A quick reminder to set your DVR’s (before you forget) to record the second installment in DJ AM’s “Gone Too Far.”

In case you missed the first one, it’s a heart wrenching addiction documentary hosted by the late DJ AM. Ironically, filming of the show had wrapped just days before the his accidental drug overdose. His family has approved the series to run despite his death, in hopes that it’s deadly lesson will inspire others to get help for their addictions.

The second episode of “Gone Too Far” airs Monday, October 19th at 10PM PST/EST on MTV.

DJ AM’s “Gone Too Far”, a documentary about struggling with addiction, is set to air on MTV tonight, October 12th, at 10PM PST/EST.

The show was filmed before the late celebrity DJ’s death in August. After speaking with MTV his family allowed the network to go ahead with the show despite the untimely passing of their son.

On August 26th, AM, real name Adam Goldstein, told fans on his Twitter account that he had just finished filming the show. It was only three days later that his body was discovered in his Manhattan apartment, dead from a drug overdose.

I am proud of his family for making such a difficult decision. I’m sure it wasn’t easy. They probably want other young people to see that yes, it can kill you. It’s such a tragic ending for someone who had it all going for him. It is just so sad that he was actively trying to help others with their addictions but yet he ended up being consumed by his own.

Knowing the outcome of Goldstein’s life, this documentary should have an extreme impact on those watching it. I will absolutely not miss this one.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are up for an MTV Video Music Award this year with their hit, ‘Heads Will Roll’, from their album, It’s Blitz!

This is most definitely my favorite song of the 2009 and I am hoping the band gets the award that they deserve. Not only is the song amazing, the video is one you’re not likely to forget! And unless you have been living under a rock, or you simply don’t watch MTV, here’s the video for you to enjoy.

The werewolf who terrorizes and eventually massacres the crowd at a nightclub dances a little like Michael Jackson, and damn if he isn’t creepy! The whole video is a little eerie, as is the song, which is probably why I love it.

This song is SO 80s inspired, Karen O sounds a lot like Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons, (Walking in L.A, Words). Very “New Wave”.

You are supposed to be able to vote for the video HERE at MTV, but it looks like their site is wigging out, and it is pissing me off. So off with their heads! Heh. I will put an email in to them to possibly get that changed, so check back with their site and VOTE for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

Kristen Stewart won “Best Female” performance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards Sunday and had one of “those” moments onstage when she drops the award after her acceptance speech.

Oops!

Eminem got a face full of Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Bruno at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.

Bruno came floating in above the audience wearing wings and and an assless costume. He then came down, right onto Eminem, landing with his butt right in Eminem’s face. You see Eminem say “Are you serious? Are you f***ing serious?! Get the f*** off me, man.”

Then his posse jumped up and pulled Bruno off him. Forcibly. Soon after the rapper and his crew stormed out of the event.

Some think it may have been staged and that Eminem was in on it. But I’m not too sure, I can’t see Em agreeing to something like that! What do you think?

I was definitely a fan of MTV’s The Real World when it first came out and throughout the 90s.

There was nothing like it at the time and I was instantly smitten. And so my love affair with reality shows began. The Real World was ahead of its time and wasn’t afraid to be a little controversial. It set the tone for things to come.

So what has happened to the colorful pioneers of these shows?  Where are they today?

David “Puck” Rainey – The Real World: San Francisco 1994

Although he wasn’t the first “Real World” cast member to get kicked out of a house (that was David on “The Real World: Los Angeles”), the always banged-up bike messenger was certainly the most obnoxious (let’s just say we never want to hear the words “nose-picking” and “peanut butter” in the same sentence again). His treatment of his AIDS-inflicted roommate, Pedro Zamora, was reprehensible. If you missed it on TV, you can check it out in the upcoming film “Pedro,” which was produced by the same team behind “The Real World” (Bunim/Murray Productions) and written by Dustin Lance Black (who won the Academy Award for writing “Milk”). These days, Puck has settled down a bit. He got married on “Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Sexes,” has two kids, manages a motorcycle shop, and runs a custom granite business.

Dan Renzi – The Real World: Miami 1996

Aspiring model Dan Renzi was the token drama queen on “The Real World: Miami,” and was most famous for freaking out on Melissa when she opened his letter. After “The Real World” ended, he hit the reality circuit, including: “Love in the Real World (Real World Hook-Ups),” “19 Degrees of Reality,” and “MTV’s Extreme Challenge 2001.” These days Dan is an entertainment blogger. On his Website, “How Was Your Day, Dan?,” he comments on anything from Paula Abdul’s antics on “American Idol” to his trip to a Mexican nudist camp with his boyfriend. Seems Dan’s no stranger to public displays after being arrested in 2004 for indecent exposure in a male adult movie cinema.

Ruthie Alcaide – “The Real World: Hawaii” (1999)

Ruthie was the biggest hot mess in “Real World” history, constantly being dragged out of some Hawaiian bar in a drunken stupor, yet somehow you couldn’t help but root for her. Maybe it was her stint at rehab during the season that warmed our hearts. Guess those lessons stuck. These days Ruthie spends her time touring college campuses and lecturing about the perils of alcohol and her experiences on “The Real World.” She even made an alcohol awareness commercial for the Armed Forces Network.

Pam Ling and Judd Winick – “The Real World: San Francisco” (1994)

Although they were just friends on “The Real World: San Francisco,” Judd Winick and Pam Ling bonded over their hatred of Puck and their affection for Pedro Zamora. Six years after leaving the house, Judd put on a gorilla suit, proposed to Pam, and she actually said yes. They welcomed their first child in 2004. Both continue to pay tribute to their former roommate Pedro, who died of AIDS in 1994. Pam is a doctor who specializes in HIV and AIDS research, and Judd lectures on AIDS and is a successful writer and illustrator who created the award-winning graphic novel “Pedro and Me: Friendship, Loss, and What I Learned.”
