DJ AM Gives His First Interview After the Crash

We've got more details on the new interview AM did with People magazine, and it looks like it's quite the doozy. I've prayed every night for the past 10 years. There's a lot more to thank God for now. My philosophy is 'live life to the fullest,' [and] I was saved for a reason," he told the magazine. "Maybe I'm going to help someone else.

Nastia Liukin Scores Guest Role on Gossip Girl

What's better than winning Olympic gold? Being in the same room as Taylor Momsen, that's what! And Nastia Liukin will get to do just that, as she's scored a guest spot on Gossip Girl through a very fortuitous series of events.
