It may have been hard for her to watch, but DJ AM's mother tells TMZ she gave her "blessing" to MTV to run the posthumous docu-drama about her son's battle with drug addiction. In a conversation with AM's mom, Andrea Gross, the grieving mother tells us she recently saw a private screening of, "Gone Too Far" and was so moved by it, she decided the show "should go on the air" without any changes.
Here's her full statement:
"We gave our blessing. We decided that it was so touching and that it should go on the air. It was a wonderful testament to the work Adam did. I only wish he were here to help so many more."
Paper work is always a bitch -- and now DJ AM's estate is correcting a minor error that accidentally made the guy out to be one hell of a real estate tycoon!
It's all over papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court last month, which stated AM's real estate property generated $3.5 million PER YEAR.
But the estate now claims they goofed a little bit -- and should've stated that the total value of his real estate property was $3.5 mil.
The estate also noted that AM had a serious debt -- $2.9 million.
But on top of his real estate, AM had another $400,000 in "personal property." So after all of the math, the value of AM's estate stands at a cool $1,000,000.
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."
TMZ has learned the New York City Medical Examiner has determined the cause of death for Adam Goldstein -- DJ AM.
The M.E. says the cause of death is "acute intoxication" due to the combined effects of cocaine, oxycodone, hydrocodone (Vicodin), Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Benadryl and Levamisole (a drug used to cut cocaine with).
The manner of death is listed as "accident (substance abuse)."
After watching the following DJ AM tribute video, Travis Barker went to his Twitter page today and wrote this message about his late friend: "This vid makes me smile from ear 2 ear and tear at the same time, miss u homie."
The video, according to the YouTube posting, was shown during the DJ AM memorial at the Palladium last week.
A memorial was held for DJ AM last night at the Palladium in Hollywood -- and a random array of stars showed up to pay their respects.
Robert Downey Jr., John Mayer, Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Scott Caan, Tom Arnold, Dr. Drew and director Jon Favreau were all seen making their way into the venue.
Also there: Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart, making their first public appearance together since their "naked" tape leaked last month.
DJ AM was about to have his own exclusive shoe put out by Nike -- but since his passing, the sneaker king has put a hold on releasing AM's kicks to the public.
We spoke to a rep for Nike, who said AM had been working with Nike for months on a limited edition line of Nike Dunks with his own logo emblazoned on them. We're told the design was complete and approved by AM, but Nike isn't releasing them yet because they are working with his family to figure out the "next step in terms of release."
AM had a well known obsession with Nike kicks -- owning around 700 pairs of 'em.
DJ AM's mother wants to be named as special administrator of his estate, so she can sell her son's house in Los Angeles.
In documents just filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Andrea Gross says AM had already hired a real estate broker to sell his house, and that her son was about to "accept an offer at the time of his death."
Andrea wants the court to allow her to finalize the sale. The two bedroom, two bathroom house -- pictured above -- is on the market for $699,000. AM's mother also wants the court to allow her to negotiate settlements of the lawsuits he filed after the 2008 airplane crash he survived along with Travis Barker.
TMZ went live with Mike Walters and Charles Latibeaudiere today to answer your questions about Michael Jackson's private burial -- and clear up the rumors surrounding DJ AM's death.
DJ AM's family is asking his fans to not spend their precious cash on flowers -- and instead donate to a couple of charities that were dear to the DJ's heart.
AM's family went to his MySpace page to issue the following statement:
"We appreciate the kind words and support for Adam over the past few days. Due to your inquiries, in lieu of flowers, AM's family would like to suggest making donations to the following charitable organizations: National MS Society, Southern California Chapter ... or Friendly House"
A rep for Friendly House -- an organization dedicated to helping women recover from alcohol and drug abuse -- told us AM "was a supporter of Friendly House and would show up at our luncheons. I am kind of glad we were even mentioned at this awful time."
