Fans woke up Wednesday morning with the sad news that 1980s teen icon Corey Haim died during the night. Unfortunately, this headline is not uncommon…nor is the sad story that sums up the once-promising actor’s young life. Perhaps best known as Corey Feldman’s frequent co-star, Corey Haim was once one of the most popular stars in the country. During his heyday of The Lost Boys, License to Drive and Lucas, Haim captivated hearts - and casting directors - with his trademark smirk and level gaze.

Eva Mendes Vacations in Rehab
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies
Who says the writers’ strike doesn’t have its benefits? It’s allowing celebrities more time to check into rehab!
Eva Mendes, the star of the abysmally-awful Ghost Rider, has decided to make use of her time off work to put some things in order. (Un)fortunately for her, no one has noticed her absence— she’s been seeking ‘substance abuse’ treatment for several weeks!
Her rep confirmed the news to TMZ:
“Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva’s privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details.”
Eva, 33, is currently holed up at the Cirque Lodge in Utah. (Two points to those who immediately remembered Lindsay Lohan’s stay in that same facility.) The actress can next be seen this fall in the remake of The Women.
