Yup. The age of Celebrity. The public eats it up. Think of how many "celebrities" there are right now who really do nothing but keep their "careers" alive because of those photographers (and not based on any artistic talent whatsoever).

Schwa. he'd buy that for a dollar

http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/08/28/2009-08-28_adam_goldstein_aka_dj_am_found_dead_in_his_manhattan_apartment.html Celebrity spinner DJ AM was found dead inside his Manhattan apartment Friday night - a crack pipe and several pill bottles nearby, police sources said. The 36-year-old ex-boyfriend of Nicole Richie, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was discovered in bed wearing only sweatpants at his $2 million SoHo pad, sources said. "He hadn't been there long," a police source said. Investigators found a glass pipe in his bedroom and at least seven bottles of prescription drugs on his kitchen counter, including the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, sources said. A friend of Goldstein who had not heard from him knocked on his door, got no answer and called 911. Cops and FDNY workers found the body about 5:25 p.m., police said. Goldstein's death comes less than a year after he barely survived a plane crash with buddy and musical collaborator Travis Barker, the former drummer for Blink-182. Four people were killed when the plane skidded off a South Carolina runway. Goldstein suffered severe burns. "After the accident, he changed," said close pal and fellow deejay Scott Schroer, 36. "He was more humble. He cared more about people and life." But the harrowing accident changed Goldstein in other ways, too, Schroer said. "Prescription drugs? If you had been in a plane crash a year ago, I'm sure you'd have prescription drugs, too," he told a Daily News reporter. Goldstein was slated to star in a intervention-style MTV show, "Gone Too Far," helping teens break their drug addictions and talking about his own substance-abuse battles. "It makes me feel great," Goldstein said in an interview with Extra in July. "People were there for me when I asked for help, and I had no idea how to stop, so I'm there for them." In a recent interview with the AP, he talked about holding a crack pipe for the first time in years for the show. He was supposed to perform Friday night at the Rain nightclub inside The Palms in Las Vegas. Just last Sunday, Goldstein threw out the first pitch at the Mets game at Citi Field. His last Twitter message was posted three days ago. He quoted a famous verse by rapper Grandmaster Flash: "New York, New York. Big city of dreams, but everything in New York ain't always what it seems." Shocked friends gathered outside Goldstein's Lafayette St. apartment after word of his death spread. "He was one of the nicest guys I ever met -he was a teddy bear," said a pal who saw him Tuesday. "I can't believe he survived a plane crash and then this happened," said a pal who saw him Tuesday. Born in Philadelphia, Goldstein battled addiction, obesity and depression as a teenager. He landed in rehab at age 17 but returned to the California late-night rave scene and relapsed hard, doing drugs until 10 a.m. in his apartment. "I would deejay until 2 a.m., go get drugs and stay up until 10 in the morning doing drugs in my apartment," Goldstein told People in 2005. "Then I would wake up and eat like a beast. I was the only fat crackhead in L.A.," he told People in 2005. Goldstein's weight ballooned above 300 pounds, and his cocaine use continued until one night in 1997 when he shoved a .22-caliber gun into his mouth. "My whole life flashed in front of me, and I knew this was not my destiny," said Goldstein. "I started bawling my eyes out. I was like, 'God, please help me.' " After getting sober, he got gastric bypass surgery in 2003. He lost 155 pounds, dropping from a high of 324. Goldstein was engaged to Richie in 2005, but the relationship was rocky and they called off the wedding. Goldstein subsequently dated a number of starlets, including actress Mandy Moore and model Jessica Stam. A slew of celebrities reacted to Goldstein's sudden death on Twitter. "I'm stunned. Rest in peace Adam," singer-songwriter Josh Groban posted. "I'm sorry to loved ones," musician and video director Pete Wentz wrote. "So unexpected." Singer John Mayer wrote: "We're supposed to lose our friends to time, at an age when we're ready to agree to the terms of having lived a long life. Not now." kburke@nydailynews.com

Exactly. The late game on Saturday is always a beaut

I really have no expectations for the Leafs this year. Sure, it'll be interesting to see a bunch of new players on the ice, and see a different style of game (albeit spent heavily in the penalty box i'm sure) but I sure as hell am not placing their broadcasts as number one priorities in my tv viewing schedule. I refuse to pay to watch this team on TV. I don't pay for LeafsTV and probably won't even have Sportsnet this year. HNIC, sure we'll be watching in glorious HD off air from an antennae for FREE. No fucking way i would pay to see them in the ACC. A comp ticket comes my way? Sure, I'll go I'll be having more fun watching the sport being played by 7 year olds a couple of times a week, and playing personally in a men's league. Good luck Leafs ... you need it.
