The World Is Down One DJ AM

The only story this weekend is the death of DJ AM via apparent drug overdose. The famous DJ, real name Adam Goldstein, was found less alive than usual, in his apartment, surrounded by pill bottles and crack pipes. Sherlock Holmes' services will not be required.

Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing to do with the death, as far as we know.

Here's a picture of Rihanna reacting to the news as she walked out of a performance of The Lion King.


This is the most upset Rihanna has been since Chris Brown beat the piss out of her.

According to people who may or may not know, DJ AM was distraught over a recent break-up with his girlfriend. It's also possible he was still suffering the psychological after-effects of that plane crash that nearly killed him and that dickhead Travis Barker.

Speaking of Barker: according to TMZ, DJ AM's death has caused the drummer and his on-again/off-again Shanna Moakler to stop sniping at each other on Twitter. So he did not die in vain.

Road to Recovery

DJ AM is grateful to be alive. Or was until he ran into Mandy Moore, anyway. What kind of soup is that I wonder?

AM Out

DJ AM attended a memorial service for Chris Baker, the Travis Barker lackey who was killed in the plane crash that also left Barker and AM severely burned. Yeah I know I'm mean if I say anything about this story except "pray for them and their families and their pets and the ringworms that live in their guts." Just one little one though?

DJ's head was burned off and replaced with the head of Christopher Guest. That's not so bad right?

Original Recipe, Not...

The accounts of DJ AM's injuries in the wake of the plane crash that nearly killed him and fellow famous person Travis Barker keep getting downgraded. Initially, it was reported that the DJ's whole face was burned off, then that was revised to 50% of his body including "burns to the head," and now we've found out that he's only burned on 12% of his body. So all you people who are praying for him, you can back off. He doesn't need them as bad as you thought. You can save them for someone who's never been on TV or released a record or fucked Mandy Moore. Barker, however, still needs all the prayers he can get. He needed them before the crash and nothing's really changed.

Plane Crash Fails to Kill Travis Barker

Travis Barker, former Blink 182 drummer and known sex partner of Paris Hilton, has reportedly survived a plane crash that killed at least four people in South Carolina. The Learjet apparently failed to take off as planned, rolled off the end of the runway and through a fence, hit an embankment and caught fire. Reports say former Nicole Richie fuck-partner DJ AM was also on the plane and also survived. Speculation was initially flying that former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell was among the dead but it's since been confirmed that he was not on the plane. The two survivors are both in critical condition at the burn ward. Be a shame if all Travis's lovely tattoos burned off. I'll be back with an update if either Barker or DJ AM croak it or if there were other famous people on the plane who are now dead. Otherwise fuck it.
