DJ AM Report Reveals Sad Fact
DJ AM took OxyContin the night he died. Spencer Pratt takes his absurdity to new levels. And Kate Hudson wants to take over A-Rod’s apartment. All that and more in your Wednesday Gossip Roundup!
- Initial reports cited DJ AM’s death as a simple overdose, but a medical exam found eight undigested OxyContin in his stomach, which leads at least once source to say his death was suicide. A Valentine’s card from his ex-girlfriend was found near his body. TMZ, however, talked to police sources who insist it was not suicide. Still, this is sad and we don’t like it. [People and TMZ]
- Britain’s food-obsessed Harden Guide cited four of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants as a “disappointment”. Another reviewer suggested the celebrity chef “hang [his] head in shame”. [Daily Mail]
- David Beckham’s so worried that his children will be America-fied that he makes them watch BBC. Isn’t that child abuse? [The Sun]
- Rumour has it that designer Derek Lam’s company has been losing about $US1 million a month. [Page Six]
- Holy God, why? Spencer Pratt wants to legally change his name to “King Spencer Pratt.” What a prat. [Star]
- Kate Hudson and A-Rod have only been dating for five months, but she’s always at his apartment, even when he’s not there. That’s creepy and weird and sad. [MSNBC]
- Madonna’s youngin’ boyfriend Jesus Luz fancies himself a deejay, but those familiar with his musical selections say otherwise: “In his last gig at Pacha, in Buzios, guests at the club said his set list wasn’t captivating at all, and the dance floor was almost empty.” Tear. [Page Six]

@Tattertotter: No-Thank YOU!

It's been awhile so things could have changed but my one and only time as a Yank in London was marked by restaurant food so bad that appetizers at the Hard Rock Café were the best we could manage. If Brits are crashing down on Ramsay, his places must be really most sincerely bad.
@jimstoic: No kidding. I was only abusing a prescription for a while, but one at a time was enough for me.

If I were Alec, I would've tried to run as far away as possible. Those eyes will get to you, they'll haunt you, they'll... catch you.
If Mr. Beckham is so worried, why doesn't he take his three brats and the robot back to Good Old England??? Just saying!! I mean, we can do without him, I'm sure.

Oh this just makes me heart Baldwin all over again. Perhaps Bethenny cashed in her chips too soon?
I don't undertsand how eight Oxys could be anything but intentional.
@malo-ji: I would watch Dawn French read the phone book before I'd watch most of that.
David Beckham's so worried that his children will be America-fied that he makes them watch BBC. Isn't that child abuse?
No, it is not child abuse. I'd rather be watching the likes of Doctor Who, Being Human, or Merlin than Cougar Town, Everybody Hates Chris, or Melrose Place.

OK, what gives? I thought we'd all agreed that no commenter on Gawker gives a fucking goddam about that Pratt person or his wifebot. So let me say it again with all the sincerity I can muster this early in the morning: NO MORE FUCKING ITEMS ABOUT THESE TWO ATTENTION WHORES.
Thank you.

@Thomas Paladino: Peep Show & Nathan Barley make me laugh everytime.

Alec Baldwin didn't recognize them, made fun of their show, and then asked if he could meet their co-star instead. I love that jerk.

I wonder what AM's tolerance to oxycontin was. I had surgery and was chewing up 2 80mg ones at a time to get a buzz.
@Fry_Bread_Power: isn't it Creepy Flesh Colored Beard? (Thank you Joel McHale)

Are you kidding, if I were dating A-Rod, I'd always be at his apartment, too. ESPECIALLY when he wasn't there. Kate Hudson's rich but she doesn't have A-Rod money!

@SteverMan: And Top Gear rocks. So does anything with Gordon Ramsay in it, which seems to account for 60% of their programming.

Re: Beckham. Is it N. America or S. America that he is concerned about?

David Beckham's so worried that his children will be America-fied that he makes them watch BBC. Isn't that child abuse?
If it's Primeval, then no. If it's Being Human, then yes.

@richardmarxhatesmyhair: Glorious.

Spencer, King of the Prats! I like it! Will Heidi settle for being Queen or insisted on being Empress of All the Prats?
MagicEyes
Beckham should not, therefore, raise his kids in America. Beckham should take his family and leave America. How rude!
woah ho ho. did you just insult the BBC? that is a capital offence, my friend.
His formal title is Spencer, King of Prats but everyone around here calls him Ol' Fleshbeard.
@richardmarxhatesmyhair: OUCH. LOL!
I hope Baldwin informed Ramona she has the confidence of a much younger woman.
Star, Spencer Pratt, and a crown. Hello? I can generate gossip better than that! You all actually read and USED that item? Bejebus, made me throw up my morning coffee in my mouth. You can do better!

Ok:
1. Poor girlfriend of DJ AM. Is all of this really necessary? I am not reading any more b/c it is too sad.
2. I think we need to treat Spencer Pratt as a toddler. Giving him attention for bad behavior just encourages him. If we IGNORE the behavior, he will stop.
3. Kate Hudson is totally that boy-crazy friend you always make fun of. And A-Rod is gross. She could do better.
4. I will watch BBC if Beckham tells me to.
5. Lol on the Bethenny item. Good for her, she's hilarious.
6. Can you tell I am bored at work today?
