The Lost Boys

On tonight's 20/20, Corey Feldman talks to Martin Bashir about the "inappropriate" relationship he had with Michael Jackson in the '80s (Jacko was a apparently a huuuuge Goonies fan).

Feldman says in the Q&A:

"I started looking at each piece of information and with that came this sickening realization that there have been many occurrences in my life and in my relationship to Michael that have created a question of doubt."
For example: twenty years ago MJ showed CF a coffee table book with nekkid people.
"The book was focused on venereal diseases and the genitalia and he sat down with me and he explained it to me, showed me some different pictures and discussed what those meant."
Since these revelations came to light, the actor has been subpoenaed in Jacko's child molestion case. Dude knows a good photo opportunity when he sees one. Remember when C-Feld was married by MC Hammer on The Surreal Life? That's hott. I can't even get Rev. Young MC to preside over my nuptials.

McCauley Culkin is subpoenaed in the case too, but no news (yet) from Emmanuel Lewis' camp. Sadly I CANNOT WAIT for this shit to start playing out on Court TV.

I don't get cable, so sadly I will miss out on the E! reenactment of the trial every-night, but I just thank god I get a staticy court TV signal. Sad or not, I'm ready for this new media circus.

MC Hammer also presided over the wedding of Vince Neil and his plastic surgery receptionist bride. plus he sold "can't touch this" as the song for two different commercials airing at the same time. what does this all mean? good or bad?

Who buys a coffee table book about VD? (Michael Jackson, I guess)

No doubt Paul. Published from his personal collection I'm sure.

who in their right mind would want publicity stemming from jacko's molestation charges? and i thought corey feldman had hit bottom before...
do you think jacko touched corey's swimsuit area?

You know how sometimes witnesses and victims subconcsiously create stories? I hope Corey didn't do that. But it is Michael Jackson we're talkin' about, so anythings possible.
I don't know what to believe. Guide me, CourtTV, guide me.

i wish they would televise the court proceedings, but they're strictly against this with this case.

Conan O'Brien joked during his Late Night monologue on Wednesday night, "In a recent interview Corey Feldman says that some parts of his childhood relationship with Michael Jackson were not so innocent. What's even more shocking is that someone interviewed Corey Feldman."

I just keep thinking back to CF's weird MJ dance sequence in "Dream a Little Dream." What psychic pain ripped through his mind as he moonwalked to "The Way You Make Me Feel?" I*t gives one pause.

To be serious for a sec, he probably didn't look for the press, the press was looking for him. What halfway decent reporter who remembers the '80s WOULDN'T call him?

I WAS WAITING FOR THESE GUYS TO GET INTERVIEWED!!!!! finally. It all seemed so strange...corey really wanted to be like MJ for a long long time, the hair, hat clothes moves, what have you. and then rehab, i wonder why...same with macauley.

If you have ever actually seen the movie Moonwalker or something like that where mj runs around with a bunch of kids in some armageddon-land, a young sean lennon was in that movie. wonder when he'll get questioned...the list of boys are endless! It's really sad, actually.

In 3rd grade, (83) I Loved Micheal Jackson. I probably could have been lured into his boudouir. I am a girl, though, so probably not...but anyhooters...

Did anyone catch that train wreck of a show on VH-1 about MJ's childhood? I happen to flip on the show when the girl from the way you make me feel video was on talking about how she really liked Michael and when she went to go talk to him on the set Ricky Schroder and Alphanso Reberto were in his trailer!

Have they talked to Alfonso yet? I'm thinking he took the role of Carlton on "Fresh Prince" to aid his suppression of some bad memories.

It's really strange (and convenient) how Corey has changed his story about his friendship with Michael Jackson in the years since 1993.

"CJ" has obtained an audio interview between actor Corey Feldman and Santa Barbara sheriffs. Recorded in December 1993, the interview includes Corey stating -- not once but numerous times -- that his friend Michael Jackson, whom he hung out with, didn't do anything improper with him.

"Nothing ever happened with Michael and me," Corey is heard saying. "Believe me, If there was something that I'd been hiding for all these years, then I would want nothing more than to bring it out right now, to make sure that Michael got the help that he needed."

http://celebrityjustice.warnerbros.com/news/0502/09a.html

From what I've heard, Corey was offended after the 9/11 attacks, when Michael chose to assist Liz, Marlon, and Liza (no word on David Gest, tho!) in fleeing New York, instead of him. Poor Corey. Now he hates Michael. Crybaby!

Say, any word on Oasis hitting the West Coast?

CF is still saying the same thing: MJ never touched him. He's just acknowledging that their friendship was weird and inappropriate, which is true.

If you ask me CF is weird and inappropriate, and so is McCauly Culkin.

I understand that Corey was one of the "celebs" at the DNC this past summer. I so would have loved it if VH-1 followed him around durring the convention with a camera.

I heard that the trial won't be on court TV. There isn't any press allowed in the courtroom. Too bad. It was promising to be the biggest event since OJ.

im with another poster, who shows someones a book about VD? That's disgusting! I remember when the health department came to my H.S and showed that crap. People left out looking pale or green in the face..Ick! I so hope they find a way to get the trial or something on Court TV...this will definitely give new meaning to the phrase "media circus" lol.

This is all really sad, it causes me to lose faith in all of the boy bands of the early 70's. First it was Danny Partridge, now Michael Jackson, who's next? Donny Osmond!? :sob:
