Emma Roberts, the 20 year-old actress and niece to Julia Roberts stopped by the Grand Opening of Denim Habit in New York City on Tuesday night. She talked fashion and denim, but most importantly, this young actress gave us the dish on why she could never be a Hollywood bad girl.
“I have a really good family and friends so I think that helps me stay grounded as far as not going crazy,” Roberts tells Hollyscoop.
Even though she was out and about in NYC for the Denim Habit party, she says when she’s home in LA she rarely goes out.

“I love @Kennyortega and trust that he will do something special #DirtyDancingRemake,” the original star Tweeted on Monday night.
"Blown away by all of the love expressed for #DirtyDancing. Makes me want to see it again. So grateful to have been a part of it."
There's a fine line between people expressing their "love" and them expressing their disgust over yet another unnecessary Hollywood remake.
Since starring in Dirty Dancing back in 1987, Jennifer Gray hasn't just disappeared into obscurity. The actress won Season 11 of Dancing With the Stars and married actor/director Clark Gregg in 2001.
So how are the rest of our favorite 80's stars holding up thirty years later?
We also asked other celebs like Michael Chiklis and Holly Robinson Peete what they would say to Lindsay if they were one of her parents. Here’s what they had to say.
Candace Cameron, who starred on Full House for eight years, never found herself in trouble. “I don’t know anything about going to jails,” she said bluntly. “So I don’t have any advice for her. I wish her all the best and I hope this is what she’ll need to get her on the right path.”
Alyssa Milano was a child star on Who’s The Boss, but says she grew up in a very normal household. “I kind of feel like everyone is on their own path. Growing up in this business is hard but it shouldn’t be your identity,” Milano told us. “The people that struggle in this industry would have struggled no matter what they did in life. If they were in college right now they would be struggling one way or another. I don’t think the business does it to kids. I think families, you know the way you grow up does it to kids.
“I had the best circumstance in the world, my parents have been married for 42 years, I started acting when I was seven and my parents gave me this really strong foundation. I was able to come home and have dinner. My mom cooked dinner every night, it was very normal and it was still hard growing up in this business. They instilled sort of priorities, what was important in life and I think that really saved me.”
Corey Feldman thinks being young in Hollywood is a tragedy waiting to happen. He himself struggled with drug addiction. “I don’t encourage people to start in this business before they are old enough to make the decision to do so. I think it’s pretty important that kids try to stay away from stardom before being 18 years old,” said Feldman.
Feldman continued, "I encourage parents to keep their kids out of the business before they are old enough to make the decision for themselves. Strictly because its usually not the kids themselves that have the problem its the parents; they lose sight of what is important.”
Holly Robinson Peete really feels for Lindsay. She told us, “I feel really bad for her. I really do. I feel as though she has people around her that are not able to get her to understand what is going on in her life. It’s one of those rock bottom scenarios. I say prayers for her at night. I really do feel she is a really lost soul. I wish her the best.”
Eva La Rue thinks Lilo should have been let out early from jail. “I think that is more tragic than how badly she has fallen down the rabbit hole,” she said. “I think it’s more tragic that they let her out of jail than…the only place for her to think things through is kind of in jail.”
Michael Chicklis believes Lindsay will make a comeback. “She is young, we are all entitled to make some mistakes,” he said. “She needs to get people around her that really care about her so that she can get to herself and heal herself. So she can move on with her life and what is important.”
All great pieces of advice! Now it’s a matter of whether Lindsay will consider listening to people for a change! Time will tell!

Corey Feldman was absent from the funeral, having announced earlier in the week that he wouldn’t be attending. He said he preferred to mourn in Los Angeles, and honor the family’s wishes of keeping it a small and quiet affair.
He said, “I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey’s funeral, however due to their strong religious beliefs, and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey’s funeral on Tuesday a small, private affair.” Feldman is however planning on hosting a memorial service for his friend next month.
Haim’s second cousin Maytal Kotler told the Toronto Star the service was "very sad but with a lot of laughter."
We’re happy the Haim family was able to give Corey a proper funeral—last week it was reported that a company called Startifacts had stepped to offer to pay for the whole thing, setting them back $20,000.
Rest in peace, Corey!

"In the days following my best friend Corey Haim's death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me," Feldman says in a statement. "I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey's funeral, however, due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey's funeral on Tuesday a small private affair."
"Understanding the recent media attention and to be respectful of the family's wishes, I have decided not to attend.
"Instead, I will remain in Los Angeles quietly mourning and planning his memorial," Feldman adds. "As a sign of respect, I am asking the media to honor Corey Haim by making the same choice. I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month. At that time, the media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans and the rest of the Hollywood community."
His funeral is set for Tuesday in Canada.

From the time Fanning has been a child, people have noted that she seems wise beyond her years. And even now at age 16, she hasn’t turned to drugs or alcohol, which has claimed the lives of so many young stars.
Hollyscoop spoke with Dakota on the red carpet of her new movie The Runaways, and asked her how she stays in the limelight, and out of trouble.
The starlet told us EXCLUSIVELY, “I just don’t know. I stick to myself and live my own life."
When asked what Dakota thought about former teen star Corey Haim’s tragic death, she told Hollyscoop EXCLUSIVELY, "I think that everyone has their own path in their life,” Dakota explained. “And of course when anyone passes away its horrible.”
Fanning offered up her condolences to Haim’s family, and added sweetly, “Whatever he went through, I don’t think I am in a position to judge somebody else.”
We hope more young stars would act like Dakota (on and off the screen!). She’s an amazing role model to younger kids in the industry, including her younger sister Elle, who is making a name for herself as well. Sounds like Dakota has great parents who haven’t allowed her to do whatever she wants just because she’s a movie star!

Feldman appeared on Larry King Live on Wednesday night to talk about his friend's tragic death and admits that Haim was broke and living "month-to-month" at the Oakwood Apartments in Los Angeles.
Haim owed more than $200,000 in state and federal taxes and had miles of medical bills stacking up. He "didn't even have a car," added Feldman.
And while Feldman appreciates the outpouring support from fans and friends he couldn't help but wonder, "Where were all these people to lend a hand out, to reach out to him and say, you know, you're a legend ... you're an amazingly talented, wonderful person who's really never gone out of his way to hurt anybody other than himself."
He went on, in the entertainment industry, "we build people up as children, we put them on pedestals and then when we decide that they're not marketable anymore, we walk away from them," said Feldman. "And then we taunt them and we tease them ... Why is it OK to kick somebody when they're down?"
Check out Feldman's emotional interview with Larry King below...

His mother Judy is too "devastated" to speak about her loss but his "brother" Corey Feldman, who co-stared with Corey in Lost Boy's and A&E's reality show, The Two Corey's is speaking out about the loss calling it a "tragic loss." Here's what he had to say:
"I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren't even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face.
"I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school.
"This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference.
"Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time. I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived.
