Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in a New York City apartment on Friday night. He was 36 years old. According to Yahoo News
Friends reportedly went to check on the celebrity DJ after not hearing from him for several days, but contacted authorities when they could not get a response after knocking on his door on Friday. Around 5:24 PM local time, authorities responded to a call at 210 Lafayette Street, following a 911 call of a “possible unconscious male.” After arriving at the residence, authorities discovered a 36-year-old white male “unconscious and unresponsive.” Paramedics also arrived on the scene and declared the male dead on arrival. Foul play is not suspected at this time and a medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
Law enforcement sources [say] when they found the body of DJ AM, a bag of crack was found around his groin area… and a glass “crack pipe” was found in his bedroom. The pill bottles were found in the kitchen.
Within the past few weeks, Goldstein, 36, split with model Hayley Wood, and the situation had left him an emotional wreck.
“She ended it, and he didn’t want it to end. The breakup hurt him. He hadn’t been in a good place lately. For the past week, he wasn’t really around, he was keeping to himself, and he was blowing people off,” says [a] source.
On Thursday, he Tweeted a lyric from Grandmaster Flash: “New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york ain’t always what it seems.”
I think we could all do well to remember the words of my husband when I told him Adam had died: “Who the fuck is ‘DJ AM’? Was that the fat one from Salt ‘n’ Pepa?” And sign of the cross… amen.
I’m sure you guys have heard about Friday’s plane crash that killed four people and left DJ AM and Travis Barker in critical condition. People says they’ve both been visited by their exes:
Mandy Moore has jetted to DJ AM’s bedside as he continues to recover from burns sustained in this weekend’s devastating plane crash. The singer hopped a flight and visited her ex-boyfriend at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., Moore’s manager confirms to PEOPLE. The 35-year-old DJ (real name: Adam Goldstein) and drummer Travis Barker, 32, remain hospitalized in critical but stable condition. The center’s director, Dr. Fred Mullins, has said that both musicians are expected to make a full recovery. The plane’s four other passengers all perished in the crash. Moore and Goldstein began dating in early 2007 (not long after his break-up with ex-fiancée Nicole Richie). They split amicably after about two months. And Moore is not the only one showing her support. Barker’s ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, also rushed to the hospital to be by his side.
I have nothing mean to say about any of this, because plane crashes and severe burns are almost never funny. Here’s hoping these two make smooth recoveries.
Shanna Moakler chucked a drink in Kim Kardashian’s face and called her a whore at Carmen Electra’s party in Malibu Sunday night. Girl fight! Girl fight! The argument apparently stemmed from emails Kim sent to Moakler’s ex-husband Travis Barker while she was modeling for his hideous clothing line “Famous Stars and Craps Straps.” Shanna claims that Kimmy wanted more from Barker than just a little “modeling work.” According to Page Six
“[Kim] was sending him text messages and e-mails… when Travis and I were working on [staying together],” Moakler [said]. “She was blatantly disrespectful. [I] wouldn’t even have gone to the party if [I] had known [Kim] was going to be there. I was going to leave, but I’m a human being. I get upset. I wasn’t drunk. She ruined my marriage and my family.”
Kardashian retaliated on Monday by strolling around in a T-shirt from Barker’s line in front of the paparazzi.
“It was in the poorest of taste,” said Moakler.
This chick right here (yes, those would be her panties) has some serious balls pushing the “bad taste” label on anybody. Look, I hate Kim Kardashian as much as the next girl, but come on. Shanna looks like she just got off the day shift at The Taint Bucket. As they say in Greece, it’s a classic case of the “είπε ο γάιδαρος τον πετεινό κεφάλα.” Loosely translated, that’s “The donkey calling the rooster a fathead.” I couldn’t find any Grecian colloquialisms that included the words “cum-stain” and “slutbag,” but I figure “donkey” and “fat-head” work pretty good here, too.
