The Coreys Reunite

In a last ditch effort to restart their careers, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman have plans to star in their own tv show. It's described as an improv comedy that center on fictional versions of themselves, a la "Curb Your Enthusiasm." And you'll never guess what genius name they came up with for the title of their shows. Yup, You guessed it. "The Coreys."

Variety reports:
"The Coreys picks up with Feldman living the comfortable suburban life with his wife Suzie and son, until circumstances bring his old pal Haim back into the picture. Episodes would follow Haim -- single and the total opposite of Feldman -- as he shakes life up for the Feldmans. "

Back in the day, every girl (and guy?) had their favorite Corey. Mine was Haim. Fiona's was Feldman. I never in a million years thought I would ever say this and have it be a true statement, but Corey F. actually looks better than his long lost BFF. Poor Corey H. looks bloated, washed up and worse for the wear. He looks like he could be Brit Spears brother from the trailer park. Yikes. And yet Feldman looks healthy, tan and dare I say...normal?

Don't get me wrong. I love the Coreys in "Lost Boys," "License to Drive" and "Dream a Little Dream." But it's been eons since they last graced the cover of Tiger Beat so I have a feeling that their time in the spotlight is over.

Wow, Tiger Beat brings back some memories. I got all my wall posters from there...the centerfolds of Michael J. Fox (Erik-you must share!) Christian Slater and Kirk Cameron. I remember one time I was in Big Bear with my family and I was about 14. We had gone into town to get some ice cream, and guess who was there, getting a double scoop of mint chip? Kirk Cameron! I was beside myself. I was freaking out and totally star struck. My Dad said "Let's go get his autograph" and I screamed "NO!!" in total embarrassment. So we started walking away and I thought "Gina, what are you doing? Go get his autograph!" So I told my Dad that I had changed my mind. We started approaching him but I just couldn't handle the curly hair, dimples and tutleneck. I grabbed my Dad's hand and pulled him away as fast as I could. This was one of my first brushes with a celebrity and the beginning of my obsession with celebrities. (My first brush was when I was 9 or 10 and lived in London and met the band A-Ha at a restaurant. It was Awesome!)

Anyway, so keep your eyes peeled for "The Coreys." This is going to be a train wreck, right? The show hasn't got picked up by a network yet, so who knows where it will land. But somehow I don't think it will be part of NBC's must see tv. I think it will be awkward and sad and almost annoying to watch this show. But am I going to Tivo it? You bet your sweet ass!
