Actor Corey Haim’s family members have started an online fund so the dead star can have a proper funeral in his native Toronto, Canada.

The Lost Boys star, who died of a suspected drug overdose in Los Angeles on Wednesday, will be flown home and buried in Toronto next week – if his family can afford the costs of shipping and the funeral itself.

And they’re asking fans to help.

In a post on Haim’s website, a family representative writes,

“Due to the unexpected expenses of transporting his body to Canada for final resting, a fund has been set up to help.”

Details of where to send the cash or how to pay online have been listed.

Haim’s mother Judy, who came across the troubled star’s body and called the emergency services, is listed as the recipient of the cash.

Meanwhile, longtime pal and fellow former child star Scott Schwartz has been given the task of selling off Haim’s personal belongings on auction website eBay.com to help pay for the funeral costs.

He says,

“There’s shirts and jackets, hoodies, his favourite pair of Nikes… and the jacket he wore in (his last film) American Sunset.”

In a TV interview earlier this week , Haim’s best friend Corey Feldman explained the actor was so broke at the time of his death he “didn’t even have a car.”

This is just sad. What else can be said?

A representative for Katie Holmes has dismissed reports the actress is expecting her second child with husband Tom Cruise.

Recent tabloid reports suggested the Dawson’s Creek star was expecting a little brother or sister for the couple’s three-year-old daughter, Suri.

Holmes was seen visiting a doctor’s office, and photos of her surfaced with a bloated stomach wearing what appeared to be maternity clothes.

However her spokesperson insists the 31 year old isn’t expecting another baby, telling People.com: “Katie is not pregnant.”

Holmes and Cruise married in 2006.

The success of “American Idol” hasn’t just been about the singing talent.

As much as viewers tuned in to rally behind their favorite performer, they also came for the chemistry between the judges. That helped elevate the show beyond just a search for America’s next music star.

Never has the importance of that dynamic been more evident than in Season Nine, which has plenty of fans sharing a common complaint: “We miss Paula.”

“I think the chemistry they had before with the judges is really affecting the show this season,”

said Lindsay Powers, staff editor with US Weekly and an “Idol” fan.

“What Paula brought to the show was not only someone with a musical background, but also very endearing, compassionate, goofy and funny. Just like people tuned in to see what mean thing Simon would say, they would also tune in to see the whacky thing that Paula was going to say each week.”

And Abdul gave them plenty of whacky to deal with –from sometimes appearing to be in a fog to outright losing track of what was happening. In one case, she complimented a contestant on his second song when he had only sung once.

Such shenanigans probably wouldn’t have been as embraced by fans as they were with a giggle and “Oh Paula” except that the original cast of judges for “American Idol” was so well-balanced.

“The show has lost its ‘zest,’ ”

wrote a commenter named Mary.

“I feel Simon has lost complete interest, and Kara is trying so hard to take Paula’s place with Simon, rubbing his arm and putting her head on his shoulder — it is horrible this year.”

“Idol” has always been a ratings monster, much to the chagrin of its competition. Bill Gorman of TV by the Numbers recently wrote “Idol haters keeping track at home can note the show’s down just 5% in adults 18-49 this season so far.”

Matthew Jaffe, a writer at TV.com, recently tweeted a link to his story featuring the four reasons Paula is missed, which were: her chemistry with Simon and Randy, her unpredictability, her dancing (she was often up out of her seat during performances) and her beautiful mind.

Abdul has has been fairly quiet about any new projects, though she is set to reprise her role as a judge for the second season of the Lifetime series “Drop Dead Diva.”

And while rumors of possible talk shows and other appearances swirl, there is at least one well-known fan who is also feeling the lack of Abdul and who has the power to get her back on the small screen.

“I miss Paula,” Simon Cowell admitted to Jay Leno during a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show.”

“I talk to Paula all the time. She was great fun, and [Idol] is a different show without her. Something will happen with me and her at some point.”

Well we all know what that is. X-Factor. Paula has the gig, that’s why she’s sitting tight right now doing nothing. Can’t wait!

“The Runaways” finally hit Hollywood on Thursday night, with stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning among those celebrating the rock flick’s West Coast premiere.

At the ArcLight Cinemas’ famous Cinerama Dome, Stewart and Fanning were joined by Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, whom the starlets portrayed for director Floria Sigismondi.

Taylor Lautner surfaced, getting mobbed with questions about “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on the red carpet before dipping into the screening.

CRAP!!! Can’t find anyone that wrote anything good about it.

One critic writes:

The moronic “She’s Out of My League” would like to think of itself as an extension of its lead character — gangly, a bit uncouth, but ultimately sweet. Unfortunately, it’s more like the best friend in a movie like this — irritating, unfunny and something that hangs around longer than it should.

Don’t know how any movie with Alice Eve can be bad. I could sit there for two hours and just look at her..

After a smashing return, Jay Leno appears headed to a battle with David Letterman for late-night television supremacy.

The Nielsen Co. says Leno averaged 5.6 million viewers last week, his first back at NBC’s “The Tonight Show” following the ill-fated prime time experiment. Letterman had 3.7 million at CBS. Leno took advantage of curiosity over his return and a strong lineup of guests, including Olympic stars and Sarah Palin. It was a half-million more than he averaged his last season at “Tonight.”

It’s been much closer the second week. Through four nights, Leno is averaging 4.3 million viewers and Letterman has 4 million.

Considering Leno usually beat Letterman by a million and a half during their last season of competition, that’s a sign of erosion for NBC’s late-night franchise. Letterman consistently beat Conan O’Brien after O’Brien took over last year.

Jay’s lucky he don’t have a shitty show like the Jay Leno Show as a lead in like Conan O’Brien did. I’m betting had Leno left as planned and not fucked with the 10 o’clock hour Conan would have been fine. Leno has to be one of the dirtiest people in show business. Watch your back if you have business with this TOOL!

It looks like Katherine Heiglis about to be discharged from “Grey’s Anatomy.”

The 31-year-old actress, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of Dr. Izzie Stevens on ABC’s trauma room drama, was supposed to return to the set on March 1 following three months of maternity leave.

But the “Knocked Up” star was a no-show.

“She was not there,” an insider says.

Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello confirms that series creator Shonda Rhimes is agreeing to release Heigl from her contract. Now ABC Studios and the actress’s reps are left to hammer out a final exit agreement. He also dishes that as of Thursday, Heigl is without a publicist.

Although Heigl’s eternally cheerful Izzie was a fan favorite when the series first began six years ago, the star’s off-camera antics have continued to overshadow her character.

So it’s no surprise that there’s no love lost between Heigl and “Grey’s.” A source says that talks between the actress and ABC have been going on for months, and last week both sides agreed that the best solution would be to part ways now instead of finishing out the season.

Therefore fans can probably safely assume that Heigl will not be returning to the set, and that Izzie’s final episode has already aired.
