Corey Haim’s Unemployability Makes Compelling Reality TV

We’re reluctant to even share with you this sad clip from The Two Coreys, A&E’s attempt at catching up with conjoined Tiger Beat fantasy-duo Haim and Feldman since their spectacular career flameouts of the late 80s. In it, Feldman is forced to deliver the difficult news that the sequel to the movie that originally introduced the lifelong friends – The Lost Boys 2: Return to Lost Boys Island: An Interactive Sing n’ Say DVD Adventure – has been rushed into production. But while Corey F. has been approached by producers for a cameo, Corey H. had not – a fact that hits the beret-sporting former teen idol hard, as he comes to realise that his limited acting gifts will never again be required (outside of highly canned reality shows that rely on the enduring entertainment value of observing wash-ups in their native habitat).
