DJ AM

According to the New York City Medical Examiner, DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) died accidentally of “acute intoxication” after consuming a mixture of cocaine, painkillers, sleeping pills and mood-alterers like OxyContin, Vicodin, Benadryl, Xanax, Ativan and Klonopin.

Wow, that’s a toxic combination. How do you take all that by accident?!

It was previous thought that Adam might have committing suicide after being found dead on Aug. 28th.

Before DJ AM’s tragic death, he worked on a drug-intervention show with MTV called Gone Too Far. There was enough footage for eight episodes, but it was unclear if the series would get the go-ahead after his death.

Yesterday afternoon, family and friends gathered at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in West Los Angeles for a private funeral service honoring the celebrity DJ otherwise known as Adam Goldstein.

Goldstein, 36, was found dead in his New York apartment last Friday of a suspected drug overdose.

Travis Barker and actor Scott Caan were among those spotted in attendance at the private ceremony.

Adam Goldstein, 36, aka DJ AM, was found dead in his New York home on Friday. The cause of death was allegedly a drug overdose, according to early reports.

Goldstein, along with Travis Barker, survived a horrific plane crash less than a year ago. He was a drug addict who had been clean for almost a decade before his death.

In a complicated web of company ownership, a high flyer's legal problems could throw a wrench into a lawsuit involving Travis Barker, Adam DJ AM Goldstein and the estate of Travis's late assistant Chris Baker who died in the crash of their chartered Learjet.

The financier, Danny Pang, is out of jail on a $1 million bond, and his investment firms are currently under investigation.

DJ AM is seeking $20 million in damages following the September plane crash that took killed four others on board.

He is seeking $10 million for medical expenses, lost earnings, profits and economic damages and $10 million for non-economic losses, such as mental and physical pain from the plane’s manufacturer, Learjet, the charter company, Goodyear tire and the estates of the pilots for the plane crash in South Carolina last year.

Travis Barker, who also survived the crash, is also suing.

Mandy Moore is engaged to singer Ryan Adams.

Moore, 24, and Adams, 34, have dated off-and-on since March 2008 and broke up over the summer because of Ryan’s “allergy to the paparazzi.”

Moore has previously dated DJ AM, tennis star Andy Roddick, and actors Zach Braff and Wilmer Valderrama (who, he says, popped her cherry).
Not details yet on where or when the wedding will be.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Yay them for making it work.

DJ AM has joined his friend Travis Barker and filed a lawsuit Tuesday following September’s deadly plane crash, which left him and Barker severely burned and killed four others.

After a trying and turbulent following the tragic plane crash that killed four and left both Travis Barker and DJ AM hospitalized with extensive burns, the duo, who call themselves TRV$DJAM, will ring in New Year’s Eve 2009 with their first concert since the show they played in Columbia, South Carolina just before boarding their doomed flight.

The pair will headline New Year’s Nation’s Los Angeles New Year’s Eve Party at The Lot in West Hollywood with the performance being streamed over the Internet and broadcast at other New Year’s Nation parties across the country.

While some stars were running around with their married significant others this past Thursday, Travis Barker took the time to give thanks via his personal blog this Thanksgiving Weekend.
