Is your life a mess? Let the Coreys help
They haunt our dreams. We want to remember them for "Lost Boys," "Goonies" and "Lucas." But flicks like "Dream a Little Dream" and "License to Drive" turn a lovely stroll down Memory Lane into a car-jacking down Debacle Drive.
Love them or loathe them, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman are back in the headlines. MSN TV's website recently added a new "Ask the Coreys" feature where fans can ask the pair literally anything -- for relationship tips, acting advice, a personal loan to cover your Internet porn addiction ... you name it. (Click here to visit the website.)
The two '80s icons are set to star in their own faux/reality show -- "The Two Coreys" -- on A&E starting July 15. Word has it that the show is based on "fictional" versions of both Coteys -- one married with a kid (Feldman) and the other (Haim) a bachelor bent on shaking up his friend's serene life.
So what questions might fans ask on "Ask the Coreys?" So many questions come to mind. Here are a few to start with:
- "Mr. Haim, do you think it's creepy that you had a beefcake poster of Rob Lowe on your bedroom wall in 'The Lost Boys?' "
- "Was 'Dream a Little Dream 2' really necessary?"
- "Who scored more on the set of 'Lucas?' You or Charlie Sheen?"
- "Mr. Feldman -- Meatballs 4?"

Someone should just submit the question, "What were you thinking?", and then wait to see what they'll confess to.

LOL--my friends and I laugh about that Rob Lowe poster in Lost Boys! And don't forget Haim wore a "Born to Shop" T-shirt in that movie, too! Yikes!

But he did also have a "Reform School Girls" poster, didn't he? I'm trying to decide what kind of an effect that has on his Manly Rating.

I think he gets a "D" for his Manly Rating.
Born to Shop and Rob Lowe are almost, but not quite, canceled out by Reform School Girls. Plus he didn't like "horror comics," proving even more that he was a big wuss! :-)

I wonder if these guys are just a front for the wisest of all the Coreys - Hart. They probaby pass along the questions that are too hard for them to answer and the Corey man behind the curtain spouts advice.
