When I read Corey Feldman's explanation of why he wasn't going to go to the funeral of his "brother," I took him at his word. "I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey's funeral, however, due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey's funeral on Tuesday a small private affair."
So, that seems fair enough and a good excuse to not go. Then I read about the funeral today and there were 200 people who were invited including Corey Feldman's second cousin, but no Corey. To me this seems kind of odd. I think maybe that Corey Haim's mom might have something against Corey Feldman. Perhaps she thinks that Corey F stabbed Corey H in the back a few times over the past couple of years. 200 people is not a small private affair. That is a lot of people. I'm guessing that Corey Feldman wasn't invited and I know why. It is that damn strand of hair. I wouldn't invite him either.
(1) Corey H's mom probably does have a bone to pick with Corey F. In their reality show, Corey F did allude to start drugs to drown out pain of being sexually abused by someone Corey H introduced him to. This certain someone has certain proclivities. (Maybe MJ - but I dont want to speak ill of the dead).
ReplyDelete(2) Corey H's mom prolly knows that Corey F is a famewhore and would take the attention away from Corey H and make it all about him Corey F. Look at how quickly Corey F was on Larry King to talk about Corey H.
I just cant with that fucking strand of hair.. Ugg.
ReplyDeleteHaim's Mom probably knows that Feldman would just take over and make it all about him. Like always. He's an arrogant prick.
ReplyDeleteSomeone cut off that strand!
I agree with BorgQueen, they started using drugs together and I'm sure there are a lot of weird stories from those two back in the 80's. It must be hard for the woman to see Corey F.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the strand of hair would have done it for me. But more than that, I'm sure she was probably ticked that Corey F took it upon himself to do the media interviews (probably for $$$) immediately after Corey H's death instead of supporting the person who he said was like his mom in a quiet & respectful manner.
ReplyDeleteTo hell with the strand, shave his whole damn head. If he can't take care of his hair, he doesn't deserve any. As for the funeral, he probably wanted to bring a film crew.
ReplyDeleteyou can't blame addiction on anyone but yourself in the end. that's like blaming a bartender.
ReplyDeletei read Corey declined to go to avoid a media circus and let the family have some peace.
personally Corey H's mom has always been and always will be a fucking loony. i feel bad she lost her son,but doesn't change facts.
and also...if you watch Two Corey's, you clearly see Haim play the victim card and manipulate Feldman over and over again with that same song about the abuser. it's a sad fucking story all around,but inside i bet Feldman feels a sense of relief and guilt for feeling relieved. been there. having an addict living with you or in the family is really hard for everyone.
ReplyDeletehopefully Haim is at peace now.
sssoooo, i know that is his 'serious face', but he kind of just looks like a constipated kermit the frog...with a tacky strand of hair hanging in his face
ReplyDeleteThat's just BS about "their strong religious beliefs" as they are both the same faith "and need for privacy."
ReplyDeleteI live in Toronto, and the local stations (as well as all the media trucks) were parked outside the funeral home, with the reporters giving blow-by-blow reports, including filming all the cars heading to the cemetery.
I heard Maria Menounous say this morning on the Today Show that Corey's mother invited her to the funeral, as well as the guy from the memorabilia company who was donating funds for the cost of the funeral, so maybe there is more to this than we really know.
And how sad is that that the family had to solicit funds from the public to pay for the funeral? Corey's father lives here in Toronto and the family couldn't pay to bury one of their own? Something is fishy about this.
@surfer
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that plea for donations on CP24 last night I was shocked. Especially cause that plea proceeded the one for OPP officer Vu Pham. That just about killed me.
Anyway, it doesn't matter cause the Steeles Jewish funeral home is paying for (some) of it. I bet a few JCC's in the area chipped in.
Miller should have given a few dollars of the 100 million he "found" the other day.
/eye roll.
@ Sue Ellen.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. When I read online the other day that Corey's mother said the city was going to foot the bill, I almost choked. Then yesterday, the city released a statement saying that they usually don't comment on these things, but they absolutely were not paying for this funeral.
And you're right about Miller.
I paid for my mother's funeral and burial, and I can tell you it was a lot less than $20,000. I really hate to sound cynical, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of that money was being pocketed. I guess it really bothers me because I believe certain things should be kept private, and the fact that the family went public with their money woes, well, I just find disturbing on so many levels.
As far as the cost of the funeral--does this include the headstone & the grave? A headstone runs about $5000, & a casket also runs in the thousands, depending which one is chosen. It is not out of the question that the funeral could have cost over $20,000.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Corey Feldman, I think he should have been there, regardless, but maybe he plans on paying his respects to the family privately.
And what is the story with selling Corey's possessions on Ebay? I heard that story 2 days after his death. If he was so broke, how did he pay the rent?
ReplyDeletehis hair is annoying! one good reason not to invite him!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Borg Queen. I think CH's mother could quite easily been put off by her son's "best friend" and "brother" immediately going on Larry King Live and making it all about himself. I'm sure she just wants to put her son to rest without all the Feldman drama/famewhoring that he would bring.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe, if the Haims were in such financial straits, there could be bad blood if Feldman didn't offer any money to help with funeral expenses. I'm not saying Feldman is rolling in money, but I'd think he'd have a little put by he could have given even if just as a show of good faith. Totally speculating here.
there's obviously more to the story than he's said. now he also says haim's mom wanted to 'minimize the media attention' and that's why he didn't go.
ReplyDeleteLOLZ. like his presence would cause some pap frenzy.
Hey, man...you've got something--here, let me *YANK*...ah, there. Much better.
ReplyDeleteFeldman is a famewhore, undisputed...however Haim's mom is currently going through treatment for cancer, isn't she? Chances are, what little money they did have is going to pay for that. Agree, however, that T.O. should NOT foot the bill, since he wasn't even a resident. Dead resident doesn't count.
OMG I just read Corey's "open letter" to Haim, which sounded to me like a big, fat excuse for why he didn't attend the funeral. Way to make it about you, dude.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me sad because I truly believe the Coreys loved each other. You don't know and work and live with someone for that long and not feel sad.
To the poster who asked about rent - I read in another article that his father sent him $500 for rent last month. Very sad.
(I've been offline since Monday on vacation so I'm late weighing in on this)
ReplyDeleteCould it be that Corey Feldman has a felony on his record? That would prevent him from getting a visa, wouldn't it? Also, if he doesn't have a passport, it might have been too late to get one to go to Toronto.
Just sayin'....
Also would like to say that everyone mourns differently. Some people don't need the spectacle of a funeral to mourn someone they love. And until it happens, most people don't know how they will react (especially in the case of a sudden death).
