Corey Haim was laid to rest today in his hometown of Toronto.
Over 200 of Corey's friends and family attended the services today at Steeles Memorial Chapel.
Corey Feldman, who previously said he would not be making the trip to honor his old friend because the funeral was meant to be a "small, private affair," was not in attendance.
The 38-year-old former child star died of "pulmonary congestion" on March 10th in Los Angeles.
X17online has learned that a larger memorial in LA will take place on April 2 or 3.
When addressing her weight battle on The Today Show this morning, Kirstie Alley got rather snippy after viewing a clip that suggested her new diet plan might be connected to Scientology. Not only is she scary to look at, but after listening to her rant on and on about food and drugs, we're scared for our lives (and Meredith's)!

Shia LaBeouf graces the April cover of GQ, and the actor talks about working with Oliver Stone on Wall Street 2, his highly publicized 2008 car crash and his Oscar nominated girlfriend Carey Mulligan.
We were surprised to hear the actor open up about his relationship with Carey, but it seems like she's stolen his heart. Shia says:
“I never really had anything in my life that was off-limits. But with this, just out of respect, I just don’t want to f*ck around. She’s an unbelievably thought-provoking actress, the most talented actress I’ve ever met in my life, by leaps and bounds. Neither one of us are fame whores. It works out. It’s not like we’re the premiere couple; we’re not the red-carpet king and queen.â€Â
So what about crashing his truck back in 2008? Shia's still defending himself, and he even takes a jab at Khloe Kardashian! Shia vented to the mag:
“I’d be watching the news, and they’d play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian’s sister would jump on TV and preach to me from the red carpet about how to live my f*cking life. And I’m so upset, man. I’m so angry. Because this accident was not caused by me. I got hit. I had a green. This f*cker ran a red light. And he flipped my truck, and he shoveled it on my hand. And my fingers are in the street ... they’re off, they’re under the truck door, man."

Reesie and her giant friend grabbed a bite before a workout. At least, in that outfit I hope she was on her way to workout!

Rufus Wainwright has been called by Elton John "the greatest songwriter on the planet." The multi-talented artist has a slew of celebrities that are making it front row and center for his performances, too!
Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Lucy Liu and Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley are just a few that were in attendance at the Gramercy Park Hotel last night for Wainwright's intimate performance.
There's nothing like having famous friends pack the house!

Just one day after rumors that Paula Abdul was in talks to join the Star Search reboot as a judge/host, she's saying don't believe the hype!
"Once again, until you hear it from me, you can't believe what you read," the judge without a show tweeted just an hour ago.
Not a straight out denial, but we'd much prefer to see Paula join her former co-star Simon Cowell on X-Factor rather than a reinvention of a dated series that will be debuting in its third incarnation this summer!

Angelina Jolie has donated $75,000 to a school for girls in eastern Afghanistan's Nangarhar province, according to UNHCR.
The school features eight classrooms, four administration buildings, a well and eight bathrooms, and it can accommodate up to 800 girls in two shifts. The academy was inaugurated last Thursday, and classes start on Monday.
Just 18 months ago, Jolie visited the settlement for refugee returnees and expressed concern about the lack of basic education facilities for children, so we're glad to see her taking some action.
