Will You Be Tuning In to Watch DJ AM's Gone Too Far Tonight?

Molly — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:00:42 PDT

DJ AM's final project, his documentary series Gone Too Far premieres tonight on MTV. There was some debate over whether MTV should air the show after DJ AM's death over the Summer, but at the blessing of his family the eight part series will go on. Buzz has a heart wrenching preview of what we can expect as we see Adam help young drug addicts, which ultimately in part led him back down a path to his own accidental drug overdose. MTV has always tried to make a name for itself airing edgy and real life shows, but this one seems like it will be particularly difficult to watch considering the grave outcome. So tell us, will you be tuning in to watch DJ AM's Gone to Far tonight?

TV Tonight: DJ AM's Gone Too Far

BuzzSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:30:14 PDT

After the surprising death of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein), no one was sure what would happen to Gone Too Far, his MTV documentary about addiction. Would it be wrong to air it, since it was discovered that he was abusing drugs? Or is it a cautionary tale that could encourage others to seek treatment? Your feelings were mixed, although a small majority of you thought the network should continue on with the program. After receiving the blessing of his family, MTV finally premieres the eight-episode series tonight.

The show follows AM as he stages interventions with friends and relatives of young twenty-somethings using heroin and other drugs. It's a tough topic to cover - especially given the surrounding circumstances - but judging by the trailer, it looks like MTV handles it with the appropriate respect. The footage actually gave me a few goosebumps - it's eerie to see Goldstein helping others overcome the problems that led to his own demise.

Will you watch? It airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT, but until then check out the video for the trailer when you

Should MTV Air DJ AM's Reality Show?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 07:30:00 PDT

On Friday I was sad to hear the news of DJ AM's tragic passing. As the aftermath and details of his death continue to make headlines, the fate of his reality series is still up in the air. Gone Too Far was set to start airing on MTV in early October, following AM as he stages interventions for friends and loved ones of young adults with drug problems - check out the clip below where he talks about the inspiration for the show. His death has already been linked to drug use and abuse, so I wouldn't be surprised if MTV pulls the plug on the show entirely. What do you think - should the network still air the existing footage of DJ AM's reality show?

Researchers Call For a Tax on Sugar

Jenny Sugar — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:37:19 PST

According to researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, sugar is as dangerous as alcohol and tobacco. And just like other legal vices, they think regulators should put restrictions on its sale and availability by taxing any processed foods that have added sugar, including soda, some juices, chocolate milk, and sugared cereal, as well as proposing age limits when it comes to buying sugary foods.

In an article published today in the journal Nature, UCSF doctors feel the rise in obesity, diabetes, and other diseases has gone too far, and it's time for the government to get involved. The research team also feels sugar should be removed from the FDA's Generally Regarded as Safe list.

The idea of restricting sugar isn't a new thing. The debate on issuing a soda tax has been discussed for years, as well as limiting sugary foods when it comes to food stamp programs and availability of chocolate milk and sodas in schools. But a tax on sugar in general? Not everyone is in agreement. Since there's no evidence that such health issues as obesity and diabetes are caused by a single food or nutrient, some nutritionists don't believe taxing sugar will even be effective. Instead of focusing solely on sugar, cofounder of the Yale Prevention Center says, "The focus should be on the overall nutritional quality of foods, not just one nutrient." What do you think?

The Vampire Diaries "The Ties That Bind": The Good, The Bad, and The Bloody

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:56:35 PST

It's a family reunion for Bonnie and her estranged mother on this week's The Vampire Diaries, but their meeting is less than magic (I'm sorry, I had to). They need her to open up one of Klaus's sealed coffins, but like most things on this show, they have to get through a bit of sticky business first. Meanwhile, Tyler recruits someone to help free him of his sire bond to Klaus so he can be with Caroline again, and Elena gets something off of her chest.

Even though there were no hot makeouts this week and not much major happened, it's still another entertaining episode with a lot going on. Ready to discuss? To get to the good, the bad, and the bloody, just keep reading.

Viggo Mortensen Talks Working With Kristen Stewart in On the Road

Allie Merriam — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:45:23 PST

Viggo Mortensen is currently in Spain starring in a production of Purgatorio, but his A Dangerous Method just opened here in the US to quite good reviews. We had a chance to ask Viggo about tackling the role of Sigmund Freud opposite Michael Fassbender and Keira Knightley. He also gave us some random tidbits about his life like his favorite books and holiday dishes, and even spoke about working with Kristen Stewart in their upcoming On the Road. Viggo kindly cleared up any confusion movie-goers might have about the adaptation of Jack Kerouac's classic book and his 2009 movie with Charlize Theron called simply The Road. He said:

BuzzSugar: One of your next films coming out is On the Road. How was it filming that movie with Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, and Tom Sturridge?
Viggo Mortensen: Of the three actors you mention, I only worked with Kristen Stewart, who did a great job with her character from what I could see. Walter Salles, the director, has a light touch and is very kind, extremely intelligent, and very helpful with the actors. Great crew on that shoot. The images I have seen are strikingly beautiful; they really capture post-WW2 USA landscapes, people.

Buzz: As for A Dangerous Method, what did you think when you first saw yourself dressed up as Sigmund Freud?
VM: I thought: "Yes, this might work; looks right so far. Now I have to find the character's voice, his tone."

Buzz: What's on tap for you at the end of 2011?
VM: I am finishing the run of the Ariel Dorfman play Purgatorio, which I am acting in at the Matadero theatre in Madrid, Spain. Been a tough but rewarding challenge after more than 20 years not doing a play. Tough subject, difficult script to memorize and present. Has gone well - full houses and good reviews - but will be glad to relax with friends and family a bit after we finish just before the holidays.

To see what Viggo had to say about his holiday plans and what he does in his spare time, just

read more. Buzz: Are there any holiday dishes you're especially excited to have? VM: Buckwheat pancakes with fried eggs on top. Buzz: What do you like to do best when not making movies? VM: Watch other movies. Buzz: Do you have a favorite book? VM: No, not just one. Too many to mention. For those who do not know his work, I recommend Roberto Bolaño's novels. Been reading him lately. And Noam Chomsky's updated version of his landmark publication 9/11. Buzz: Having also starred in The Road, how would you describe the difference between that film and On the Road to your fans? VM: If you know the books, the only things that they have in common is the word "road" in their titles, the view of a few US roads onscreen, a little suffering, and a little joy to be had from the two journeys . . . The Road has a minimum of characters and barely any dialogue, while On the Road is full of memorable characters who will not or cannot shut up. Different as the two stories are, both books contain gems of concentrated poetic description, uniquely haunting passages that will likely stay with the reader for a long time.
