It wouldn’t be unusual to see an avid Michael Jackson fan dressed up as the King of Pop at the late singer’s memorial. Unless that fan is Corey Feldman.
The iconic 80s actor made quite the entrance as he arrived to the late pop singer’s memorial at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning.
Wearing a replica of Jackson’s famous military jacket, sunglasses and a black fedora, Feldman, 37, drew puzzled looks, including one from John Mayer, as he used a Kleenex to wipe away his tears, Usmagazine.com reports.
Jackson’s public memorial appears to have hit a soft spot in Feldman, who befriended MJ during the height of both of their career in the 80s.
The unlikely friendship between the two men began during Feldman’s teen years, but they eventually drifted apart.
"I am filled with tremendous sadness and remorse," Feldman wrote on his Web site after Jackson's June 25 death. "All I choose to remember from this point is the good times we shared and what an inspiration he was to me and the rest of the world. Nobody will ever be able to do what Michael Jackson has done in this industry, and he was so close to doing it all again."
Although Feldman did not keep in touch with the singer before his untimely death, the actor remains friendly with the rest of the Jackson family today

When will Borat fly through the audience?
Don’t you mean Bruno?
Didn’t he come forward to say he was molested by Michael Jackson as a youth?
I know one of the Cories did.
Should’ve made himself whiter and stapled his nostrils together.
What a joke. I loathe how every journalism school ccalls everything these days “iconic.”
People in LA are so fake. The entertainment business is disgusting. He was trying to get noticed to get work.
I am filled with tremendous sadness and remorse,”...
I’d say he is overflowing with something else, entirely.
Can’t these people just put on a normal suit? Is that too much to ask?
I like the look except for the crap on the sides of glasses these days.
Bingo. His latest gig was the trainwreck bad "Lost Boys 2" on TNT and I think that had been is only real job in years. He spent the whole time talking like he gargled with broken glass.
He’s overflowing with the effects of longterm alchohol and drug abuse.

COREY FELDMAN - FELDMAN: ‘JACKSON THREATENED MY LIFE’
Child actor COREY FELDMAN has revealed his former pal MICHAEL JACKSON once threatened his life because he thought THE GOONIES star was planning to reveal all about their friendship.
Feldman taped an interview with British investigative reporter MARTIN BASHIR just before he was called as a prosecution witness in Jackson’s child molestation trial and told the journalist his friendship with the King of Pop ended badly on the eve of the terrorist attacks on New York in 2001.
The actor was among the celebrities attending Jackson’s star-studded anniversary concert in New York and was shocked by a brief chat he had with his friend backstage.
In the Bashir interview, which featured on US news show 20/20 on Friday night (11FEB05), Feldman recalled, “Michael had some paranoid delusion that I had some ill-fated intentions to write some sort of book about him, which was categorically untrue.
“What happened next was basically, the way I perceived it, is that he threatened my life.”
Jackson refused to transport Feldman out of New York on his tour bus the following day (11SEP01), after terrorist planes had hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

I am proud to say that I would know Corey Feldman, if I meet him in the street.
I know one of the Cories did.
He was supoenaed during the 2005 trial.
Feldman said he wasn't "improperly touched" by Jackson, but that the relationship was "inappropriate".
More here.
"(sniff) Someone lookit meeee!!"
So, then you’re saying that you COULD distinguish him from Corey Haim?
Wait a sec-—are you guys saying that Michael Jackson is DEAD???
Read that somewhere too. He kind of alluded that MJ gave him some Jesus juice and tried to touch him in the bathing suit area.
Jeez, how many kids did Jackson supposedly molest?!
Amazing how the liberals depict Sarah Palin as a horrible person and yet honor and worship a man who should have been convicted as a child molester.
Beats me.
I thought they were burying some white woman.
Or not.
the media, lib news media and whole entertainment business is just evil. Making MJ into a saint after he ordered his children to be conceived from a doctor and doctor’s nurse. The children, like babies murdered during abortions, have no rights.
Can you imagine being born and it turns out MJ was your father?
Whew! I guess I can take off this black arm band I was wearing for Faye Dunaway.
Macauly Caulkin?
As far as it goes - parents who wanted their kids to be celebrities probably lined up at Neverland to offer their kids up to MJ so he would get them acting, movie and TV work.
I remember when Corey Feldman was in the movie “Dream a Little Dream” he dressed like that, also. It wasn’t uncommon to see back in his heyday.
He still looks like that little troublemaker who caused a whole neighborhhod to riot and tear up a basement.
Yep, knew it at the time.
Just pullin’ your leg.
He's dead Jim.......
I always hated this squirrelly little punk.He was on some celebrity rehab show and was whining about the others going on a fishing trip telling them the fish feel pain.Now it sounds like he was one of Mikey’s butt buddies.
My point was the perverts efforts to feminize (ya know, my dictionary says that's not even a word) himself and make himself whiter.
Flew right over, I guess.
And yes, I did get the Faye Dunaway reference.
Oh, well, a comedian, I'm not, huh?
Nor a cunning linguist.
Last year, Mancow (not the radio host’s REAL name...) had some guest on and was discussing the allegation. Maybe he had one of the Cories on and they were discussing the other one. I don’t recall.
They were discussing substance abuse and some of what led to it. The conversation included a line like “how could you leave me there alone with him, you know what he did...”
A prat by any other name is still a prat.
People went to the Staples Center to see him Thriller Dance once more time.
