gone too far

dj_am7

shortly before dj am’s tragic death, he was involved in a drug-intervention reality show called ‘gone too far.’ produced by mtv, the crew and dj am (real name, adam goldstein) shot enough footage for eight episodes.

although a toxicolgoy reports has not yet been released, initial findings suggest that dj am died of a drug overdose. which, of course brings into question his role as a “sober and experienced tough-love guide for troubled addicts” on the reality show. apparently mtv still plans to air the series and is in talks with the dj’s family on when to release the footage.

initial reactions to the news were certainly a mixed bag. would the show come off as hypocritical? after all, the show features dj am imploring young individuals to stay clean while he himself was suffering from addictions. the hollywood reporter says “if handled properly… [the show] could successfully impart its anti-drug message, perhaps now even more so.” maybe dj am’s death would be the harsh shock into reality that these addicts need.

lindsanity

lindsay_lohan-1-just_my_luck

you get knocked down, you get right back up! lindsay lohan’s recent on-screen escapades have been less than honorable. did you catch her straight-to-TV movie ‘labor pains‘? yeah, no one else did either.

but another chance has somehow slid across her plate, and she is in no position to turn it down. back in july, director robert rodriguez revealed some details to mtv.com about his latest project – an action flick titled ‘machete.’ “i can’t say too much about it. except that we start shooting in a couple weeks. these things come together very quickly. we’re casting right now, and the script just came out great… there are a lot of people we’re sending it to, big names — but nobody that we’ve signed yet.”

he then added, “lindsay lohan’s cool. there’s actually a cool part in the movie for her — if she takes it.” well, thanks to the world of twitter, we won’t have to wait to find out if ms. lohan joins the rodriguez parade. the lady confirmed via her twitter that she is on board, “something was made official today!!!!!!!!!! http://bit.ly/3CdGfc” (which is the link to ‘machete’s imdb webpage). so there ya have it!

lohan will be working alongside seasoned vertaern robert deniro… so she better keep herself in line lest she get booted for bad behavior. also said to be in the flick is funnyman jonah hill. ‘machete’ follows a highly skilled assassin who is hired to kill a senator when the table are turned.

the tween takeover

twilightmoviei was immediately aware of my age for the first time ever last night, & the MTV movie awards were the culprit. since when did being 23 mean you were out of the MTV generation? it was quite a sight – girls screaming, dumb jokes & hype over soon-to-be-released tweenie flicks. this display served as a distraction to how horrible the award show actually was, but that’s another topic.

obviously i didn’t tune in thinking that i would see academy award-type honorees. but wow, ashley tisdale won the breakthrough performance award for her role in highschool freaking musical? but the real standout, of course was everyone’s fave, twilight. apparently it was the best movie of 2009. which i wish i could say i was shocked, but considering MTV leaves the voting up to the crazy screaming fanatics, i think we all saw that one coming.

so, congrats twilight-ers. the purely awkward duo of robert pattinson and kristen stewart at least made for some laughs!
