MTV Will Air DJ AM's Addiction Documentary

MTV has decided they will air "Gone Too Far" -- the documentary series on young drug addicts that DJ AM finished just three days before he died from an accidental overdose.

The network says they got the "consent and support" of DJ AM's family before choosing to run the eight-episode series -- which features AM working with real-life drug addicts and their families to help them overcome substance abuse.

MTV released a statement from AM's family, saying:

"It is our hope through airing this show that people will get to see the side of Adam that we knew and loved, not just the celebrity DJ, but the honest and caring person who gave so much of himself to help others."


The series will premiere Monday, October 12.

DJ AM's Death -- Not a Suicide

DJ AMLaw enforcement sources directly connected with the death of DJ AM tell us that his death was the result of an accidental overdose and not a suicide -- and there is a tragic, ironic twist of fate.

Our sources say DJ AM, a recovering addict, developed a dependency to Xanax and other benzodiazepines (a group of drugs used to treat anxiety) as a direct result of the plane crash a year ago. We're told AM (aka Adam Goldstein) developed a tremendous anxiety over flying -- something he had to do frequently for his job.

We're told doctors began prescribing Xanax and other anti-anxiety medications to relieve his fear, but the benzos triggered a relapse into addiction. We're told benzos are particularly dicey for recovering addicts.

Our sources say DJ AM's relapse was "recent" -- he was not abusing for a prolonged period of time before his death.

We're also told the OD had "absolutely nothing to do with his recent breakup."

Our sources say the evidence strongly indicates cause of death will be a combination of crack cocaine and benzos.

Valentine Mouseketeer

Former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera and mousey husband Jordan Bratman spent Valentine's Day at the pop blonde's original stomping grounds -- Disneyland!

The pop princess went undercover in dark sunglasses and a hat for her trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth," but definitely didn't go unnoticed as she strolled the park flanked by an enormous bodyguard and a troop of Disney staffers.

X-tina wasn't the only superstar spending V-Day with the mouse; Mandy Moore and Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, were also getting their Matterhorn on. Awwww - love.

Star Catcher LA - Travis Barker and DJ AM

It was an action-packed night at Privilege on Sunset were our cameras were on hand to catch all the craziness that went on outside.

Travis Barker and DJ AM were in attendance, seen leaving the club together with a fairly large entourage. The former Blink 182 rocker and very talented DJ seem to have music on their mind all the time as the two passed by a famous street performer, giving him tons of credit while discussing past performers that they have seen.

With her husband leaving the club before her, we spotted Shanna Barker who was seen with former "Dancing with Stars" winner Cheryl Burke. The two very non-camera shy ladies who seemed to be having a great time together had a hard time keeping all their belongings with them.

Also out to take in the club scene Kevin Connolly, Nicky Hilton, Tracy Morgan and 90210 star Ian Ziering.

All this and more in this version of Star Catcher.
