Corey Haim collapsed in the bedroom of his mother's apartment and four prescription bottles were found nearby ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

According to TMZ.com, Corey had been sick the last couple of days with flu-like symptoms. The medications recovered, however, were not related to his illness.  No illicit drugs were found in the apartment.

Sources say Haim got out of bed just before 1 AM and collapsed in front of his mother. She called 911 at 12:53 AM and Corey was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:15 AM.

Corey's mom told authorities he had been battling prescription drug addiction for years.

Authorities believe -- though are not certain -- Corey died of an accidental drug overdose.

“The Hurt Locker” was the big winner at last night’s 82nd annual Academy Awards, winning not only six Oscars total, but giving Kathryn Bigelow the first win for a women in the Best Director category. She beat out ex, James Cameron, who was also up for directing “Avatar.”

There was no shortage of funny moments, either, as hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin parodied “Paranormal Activity” and Ben Stiller took the stage dressed as Na’vi from “Avatar.”

The Brat Pack reunited onstage for a tribute to director John Hughes.

There was one major Oscars faux pas this year that had everyone talking. Late “Charlie’s Angel” actress Farrah Fawcett was noticably absent from the “Stars We Lost” tribute at last night’s Academy Awards. Farrah passed away in June at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer. Roger Ebert expressed his annoyance via Twitter: “No Farrah in the memorial. They have a whole lot of ’splaining to do.”

A list of the evenings big winners is as follows:

Best Motion Picture: “The Hurt Locker”

After an affair scandal of epic proportion last year when her husband Josh Duhamel was accused of banging an Atlanta stripper, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie resolved to move forward with their marriage, and alluded to wanting to start a family at some point this year.

It could be that the family she spoke of is officially underway. Some tabloids have noted that Fergie seems to be slightly wider around the middle these days, and friends say that she’s suddenly cut out all alcoholic beverages (a very UN-Fergalicious thing to do) and has become very focused on taking better care of their health.

Friends say that Fergie and Josh’s renewal of their vows early this year was to symbolize their fresh new start after a rough 2009, and that “a baby is their number one priority.”

Tom Bergeron will have his own partner when "Dancing With the Stars" returns later this month. Former series winner Brooke Burke will be his co-host.

Bergeron announced the change on ABC's "Good Morning America" today

.

As a contestant, Burke won during the season that ended in November 2008. She has hosted TV shows including CBS' "Rock Star" and E!'s "Wild On."

My, how the mighty fall. 90s singer and hitmaker D’Angelo was arrested over the weekend after soliciting an undercover policewoman for oral sex. The 34-year-old offered her $40 to see how many licks it took to get to the center of his tootsie roll. Upon investigation, authorities also discovered that he had wads of cash in his vehicle, totaling up to $12,000.

Despite the odds stacking up against him, D’Angelo says that he plans to plead not guilty, and that he hopes “the public will allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions.”

So, you know, be sure you thoroughly consider ALL OF THE OPTIONS when you start judging him for tossing two twenties at a woman he though he was a prostitute while unzipping his fly. I’m sure there’s a really solid story there that has NOTHING to do with sex.

It’s the news we’ve all been waiting to hear: Betty White has confirmed that she’ll make an appearance on an upcoming episode of “Saturday Night Live.” The former “Golden Girl” let the news slip at the 18th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Viewing Party Sunday evening, but didn’t outline the details of her appearance. Word is that she’ll be part of a “Women of Comedy” special, which will also include appearances from Tina Fey and Molly Shannon. (Lorne Michaels has denied those reports.)

Singer Rihanna and Dodgers player Matt Kemp keep insisting that they’re just friends, even as Kemp threw an elaborate party for RiRi for her birthday, and even as they continue to spend every waking moment out and about, tangled up in one another’s arms. Rihanna, in fact, just flew into Arizona from BERLIN this past Saturday, just so that she could meet Kemp’s family, as well as attend her boo’s Ante Up for Autism charity bash.

Kemp’s brother, fyi, is autistic.

Witnesses who were on-hand for the first exchange of niceties between Rihanna and Kemp’s family said that nothing seemed awkward, and that the R&B star seemed very comfortable among her man’s kin.

As for Kemp’s charity event, there were only 150 attendees and they still managed to raise a whopping $170,000 at the gala.

Rihanna will next be seen at the Kid’s Choice Awards on March 27th, which she’s scheduled to perform for.

This looks so amazing!!

Hilary Duff will soon be able to add “author” to her resume. The former Disney actress and current singer has inked a deal with Simon & Schuster to write a teen series fiction, the first of which will be in stores as early as October. The name of the book is “Elixir” and will follow the adventures of a photojournalist named Clea Raymond.

The recently engaged star isn’t focused solely on fiction, however, and intends to write a nonfiction book that will be in stores in 2012. It will focus on children who have to cope with divorce – an all-too popular trend these days. Duff herself went through it, and her experience is chronicled in her songs “Stranger” and “Gypsy Woman.”

Hilary is joining other starlets who have turned to writing for income. Lauren Conrad has penned a successful series, and Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth are both working on one.

It’s a spoof of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind” – it’s the “Entrepreneur State of Mind.” It’s The New Dork…. HUGE props to this guy

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are longtime lovers with children, and one would think that such a strong relationship of twelve years would carry a certain amount of security.

Apparently not when it comes to Angelina Jolie.

The actress, who notoriously stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston when they filmed “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and stole Billy Bob Thornton out from under Laura Dern – while she was out of the country, no less! – has signed on to “The Tourist” with leading man, Johnny Depp. The script, however, reportedly calls for a steamy romantic scene between Jolie and Depp that he wasn’t aware of prior to entering into a contract to film it.

The second Vanessa found out about this scene, she didn’t beat around the bush. She told her dude to quit the movie.

Surprisingly, Johnny agreed and has been doing what he can to wriggle out of the film. He hasn’t been all that successful yet, and is still on board, but there is some murmurs that replacements are at least being discussed. Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are among the names in the hat.

Neither Sony pictures nor the picture’s director, Graham King, has commented on the situation.

Lindsay Lohan has said a lot in recent weeks, but she has even more to tell, apparently, as the once-successful actress reportedly plans to pen a tell-all book.

(I had no idea that she could identify all the letters of the alphabet, let alone write a whole book by assembling them.)

Lohan told “OK!” magazine, “It’s going to take a while, all my life experiences. I started writing it a year ago. There’s a lot to put down, you know?”

I don’t know. And quite frankly, I don’t want to know.

Lohan says that writing is rather therapeutic for her, because she can see “what’s happening on paper.” Then again, one might think that seeing the life experiences she’s been through in the past few years laid out on paper may be the opposite of therapeutic. DUIs, drug abuse, highly publicized family feuds, and the ongoing shenannigans of Daddy Lohan.

No word on when this book might be on store shelves.

Singer Ke$ha is striking up a cat fight with the most unstable pop singer in the industry: Britney Spears! The “Tik Tok” vocalist shot off at the mouth about Brit’s fondness for not singing live. “No offense to her specifically but people have asked me before to mime. I have been up at three in the morning for a television show with jet lag but I refuse to mime. It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing.”  I can see the headlines already, LOONEY VEGAS MIME SHOW STARRING:BRITNEY SPEARS AND KE$HA!

Rihanna has an aesthetic quality about her that likely requires long hours in the gym and a very limited caloric intake. The latter is cheap. The former, she simply doesn’t like to pay for, apparently.

Personal trainer Cindy Percival is suing the singer for more than $26K. She says that she was hired by Rihanna at the rate of $1500 a day last year, but wasn’t compensated for several weeks between September and October. Not only that, but she wants a bit of coinage compensation for traveling with Rihanna in Europe so that RiRi could keep her girlish figure in check on tour.

Rihanna has spoken before of the importance of a personal trainer. “I work out every day but I need a trainer to motivate me – I don’t find it much fun working out on my own.”

Nor does she find it fun to pay the bills for that banging body!

This clip shows a tiny tot Lady Gaga impersonator strutting her stuff, working go-go boots and black lipstick. This is some kind of foreign TV talent show, so be ready for that, but the kid performs in English for some reason. It’s a little creepy watching an 8-year-old sing “Bad Romance” and “Paparazzi” on stage.

Jessica Simpson appears on the Oprah Winfrey show today to promote her new VH1 reality show, “The Price of Beauty,” and of course, the subject of John Mayer’s recent offensive “Playboy” interview came up. Mayer referred to Jess as “sexual napalm” and claimed an addiction to her in-bed romps, comparing it to an addiction to “crack cocaine.”

Simpson briefly addressed her ex’s embarrassing revelations for the first time, saying, “I’m a little bit angry…I don’t want people to know how I am in bed.”

Too late.

Jessica also addressed her weight, which has gone up and down over the past year. She was the focus of ridicule when some unflattering pictures of her at a gig in “mom jeans” surfaced last year, and was referred to as “fat” in tabloids and on gossip blogs. The singer points out that she was only a size four at that time, and adds that she’s happy with her body now. “I’m not ever going to be a size zero, and I don’t want to weigh 90 lbs.”

Finally, an intelligent sentence leaves that girl’s mouth!

Ahhhh, dating. It’s the nightmare from which you never wake up. Why do we do it? Because it’s the best way to find the guy we want to marry. And why do we want to get married? So we never have to date again. Find out the seven types of guys you’re more than likely to end up dating along the way. Don’t say we didn’t warn you, girlfriend.

1. The Jock: You were in college. He was there. It just kind of happened. Looking back on it years later, this is the only way you’ll be able to explain how many days of your life you wasted on a guy who couldn’t punctuate his way out of a paper bag. Why did you date a guy who was, sure, nice but, how can we say this politely, a bit dim? Three word answer: He. Was. Hot. Sometimes, a physique can be so distracting.

2. The Lunatic: You knew he was crazy the first day that you met him, and you went out with him anyway. Not only did you go out with him, you had a relationship with him. It seemed like a good idea at the time, being the object of someone’s obsession. But when you dumped him, he wept openly in front of you, and that’s when you realized, you weren’t going out with a man, you were going out with a woman.

3. Mr. Smartypants: He went to an Ivy League school. He was a member of MENSA. He was polysyllabic. You felt smarter when you were around him—that is, until you didn’t. Then it occurred to you that he’d rather talk than have sex, and that is not how you roll. Eventually, you realized a ROOMBA would love you more than this robot. The sad truth is, it took him a week to notice you were gone.

4. The Loser: For a while, you could overlook the fact that he lived with his mom, that he didn’t have a job, that you paid for every single date. I mean, he was a nice guy, right? You had to draw the line when he lost the will to bathe with soap, when he started picking clothes up off the floor with his toes because he “didn’t have the energy” to bend over and pick them up, when he wondered out loud if depression was …. contagious. Thankfully, it wasn’t. Kicking him to the curb got rid of your depression-by-association, pronto.

5. The Jerk: He was hilarious! He was the life of the party! He would not let anyone or anything stop him from speaking his mind! It was all well and good when it was directed elsewhere, but a few months in, you became his new favorite target. As an “experiment,” when you asked him if you looked fat in those jeans, he said, “Yes!” That way, he explained, you would never ask him again. You didn’t even bother telling him the relationship was over; it’s not like he’d have cared.

6. The Pervert: He wasn’t bad. In fact, he was kind of good. And in bed, he was reallllllly good. Sexually speaking, he brought you to new heights, and you did things with him that you would really not like the internet to know about because you are not sure they are legal in all states. The dates and conversations were mere foreplay for what kept you together: bonin’. Sadly, he couldn’t keep it in his pants. He was God’s gift to women, or so he said. So, you let the other girls have him.

7. The Keeper: He’s handsome, but he’s no pretty boy. He’s ambitious and successful, but not a workaholic. He’s really into you, the real you, and maybe in some way that you can only admit to yourself now, you weren’t even the real you until you met him. Every other guy you dated was worth it if they led you to this one. You make frog legs for dinner and hope it lasts forever.

Reports have surfaced that mother of 8, Kate Gosselin, will be in the next line-up of “Dancing with the Stars” contestants. The reality show mom will be showing off her fancy footwork on season 10, along with one of the most promising and exciting line-ups the show has announced in a while.

Other contestants to compete in the upcoming season include “Bachelor” Jake Pavelka, Pamela Anderson (hopefully, someone told her she has to wear clothes for this show), Cincinnati Bengals player Chad Ochocinco, soap opera actress Aiden Turner, ESPN reporter Erin Andrews (who was the center of the naked video scandal last year), former “90210″ actress Shannen Doherty, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Niecy Nash, Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, and Olympic skater Evan Lysacek.

Now THAT is what I’m talking about! Count me in when the new season premieres on March 11th!

Never leave a trail of text messages again! TigerText allows mobile users to set time limits for text messages to be retained after being sent. When that time span has elapsed, the text message will automatically be deleted and will not be available on the mobile phone of the message sender, receiver or any intermediary server. Ironically enough, the app developer says program was named before Tiger Woods’ public thrashing for philandering, which saw his alleged lovers tout text messages as proof of his “indiscretions.”

NOW WE'RE HELPING PEOPLE CHEAT? THAT'S SICK!!  I'M LITERALLY DISGUSTED... SHAME ON YOU i-Phone! (yes I am typing in caps, I am yelling on the internet!)

Russia’s Oops! magazine Photoshopped the hell out of Taylor Swift‘s face for its cover. Now, she looks like one of those super-pretty-it-hurts transsexuals, who had enough cash for good, Heidi Montag, I mean Barbie-style cosmetic surgery.

John Mayer is STILL apologizing for his “Playboy” interview. He played a show in New York this past week and told his audience that he’s a different person – one who can’t believe he would ever use the “N” word or refer to an ex as “sexual crack cocaine.” Mayer said to his fans at his sold out Madison Square Garden show, “I hate to come off like an a**hole ever, and thank you guys for believing that I’m not an a**hole. It’s a clean me now, people, clean me.”

Doesn't he remind you of that drunk guy you knew in college that would always drink waaaaay to much?  Says things he shouldn't say and at the end of the night he either gets punched in the face or passes out from the alcohol?  The next day apologizing over and over and over because he got way to drunk and said a lot of stuff he shouldn't have...

Coffee snobs can find more than froth and sugar at the bottom of their cups – personality lives there as well. While strolling out of a cafe on the way to work, that cup of coffee in your hand is actually emitting hidden meanings to passers-by. In their new book, The You Code, body language experts Judi James and James Moore translate what our caffeine preferences reveal about our self esteem, stress levels and even sex life.

THE ESPRESSO DRINKER – Espresso drinkers tend to be moody, hard-bitten and hard working. They are into leadership and fast goals. They don’t suffer fools but are hard living and prone to “night-time shenanigans, followed by a rather louche attempt at day time repair”. The espresso drinker can be an experienced, exciting and consummate lover but is not known for reliability or unswerving loyalty.

THE BLACK COFFEE DRINKER – This type is all about minimalism and takes a no-frills, direct approach to life. The black coffee drinker can be quiet and moody but prone to brief bursts of extroversion. A difficult but potentially rewarding friend, colleague or partner.

THE LATTE DRINKER – Typically metrosexuals or cuddly-toy collectors, latte drinkers are pleasers with an overwhelming compulsion to be liked. A latte drinking boss will use a baby voice to tell you off. Latte drinkers reveal that while they may want to come across as hot-shot contenders, they have an immature side.

THE CAPPUCCINO DRINKER – What’s not to like about the extroverted, optimistic cappuccino drinker? Like their drink, cappuccino drinkers are all froth and bubble, bored by detail and liking – but not obsessed with – material objects. The cappuccino drinker enjoys sex but is easily bored by an unimaginative partner.

THE FRAPPUCINO DRINKER – Flighty and shallow, the frappucino drinker will try anything once – especially if a celebrity has done it first. They fancy themselves as trend setters but send out the message that they are someone who favors style over substance. The frappucino drinker’s relationships often last as long as their drink choice.

THE NON-COFFEE DRINKER – Unfortunately, the verdict isn’t good… Frightened of coffee equals frightened of life. If the taste of coffee puts you off you really are a child, and it’s time to join the world of grown-ups.

Makes me want to invest in some roller skates and ruffled booty shorts!!
