Grief hits people in different ways. Some keep to themselves, some take to Twitter. Following the news of former child star Corey Haim's death, celebrities expressed their sadness in 140 characters or less. Below is a sampling of the most interesting.
Colson Whitehead, novelist (most recently of "Sag Harbor"):
"In honor of our fallen Corey, we should all sing David Bowie's 'Fame,' substituting Haim where appropriate."

Jeremy Piven (appeared in "Lucas" with Haim):
