We were deeply saddened to learn that DJ AM (nee Adam Goldstein) was found dead in his NYC apartment last Friday, and this latest news is even more heart-wrenching.
The New York Post reports that DJ AM had been missing appointments and acting erratically in recent weeks, so naturally his West Coast manager and recovery sponsor became concerned. The two took a red-eye to NYC on Wednesday night to confront AM at his SoHo apartment the next morning, and while he was alive when they met with him on Thursday, it looks like they may have been too late.
When they showed up at his door, AM refused to see his manager but he did allow his sponsor to come in, and once inside the troubled DJ reportedly lit up a crack pipe and popped pills in front of his friend. AM then promised both his sponsor and manager that he would check himself into a rehab clinic in California after making a scheduled gig at the Palms in Las Vegas the following night.
When DJ AM missed his flight to Las Vegas on Friday and didn't return phone calls, friends brought cops to his apartment, and that's when they found him dead in his bedroom.

With six kids, Brangelina have employed a "divide and conquer" philosophy when it comes to taking day trips with the kids, frequently separating their groups into boys' and girls' outings.
But this past weekend, their sightseeing tours got even smaller - On Friday, Angelina took Shiloh to Jolie took Shiloh to Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon on the island of Corsica.
But with all these trips in and around the South of France, two very important elements have been completely absent from the fun - the twins! At one year old, are Knox and Vivienne too little to be toted around?

Madonna and Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni had dinner in Tel Aviv, Israel last night, where Madonna is in town for two concerts this week.
Livni’s spokesman Gil Messing says the two women spent over two hours at the restaurant at singer’s request, and he added that Livni “was very impressed with Madonna and found her to be a very interesting person.â€Â
Both wore short-sleeved black dresses and hugged as they exited the eatery, and Messing said that Livni and her husband plan to attend one of Madonna’s concerts this week.
Speaking of Madonna's music, the material girl also released her latest video, "Celebration," in which she gyrates and slinks around in front of the cameras in a metallic dress and Christian Louboutin boots. Check out the hotness below!

Last night Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz went to Pace for dinner, and Ash looked like she was bored to tears when we snapped the duo arriving at the restaurant. Maybe Ash wasn't in the mood to be photographed? Aww, but she looked so cute! Perhaps she was pissed because Pete borrowed her pants and eyeliner without asking...again?
Ah, there we go! But has Ashlee gone the Lindsay Lohan route with her lips?

Watch out Tiger Woods...you might have some competition coming from soccer star David Beckham's three young sons!
Yesterday Cruz, Romeo and Brooklyn got golf lessons just outside of Los Angeles in Palos Verdes, and it looks like the boys had a blast learning how to putt! So which little guy got his game on the best? Check out the video below to see!

We can't believe Ali Lohan would have gone out and gotten lip injections, so we're just going to chalk it up to the teenage starlet mimicking her older sister's trademark pout. I mean, Lilo's lips are plump simply because of her facial expressions, right?

A rather skeletal Courtney Love was spotted in NYC yesterday, and while we're glad to see her consuming some form of food, it's not nearly enough! Someone needs to get the former grunge goddess some pasta or a chicken pot pie, and quickly!
