X17ONLINE HAS LEARNED THAT DJ AM, 36, NEE ADAM GOLDSTEIN, IS DEAD.

HIS BODY WAS FOUND IN HIS LAFAYETTE STREET APARTMENT TODAY IN NEW YORK, AND SOURCES TELL X17 HIS DEATH MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO A DRUG OVERDOSE.

His rep released the following statement: "Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein was found deceased this afternoon in his New York City apartment. The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. Out of respect for his family and loved ones, please respect their privacy at this time."

MORE DETAILS COMING.

Lauren Conrad was spotted in Hollywood yesterday, and the reality TV starlet (er, excuse me, "fashion designer") pretended to be super busy as photogs snapped away.

Anyway, setting aside my dislike for the cranky beauty, I couldn't help but notice how great her hills look! I know she'd never go to Heidi route and get fun bags, but it definitely looks like she invested in a Wonderbra!

After Brody Jenner claimed the Girls Gone Wild honcho beat up his lady love Jayde Nicole at Guys & Dolls last night, things certainly seemed to be pretty calm when we caught Joe Francis arriving at his Santa Monica office this afternoon!

As Joe made his way in to Mantra Entertainment, X17 photogs asked him if he had any comment about what happened last night and he told us, "It's cool." Joe also released the following statement to X17online:

"Jenner's public accusations that I punched and kicked his girlfriend are false, outrageous, and slanderous. In fact, they are actionable, and I plan to take legal action.

Someone shoved me from behind, then hurled a drink at me, glass and all. I turned to see who it was, and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground, with Brody Jenner ripping at my shirt. The security guards told me they saw the whole thing, and apologized to me for the trouble. They even offered me a new Guys and Dolls T-shirt.

I was talking with the General Manager for about 5 minutes when Brody Jenner came out of nowhere and cold-cocked me. This morning, I learned that Jenner was posting false statements about me online, in a desperate attempt to create some publicity for himself."

According to multiple witnesses, including the club’s head of security, Joe never punched anyone and security camera footage from Guys & Dolls confirms Joe's account of the unprovoked attack. Francis plans to take immediate legal action against Brody and he adds, "I’ve never hit a girl in my life and the accusation disgusts me. The only reason Brody Jenner and his girlfriend are making these claims is because they know they are in deep legal trouble for this second unprovoked attack on me."

Violence is never the answer folks! But who do YOU believe?

Do they EVER shut up? It's bad enough that they post 200 tweets a day about how much they love each other and going to church, but Heidi and Spencer Pratt seem to have a comment on everything these days!

Of course, Heidi did receive a lot of backlash for her Miss Universe performance (she shouldn't have been allowed onstage, she stole Britney's outfit from the 2000 VMAs, she lip synched, etc.), and Anderson was one of the many media figures who had something to say about it. We didn't think Heidi's performance was awful, but it certainly wasn't stellar, and Anderson echoed that sentiment when he said, "Don't worry Beyonce, here comes Heidi Montag...with a fresh new way to embarrass herself, take it away Heidi." After watching Heidi's performance, Anderson added, "She twittered to congratulate herself and thanked God. I don't think God had anything to do with this production. If God had time to work on this production and thats the best he could do, we're all in trouble." HA! Can someone please get Anderson an entertainment news show? He's way too snarky and funny to be doing hard news...

Anyway, Spencer felt the need to stand up and defend his wife, and he told Us Weekly, "Between health care, the CIA interrogation techniques and the economy, I think it's funny how the Silver Coyote spent four minutes discussing someone who he claims to not know exists...It's our pleasure to help out anyone whose ratings are in need. We appreciate every second people spend talking about the greatest performance in the history of television, which over a billion people saw."

Ah yes, the greatest performance in the history of television. Can someone please bring these two back to planet earth? On second thought...

Benji drove away from the DCMA store yesterday in the 100 degree heat and an even hotter car!

And dayum, the R8 certainly looks good on him!

Jessica took her pouty face to LAX yesterday, where she boarded a plane solo and got outta town.

I'd like to say she looks like that because she's sad to leave her husband and child behind, but that's pretty much a perma-scowl, like someone tapped her on the back when she was making that expression and she can never, ever change it.

Last night Jared Leto got sushi at Katsuya, and we couldn't help but notice the book he carried on the way out! Since when did the scruffy stud muffin read literature like Who's Got Your Back: The Breakthrough Program to Build Deep, Trusting Relationships That Create Success and Won't Let You Fail?

I mean, really, Jared...self help books about relationships? And to advertise it in public like that?

But that wretched mop on Lilly Allen's head? Nuh uh!

Lily graces the cover of the latest issue of Elle UK, and as much as I love her music, I have to wonder who actually got paid to style her for this shoot. Okay, so the clothes aren't that awful, but the picture below is confusing me. It's like Lily's some sort of mental patient astronaut who wants to play volleyball. Hmmm, the shoes and nail polish aren't so bad though, right?
