DJ AM's New Show to Air on MTV, Despite Recent Death


MTV has confirmed their plans to air the late DJ AM's drug intervention show.

MTV has acquired enough footage to air about 8 episodes centered around AM's constant struggle to beat his addiction to drugs.

MTV was a little weary of airing the show originally because they feared it would send out the wrong message to fans since AM later died of a drug overdose, but after discussing the matter with AM's family they concluded that it would be a good idea to show his fans how hard it was for him to beat his addiction and how deadly drugs really can be.

No word yet on when the show will air.

What do you think of DJ AM's show? Will you watch it? Do you find it to be contradictory, or do you think it will still hold a good, strong message?

DJ AM Found Dead in NYC Apartment


Famed American DJ, DJ AM was found dead in his NYC apartment early this evening.

Cops broke into his apartment and found his body after family and friends of the late DJ filed a missing person report due to concern that grew out of not hearing from the DJ for several days.

It is still not clear what he died from, but there has been strong evidence that he died from a drug overdose.

The cops found DJ AM lying face-down on his bed, surrounded by drugs and drug paraphernalia such as a crack pipe and several pills.

DJ AM previously battled a serious drug addiction. However, the DJ has been sober for quite some time and even helped his former girlfriend, Nicole Richie, to beat her addiction to narcotics. However, a case of post traumatic stress caused by the DJ's near death incident after a serious plane crash last September toppled with a recent breakup from his girlfriend, Haley Wood may have played a role in the DJ'S drug relapse.

DJ AM was one of the greatest DJ's of my time. He will surely be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
