The death of actor Corey Haim elicited a strong reaction from Hollywood Tweeters on Wednesday. After all, many working actors in their 30s either grew up watching the childhood star’s arsenal of ’80s teen flicks, like The Lost Boys, License to Drive, and Lucas — or they knew the man personally. Of course, some celebs took a harsher approach in expressing their sadness over Haim’s passing of a suspected prescription drug overdose.

One star that would have been better off keeping her trap shut is former America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry…..

Curry Tweeted at length about the alleged circumstances surrounding the Corey’s death this morning. Her comments really rubbed me the wrong way, but some of you may have a different take:

-”Corey Haim died.That is what happens when u cant grow the fuck up&kick the habit.sadly,most who start dont stop.A waste of beautiful life….”

-”it is a disease that addicts go into KNOWINGLY, as a former addict, I find it hard to feel sorry for those making bad choices…”

This is worse than the time she went on a tirade about Black History Month being racist against Whites.

Why can’t the pretty dumbs ones just keep quiet and quit fucking things up for the rest of us? You’re attractiveness goes down a notch each time you speak, Toots. And right now Ms. Curry is a solid 5. I understand the point she was trying to convey, but there’s a time for everything. Corey had friends and a cancer-stricken mother who loved him dearly, surely everyone can give them a few days to grieve quietly before getting comfortable on a Twitter high horse. Perhaps she didn’t have to be so blunt so soon? Just a thought….

Tomfoolery at its finest: Former model Jamie Jungers (One of the blonde skanks photographed above….) was crowned “The True Mistress” of Tiger Woods during professional crap talker Howard Stern’s Tiger Mistress Beauty Pageant on Wednesday morning.

The Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant was composed of two parts. The ladies took part in a swimsuit competition, with two-piece bikinis as the expected attire. Phase One was followed by an interviewed segment. Jungers wowed the Stern audience by dishing the deets on everything from the size of Tiger’s golf balls (Hint, Hint….) to what the supposed sex addict enjoys between the sheets. Jamie walked away with a cool $75,000 cash prize, provided by AshleyMadison.com, the website dating service that touts itself as “the place for Married Dating.”

The runner-up and winner of a $15,000 prize was ex-VH1 reality star Jaimee Grubbs — the brunette trollop who was on the receiving end of the golfer’s now infamous “It’s me, Tiger….” Voicemail.

On Bravo gave a series greenlight to a Beverly Hills edition of its wildly-popular Real Housewives franchise.

The Beverly Hills Housewives will join existing series in Orange County, California, New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey, and a rumored edition headed to Washington, DC. Brenda Harvey-Richie, mother of socialite Nicole Richie, and Paris and Nicky Hilton aunts, Kim and Kyle Richards, have been linked to the series. The network is also adding a fifth night of original programming to join its Monday-to-Thursday lineup — although they haven’t announced which day that will be.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is expected to premiere next year.

This isn’t the first time Her Madgesty has taken a stab at designing duds; in 2007, Madonna created a seasonal line for Swedish retailer H&M.

The news of Corey Haim’s death shocked fans of the ’80s child star, as well as his celebrity friends who took to Twitter on Wednesday to express their condolences for the actor. One star left particularly grief-stricken by Haim’s passing is his best friend and frequent co-star, Corey Feldman, who woke up this morning to reports that his pal had died of a suspected overdose.

Feldman — already struggling through a bitter divorce with wife Susie Sprague — remembered Corey Haim in a heartfelt statement issued Wednesday afternoon:

“I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren’t even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face. I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school. This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time. I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived.”

Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are about to get some very tanned neighbors: The second season of Jersey Shore is South Beach-bound.

On Wednesday, The Miami Herald reported what we’ve been hearing for weeks; the controversial cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore will take over The Sunshine State’s trendy South Beach community for its second season, premiering this summer.

Despite some protests from locals, Seaside Heights’ best GTLers are coming anyway! (Sticks Out Tongue!)

The new season of Jersey Shore will begin production in the next two weeks.

Get ready for Anna Nicole: The Opera. Britain’s renowned Royal Opera will stage the world premiere the Anna Nicole Smith Opera, a work about the life of former Playboy model, actress and tabloid darling Anna Nicole Smith, next Feb. 17.

The production was co-written by British playwright Richard Thomas, one of the creators of Jerry Springer: The Opera . The Royal Opera says Covent Garden Music Director Antonio Pappano will conduct the production and Richard Jones will direct.

Take that Brad & Angie! Gerry & Jen steam up the pages of the April issue of W Magazine. The stars will share the silver screen in the new comedy The Bounty Hunter, opening March 19. Do you think they are a couple or just cozy co-stars?

The spread was shot at a ranch outside Los Angeles by Steven Klein, who snapped Brad and Angelina’s infamous family-friendly pictorial for the magazine in 2005. Jennifer’s mane man, Chris McMillan, explains why he left her infamous tresses dirty for the shoot.

“It just created a nice chunky texture. The key to Jennifer’s hair is no matter what you do with it — straight, frizzy, dirty — it looks like it actually grows out of her head. She’s someone for whom her hair doesn’t wear her, she wears it.”

Generation Xers and Hollywood stars are mourning the death of Corey Haim. The ’80s teen idols died after collapsing in his suburban Los Angeles apartment early Wednesday.

An autopsy will determine the cause of death, but police and coroner’s officials tell Entertainment Tonight that Haim was violently ill with flu-like symptoms and taking prescription medications before his death.

“He could have succumbed to whatever (illness) he had or it could have been drugs. Who knows?” Los Angeles Police sergeant William Mann said. “He has had a drug problem in the past.”

Corey’s mom, Judy Haim, told RadarOnline.com in an interview this morning that she is battling cancer and “devastated” by the loss of her 38-year-old son: “I am a cancer victim and Corey was helping me at home. He was a good boy. I’m devastated by his death.”

Haim, 38, was made famous in a string of 1980s films including The Lost Boys, with Corey Feldman. Haim struggled with drug addiction for some time.

Lindsay Lohan — Or should we say “Milkaholic?” — has confirmed that she’s parted ways with Emanuel Ungaro. After one widey-panned collection of pasties, butt-bearing ensembles, and “Ho Stroll” club numbers as Artistic Advisor of Ungaro, Lindsay is no longer designing threads for the French fashion house.

Earlier this week, the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah revealed Lindsay was “not involved” with the latest collection.

When asked why she wasn’t at Ungaro’s Paris Fashion Week show this week, Lindsay told Women’s Wear Daily: “Because I don’t work for them anymore. There’s legal things going on; I can’t really discuss it.”

Who knows if we’ll ever see it come to fruition, but Jane Fonda, the original intergalactic nympho, wants Blue Crush bombshell Kate Bosworth to star as screen vamp Barbarella in a proposed update of the ’60s flick.

TwiHards rejoice, shirtless Taylor Lautner Alert: The first teaser trailer for the eagerly-awaited third film in the Twilight series, Eclipse, just premiered — we will the full 90-second trailer tomorrow @ 9 AM!

The cast of Mad Men is getting “The Barbie Treatment.”

Mattel has purchased the licensing rights to design a collection of Barbie & Ken dolls patterned after series protagonist Don Draper and three characters from the critically-acclaimed cable series. The featured dolls –- Draper, his wife, Betty, and colleagues Roger Sterling and Joan Holloway – will be priced at $74.95.

Mad Men Barbies are set to go on sale this summer — just in time for the fourth season of the AMC series.

“The dolls, we feel, do a great job of embodying the series…..” Mattel’s Senior Vice-President, Stephanie Cota, told The New York Times Wednesday.

You knew it was only a matter of time before Mama Dina weighed in on Lindsay’s latest cry for attention. Lohan’s enabler mother Dina has backed her daughter’s multimillion dollar legal battle over an advertisement which allegedly used the actress’ name and poked fun at her well-documented history as an unstable druggie — branding the commercial “horrible” and “mean.”

Cry us a river…..

Lohan filed a $100 million — Yep, you read that right: she wants 100 million smacks…..– against Wall Street firm E-Trade in Nassau County Supreme Court on Monday, claiming a “Milkaholic” baby used in one of its television ads was based on her.

The commercial — which aired during the Super Bowl and the Olympics — shows a baby boy playing the stock
market and apologizing to his girlfriend for not calling her the night before. The baby girl then gets suspicious about a rival baby, referring to her as “that Milkaholic Lindsay.”

Dina told The New York Post Tuesday that the 23-year-old former child star called her after the Super Bowl “extremely upset.”

“She said, ‘Mommy, help me. This is wrong. How can they do this?’”

Dina is adamant the commercial was aimed at her troubled daughter – insisting the name Lindsay has as much recognition as other single-word monikers, like Cher, Madonna, or Oprah.

“They’re little babies doing this, mocking another child who’s just trying to survive Hollywood, basically. I’m just basically glad I took a stand. I’m not going to let them do this to us anymore. Everyone knows Lindsay, like Cher or Madonna.”

It’s official: They’re both getting high! Do The Lohans not know how many twentysomethings named “Lindsay” there are walking around the Planet? It was only like one of the most popular baby girl names of the ’80s! Right up there with “Jessica” and “Ashley.”

Lindsay’s New York lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, alleges E-Trade used Lohan’s “name and characterization” without paying her or asking for her approval. E-Trade, on the other hand, claims they chose the name Lindsay at random. The star’s legal team is seeking $50 million in exemplary damages, as well as $50 million in compensation and an injunction to stop future airings.

Yucky — but for a good cause: On Wednesday, The Early Show’s Harry Smith became the first news anchor to undergo a colonoscopy on network TV.

CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric was with Smith as Dr. Mark Pochapin performed the colonoscopy at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Harry and Katie are recognizing National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, which urges early detection as the most vital tool in the fight against the deadly disease. The cause is one close to Katie’s heart; she lost her husband Jay Monahan to colorectal cancer in 1998.

In March 2000, Couric launched the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance.

Another tragic loss for Hollywood: Former ’80s teen heartthrob Corey Haim (December 23, 1971 – March 10, 2010) has died. Police in Los Angeles found the actor unresponsive in his Oakwood, Los Angeles apartment at approximately 3:30 AM Wednesday morning, FOX News L.A. reports. His mother was with him when police arrived.

Haim, who shot to fame in the ’80s with roles in teen hits like The Lost Boys and License To Drive, had a long history of substance abuse issues and is believed to have succumbed to an accidental drug overdose.

“It was an apparent overdose,” says Sgt. Frank Albarren of the Los Angeles Police Department’s North Hollywood Station. “Unknown what type of medication.”

Haim was pronounced dead just before 4 AM at Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank. He was 38.

His first role was in the 1984 hit Firstborn, in which he played a young child caught up in a family war. He then appeared in the 1985 TV movie A Time to Live. Haim often starred alongside best friend Corey Feldman, and the duo became known as “The Two Coreys.” Corey H. appeared in many movies between 1987 and 1990; such as Lucas: Murphy’s Romance, The Lost Boys, Dream a Little Dream, and more. Most recently, Corey Haim starred alongside Carey Feldman in the reality show The Two Coreys, which aired from 2007 to 2008 on A&E.

Keri Russell has inked a deal to return to TV. The former Felicity star has signed on to play Will Arnett’s love interest in the new Fox pilot Wilde Kingdom. Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz is directing the pilot, which he co-wrote with Arnett and Development writer-producer Jim Vallely. After her scene-stealing turn on the WB’s hit ended in 2002, Russell showed off her comedic chops on two episodes of Scrubs and appeared in the recent box office drama Extraordinary Measures.

Casting News: Josh Brolin of W fame, Borat’s Sacha Baron Cohen, and Flight of the Conchords star Jermaine Clement have been tipped for lead roles in the upcoming third film in the Men In Black franchise.

Will Smith is expected to reprise his role as Agent J, while Josh Brolin has been named as a potential replacement for Tommy Lee Jones’s K in the alien-fighting action-comedy flick. Comedy stars Cohen and Clement are both being considered to play a new “Galaxy Defender” named Yaz, BloodyDisgusting.com reported on Wednesday.

The Men In Black franchise centers on a covert government agency which polices aliens residing on Earth. The 1996 original and a 2002 sequel grossed more than a combined $1 billion at the international box office.

Has America’s Sweetheart Taylor Swift been secretly dating Glee star Cory Monteith? Tabloid tattles say the country singer — previously romantically-linked to Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas, rock star John Mayer, and Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner — is hooking up with the Canadian singer/actor best known for his role as Finn Hudson on the popular FOX musical comedy, but is determined to keep the romance hidden from her mom Andrea.

“Taylor is actually pretending not to be interested in Cory so her mother doesn’t scare him off! The way her mom Andrea cuts through her potential boyfriends, Taylor’s figured out she better not have any serious mother-daughter conversations about her love life or the relationship will be doomed from the get-go.”
