MORE ON DJ AM

Many people today are comparing his death to the movie Final Destination, how he cheated death 11 months ago in the plane crash, then dying the day the movie opened…

Law enforcement sources directly connected say that it was an accidental overdose and not a suicide – that he was dependent on Xanax to reduce anxiety as a direct result to the plane crash 11 months ago.

THE LADIES UPSET THE LADY!

WHITNEY IS BACK!

I Look To You, Whitney Houston's first album of original material in 7 years, arrives in stores today. It's being released on a Monday instead of the usual Tuesday because today, August 31st, is the cutoff date for an album to be eligible for the 2010 Grammys. Whitney says she really had no intention of every making another record until music biz legend Clive Davis, the man who discovered her and signed her to her first record contract, contacted her about three years ago.

DJ AM FOUND DEAD IN MANHATTAN APARTMENT




NEW YORK (AP) --DJ AM, the sought-after disc jockey who became a celebrity in his own right with high-profile romances and a glamorous lifestyle and survived a plane crash just months ago, was found dead in his apartment Friday. He had a history of drug problems.

Police found a crack pipe and prescription pills in the Manhattan apartment, said a law enforcement official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Paramedics had to break down the door before they found him, shirtless and wearing sweatpants, in his bed around 5:20 p.m., the official said.

A friend had called police to say he was unable to get into the home in the trendy SoHo neighborhood. There was no evidence of foul play, and a medical examiner will determine the DJ's cause of death.

DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, had talked openly about past addictions to crack cocaine, Ecstasy and other drugs, addictions so bad he once tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head — but the gun jammed. However, he claimed he had been drug-free for years, even swearing off cigarettes.

His spokeswoman, Jenni Weinman, said the circumstances surrounding his death were unclear. She pleaded for privacy for his family.

In October, MTV was to debut his new reality show, "Gone Too Far," in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers. In a recent interview with the AP, he talked about holding a crack pipe for the first time in years for the show and said he felt as though he had an angel on his shoulder for surviving so much turmoil.

Last year, he was badly hurt in a South Carolina plane crash that killed four people and seriously injured rock musician Travis Barker.

MTV did not have an immediate comment on whether Goldstein's show would air, but said in a statement that it "was honored to support him as he helped young people battle their own addictions."

DID MICHAEL JACKSON MAKE THE GREATEST ESCAPE EVER?

At least we now know why Michael Jackson hasn’t been buried yet…according to yesterday’s reports, he’s STILL alive. There’s a website called http://www.liveleak.com/ – they have a video that’s gone viral – showing MICHAEL JACKSON coming out of the coroner’s van- license plates match. This story ran in the Chicago Tribune, KTLA Channel 5 in LA…So let’s do the math. He died, then was put in the van, but then he GOT out of the van, and hasn’t been seen since.

Apparently Chris came forward and admitted there had been 2 other related incidents with Rihanna, last year in Eyurope and one in Barbados, but he really wants to change and be a better person.

DID WHITNEY GET A NEW LOOK?

Is it just me or does this look NOTHING like Whitney Houston?!?
MICHAEL JACKSON DEATH RULED A HOMOCIDE

The LA County Coroner's office has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homocide. What does this mean? Well, designating Jackson's death a homocide means that legally, he died at the hands of another person. However, it does not mean he was murdered or that any crime was committed.More on this one for sure.

Apparently, Dr. Conrad Murray had been treating Michael for 6 weeks for insomnia -- giving him 50 milligrams of Propofol every night through an IV. Propofol is sometimes referred to as Milk of Amnesia, it’s an INCREDIBLY powerful sedative, used during operations. Murray told cops he was worried that Michael was getting addicted so he reduced the dosage to 25 mg. The morning Jackson died, Dr. Murray gave Jackson valium. The valium didn’t work, so he gave him an injection of Lorazapam – an anti anxiety drug. He was still awake, so he gave him midazolam -- a sedative. Then MORE Propofol. Cops also found Valium, Tamsulosin, Temazepam, Clonazepam, Trazodone and Tizanidine.

Now it should be noted that one should NEVER leave the room during the administration of this drug Propofol. Anesthesiologists NEVER do, yet Dr Murray is now going on record saying he gave him the drug, then left the room to go to the bathroom for 2 mins max. Some say this isn’t accurate. We’re actually hearing that he waited 2 FULL hours before calling 911.

THAT’S FINE SWEETIE, NOW GO CASH THAT BIG CHECK FOR DADDY!

Go ahead, you can judge Miley Cyrus for pole dancing at the Teen Choice Awards earlier this month, but her daddy evidently approved of the performance. Are we surprised that Billy Ray doesn't seem too concerned, he said, "I always tell her to love what you're doing and stay focused on the love of the art”. That’s right. Pole dancing. ART.

MJ BURIAL DATE MOVED

Michael Jackson may not be buried on his birthday after all – his Dad Joe is saying it’ll be 2 days later on August 31st, because the family still has matters to tend to before the private service is held.

JON AT JACK DANIELS

Jon Gosselin has been complaining about how he doesn’t have any money – but today’s news is that he just bought a present for his 23 yr old girlfriend Hailey Glassman. He went to Jack Daniels Motors car dealership in Upper Saddle River, NJ, on August 11 to pick out a “sporty but safe car” for Hailey, settling on a $70,000 Porsche SUV. This kinda explains why he’s tipping off the paparazzi and then splitting the cash when the pictures sell. DIRTBAG.

JUST JOE JONAS?

Joe Jonas may be leaving the Jonas brothers. For now, we better get used to the idea of the 3 guys going their separate ways – either that, or Joe is going to become a Justin Timberlake and go solo. He’s now going to be a judge on American Idol, he was just cast in the new movie Valentine’s Day.

JON TO GET THE AXE…

I hate to give focus to Jon Gosselin, but we’ve got developments…First – Jon: TLC Network execs are going to BLUR as many labels as they can on Jon (mostly Ed Hardy) - so he can't make any side cash - they're saying "we want to send a clear message to him". I don't think he's worthy of a new show. (perhaps they should blur his face too)

TWILIGHT CONVENTION!

Close your eyes...picture a dark ballroom, dimly lit with candles and classical music faintly playing in the background. Now picture opening your eyes and seeing FANGS, EVERYWHERE. It's the Twilight convention!! Coming to Vancouver (which ps is good cuz it's super rainy there and dark, vamps like that) - May 14-16, 2010. The Vampire Ball, Vampire Makeovers, meet some of the cast -- !!!!!

THE BIGGEST LOSER SEASON 8!

If you LOVE The Biggest Loser or you've made the move to live a healthier life and want a little free weekly therapy - you'll be VERY happy for Season 8, starting Sept.15th.

SHE’S TINY, SHE’S CANADIAN…SHE’S JUDGIN!

Let’s get back on the American Idol who will be a judge train – I need you to guess. She’s TINY, she’s CANADIAN…Shania Twain! According to People magazine, she’s is in talks to appear at the Chicago auditions August 30th and 31st. They are REALLY auditioning these ladies. Now, on the Paula front, talks have intensified, she doesn’t want to change her asking price of $10 million, so now they’re trying to come up with a creative way to keep her…one possible solution is to limit her to the live shows only, that way, Fox’s original offer could stand, but Paula wouldn’t have to work or travel as much.

IN STORES/ON DVD

Hannah Montana the Movie, Gossip Girl Season 2 and The Simpson’s Season 12, The Last House on the Left, Dexter: The Third Season, Dirty Sexy Money: The Complete and Final Second Season.

PAULA HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!

Paula posted on her Twitter page, "With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to Idol. I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1 become an international phenomenon. What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me. It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month." According to her publicist, Abdul's tweet is the official statement on the issue.

Fox’s statement - "While Paula will not be continuing with us, she's a tremendous talent and we wish her the best."

What’s next for Paula? Apparently she has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows.

VMA NODS ARE IN!

BRITNEY SPEARS, BEYONCE, EMINEM, LADY GAGA and KANYE WEST will all compete for the coveted Video of the Year trophy at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Britney's "Womanizer," Beyonce's "Single Ladies," Eminem's "We Made You," Kanye's "Love Lockdown" and Gaga's "Poker Face" are the clips that have been nominated for the top award.

Britney won the Video of the Year trophy last year for "Piece of Me" -- Eminem's won it twice in the past. Beyonce has six VMAs to her name while Kanye has two, but neither of them have won Video of The Year.

Being a new artist, Lady Gaga has yet to win her first VMA. Beyonce and Lady Gaga are the leading nominees overall for this year's awards, with nine nods apiece. All of Beyonce's nods were for "Single Ladies," while Lady Gaga got hers for "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi." Britney is next with seven, while Kanye, Eminem and COLDPLAY each have four. GREEN DAY have three and JAY-Z has two.

LADY GAGA…THE AUTHOR?

We like Lady Gaga’s music – would you read a book if she wrote it? Looks like Gaga's agents are currently shopping a book proposal called Lady Like. Not a biography, but a full-color book that includes, "Lyrics, diary entries, interviews, inspirations and quotes.
