Let's have a new rule: When you're attending somebody's funeral, you should avoid dressing up like that person. Like, how you're not supposed to wear white at somebody else's wedding because, you know, it's not your day?

Granted, Corey Feldman is attending Michael Jackson's memorial, after all—at the Staples Center, with Usher and a kid from British TV singing—so some spectacle is OK. Like how the Brothers Jackson pulled off their matching sparkly gloves as a fashion tribute to M.J. Just the right amount of flair.

But...oh, Corey!

Showing up in full costume with crunchy gelled hair, black military blazer, sunglasses, fedora—not cool. Intentional or not, this getup stumbles right past tribute and into mockery.

So let's take this opportunity, as we often do, to learn from Corey Feldman's mistakes.
