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.

We feel so badly for Winona Ryder.

Once she was one of the biggest starlet’s in Hollywood; engaged to Johnny Depp, nominated for Oscars, starring in classics like Heathers and Reality Bites. Now, she’s faded into relative obscurity following her 2001 shoplifting trial and conviction.

The tragic downward spiral continues.

On Wednesday, we heard that Winona, 37, had been rushed to a London hospital after collapsing on a British Airlines plane but no one knew why.

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!
