DJ AM's Show Will Go On

As we mentioned, DJ AM/Adam Goldstein's reality series, Gone Too Far, will air on MTV even though the deejay died of an overdose last month. The show's premiere will air on October 12th (10 p.m.) and aims to help struggling addicts. His family gave full consent to the network, telling them, "Adam felt strongly that by doing this series he could help other addicts who were at a crisis point to get sober. Adam was fully aware that if it were not for his own sobriety he never would have achieved the level of success and happiness he had found. Helping people in their recovery was a huge part of Adam’s life..."

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.
