There's a word for David Cross and it is "class."

The Arrested Development star reportedly claims he did a line of cocaine at the White House Correspondents Dinner, while President Obama was just a few tables away. That's real nice. He made admission/boast as part of a stand-up routine, so maybe he was joking. We doubt it.

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.

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.

Cameron Douglas, the troubled son of actor Michael, has been moved to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.

The 30-year-old was under house arrest at his mother Diandra Douglas's Manhattan penthouse. But he was moved after his girlfriend, Kelly Sott, allegedly brought over an electric toothbrush stuffed with heroin in the battery holder.

Sott claimed she did not know about the drug stash. She is by coincidence being detained at Metropolitan too.

Michael Jackson's dermatologist has been served a subpoena seeking additional medical records by a Los Angeles coroner's official.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter visited the Beverly Hills office of Arnold Klein on Tuesday.

It is the second time coroner's investigators have served Klein a subpoena, said Craig Harvey, the coroner's chief of operations.

The Coroner’s officials want to find out if drugs caused Jackson's death.

What’s cookin’, Coolio?

Apparently some crack rock.

The rapper, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., was arrested at LAX on Friday for drug possession.

He was allegedly found with crack cocaine while going through security on his way to catching a flight to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was scheduled to perform with Tone Loc (yeah “Funky Cold Medina”!) and Shock G of Digital Underground. If you care to remember, Shock G was the one “who put the satin on your panties.”

They say confession is good for the soul. If that's the case, then Blake Fielder-Civil's soul should be doing really well right now.

Fielder-Civil gave an exclusive interview to a British mag in which he admits that he got soon-to-be ex-wife Amy Winehouse hooked on hard drugs and cutting and that he feels guilty about it.

Joaquin Phoenix has already said, uh, "Bye! Good" to his film career, but is he also waving farewell to the wagon?

Bijou Phillips and boyfriend Danny Masterson (in the far back, over Bijou’s left shoulder) leave the Van Nuys police station after visiting Bijou’s half sister Mackenzie Phillips who was arrested on drugs charges Wednesday morning after she was found in possession of what was allegedly cocaine and heroin while passing through security at LAX.

Mackenzie needs help so she really can take it One Day at a Time. What? Too soon?

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
