DJ AM's Show Will Go On

Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, had just filmed an intervention series for MTV, called "Gone Too Far," before he died of a suspected drug overdose. After debating airing the 8 episodes the network has decided in favor of it, "apparently counting on the star’s own suspected overdose on Aug. 28 to underscore the ravages of addiction more than it emphasizes the ghoulish exploitation factor of the whole enterprise." Stay classy, Viacom.

Wouldn't it be more poignant now that he's died of the things he's speaking out about?

I think this was actually a good move.


"Who is this guy?! Noone's gonna watch this thing."

"If only there were some PR magic we could work for this 'DJ AM' character."
