LOS ANGELES – Corey Haim, a 1980s teen heartthrob for his roles in “Lucas” and “The Lost Boys” whose career was blighted by drug abuse, has died. He was 38.

Haim died at 2:15 a.m. Wednesday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Los Angeles County coroner’s Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said.

An autopsy will determine the cause of death and there were no other details, she said. Police Sgt. Michael Kammert said there’s no evidence of foul play.

Haim had flulike symptoms before he died and was getting over-the-counter and prescription medications, Police Sgt. William Mann said. The cause of death is unknown, Mann said.

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

Haim was taken by ambulance to the hospital from an apartment in Los Angeles near Burbank. The enormous complex is known as Oakwood and is popular with young actors, Kammert said.

Haim acknowledged his struggle with drug abuse to The Sun in 2004.

“I was working on Lost Boys when I smoked my first joint,” he told the British tabloid.

“I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack,” he said.

Haim said he went into rehabilitation and was put on prescription drugs. He took both stimulants and sedatives such as Valium.

“I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck,” he said. “But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day.”

In 2007, he told ABC’s “Nightline” that drugs hurt his career.

“I feel like with myself I ruined myself to the point where I wasn’t functional enough to work for anybody, even myself. I wasn’t working,” he said.

The Toronto-born actor got his start in television commercials at 10 and earned a good reputation for his work in such films as 1985’s “Murphy’s Romance” and his portrayal of Liza Minelli’s dying son in the 1985 television film “A Time to Live.”

His career peaked and he became a teen heartthrob with his roles in the 1986 movie “Lucas,” and “The Lost Boys,” in which he battled vampires.

In later years, he made a few TV appearances and had several direct-to-video movies. He also had a handful of recent movies that have not yet been released.

But in 1997 he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, listing debts for medical expenses and more than $200,000 in state and federal taxes.

His assets included a few thousand dollars in cash, clothing and royalty rights.

In recent years, he appeared in the A&E reality TV show “The Two Coreys” with his friend Corey Feldman. It was canceled in 2008 after two seasons. Feldman later said Haim’s drug abuse strained their working and personal relationships.

In a 2007 interview on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” Haim called himself “a chronic relapser for the rest of my life.”

A precious little girl walks into a petsmart shop and asks,
in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth,

“Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?”

As the shopkeeper’s heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that
he’s on her level and asks, “Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy, bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?”

She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her
hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice,
“I don’t think my python weally gives a thit.”

His vampire alter ego may be prince charming, but “Twilight” star Robert
Pattinson does not worship women in quite the same way.

In fact, he is downright repulsed by some of their parts.

In a new interview with Details magazine, in which Pattinson was photographed with several scantily-clad female models, the British actor reveals why the shoot wasn’t exactly his cup of tea.

“I really hate vaginas. I’m allergic to vagina,” he tells Details. (Because he swells up when he is around them lmao!)… ”But I can’t say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours.”

Pattinson says he was thankful he was hungover during the ordeal, presumably because he had an excuse for not conversing with the models.

He did, however, take solace in the fact that the shoot wasn’t overly pornographic, comparing its style to that of vintage pornography.

“If you look at porn in, like, the eighties, there was something kind of quaint about it, quite sweet — like this little naked community,” Pattinson tells the magazine.

“The people who made it liked it, they had respect for it. Not remotely like the porn that’s available now…It’s just everything, everywhere.”"

His aversion to contemporary porn aside, Pattinson does devote much of his brain power to women. According to Details, he talked during the interview about, “Jimi Hendrix, French fries, girls, art, beer, his cousin the philosopher, girls, truth, God, his dog, girls…”

Though he seems to have the female species firmly on the brain, Pattinson’s
strongest relationship is with another species entirely.

“The only emotional connection of relevance is with my dog,” he tells Details. “My relationship with my dog, it’s ridiculous.”

At least his tween fans have nothing to be jealous of.

‘Wedding Crasher’ Vince Vaughn has finally taken the plunge.

The longtime bachelor married 31-year-old Canadian real-estate agent Kyla Weber over the weekend, his publicist confirms.

The couple exchanged vows in a small private ceremony at a lavish Italian-style villa just outside the actor’s hometown of Chicago on Saturday.

The 39-year-old actor, who has also starred in ‘Couples Retreat’ and ‘Swingers’, proposed to Weber last Valentine’s Day. The couple had been dating since September 2008 after meeting at the wedding of one of Vaughn’s movie producer friends.

Vaughn has kept his current relationship under wraps, for the most part.

“I don’t talk much about private matters, but I am in a very happy, serious, committed relationship,” said in an interview last year. “I figured this is not a ship to be missed because I will not forget this date. So Valentine’s Day was the day that I asked her.”

“I’ve been very fortunate in my career, and my life has been about that for so long that you get bored of it. You’re ready for your life to be about other people and other things.”
