Sad news hit the music industry on Friday when Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, was found dead in his New York City apartment.
AM was known for his highly publicized relationships with Mandy Moore and Nicole Richie, and for surviving a plane crash last year along with blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. He was also the mix master for many elite Hollywood and Vegas nightclubs.
According to reports, police were called to AM’s apartment and found the DJ shirtless and in sweatpants surrounded by pills and a crack pipe. AM had before said that he used crack, but had been sober for a number of years. In fact, Goldstein had just finished filming a reality television show for MTV in which he helped people kick their drug habits.
The fate of the show is in the hands of the network. Coincidentally, MTV’s sister network, VH1, is having its own reality show issues with Ryan Jenkins, who allegedly murdered his girlfriend before fleeing to Canada and then committing suicide.
VH1 has pulled future airings of Jenkins’ shows, Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3. Will MTV do the same with DJ AM’s intervention-based program? 74% of the Predicto Mobile community says yes.
“I think it would be a good tribute to him if they did,” says member “vallynandmatt.”
“He died from drug overdose … it wouldn’t be right,” says “outr5667.”
“I think it’s real sad that DJ AM passed by a drug overdose. It’s like more and more people are passing by overdoses,” says “yyns3394.”
“With the drugs found in his home, I doubt they will air the show,” says “ekrn6989.”

When it comes to celebrities, polls provide a raw insight into public opinion. These opinions are untainted by the personal vendettas of individual critics and haters or, worse, flatterers.
From polls, one can learn about controversies surrounding a number of movie or television stars and share their feedback about a number of issues. In turn, celebrities that respect the opinion of the public can take this feedback and use it as a gauge of their marketability to supplement the feedback they get from their peers and awarding committees.
Surveys may feature questions about an actor’s taste in hairstyles or fashion, public demeanor, choice of roles or endeavors, views on politics and social issues, and especially their relationships.
In an industry that relies so heavily on public opinion, comments about celebrities in polls provide the most accurate feedback.
Visit Predicto.com today to participate in fun and highly engaging celebrity polls.

 In this day and age, it’s not uncommon for an athlete’s accomplishments to be questioned. Usually the inquiries and tests revolve around performance-enhancing drugs, not the athlete’s sex.
South African Caster Semenya is the exception. After running faster, toning up and vocalizing in deeper tones, race officials questioned her changes and asked Semenya to submit to a series of gender tests to prove that she’s a female, including visiting a gynecologist.
In spite of the flap, Semenya has continued to break records this week’s world championships while her family has jumped to her defense.
Will she “pass” her gender tests when the results are revealed in a few weeks? 72% of voting Predicto Mobile community members say yes.
“A person knows what gender they are,” says “txwp9684.”
“I think I would be upset about all this if I were her,” says “LuvsaKnight.”
“[Because] she won and isn’t gorgeous she has to be a man?” asks “bluemo7.” “Of course, that’s how every thing works!”
As the controversy continues, Semenya will likely keep breaking records. Visit Predicto.com to stay in the loop.
