Did Plane Crash Lead To Death For DJ AM?
Friday, November 13th, 2009
At the time of his tragic death, DJ AM was suing several companies involved in the horrific 2008 plane crash that left him badly burned. Two months after the DJ, who was born Adam Goldstein, died from an overdose of drugs, his estate has added a charge of wrongful death to the suit, claiming “the crash ultimately caused Adam Goldstein’s death.”
TMZ reports the estate is suing Clay Lacy Aviation, the travel service, Goodyear Tire, Learjet and the estates of the two pilots killed in the crash. Goldstein had kicked his drug habit a decade ago, but painful burns from the crash caused him to take prescription meds, which led him back into addiction. DJ AM also developed a fear of flying that required anti-anxiety drugs to allow him to fly for business.

Courtney’s Maids Clean Up
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
There are some bills you can get away with, but mess with the cleaning crew! Jam!Music reports rock trainwreck Courtney Love has been ordered to come clean with the maids who tidy up her crib.
Elite Maids filed suit against Love earlier this year, claiming she stiffed them for over $3,000. The case came up in court last week, and predictably, Love was a no-show. The judge ruled for the maid service by default, so Courtney’s expected to cough up the dough.
Good luck to Elite Maids—they’ll need it to get their money from the singer, who’s been whining lately that she’s broke.

Chris Brown Goes Back On Tour
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
In an effort to salvage what’s left of his career, disgraced crooner Chris Brown will be embarking on a “Fan Appreciation” tour. The AP reports the jaunt will begin in Houston Nove. 14 and play small venues.
Uh, isn’t he supposed to be in the middle of doing six months of all-day labor back in Virginia for the Rihanna beatdown? Is the court letting him out to do a tour? I certainly hope they don’t consider returning to the concert stage to be “community service,” even though a portion of the proceeds from the tour are supposed to go to charity.
Maybe someone in the justice system will note that only two months ago, Brown was sentenced to five years’ probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic violence counseling. Let him finish all that, then go back on the road.
