Aug 30 2009DJ AM had crack on him

First. Remember kids, crack kills.

That is the funniest thing you've written ever. And yes what a baby. oh I'm just gonna hold up in this apt. smoking crack cuz nobody likes me. Secretive. What's with none of these people having friends to intervene??? Seams like celebrity = lonely.

Did anyone see the pic of the girlfriend he was so distraught over? What a pig this girl is. I mean, come on. The Amish community has better looking girls than her. He should have just spent his time banging hot hookers instead of being so depressed over his horribly difficult life as a fucking DJ.

"Listen, I don't want to rag on the guy, but after seeing four people you know burn to a crisp as you escape death, OD-ing because some girl doesn't like you is unbelievably weak." ~ I could not agree with this more, regardless of his reasons for ODing. He had a near death experience and didn't revere his life enough to not use drugs. He survived plane crash, and instead of having an epiphany, he just turned around and spit in the face of fate by taking his life for granted. And inevitably, it all caught up to him. I'm not sure if that's karma, irony or both.

your comments usually make me smile, fish, and i am always the one thinking the people offended by your (again, usually) tastefully witty barbs are babies, but your remarks concerning dj am have gone too far. you're not even being clever. random ronald mcdonald joke? really? what is this, fifth grade?

dj am wasn't even a shitbag like lindsay lohan or paris, and you're ragging on him three times as hard. one thing that made me respect you more than perez or other douchenozzle celebrity bloggers was your tact, but even that is flying out of the window. how do you define yourself now? grow the fuck up and return to being the endearingly desperate tabloid author we all know and love.

Was it a $450,000 crack party? "There was a pile of crack this high!"

How did a mediocre DJ score a $2 million apartment?

cry more pls, #6. i'm sure you knew DJ AM, I bet you guys were best friends. you're on superficial and you want him to show special treatment when someone acts like a jackass because you think he's a good guy? really? get the sand out of the vag

yeah, i knew the half-rate trolls who have just discovered anonymity on the internet would come out of the woodwork to say something about my post. sand in the vagina? say something fucking original. what's next, telling me to get back in the kitchen? come on, if you're going to be a douchebag at least impress me. you're only embarrassing yourself.

~*cry moar*~ god your trendy internet jargon just kills my feelings. stop breaking my heart!

Jimmy crack corn

did you ever think that it was the trauma of the plane crash that sent him back over the edge but he was taking that pain and targeting it towards his breakup? That seems to make more sense. Maybe admitting the pain and distress was coming from the crash was just to hard to admit to himself.

6 should take a nice warm bubble bath to wash their giant vagina.

How sad, Rest in Peace my man!

Really? Is this a suprise to anyone?

Oh c'mon, DJ AM obviously didn't take his life very seriously if he survived a plane crash, while four other people died, and then within a year, kills himself by overdosing? If he couldn't take his life seriously then why can't the writer can't poke fun at the situation [making the ronald mcdonald reference]? If you want people to mourn your life then don't survive a plane crash and then kill yourself with drugs.

My dear (future) baby daddy,

You are RIGHT. Nothing says, "Dear Friends and Family-- I never fucking liked you." more clearly than a drug overdose after scaring the shit out of them not even 4 months ago. He could have written a suicide note in his own poop and it wouldn't have spoken as loudly as this. If he were my friend, I'd be devastated, but only because I'd feel like a fool for loving him in the first place.

Please pray for the peace of his soul. Sometimes people get tormented by weakness in the mind and flesh, and feel they cannot await the promise of a new day.

I understand drug addiction. I understand how it must have been very difficult to stop using amidst mounting circumstances. The survivors guilt, the pain of a breakup, the pressure to be entertaining and upbeat, theres no way this guy couldve done his job while going through WD's. The entertainment business is completely fueled by drug use as it makes you more socialable, fun, no inhibitions. Its probably quite difficult to survive in the spotlight when compared to all those around you who self medicate instead of dealing with lifes usual pain. But you have to come to a point where you realize that ones physical health is the most important thing in life. How many people have to die to get folks to realize the human body was not meant to be pumped full of mind altering chemicals. The brain wasnt meant for it either. At some point you have to understand this and give in to the fact that you are just not going to feel well at all for a while. That its time to undo what youve been doing to yourself. I know its hard to stop and I understand completely why people, especially in the entertainment business, start taking drugs. But you have to do the right thing, for yourself and the ones around you. Suck it up and get yourself well again. Im a recovering painkiller addict. It has really been hard and I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I messed with those things for the 2 years I did. But I know im doing what must be done. Anyone reading this who is on drugs, please conceed the fact that you are destroying yourself and its time to get well. You can do it because people prove that time and time again. The party has to end, or one day your life will.

no, fish, thats just the most stupidest thing youve ever written. maybe it was not a because of a girl but because of a trauma from the crash? ever heard of such a thing...?go any further with your jokes and youre not much farer away from perez hilton...better concentrate on bikini babes...
miau

He was weak and obviously wanted to die. Good riddance.

People who use drugs are stupid. I mean, that's what we teach our children, right? Stop making excuses for him, PTSD or not, he had 2 kids for crying out loud. Way to set an example as well as setting priorities. You know what you're doing when you stick a crack pipe in your mouth. Didn't he do a drug intervention reality show on MTV that's supposed to air later this year? Sorry, in the long run he's just another guy in the industry that kills himself with drugs. Typical.

Does anyone actually give a shit?

AM wasn't "distraught" over Mandy Moore but he kill himself over this Hayley chic? come on! stop defaming the guy. Further more Adam died doing what he love =CRACK

Jesus Christ, people. After you've survived a plane crash that burned four other people after struggling to stay off of some majorly addictive substances and, subsequently, developed post-traumatic stress disorder, then make your asshole comments. Until then, STFU.

The facts are, this dude saw the plan Obama has for us, and, upon realizing that there was NO CHECK (OMG WTFz0RZ) COMING, decided to ace himself rather than face the alternative. I know he HOPED and BELIEVED that his ill-rigged $2 mil mortgage was going to be "adjusted", but when faced with ever rising payments, just couldn't admit bankruptcy was in the future. In a way, this dude was looking out for us. Thanks, Dude, and I don't give a shit.

" I could've been molested by a clown as a child, and a week of Dr. BJ would have me high-fiving Ronald McDonald."

LMAO

Superficial at its best

Can anyone really explain why this asshat is getting so much goddamn attention? What was he famous for? I searched the page for "music" and "musician". Since neither hit - that couldn't be it.

Did it occur to any of you dipshits that maybe the crack he was smoking was laced with something lethal??? You can't trust crack dealers!!!! Wait for the toxicology report to come back before you judge. If it turns out he was smoking poisoned crack, then his death was totally not his fault and he didn't tatally waste his second chance at a good life!!

@29- i think hes famous for dating nicole richie, and nicole richie is famous for... yeah, beats the hell out of me

I'm really sick of all the bullshit coming out of the people knocking Fish's post. Yeah, it sucks that this asshole chose to take the heavily medicated easy way out because of some slag, but come on people. This guy was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to play records, which a jukebox could do a lot cheaper. Yeah, the crash was probably mentally scarring, but we all go thru shit (I've been in a war, and nobody is crying over me). How is this dickbag better? Oh, because he is basically famous for nothing. Are you assholes crying over the impoverished in America, or the victims of genocide in Rwanda? Fuck no. Just some piece of shit hipster DJay. Get your fucking priorities straight assholes! Point blank: THE FUCKER THREW HIS LIFE AWAY......NEXT!

I tatally can't type worth shit..

whtever love him or hate him the guy is dead so for that i forward my condolence ...but hey by the looks of his t-shirt he was a LOST fan...and for that amen

Where was Mary-Kate Olsen? Not with me! I'm not your alibi, baby! Explain your way out of this one rag-lady ....

This is why I love superficial, we visit this site because we LOATHE celebrities! The good ones don't get the bad rep but the ones who don't deserve their fame we viciously tear into them on the comments to release our true inner feelings about the person. Adam Goldstein was famous for one reason only! He dated Nicole Richtie and was a fat slob DJ who never was really good. He was probably fist fucking himself (cause common, who would bang the coke fiend that is Nicole?) and thought, how can I become famous? Maybe I should fuck Nicole's publicist and start DJ'ing! Cause girls would totally want me more! Why is it that rich people can't afford a good therapist to fucking help their inner problems? I DON'T GET IT!!!

where does it say that surviving an accident should make one totally change his life and lose any bad habits?

and two more questions.. was it suicide or just accident? and was he a decent dj at least? :)

#30 - Please, please go back and actually read what you wrote. Think about it a few minutes and then apologize to everyone for writing something so astonishingly stupid.

Spot on fish. Spot on.

And for those who are whining over Fish's lack-of-tears, read what 36 wrote. We're at war folks. We have kids barely out of high school watching their friends get blown up and then getting back to work.
Shoot your high horses because none of you have spent five minutes today caring about them. If you want to feel some righteous fury about something, how about Brandon McInerney pleading not guilty to shooting his 15 year old classmate in the head for being gay. Be angry at that.

Get over yourselves. DJ AM obviously didn't give a damn if anyone cared about him or not so why should you bother with it?

#32 - I LOVE YOU!! Yea, what she said!!!

"This guy was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to play records, which a jukebox could do a lot cheaper." Add that anorexic lesbian Lohan thing to the list of wastes of good oxygen.

I want to say he's a total knucklehead, but I have to wonder if the poor guy felt guilty for living when four of his friends died. I've heard of that happening before. Maybe that made it harder to quit the drugs, or maybe it brought the drugs on all on its own, who knows? I don't know how I'd feel if I went through what he went through. Maybe I'd react the same way, maybe I wouldn't. I don't know.

Now I feel bad for fucking his girlfriend, though...

Wow. I think this is your most brilliant writing yet.

@22.
I dont care if you're a woman, i'd slap the shit out of you for that.
You're so naive you probably can't tell if people in your family probably have problems. When they commit suicide over something you'll feel like a fucker for not realising there was something wrong with them.

Also, Fish, shit piles up; his childhood sucked because his father used to verbally abuse him, in rehab he was abused by the workers, so he never got off drugs and his mom kicked him out of the house. He was clean for the last 9 years, but the crash put him back on drugs, then the breakup caused him to need that little bit more, it wasn't the whole reason he overdosed.

Anyway, RIP to the guy, I cant imagine what it would be like to go through all that.

cannibalistic cultures consume meat out of their respect, don't matter if it's friend or foe. what's YOUR excuse, superficial? that you're super resentful?

Another DJ Ipod who understands that anyone can hit play, or for that matter, delete.

@ 27...LOL.
@ 32...AMEN.
and
@ 38...THANK YOU, I was thinking the SAME thing.

And lastly... Stop making excuses for him and why he used drugs. That's the problem with our society, we continually make f-cking excuses for people and their behaviors without making those people accept responsibility. Everyone goes through shit in their lives, some worse than others. And you know what? When you go through something terrible -- or "traumatic"-- you know what you gotta do? GET THE F-CK OVER IT. And get the f-ck over yourself, too. Stop whining and taking the coward's way out (e.g., using drugs). Man up and TAKE CONTROL of your life.

ya'll are pathetic in your judgements.

a good read, it was written before the crash and explains alot...

Yeah, because crack habits are magically cured by a plane crash. That makes sense.

This guy was addicted to crack back when he was 24 and has struggled with sobriety his entire life. He had a fucked-up, abusive, secretly gay father who died of AIDS while in jail. And he was sober for 8 years until he watched a bunch of his friends die in a plane crash and began suffering from PTSD and survivor's guilt. I personally can't believe he lasted as long as he did.

I myself am not too upset about a random DJ dying, but the reaction it's getting on this site is making me sick.

Fuck this guy/ Why is he even famous in the first place?

Yeah, maybe Fish's comment was a bit too much, but what kind of a fu----- idiot totally wastes away this second chance life had given him? There's this thing called "rehab" that I'm sure he'd heard of. But, of course, it was so much easier just to keep using drugs... If the plane crash wasn't a wake up call, then nothing would be. And... nothing was.

DJ AM:

1. Tried killing himself once already, failed
2. Survived a plane crash, only to sue the families of the pilots who died
3. Chose smoking crack as a priority over his kids
4. Contributed absolutely nothing to society by being a mediocre DJ, at best
5. Pissed away the money he'd made on drugs instead of helping people
6. Was offered help for his drug addiction many times but turned it down
7. Chose to start doing drugs in the first place
8. The only reason anyone knows about him at all is because of Nicole Richie (who also has contributed nothing to society)
9. Had everything to live for
10. Travis Barker is doing fine after the crash...

43 and 49. Oh yeah, we all had such wonderful childhoods. It's called sucking it up assholes. My father was abusive and I can name at least ten friends that can say the same thing. Fuck it. You anablers are making me sick. I'm out.

There is alot I want to say but I'm sticking to what my mother used to tell. "Never bad mouth the dead"

Rest Peace DJ AM

#52. Said it best.

#52. Said it best.

#52. Said it best.

Not to sound like a dick, but anybody who dies off a crack overdose that earns more than half of the population gets no sympathy from me. Crack, seriously? He totally should've gone and just paid the extra few bucks to hit the slopes. As far as anybody feeling sympathy for his drug problems goes... what don't you get off his(now deceased, rest his soul) balls and start helping the poor people who don't have a shit ton of cash that gets them access to effective medical care?

i don't know much about this guy, but i see he had good taste in tv shows. yeah swan station...!

I don't see many people having a big cry about Fish's angle on the subject.
I guess all the people that preached about you "losing a reader today!!1!" on the last DJ Am post actually made good on their threats for fear of being shafted by the mighty meat rod of logically reinforced criticism yet again.

Are they sure it was a bag of crack between his legs and not a bag...of...douche?

Please let that be his 7th floor apt. & not 7 floor apt. in SoHo. NO, I DON"T CARE. Someone like this doesn't need a 7 floor apt. in SoHo, Oh No! R.I.P, anyway.

Yes, you are right ! Drug is injurious to health. I make out how drug must have been very difficult to stop using amidst mounting circumstance.

Really? More bashing on DJ AM? Seriously, any kind of morals about drugs aside, it's still poor as fuck. It's RIP Heath Ledger, who did almost the same thing, RIP Michael Jackson, who, let's face it, was still partly responsible for his death for getting the doctor in to give him all those drugs... yet it's FU DJ AM? It's actually laughable you call yourself a writer anymore. I don't know who pissed on your bonfire lately, but it seems I'm not the only one who's bored of it.

This post was great...in fact I loved it. That's it.

Some of you are a bit delusional so lets all understand the same facts.

Unfortunately there is no way to save or help a crackhead. There never has been a way. Countless people have tried and many are playing the reformed route but in reality they all go back the the pipe. This is common fact and yes it does suck ass.

In reality most of you are trying to play the victim here. If you cared so much about crackheads you would not be on an internet blog writing anything. You would be on the streets giving crackheads food, money, attention, all that other shit. In reality you see them daily and you just drive by.

So that is why I say you are playing the victim. You have to view people for who they are. No reason to change things, people are who they are and they are who they choose to be.

A crackhead is a crackhead. An asshole is an asshole. A whore is a whore. A child molester is a child molester. A rapist is a rapist. You can not change these things they are all facts. Everyone in the world understands all of these bad character flaws and choices came from sick childhood shit or other traumatic events.

You must realize that they had a choice though. If you act like he had no choice and this was so tragic you must then also do the same with the rest of the fucked up types whose crazy obsessions came from sick events they could not handle.

So understand you might have a character flaw that needs to be addressed if you feel so much sympathy for these types. You have to learn to see things for what they are.

I don't know who this guy is, but does anyone ever really go to that wealthy dater site? I find the answer more intriguing than some dude who OD'd on crack.

It's too bad when anyone turns to crack or drugs to get away from their problems.. why do they not realize it only creates more problems and never takes the real problems away.?

someone please explain why this guy is relevant!

He deserved to die. Now he's burning in Hell with Ed McMahon and Walter Cronkite.

"Never bad mouth the dead"

ok, DJ Am is dead... GOOD!

plus: because hitler is dead, suddenly he is a good person??

#69 "someone please explain why this guy is relevant!"
Because famous people could do drugs with him and he wouldn't talk about it to the press.
And he was very good at playing a record on a record player. Well, mostly for the first thing.

30, i hope that was a joke.

anytime anyone does drugs, you assume a certain risk. end of story.

Everyone,

Listen, i know this won't be taken serious because of what site its on, but i would really appreciate if we could tone down the blasts towards DJ AM. I knew him and he was a great person who had some terrible things happen to him. No one knows why he chose to do what he did, and he made a very fatal mistake.

But this dude didn't do anything personally to any of you guys for you to mock him and his death. It makes me feel like shit to lose him as a friend right now, but it makes me feel even worse that so many people would rather mock the dead than just even not type anything. Did you really have to release this kind of garbage into the air just to get a giggle or two?

It's fucked up that this is what so many of us decide to do. A person is dead. And just because he was a celebrity, you all talk about him in a way that i wouldn't wish on anybody. He was a good guy that had some terrible demons in his closet, and you know what, they caught up to him finally and he made the biggest mistake he could. But the fact is he didn't do anything to any of you, so to mock him this horribly upon the news of his death, i don't want to believe that any of us really want to be the people we are portraying in this thread or the other one. A lot of us have lost family and friends to tragic events like this, and if we had to find out that people, for no good reason, just had the most callous things to say, im sure it would hurt terribly.

But if this is really what goes through our heads, that the anonymity of the internet makes this a safe haven to say things that we would never say in real life to a soul, its just fucked up.

Im sure this is going to fall on deaf ears, and many of you will be mocking it as well, but i just wanted to say it.

It's pollution, and it may not hurt anyone you know, but i'm telling you right now that it's hurting a lot of people you don't. Do something positive. Don't make this normal. It's not. It's fucked up.

Thanks guys

i just think it's sad that the poor guy is dead and you people need to be so cruel. he survived a plane crash - yes - and maybe a healthy person could have pulled through and gotten the right help but come on - the guy had problems his whole life. he saw four people he knew - two of them close friends burn to death. he was also on fire himself - as was his friend Travis. i don't know about you but that alone would screw me up mentally. before that the guy had a horrible time growing up because he was obese and had a father who hated him. he also strugged with a serious drug problem before and with depression. i'm not defending him - drugs are wrong and yes i wish he had chosen to get help but come on - a human being is dead. show some respect if not for him, than for his family. seriously - you're being incredibly mean.

does anybody else think this is just a publicity stunt for the movie Final Destination. First he cheats death in a plane crash then dies suspiciously a few months later. Travis barker better keep looking over his shoulder, death doesn't take kindly to being made to look like a bitch.

Crackheads die. It's what they do. Get over it and move on. He knew the risks of his behavior. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Are they sure it was a bag of crack between his legs and not a bag...of...douche?

------------

That made laugh hard. Thanks.

And who gives a fuck about this guy? People die everyday, but this guy is special because (as everyone else has mentioned) he is a terrible DJ and possibly fucked (or get fucked by) Nicole Richie?

Some of you should read the comments before submitting your brainless arguments. This guy was doing drugs because he was so upset that 4 of his "friends" died? Is that why he proceeded to sue for the estates of the desceased pilots' families? Right, real fuckin' generous guy.

LMAO @ the superficial commentator 'Ronald McDonald' really...?

This only proves that fame and a fist full of bucks doesn't make you happy though.

I've the impression that already a healthy and clean mind is something to be glad about.

@81
Would the opposite be a sick and dirty mind?

Truly the saddest part of all is that he died never really knowing the secrets of the island.

What's Dr. BJ's number?

Dharma shirt ftw.

I hate to be an ass but this guy was a DJ hello!! nothing special but society has made him to be some fucking hero becasue he spun records? what happened to the days when real celebrities got props?? he was a crack addict who chose not to get the help and smoke crack! no one should miss this guy!

I hate to be an ass but this guy was a DJ hello!! nothing special but society has made him to be some fucking hero becasue he spun records? what happened to the days when real celebrities got props?? he was a crack addict who chose not to get the help and smoke crack! no one should miss this guy!

Was he snorting cocaine on a turntable?
That would rock.

Another crackhead bites the dust. Cest la vie.

The only impact this douchenozzle had on my life was the 1 minute it took to type this.

Who the fuck cares? The world now has just one less worthless crack head this fine day.

I feel sorry for this guy's friends and family, and he clearly went through a lot in the last year. But I can't bring myself to feel sorry for him because of the distress he's brought on other people by making poor decisions. I had a friend in high school who nearly died several times, but instead of clean up and get his act together, he kept using drugs, he kept breaking the law, he'd lose job after job, and when any of us tried to help he wouldn't have it. It makes me so angry seeing this guy's poor mother, or his few remaining friends, because while he pretends he's enjoying life and acting like he's invisible, we his friends are all counting down the days before he finally ODs or drives over a cliff or contracts AIDS, etc etc. I've been through so many close calls with him that I am no longer sympathetic to his cries and pleads for help, because I know it's of no use.

So... I have little sympathy for DJ AM, whoever he was. If he had problems, crack was the last thing he should have been doing. And someone said he had kids!? How sad for them, and how thoughtless of him. I agree with Fish's comments totally.

no one is saying he is special because he was a dj or slept with nicole richie. we are saying he was a human being with a family and friends and at least show THEM some respect you monkeydump jerk.

you people are disgusting. my only hope is that you're all sterile.

This teaches all of us a very valuable life lesson.
If you're looking for crack cocaine in a club, the DJ knows where to get it.

you're hilarious. when i read your blog, i literally laugh out loud (and that's saying a lot)

I guess I'm angry at druggies. Drug addiction seems like a manufactured problem to me.
Maybe people should deal with actual problems instead of manufacturing fake ones that were easily avoided.

Of course #30 was a fucking joke you idiots..
This place used to have a sense of humor.
