News on Political, Economic, Law and Social Issues

DJ AM’s death wasn’t only a loss to the music industry. According to his onetime plastic surgeon and pal Dr. Frank Ryan, it was a loss to philanthropy as well.

Ryan performed an abdominoplasty and liposuction on the artist born Adam Goldstein back in 2003 after being introduced to the celebrity spinner through then-girlfriend Nicole Richie. Speaking to E! News, Ryan had nothing but praise for AM, who, as recently as two months ago, told the doctor he was “absolutely great.”

“Adam and I became friends after the surgery,” Ryan said. “One side of him the public may not be aware of is he was very philanthropic. One of the things I want to get out to the public is what a phenomenal guy he was.”

Ryan sat down with E! News to discuss the duo’s first meeting (three years and 150 pounds after AM’s gastric bypass surgery), Richie’s role in his recovery, his workaholic nature and the dangers prescription pain killers can pose to onetime substance abusers.

Did Chris Brown skin a Muppet and wear it’s fleecy, baby-blue skin to his hot Larry King Live interview? You know, Wednesday’s show where Brown gets amnesia about the whole Rihanna assault? We assume this outfit is Brown’s lame attempt to present himself as a warm-and-fuzzy, law-abiding guy, but somehow it just ups his creepiness factor.

For one thing, we’ve seen more fashionable sweaters in Mr. Rogers’ hand-me-down pile. And that Willy Wonka bow tie? Who are you kidding, Chris? First, you get in trouble with the real police, and now you’re messing with us couture cops, prancing around TV dressed like an eccentric candy maker to increase your credibility as a nondisturbing human being? FAIL!

Or maybe it’s just us. What do you think about Chris Brown’s outfit?

We’re all used to how Megan Fox works by now. She’s in a new movie (like Jennifer’s Body), lands the cover of most magazines and then says a bunch of ridiculous stuff.

All right, so let’s get to it. What is she saying today?

“Women hold the power because we have the vaginas,” she tells October’s Cosmo. “If you’re in a heterosexual relationship and you’re a female, you win.”

She also pulls the ol’ hot-actress-who-thinks-she’s-not card.

After all the big misses she’s been having at the box office (yeah, we said it), it’s about time Renée Zellweger had a near miss that worked to her benefit.

The Oscar winner is A-OK after a fender bender earlier today.

She was traveling alone (read: without Bradley Cooper) in her silver Mercedes G wagon when she was walloped by a wrong-way driver.

“Ms. Zellweger was traveling north on Camden Drive when a green Explorer made an illegal U-turn,” Lt. Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills Police Department tells E! News.

The driver was pulling out of a parking space when they attempted the turn. There were no injuries, and the cars only suffered minor damage.

“Ms. Zellweger was very professional and courteous,” Lee says. “Our officer said she was very polite.”

Robert Pattinson’s luscious locks grace the cover of France’s Premiere magazine, and he reminds us why we’re all so in love with him in the first place…just in case you all may have forgotten. A dedicated Rob fan gave us an English translation of his interview, and trust, Rob’s personality is not lost in translation.

R.Pattz says Cannes was when he realized he was finally a star. “I was in a restaurant during a break, and when I came out two hours later, 500 people were waiting for me at the exit. It was total chaos. I’m sure that if I told one of those girls ‘come, let’s go have breakfast,’ she would have been totally embarrassed and would never scream my name again.”

Uh, think again, Robby. But can’t say we don’t fall for his charming “I’m really not that cool” spiel every time.

Our fave vamp does admit, though, with all this fame he came “close to losing” it last spring. Did Kristen Stewart talk ya out of it?

Remember when it used to be a bad thing to have bunny ears in a picture?

Now, it’s suddenly chic. Madonna wore them first, and now this tiny fashionista is doing the same at a soiree in Tokyo.

The celeb’s sister joined her for the international bash and sported a pair of mouse ears herself.

Like it or not, Carrie Prejean is going to make sure Miss California pageant officials have a religious experience. And a litigious one.

The infamously ousted beauty queen runner-up has filed suit against codirectors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler, among other pageant officials, for slander, libel, public disclosure of private facts, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress and—you knew this one was coming—religious discrimination.

Let the legal smiting begin.

In her lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court this morning, Prejean claims that winning the title of Miss California 2009, and being able to compete in the Miss USA pageant, was “fulfilling a personal dream.”

Which, to hear her side of it, quickly became a nightmare.

How can Demi Moore say she hasn’t had plastic surgery? Is that even scientifically possible?
—Ellis, Secaucus, N.Y.

Sweet Lady Science, she is a strange mistress, no? Yes, Demi Moore claims in the latest issue of French Marie Claire that she has never seen the pointy end of a scalpel.

For the record, Moore is 47 and is so firm that her butt doubles as a spring mat for the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team.

So is someone maybe playing a little nip/tuck with the truth? Here’s what the experts have to say…

Ruh-roh! Gossip Girl’s Chuck is kissing a boy, which is well and good, except for…what about Blair? We’ve suffered through two years of will-they-or-won’t-they turmoil, and now that they are, could Blair be losing Chuck to the other team?

Raylene in Silver Spring, Md.: I can’t seem to find when my favorite shows are coming back this fall. Do you have this posted somewhere? Thanks!

Weezer will step in while Blink-182 takes a timeout.

Still reeling from the sudden death of pal DJ AM, the reunited alt-punk rockers, who presided over a moment of silence at their Saturday show, have canceled tonight’s concert in Saratoga, N.Y.

“Due to circumstances surrounding the unfortunate and untimely passing of our dear friend Adam ‘DJ AM Goldstein, blink-182 will not be playing tonight in Saratoga, NY at [Saratoga Performing Arts Center],” the band wrote on their MySpace page.

“Performances by Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Chester French will take place as planned along with some special surprises. We thank all of our fans for their support in this tough time.”

The news does not come as a surprise, considering the especially close ties between DJ AM and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Bassist-singer Mark Hoppus twittered his apologies this afternoon: “Saratoga, our sincerest apologies that we have to cancel tonight. We didn’t know until late this afternoon.”

DJ AM was found dead in his Tribeca apartment Friday afternoon. As for the cause, a spokeswoman for the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office told E! News today, “We have ruled nothing in and we have ruled nothing out.”
