The Gossip Gangstar is gonna rock Vegas and Atlantic City this weekend with two super fun parties!
Tonight's bash at Pure in Sin City promises to be extra special, as the person behind the turntables will be DJ A.M. - and….
After three years at Pure, tonight is his last night spinning there.
So he's gonna go out with a bang!
And, there are lots of really cool concerts and things happening in Atlantic City this weekend, the only way to celebrate properly, though, is to come out and party with Perez afterwards.
It's been months since the tragic plane crash and now, DJ A.M., one of the lucky survivors, wants to make sure he gets what he thinks he deserves.
In A.M.'s lawsuit, filed Friday against Learjet and others, he's seeking a minimum of $10 million for medical damages, lost earnings and profits.
He's also seeking another minimum of $10 million for the mental and physical pain and suffering he's resulted.
The official cause of the crash is still under investigation, but obviously the defendants involved have denied the responsibility for the fatal accident.
Currently, A.M, Travis Barker, the wife of Barker's assistant (who passed away in the crash), and the mother of Barker's bodyguard (who also passed away) have all filed wrongful death lawsuits against various corporations involved.
Let's hope this case gets over and done with quickly, so those involved can finally try to move on.
So maybe it's time for DJ A.M. to hang up his turntables and become a professional psychic!
The DJ, who miraculously survived a fatal airplane crash last year, has canceled all gigs requiring him to fly after an uncanny twist of fate.
Two weeks ago, A.M. bailed out of a flight because he had a bad feeling about it. He drove instead. The plane later crashed, killing and critically injuring passengers.
Spooky!
A.M. may understandably never board another plane again!
Update: A.M.'s publicist tells us, "He was never booked on that continental flight and in fact was perfroming in nyc that night, obviously he is terrified of flying due to what he's been through, he's human, but no he wasn't ever scheduled to be on that specific flight."
DJ AM took to his blog to clear up a yucky rumor that's floating out there regarding the airplane crash lawsuits he's filed.
Here's what he has to say:
DECEMBER 30, 2008
Hello All -
Normally I don't feel like I NEED to make a statement like this, but after I read some recently reported untruths I feel like I have to. I want to take a second to address the hurtful posts and clear up any misunderstandings any of you may have about my law suit. I would NEVER sue the deceased pilots' estates or personal holdings. I am more than grateful that I survived this horrible accident and I'd never try to take anything from those that didn't. Despite the misinterpretations of the lawsuit, this suit is against the insurance companies that insured the pilots. I'm not after Sarah's or James' personal estates nor their property. Everyone involved in this suit has suffered a great deal, and I would not do anything to make matters worse for the deceased family and friends. Daily I live with the guilt and grief of what happened that night, what I saw, who was lost and why I was spared. I have no words to express the pain that comes with knowing four people died, while I lived.
Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein
We hear AM and Travis Barker are reuniting for their first performance post-crash at LA's Wiltern Theater tonight, New Year's Eve.
You're in our thoughts AM and Travis! Enjoy the night with your friends and family!
And hopefully those that lost loved ones in that tragic plane crash are not suffering, at least not for tonight.
As we mentioned last month, plane crash survivor Travis Barker is suing the companies linked to the tragic South Carolina accident that killed two of his friends and injured him and DJ AM.
Travis is suing the plane's owners, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and an airplane maintenance company and is seeking just a bit more than $25,000 in damages.
Then, earlier this month, Otilia Villar Baker, whose husband Chris Baker died in the accident, also sued several aviation companies and the deceased pilots' estates. The suit is on her son's behalf as well.
And now it's DJ AM's turn.
The celebrity DJ just filed suit yesterday afternoon in the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
According to the suit, DJ AM claims that as the plane reached takeoff speed, the pilots became aware of one of more of the tires blowing out.
The suit states that "Rather than proceed to takeoff, they decided to abort and/or reject the takeoff in a negligent manner."
That's when the plan apparently overshot the runway and burst into flames eventually killing everyone except for Travis and AM.
DJ AM is also suing the estates of the two pilots as well as Clay Lacy Aviation, Global Exec Aviation, Inter Travel & Services Inc, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co, and Learjet.
He's suing for "pain and suffering, lost earnings, property damage, past and future medical and health-related expenses, and punitive damages."
Wonder what the judge will decide. We're hoping he sides with Travis and DJ AM (although not sure about suing the estates of the people who died).
Otilia Villar Baker - whose husband, Chris Baker, died in the September 19th North Carolina plane crash that killed 3 others and left musicians Travis Barker and DJ AM severely burned - is suing several aviation companies and the deceased pilots' estates.
The suit is on her son's behalf as well.
The lawsuit was filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging negligence and wrongful death, and seeking damages for how Chris Baker suffered before his death, loss of earnings, companionship, repayment of funeral, and other costs.
Travis sued some of the same companies - Clay Lacy Aviation, Goodyear Tire and Rubber, Bombardier Inc., Global Exec Aviation and Inter Travel & Services - last month, and while he faulted the pilots, he did not include their estates.
In response to Travis' suit, a representative of Clay Lacy said the company merely brokered the doomed flight, while a Goodyear spokesman said the suit was premature because an NTSB investigation is not yet complete. Bombardier said it does not respond to pending lawsuits.
Representatives for the other companies could not be reached for comment.
Travis Barker and DJ AM are slowly getting over the tragic plane crash that took the lives of their friends and almost killed them as well.
The pair will perform together later this month for the first time together since the accident, they just announced. They will take stage and headline the New Year's Nation's Los Angeles New Year's Eve Party at The Lot in West Hollywood.
And in a statement, Barker seems happy to be getting back to work.
Says Travis, "I'm ready to get back on stage with AM and continue to rock the house. I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of L.A."
And for those of you that can't make it, their performance will be streamed on the Internet and will also be broadcast at the other New Year's Nation parties across the country.
