can write into? I think Corey Haim kicks a** and I would love to let him know that some how. I felt bad when he seemed down because he wasn't getting very positive feedback from his ad. He is Corey Haim for crying out loud. Who is anyone to put him down. Has anyone ever tried to act on the spot? It is very hard to do.
Good Luck Corey Haim!! I hope you read this!

Posted by: Samantha | Jul 1, 2008 6:54:07 PM

Posted by: MILLIE SLEASMAN | Jul 2, 2008 3:38:36 AM

My wife loves Corey Haim! I have to admit I think he's pretty cool. We have been watching A&E, along with the rest of America. I wouldn't mind seeing Corey Haim in movies again.

Posted by: Chris | Jul 2, 2008 1:19:44 PM

Anyone who grew up in the 80's knows Corey Haim. I love a good underdog story. I will pray for you Corey! I would love to see you prevail and capture Hollywood again.

Producers..if you are out there HIRE COREY HAIM!! I can promise there are a million of us military wives who would love to watch Corey Haim! We talk about him at every meeting.

My Husband is deployed to Iraq right now and he said when the computers are up and coming they watch Corey Haim in the 2 Coreys. The guys out there love it! Bring Back Corey Haim!

Posted by: Jenna | Jul 2, 2008 1:23:15 PM

corey haim has total lost his mind. he is just gone crazy. he still useing drugs and all the drugs over his life has total taken its total on his body. he is trying to act like the world is against him and his i am sorry to all the people he wronged was so fake and the show is total scripted like last season. and CH should not get back into acting. that train has already left. should try to focus on painting. and one think to all the people who are getting mad at people for having opions should lay off you are doing the same think and are on a computer and have no life either by getting on here and getting mad at them. but any who CH doing something else it is sad to see you doing a reality show just to make some money. get help and clean ur self up and come back into the enterniment industry as something else director or writer

Posted by: tikal | Jul 3, 2008 11:39:39 AM

^ tikal- to my knowledge people are not getting mad because other people have a different opinion of corey then thier own but then again i cant speak for everyone maybe with some that is the truth.Everyone has the right to be opinionated,for me personally it is how people go about it and after reading alot of posts by people commenting(on the net) on hear say ie- he done this or i heard this happened and then repeating it and making judgements based on that just makes the poster look very foolish,and yes it does make them look like they have no life.I could care less if people like corey but i and many others do like him so when we see comments like that we respond to them i guess it's human nature.Take it or leave it!!!

Posted by: Raelyn (australia) | Jul 4, 2008 10:40:54 AM

Most of you people really make me mad. You see someone who has been through alot an you just keep judgein him. No he is not God but are you? How would you feel if you lived your life in the spot light. Alot of people make mistakes an everyone desereves a second chance. I think it is time to let him make his own path. To all the people who want to judge him I only have one question. What gives you the right? Everyone has a voice, but please use it for good not evil. Corey is one hell of a guy for doing what he belives in. YOU ROCK COREY!!!!!!

Posted by: Katie | Jul 6, 2008 6:21:10 PM

Now corey this one is for you do not listen to the negative. I know from dealing with the pain that come along with being melosted that it can take you to place you never in a million years thought you would go.I also turned to drugs an drinking. Later in life I learned that I was trying to feel a very big void, I learned that it only made the pain go away for a short time. I am hopeing that you accomplish all that you desire. You have alot of fans that do belive in you do not give up on your self. Love who you are an then other will love you in return. I also feel really bad that your bestfriend did not try to protect you . That makes him a sorry a** . I got very lucky in that department I guess. I wanted to reach out to you because I see the heart you have. People think all of these kid stars have everything. They do not think of all of the things that they go through to get to where they want to be. Corey you are a fighter an alot of us want you to go far so all I have to say is I wish you all the best. May god be with you . I cant say I am your #1 fan because you have so many, I will say that I belive in you an every movie that you have ever made. I guess that makes me pretty close. Good luck an may you find love, peace an happiness.

Posted by: Katie | Jul 6, 2008 7:04:18 PM

I watched all of your movies with my kids. They really love you even though I am 68 years old I fell in love with the movie Dream a littl Dream. My youngest daughter and youngest son grew up with you an Feldman never missing a movie. Our whole family is hopeing that you make one hell of a come back. I do not belive the whole reality T.V. thing was a good move, but we still support it anyways. We want you to Make it . Even the Grandmothers love you that has to give you a good feeling .

Posted by: Lorena | Jul 6, 2008 8:57:38 PM

Corey I watched almost all of your movies an, I just wanted to say Good Luck an, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Posted by: Kevin | Jul 6, 2008 9:05:20 PM

YOU ROCK !!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU !!!!! YOU KEEP YOUR HEAD UP KID !!!!!!

Posted by: Sarah | Jul 6, 2008 9:17:03 PM

Corey, I wish you all the luck in the world. I've always loved your work!!! You have a ton of fans out there that really want to see you succeed. Love your new show...but would really like to see you in something without Feldman. I think he pulls you down and you may need to get away from him and reinvent yourself and then pick up the friendship later on.
Just my 2 cents...for what it's worth.

Posted by: Dana | Jul 7, 2008 11:38:43 AM

Ok, so i just saw a clip from next weeks episode and they are saying that Haim is back on drugs (or never stopped) that you can hear him snorting something (maybe crushing his pills up) that would be realy sad....I don't think this is going to be good for his comeback...What a shame, cause i love Corey....and I have to agree with some posts on here, he def. looks like he has aged since last season....what a shame...I think its rehab time sweetie..get your sh** together...you don't want to be a waste of talent!!!!

Posted by: Caryll | Jul 7, 2008 7:29:48 PM

Never got into Corey Haim or his movies but can easily see that people who talk with Corey Feldman about possible roles, etc. almost ALWAYS mentioned Corey Haim, as though Corey Haim is the one they really want. DOn't know for certain but I'd place my chips on the bet that Corey Haim is an unbelievable actor. Have been watching him on A&E and it seems that he is too caught up on the past (aren't we all) but if only he could let go of it somehow, he would surpass the stick in mud Feldman with flying colors. Make no mistake about it- Corey Haim has some issues but is incredibly intelligent and well spoken. I lived in LA for a very long time and I knew when he talked about the ad that he would get backlash from it. Why? Well, unfortunately LA is a place where there is alot going going on but not alot of substance. It takes a strong person to put put an ad like that, especially when he had to knwo going into it that LA is not a forgiving place. Far too many insecure and image conscious people in LA to expect rational thinking or compassion. Not going to happen. Corey Haim, if you happen to read this, please stay strong and realize that you are just as important as the next person!

Posted by: Mary | Jul 8, 2008 10:46:31 AM

Wow is Corey Feldman jealous of Corey Haim. Corey Haim you can do so much better if you cut ties with Feldman. I know a lot of those reality shows are scripted..I think..but feldman rips Haim a part the minute they are apart. Please Corey Haim. get your life together. You truly have a blessing to act!

God Bless and I will be waiting to watch any movie you are in.

Posted by: Scott | Jul 9, 2008 8:53:55 AM

I am 19 years old so I didn't really know Corey Haim growing up. My Mom rented some of his movies from the 80's and my friends and I are true Corey Haim fans! We love you Corey Haim!

We will be watching you on A & E!

Posted by: Jennifer | Jul 9, 2008 8:55:24 AM

Corey Haim-

From all the guys deployed right now in Afghanistan...Corey Haim we've got nothing better to do but watch The 2 Corey's..our wives tape em and send them to us. Rock on brother!!! We will watch your movies when they come out. Just don't try and get involved in politics like your buddy Feldman. Stick to acting Dude! We got your back!

Posted by: Evan | Jul 9, 2008 8:58:29 AM

Corey Haim is awesome and I am dying to see him in more movies!

Posted by: stephanie | Jul 9, 2008 12:50:50 PM

Is there a petition anyone can start and send to a producer in Hollywood? I would watch Corey Haim over half the actors on screen right now. I am thoroughly sick of watching Brad Pitt. He may be hot but how many movies can you watch with the SAME actors? I also agree with above message I would watch Haim over Tom Cruise any day! We need to mix it up Hollywood. use Corey Haim..we need to see someone interesting! and Lindsey Lohan isn't cutting it anymore either! Who doesn't like a good story? Corey was famous, lost it all to drugs and ends up on top again. The underdog! Come on hollywood are you people stupid? Good Luck Corey!

Posted by: Jill | Jul 9, 2008 5:07:39 PM

Way to go Corey on keeping your head up and returning to CA! Keep heading in the seemingly desired direction of positive things. Ignore negative people and stay away from them, they are toxic and it seems that if they had so much talent, maybe they wouldn't be so down on others who may be wanting a second chance or simply wanting to live a wholesome life.
You know how the industry works......remember!

Posted by: REELTIME | Jul 10, 2008 6:38:36 PM

Corey Haim you have been exploited by this business. You deserve a second chance to come back and be actor you were before the drugs. It is crazy how Hollywood has drugs all over the place for a 14 year old to use but then the 14 year old is blackballed when he forms an addiction.

Corey, you also need to take a step back from Corey Feldman. I know I am just speaking from what I see on TV but from what the world sees he is not your friend. He may have been in the past but I think you have to let the past go. He has some jealousy for you and until he can resolve that you are best to stay away.

Is there anyway you can let all of us viewers and supporters know you read these blogs?

We love you Cory Haim!
