People is reporting that DJ AM’s death may have been more than just an overdose. It may have been intentional.
Though the official cause of death hasn’t been announced, a law enforcement official reveals that Adam had eight undigested OxyContin pills in his stomach and a ninth one in his mouth. That’s in addition to the crack and crack pipe found in his bed.
Mirrors were propped up against both the entrance door to the apartment as well as Adam’s bedroom door. In the living room, police found a Valentine’s Day card from his ex, Haley Wood (she denies that they were broken up at the time of Adam’s death) as well as several pictures of the couple.
Now, police are investigating the theory that DJ AM may have committed suicide. Either way, it sounds like Adam was in a whole lot of personal pain. I hope he’s at peace.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — can you tell which one is which? — spent some time this weekend in Japan attending the opening of Opening Ceremonies flagship store.
As Beet mentioned the other day, the Olsen twins are looking totally different. I am now more convinced than ever that this change in appearance stems from more than “Mary-Kate finally ate a sandwich.” In case you didn’t know, the large-headed, large-eared one on the right is MK.

Whitney Houston is back in fighting form. I don’t know if the Photoshop gods have been kind, but she looks amazing on the cover of October’s Ebony magazine. Are we in agreement that divorcing Bobby Brown was the best 165 pounds she ever lost?
About her trials, Houston said, ”I shed a lot of stuff, a lot of unnecessary weight in the last three or four years. I left a lot of old luggage behind, and when I did, the blessings just started pouring on me, and the light in my spirit started to lift again.”
The reviews for Whitney’s newest album (it dropped yesterday), “I Look to You” haven’t been too favorable. It’s been described as “a middling album by an artist who was once the greatest R&B singer of her generation. Where once she would have elated us with power and grace, she delivers the lyrics with a faint trace of her former authority.” Let’s hope this is just a temporary sitch as Whitney continues to rebuild her life and career.

Paula Abdul has defended her decision to leave American Idol, claiming that the motivation to move on had nothing to do with money. “I had to stand on my principle. I’m going to miss the experience of watching young talent evolve into a place where they get to take off and soar. I stand on principle where many people stand on money. I’m a hard-working artist. I’ve lasted in this business for 23 years. And you can’t do that unless you are good at what you do.”
Let’s translate: What she means to say is, “I had to stand on my principle. I’m going to miss the experience of getting high on national television. I stand on principle where many people, Kara DioGuardi for example, lay on their back. I’m a hard-drugging artist. I’ve lasted in this business for 23 years by a miracle of God. And you can’t do that unless you know where to get the best painkillers.”
Paula felt that her territory was invaded — there really was no reason to bring on a fourth judge — and she wasn’t willing to abdicate her Queen Quaalude title.
As for what’s ahead, Paula is shooting a guest role on Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva and hopes to have a slur talk show.

Remember when Brit was all crazy and pink-haired and wasn’t talking to her mom, dad, sister or brother? Those were sad days! This weekend, three generations of the Spears clan vacationed together in Miami. Mom Lynne was joined by her ex Jamie, Brit, Jamie Lynn and all the grandkids — Sean, Jayden and Maddie.
The mid-tier Spears’, Britney and Jamie Lynn, were looking good in their skimpy bikinis. They are the poster children for having children while youth is on your side.

Rumer Willis taped David Letterman last night — I’m pretty sure her appearance got bumped to tonight’s show. Here’s the thing: I cannot find any haterade within me for this girl. The tabloids love to bash Rumer for her looks and acting, but I … I dunno … I kinda like her. I think she has a very unusual look and doesn’t seem like a coked-out freak. That goes a long way with me.
I’m not thrilled with her dress, but she’s got a killer body and I think the longer hair is so much more complimentary. See? I do have the capacity to look kindly upon certain celebs. I hope I didn’t shock any of my peeps to death.
