Is it just us, or have far too many of these Week in Reviews lately been recounting tragic deaths of pretty young people we didn't know personally, but who nevertheless left a lasting impression on our young minds back in the 1980s?
This week, after the Oscars swept us away to a glamourous, Clooney-ruled world of red carpets, gorgeous gowns and a hilarious Hitler joke directed at Meryl Streep, we sadly paid tribute to one of the original Tiger Beat studs, Corey Haim...

Kendra: I Was Never Diagnosed With Postpartum Depression
E! Networks
Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett wants everyone to know that she's OK.
She recently went public about her struggle with depression following the birth of her and husband Hank's son, Hank IV, in December. Depending on which website or celebrity magazine you read, Kendra either suffered severe postpartum or was simply a new mom with some worries.
We'll let her explain what really went down…

Attorney General: Corey Haim's Death Linked to "Massive Prescription Drug Ring"

Corey Haim's death just crossed the county line.
A prescription for the painkiller OxyContin made out to the actor was found during the course of an ongoing investigation into the purchase of bogus prescription pads from a San Diego vendor by people using stolen doctors' identities, California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced Friday.
Therefore, the 38-year-old's tragic passing has now become a matter of state interest.

Me-Ow! Audrina Patridge Meets Accused Bling Ringer

Audrina Patridge recently came face-to-face with one of the alleged Hollywood Burglary Bunch, and the claws came out.
The 24-year-old Hills regular crossed paths with Bling Ring suspect and E!'s new Pretty Wild reality starlet Alexis Arlington (née Neiers).
"We saw her at E!'s Oscars afterparty," Alexis' sister Tess, 20, told us. "I was very polite to her, as was Alexis. We were sitting at Ryan Seacrest's table, hanging out with him, and Audrina walks up and she goes, 'I won't sit here if they're sitting there.' So we had to get up and leave."
But there's a little bit more behind the Patridge/Arlington rivalry than just a suspected burglary...

Breaking Bad Bloopers: Better Than Meth!
Breaking Bad's chemistry teacher/meth cooker (Bryan Cranston) and his drug-addicted dealer (Aaron Paul) break plenty of bad...but do they ever break character?
Cue the gag reel!
In this exclusive, hilarious preview of Bad's second-season DVD bonus features, Cranston, Paul and their costars reveal two things: (1) They are not Method actors; and (2) it is possible to have fun even when the script involves cancer, murder, child neglect, bodies falling from the sky and drug addicts choking to death on their own vomit. (And some call this show a dark comedy!)
Breaking Bad's season-two DVD is available Tuesday—just in time for you to catch up before the third season premieres March 21 on AMC.
Kelly Ripa Handles Caulk, Penélope Cruz Tackles Balls, More!
A review of the week, through the eyes of?The Soup. In case you were elsewhere.
? Who knew discussing home improvement could be so fantastically lewd? And who knew Kelly Ripa was so handy?
? What do you get when Halle Berry and Pen?lope Cruz discuss monster testicles? Hint: It's not a bad thing.
? Someone tell this guy the show is called Seducing Cindy, not Seducing Banana.
? Willard Scott looks weird. He acts weird. He says weird stuff. And he's got everybody fooled.
? Oh, that Katie Couric! She's got a bedside manner that just won't quit! Try the veal, ladies and gentlemen!

Jessica Simpson: "I'm OK Being Single"

Just because Jessica Simpson and Billy Corgan hang out and make music together that doesn't mean there's a romance brewing between the two.
"Billy is a dear dear friend of mine," Simpson tells me. "If I am going through a hard time I definitely would talk to Billy. He always has the best words."
Like the verbal lashing he just gave John Mayer in Rolling Stone? Corgan blasts Mayer for kissing and telling and thinks he is "trying to destroy his career."
Simpson laughed when I first told her about Corgan vs. Mayer...
Corey Haim's Stuff for Sale to Pay for Funeral

This is so sad.
Three days after his sudden death, pieces of Corey Haim's T-shirt-heavy wardrobe and other possessions are being auctioned off on eBay to help defray the cost of the late actor's funeral.
"They were at Corey's apartment boxing up his things, saying they were going to take them to the mission," Scott Schwartz, the friend of Haim who's running the auction, tells E! News.
"And I sat [Haim's mom] Judy down and I said, 'I know this will sound horrible, but I do eBay as my job. This might be a way to raise money for the funeral.' And she started to cry and she said even $200 or $300 would help."

There's no shame in begging—and begging and begging—right?
If you happen to be American Idol castoff Todrick Hall, the answer is obviously no. "I'm making it my personal job now to be my own campaign manager to get myself a role on Glee," Todrick confidently informed reporters Friday afternoon of his postshow plans.
It may not sound like begging yet, but wait, there's more...

If they'd had their way, the prolific Hollywood burglar bunch would have been much more prolific.
The six men and women accused of breaking into a slew of celebrity homes to steal clothing, jewelry, purses and other goodies were also keeping tabs on residences belonging to Zac Efron, Vanessa Hugdens, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, Ashley Tisdale and a host of other famous types, according to search warrant documents filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
And it turns out the alleged burglars don't just have a yen for the young and famous.
Kid Rocked for Mere $35,000 in Battery Suit

A pretty small chunk of change for Kid Rock.
The Rock N Roll Jesus artist agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a battery lawsuit filed by three guys who claimed that Rock and a rap group knocked them around outside a Hollywood hotel in 2006.
Michael Medlin, who supposedly suffered a knee injury that required surgery, had sued for $5 million, while coplaintiffs Jose Perez and Carlos Bonilla had gone after $2.5 million and $1 million, respectively.
Can You Spare Some Cash for Corey Haim's Funeral?

Corey Haim is going home, and his family is hoping fans help pay for the ride.
After being autopsied yesterday, the body of the '80s teen heartthrob has been released to his family," Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter confirmed to E! News. It is currently being prepared by an L.A.-area mortuary for shipment back to his native Toronto for interment.
"The mortuary did call to pick it up. Services will be in Canada," Winter said.
A statement on Haim's official website did not specify when the funeral would take place, beyond "next week." But Haim's family is reaching out to fans to contribute to a memorial fund that would help cover some of the costs.
