In 1986, we watched four boys embark on a journey to find a dead body in Stand By Me, but what they found was a friendship that would last forever.
Not only did Gordon, Teddy, and Vern find that, but so did the actors who played them.
In honor of Stand By Me turning 40 on August 22nd, Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, and Corey Feldman are embarking on another journey. The three men are touring the country and watching the coming-of-age film with their fans.
Yesterday was their first stop in Concord, New Hampshire. Tonight they are in Red Bank, New Jersey. Tomorrow they will be in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Back to the tour, they are traveling by bus to the different locations, and O’Connell shared a video of them together. It was great to see them together again. I have seen Jerry with Wil or Corey, but not with the other two surviving members.
On that note, I picture this is what it would be like if they reunited to attend a memorial for Chris, who we found out was killed at the end of the movie. RIP River Phoenix.
Before Corey Feldman spent Christmas with Gremlins, he spent it giving Santa Claus a McDonald’s gift certificate. How awwwwdorable was the 3-year-old in that 1974 commercial?
Corey Feldman thinks it is still 1985, and he is a big star. But that was 40 years ago. Now, he is a laughable has-been.
You know that. I know that. He doesn’t know that. Therefore, he joined Dancing with the Stars, and I am assuming that he thought he just had to show up for show nights.
I am assuming that because the actor hasn’t shown up for rehearsals, according to his poor partner, Jenna Johnson since ABC announced who was competing on Wednesday. Anyone who knows anything about the dancing competition knows that you cannot do that.
Well, I guess word got back to him, so he finally showed up to work yesterday.
Will a week of rehearsals be enough to help him not be the first one eliminated? Most likely not. And that is probably a good thing for last year’s winner.
Corey Feldman might have starred in Stand By Me, but he has not been standing by his Dancing with the Stars pro Jenna Johnson.
On Wednesday, Good Morning America announced who would be dancing this season, and that was the last time that Johnson saw her partner.
According to Us Weekly, she told fans in an Instagram story on Saturday, “To be completely honest, I actually haven’t seen him since Good Morning America.” Then she explained that he “had some previous work engagements and personal stuff going on.”
What work engagements could he have going on? When was the last time he did any acting? And how much rehearsing does he have to do with his band? So I am not sure I believe that excuse?
I mean, as soon as I heard he was announced, I knew he was not going to spend a lot of time rehearsing. And it looks like I was right.
He better make some time to get in some practice this week because the dancing competition is back on Monday. And it looks like he is not there again today because last year’s winner shared a video after going to the gym today, and he was nowhere to be seen.
He might think he can dance as well as Michael Jackson, but his moves are as dead as the late singer.
This morning on Good Morning America, they revealed who will be competing on Dancing with the Stars. And, like most seasons, I am still trying to figure out who most of the stars are.
So, who are they? They are:
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Jen Affleck with partner Jan Ravnik
Author and wellness influencer Hilaria Baldwin and partner Gleb Savchenko
Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles with partner Ezra Sosa
NBA All-Star Baron Davis with partner Britt Stewart
Social media personality Alix Earle with partner Val Chmerkovskiy
Social media and reality TV star Dylan Efron and partner Daniella Karagach
Actor and musician Corey Feldman with partner Jenna Johnson
“Boy Meets World” star Danielle Fishel with partner Pasha Pashkov
Film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix with partner Alan Bersten
From “Pentatonix,” GRAMMY® winner Scott Hoying with partner Rylee Arnold
Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin with partner Witney Carson
From “Fifth Harmony,” Lauren Jauregui with partner Brandon Armstrong
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Whitney Leavitt with partner Mark Ballas
Comedian Andy Richter with partner Emma Slater
I think that Jennifer Affleck has a good chance of winning. Not because she is the best dancer, which she might be. She will win because her partner is Jan Ravnik, whose claim to fame is dancing on the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. Therefore, the Swifties will be voting for him in mass, and we know how massive their support is.
I also think that Corey Feldman and Hilaria Baldwin will be the first ones out because I don’t think they are not that likable.
Season 34 premieres dances its way onto ABC on September 16th.
