Actor Corey Haim has died at the age of 38.

According to the LAPD, Haim had been staying with his mother in North Hollywood, and the death appears to have been accidental. Haim was taken to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, and the hospital called LAPD at 3:40 a.m. to notify them that Haim had died of an apparent overdose.

Haim broke into the film industry in 1984 as a child actor. He starred in movies such as Lucas with Charlie Sheen, but his breakthrough role came with his 1987 film Lost Boys.

'CATS' on the prowl at Hollywood premiere

Hollywood hit the red carpet Tuesday at the Pantages Theatre, to celebrate the return of the Broadway musical CATS, but the stars were quickly upstaged by some of the furry felines from the cast.

Comedianne Jo Anne Worley told On the Red Carpet's Rachel Smith, “These cats should all be spayed and neutered you know? I think they are feral cats, but they are very talented.”

Several stars made the show a family affair, including former Spice Girl Mel B, Debi Mazar from Entourage, Jeffrey Nordling from Desperate Housewives, and Jennifer Curry from Two and a Half Men.

Bob Newhart watches '30 Rock', 'The Office'

Bob Newhart doesn’t waste his time listening to laugh tracks.

On the Red Carpet’s Chris Balish caught up with the comedy legend at the Grammy Museum last night in Downtown L.A., where he was celebrating 50 years in show business.

Newhart said he watches 30 Rock and The Office because they don’t use laugh tracks, and he prefers performing for a live audience, like he did back in the day.

“It was like a play.  You’d rehearse it all week and then you’d show up on Friday night, and say I hope it works.  And I think you got better performances out of the actors, out of the writers, because they knew it was going to be judged by an audience.  And so when I hear a laugh track, I kind of go on to the next channel.

Molly Ringwald not a fan of remaking one of her classic 80's movies

It was a 80’s flashback at this year’s Academy Awards with a moving tribute to the late director John Hughes.  He directed the 80’s classics Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, all starring Molly Ringwald. 

OnTheRedCarpet.com caught up with Molly this morning to talk about the tribute.

She told us, “I think the movies I did with John Hughes were really special and that they really spoke to teenagers, you know, they really spoke to teenagers seriously. There’s not a lot of movies that come along that are that special, that really stand the test of time. Those movies have a wonderful shelf life.  There’s teenagers who are still watching them today, generation after generation.  I just feel really proud to be part of those films.”
