Corey Haim Collapsed, Prescriptions Found



Corey Haim collapsed in the bedroom of his mother's apartment and four prescription bottles were found nearby ... law enforcement sources say.

We've learned Corey had been sick the last couple of days with flu-like symptoms. The medications recovered, however, were not related to his illness, sources say.

We're told no illicit drugs were found in the apartment.

Sources say Haim got out of bed just before 1 AM and collapsed in front of his mother. She called 911 at 12:53 AM and Corey was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:15 AM, at the age of 38.

Corey's mom told authorities he had been battling prescription drug addiction for years.

Authorities believe -- though are not certain -- Corey died of an accidental drug overdose.

LAPD has wrapped up their preliminary investigation and it's now in the coroner's hands.

Two of my favorite movies is LOST BOYS and LICENSE TO DRIVE....two of which he starred in. brings back so many memories....RIP CORY HAIMS.

Alice in Wonderland....PLEASE READ THE BOOK xoxo


I'm not sure how many of you have seen Tim Burton's latest masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland, but I advise you PLEASE READ THE BOOK FIRST!!!
As you know, I am a book nerd. So, naturally, I read "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass", Lewis Carroll.
It made the experience of watching Tim Burton's film, that much more enjoyable!!
The movie pretty much followed the book, although the book is always more detailed, of course. I happened to like how they upped the age in the character of Alice., it made the storyline flow a little better for all of us Old skool Alice in Wonderland fans. Another one of my favorite scenes was Alice walking over the moat full of "cut off heads", as per request of the Queen of hearts. I thought Anne Hathaway did a fabulous job as the white queen, and Johnny Deep...I mean COME ON!! He is Johnny Deep; he can make any movie better!!
The makeup was PHENOMENAL! It was def. my favorite part of the whole movie just seeing the array of colorful costumes and makeup looks. I have to give this movie two thumbs up, BUT Please, read the book before you watch it!! If you have already watched, read the book and then watch it again!! lol
