Sigh. Where to begin?
I saw Lost Boys and really enjoyed it. Kiefer Sutherland was a favorite of mine and the setting was great. But later when visiting Santa Cruz and its boardwalk with a young Josh I was struck by the real life weirdness of the place. It was the only time I ever saw Josh get into a fist fight. I think it may be the only time it happened. We were in an arcade. Josh had placed a quarter on the console of a video game while another boy was playing. I understand that was arcade etiquette in those days. When the first boy's game was over, Josh inserted his quarter but immediately another young kid shoved Josh aside and started playing on his quarter. Wham! POP! A scuffle ensued. It was like a cartoon with these two little boys punching away for a millisecond or two. (I was so proud!)
The Two Coreys. I had met Corey Feldman about 8 years ago and thought he was a mess. Nice boy but so screwed up. Later I heard about the TV show but never saw it. Corey Haim? Never gave him a thought either way. I'd have been hard pressed to come up with any of his credits outside of Lost Boys.
But Tiffany. Ah, to know Tiffany is to love her. It is not her cinematic or photographic look so much as it is the real deal. There is so much that is special about Tiffany. She's a firecracker personality. Funny as all get out! Sharp as a tack. A brilliant promoter. A tireless worker. A fine and talented actress who deserves a crossover hit though I'm not sure she wants that. And she LOVES her fans. She isn't faking it as she travels from town to town meeting people, taking pictures with them and signing autographs. I wonder if there's any way to learn how many myspace avatars are photos of guys with Tiffany! She is so genuinely down to earth, unaffected and upbeat that she lights up any room with her out-and-out gregariousness. Her eyes are an amazing amber gold. Her skin is beautiful. She is just sooo pretty in person. The smile! Sweet. Lovely. I adore her and think she has a big future.
But... Tiffany and Corey Haim together? Say it isn't so. When I saw that news while perusing Hollywood Defamer the other day, I thought it was a Halloween stunt. A joke. At this stage I'm only thinking "joke" because it was so sudden. People don't plan weddings that fast. I know CH's reputation but don't know much else about him. Still, I could not believe it. I waited for Tiffany to laughingly invalidate the rumor.
Yesterday I check out the Two Coreys website and watch and watch and watch. Like Amanda says, it was painful to watch but I did. I wanted to see what poor Tiffany was getting into if this was true. How surprised was I to see Corey Feldman seeming like a well-balanced, clear-eyed, happily married guy! Is that really his house or was that provided by the reality show? And that shrink! Bet she helps out a lot of mentally stressed patients. EEK!
Anyway, as the one article stated, "A May 5, 2009 wedding date gives Tiffany plenty of time to come to her senses" and I have every confidence she will. She is no Nancy Spungen.
At the end of the day I hope for the best for the injured Corey Haim but I'm afraid the cumulative effect of so many bad choices may be too much to overcome regardless of how much energy he usurps from those closest to him. He does emit that "rescue me" vibe but I'm afraid he may end up as a real life Lost Boy.
