Corey Feldman calls out Hollywood.

Corey Feldman has questions just like I do. Things like "who are these douchebags?" and "why does everybody have their own unsolicicted opinion that they feel the uncontrollabe urge to spew onto the world because the world could never survive unless they put their two f*cking cents in!?!" eonline.com reports:

Corey Feldman deeply appreciates the outpouring of sentiment from Hollywood in the wake of his "brother and best friend" Corey Haim's untimely death.

But Haim's longtime pal and fellow child star turned struggling twentysomething turned redemption-seeking thirtysomething remains angry, hurt and sad at the same time.

"Where were all these people the last 10 years," Feldman asked, when Haim was living with his ailing mom in her apartment and too broke to own his own car?

Feldman, in an interview with Larry King Live, said Wednesday that society should be held accountable for the shoddy way Hollywood—and the media— treats its young stars once they're no longer marketable.

"Where were all these people to lend a handout, to reach out ot him and say, you're a legend, you're an amazingly talented wonderful person who's never really gone out of his way to hurt anyone, other than himself?" Feldman said pointedly.

"In this entertainment industry, in Hollywood, we build people up as children, we put them on pedestals, and then, when we decide they're not marketable anymore, we walk away from them."

Speaking from personal experience, Feldman said that, while he got himself cleaned up after struggling with drugs, his Two Coreys counterpart had a harder time, and by the time he was ready to face life sober again, "there was no one there to pull him up."

As for Haim's history of substance abuse, which Feldman admitted is a "long and detailed drug history," the Stand by Me star said that, first and foremost, he wants people to stop jumping to conclusions.

"At the end of the day, until the coroner's report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows and nobody's going to know" what caused his friend's death, Feldman said.


I'd say Feldman has some damn good points, WOULDN'T YOU??? How much would you like to bet that he's not going to get any answers?
