fag
that is soooo sad.. go to Mcdonald's or something dude..!!!!
So all I have to do is put a full page ad in Variety and I too can be a washed up nobody???
What a loser!! that just shows that he is super broke!!
second
almost first… he must need drug money
OMG I am so embarrassed for him
Oh thank God! The Two Corey's must be cancelled!!!!!
WTF?
bleh, who cares?
Desperste Loser..!!!
Interesting..
WTF? The other Corey was hotter… you know who i'm talking about.
Shit. Now that is interesting. I wonder if Four Five Clothing could send him a new wardrobe, it would certainly finish him off.
he could be a double for ray liotta.
Save london *ruff*Ruff!
before my time - hee hee!
awww..i feel bad for him.
so was he thinking "we" were waiting for him for all this years to get better Pleazee
how sad!!
wow. thats serious. he must really be desperate.
tenth!
WHAT A LOOSER JUST LIKE THE OTHER CORY
I think he looks GREAT… so much younger and healthier than the last time I saw him. Gone is the puffiness… he looks like cute Corey again!
How sad. People always talk about how kids in show business and even adults need some kind of manual about how to handle celebrity. Haim use to be huge as a teen and fell into the drug culture of celebrities - even celebrities now. We forgive those celebrities today, why can't we forget those celebrities of yesterday? I'd go see Corey again in a heartbeat!
firsst comment ! ! ! ! !
who is this guy?
Corey, there are lots of ways to make a living at acting other than to be in Hollywood. Be an acting coach. Join a theater company. Do something else. And try to be sober and recover. You look like a douche.
At least he recognizes that he F@cked up in the past!
THIS IS SO PATHETIC THAT IT MAKES ME SAD LOL.
fuck off Perez! At least he is trying.

#6 - Amelia says – reply to this
almost first… he must need drug money
WERD!
That's so sad. I loved Corey in the 80's!
Good for him! Good lucky C!
If it works I'll have my add in a matter of days!!!
OK Everyone-its easy to pile on. I like his approach. But then I notice he has cig almost burning his right index and middle fingers off. Seriously dude can you put down the addictive substances a least for one frickin promo shot!
Has he had a stroke? Look at his signature
If he is a jew then somebody will sign him and give him a break. That's all it takes in Hollywood.
He's not looking so good. Gone are the days where he was the cute Corey and Corey Feldman was the funny Corey. Poor guy. He should have saved all the money from those Tiger Beat photo shoots.
He's smart. Nothing more exiciting to bored , pathetic people than a movie star just out of rehab. Bet he'll have work within 2 weeks. It's what you dramatoids want in a person. The more broke, drugged, prescrpiton-addicted…the better
he has lost a lot of weight since I last saw a pic. Good for him.
Yo Perez, why is that more lame than you whoring yourself out for Dolly?
This is sad. Poor guy. No self awareness at all. I can't believe any pr guy would think this is a good idea.
I hear they're casting for a new corey's horror movie…that should be interesting
he is SO zezy! I almost thought it was Leonardo DiCaprio.
.
I feel so sorry for him though — cause you're right Perez — an act of desperation.
Awwwwwww I kinda feel bad for him. I mean, it probably cost him all he had to place that ad, it's kinda sad when you have to practically beg people to hire you.
I always thought those "will work for_______" signs were a joke
LOSER!!!!!
What an absolute LOSER!! He really needs to get some pride and dissapear. He's worthless!!!!
is that a…heart above the "i" in haim?
I love the Coreys. I love License to Drive, The Lost Boys, and Dream a Little Dream..I even love Last Resort..if he's clean, someone give him a a job!!
What ever happened to his show with the other 'whats his name'–where he moved in and annoyed both his friend and his wife??
Hmm, wonder how much he paid to put that ad of himself in the magazine. Looks pretty desperate. If it took him decades to get clean what director in his right mind is going to employ him?? Good luck, Corey. Welcome to the real world.
I heard there was supposed to be a second season of that horrible show "The 2 Coreys". Guess reality tv don't pay that good
Be nice perez it takes a big person to beat drug adiction. Let him try to do his thing.
WTF IS UP WITH THAT SIGNATURE OF HIS? MY 90 YEAR OLD GRANDMA CAN WRITE LESS SHAKY THAN THAT!
he totally needs to be in a quentin tarentino movie. that could be his comeback. I like him-remember Lucas. I think he can really act. I hope someone takes him up and gives him a serious role, not something as a joke. Maybe he could play a druggie?
I don't have the slightest clue who this dude is but this sure is the most desperate thing I've ever seen. He should just go to the nearest employment office.
Kelly Hu did the same thing — made an ad in Variety.
I hope it works for Corey.
Corey, good luck!!
oh dear.
TRAGIC
i watched a little of the first "Gone Country" and Maureen McCormick is just like this bitch i know that i can't stand because she has to grab the attention any chance she gets and she's just fat whore and a slob. not sayin Maureen is a whore but she acts just like the tramp i know.
with a small cigar in his hands…that IS dumb
Perez,
I am a little sad and ashamed for you. I thought you were the one that was always encouraging celebs to go into rehab. Well, maybe you didn't know it but "rehab" doesn't aways work the first time or the second or the fifth. But if someone is a recovering addict and wishes to makes amends, I think as a decent human being (and public) we should give them a shot. Sometimes, it takes a while "to get it right." Why not give hm the encouragement that he needs? What's right about calling someone who is clean and sober after a long (and public) battle with heroin a loser or hasbeen? When someone you love is battling a serious drug or alcohol problem and they finally see the light, it is the great thing. Re-think your hypocrisy of wanting people clean and then bashing them for being clean. You can't have it both ways.
I used to have every inch of my entire bedroom pastered with Corey Haim posters…wow, did I just say that out loud?!!? He needs to land himself in some off-beat movie, like Travolta did in Pulp Fiction. Might work.
Good luck and best wishes to Corey, man.
…and I'm ready to be honest with you, Corey. Nobody cares.
. . . but it also took guts. I hope he gets work out of it and rebuilds his career. He's an interesting actor and he deserves a chance to prove himself.
Re: tom – I don't think that's a cig. It looks like he's holding an ink pen.
This guy's a jew.
Hey! This guy was the shiznit back in the day!
The great thing about Hollywood is that everyone is only one good performance away from a comeback. Do one good worthwhile thing and they love you again. He should consider doing independent movies for a while.
go corey! your awesome & screw those haters it can only make you stronger.
But I don't remember this guy. In fact even now after just reading his name I don't remember it to type it. Cory something. Never heard of him. I swear, people who want to be famous are so weird. I would hate to be famous.
Re: supergirl –
He had a stroke in 2001.
so sad
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM COME BACK
HE IS STILL HOTT
GO COREY!!!!
Wonder how he afforded that ad. Hope he didn't have to take out a loan.
Everyone deserves a second chance. As we have all witnessed, it is not easy being a product of child stardom. I give him the credit for attempting to turn his life around.
I Love You Corey Haim!
I think it's a great idea. At least he's being honest. It's not like every other Hollywood actor wasn't totally desperate to get famous… he's just being upfront about it. All the others try and pretend they were just plucked from obscurity and they were lucky enough to be made into stars. That's utter bollocks as we all know… only the truly ambitious (well-connected/most aggressive/ruthless) will ever make it, he's just getting the 'selling' out in the open that's all. Nothing to be ashamed of!
Awwww….I used to have all his Teen Beat & Tiger Beat pictures on my wall. I had the biggest crush on him. I wish the best for him. I hope he doesn't have to go through life a tortured soul. Good Luck Corey!
Think of all the chances Robert Downey Jr. was given. He was still on drugs and one time was so high he walked into a woman's house and passed out on her bed. But he got chance after chance. Cory should get the same and it did take some guts to do this.
pobre bastardo infeliz!…he just wants to eat.
This looks like one of those dirty ads in the back of some magazines. What kind of "work" is he ready for? Bless his heart!!
I Love You Corey Haim!! Good Luck!!
Re: Eve 7 – true dat!
Actually I watched his "reality show" the 2 Coreys and would watch it again…poor thing…anyone got a job to offer him?
Re: Kelly – i do bitch.
LOSER!!! LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER…
Oh, and did I mention that he was a HUGE loser?
Friggen loser…
I'd never have the courage or confidence to do that. I think it's great that he is trying.
Re: Eve 7 – WELL SAID, EVE!
Go Corey!
Man, they really try to make him look like Matt Damon in this picture, don't they? This is BAD. Who ever thought this was a good idea needs to get there head checked. What actor would post an ad like this? His agent (if he has one) should be fired! I guess they figure with all the actors going in rehab, this would get him sympathy. Really, really lame.
He looks like Leo DiCaprio. I could see him in an offbeat serious role….
At least he had a career, Mario. What the fuck have you ever done? Other than being a grossly overweight, nasty faced fag with a bad haircut?
Made no impression.
Come back? I didn't know he'd ever been here?
Mickey D is hiring in Santa Monica, but he's under-qualified.
ahhh, I like Corey Haim, this took guts … I would like to see him in films again.
Isn't it funny how strung out he looks? Brat.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Why does everyone think it is cool to be so mean to another human being? Stop, think……and try giving people a break!
oh no!!! I was so in love with this guy when i was like 14. Sooooooo sad that he has ended up this way, he really needs to get a proper job, like the rest of us. He could never act anyway.
