Sad news from the celebrity world this morning.  Actor Corey Haim (The Lost Boys) has been found dead of an apparent drug overdose in LA.  TMZ has reported this news, so it must be true!  Sadly, he’ll probably be remembered for his checkered past with battling drug addiction, but what you may not know is that in the 90s he hosted an annual Toys for Tots event at his house.  In my other life when I used to collect celebrity autographs, we used to go every year, as he’d bring together stars as diverse as the cast of “Home Improvement” to Sheena Easton for a good cause.  One year, I was in need of a bathroom and Corey Haim allowed me to go inside his house and take care of business.  I recall that he had a pretty impressive art collection.  Sad, sad, sad.  RIP Corey Haim.
