What happened in DJ AM's 12-step-themed public remembrance has aptly remained off-limits—with the single and rather touching exception of a memorial video of the late spinmeister compiled by friends.

The footage, which was played during the Thursday tribute, was released online yesterday and features the artist otherwise known as Adam Goldstein pretty much in his element.

AM is featured behind the turntables; with fans and friends, including girlfriend Haley Wood, former fiancée Nicole Richie, Travis Barker, Jay-Z, Will Smith, Kobe Bryant, Mark Ronson, Wilmer Valderrama and fellow scratchers Samantha Ronson and Steve Aoki; making a guest appearance on Entourage, celebrating with his sister, mother and other family members in photos that span his 36 years; showing off his prized 600-pair Nike collection; snuggling with his cat Mugsy; and finally, and most touchingly, walking arm-in-arm with his mother.

The footage ends with AM and his mom holding hands and strolling around his home, with the DJ imparting the following words of motherly wisdom:

"My mom always said you want to be happy in life, find something you love to do so much you'd do it for free, then find somebody to pay you for it."

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."

After forming an unimaginable bond over their survival of the harrowing plane crash that claimed the lives of four people last September, Travis Barker is speaking about his grief over losing his close friend, DJ AM. 

"Rest In Peace my brother, this really f---s me up," Barker tweeted earlier this evening. "I'll never forget everything we've been thru and every time i play the drums i'll think of you. U were an amazing friend/DJ/human being."

The famed drummer recently reunited with his longtime band Blink 182 and is currently on tour with the group. Blink is scheduled to take the stage in Hartford, Conn. tonight, but Travis went on to write about the difficulty of their impending show. "Don't know how i am gonna play 2night but i am for AM," read Barker's emotion-filled tweet. "My brother is gone.i love u and miss u, i'll never forget all the good times we had."

Clicking noises are never good.

You don't want to hear them in your home or in your car—and you certainly don't want to hear them on an airplane.

Transcripts of the cockpit conversations from Travis Barker and DJ AM's tragic Learjet accident in South Carolina last September have just been released and reveal that such a sound was the first indication something horrible was about to happen.

Just reading the exchange is eerie.

Notoriously on-off couple Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker always seem to be fighting about something publicly. For this round of lively and inspired debate, the pair, who share two children together, have taken it to Twitter because that's how adults solve parenting disputes in 2009.

Travis kicked off the fight by attacking a member of Shanna's family as well as calling his ex-wife a negligent and "s--tty mom."

Another chapter in the epic romance that is Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker can mean only one thing—yet another round of blog battles.

The on-again, off-again former MTV reality show couple divorced in 2004 but were spotted getting reacquainted just after the 33-year-old Blink-182 drummer's tragic plane crash in September. Now, they've called it quits yet again, Us magazine confirms.

The magazine alleges that the split followed a nasty argument regarding the October sighting of Moakler cozying up to 300 hottie Gerard Butler while Barker was still in the hospital.

"They did break up but Shanna never cheated on Travis while he was in the hospital," the former Playboy centerfold's rep tells the publication.

Despite her rep's claim that she's "tired of playing out their personal relationship in the press," Moakler lashed out on the situation on her MySpace blog.

Learjet is looking to get up, up and away from blame in the Sept. 19 plane crash that critically injured Travis Barker and DJ AM and killed four others. The company is claiming that the flight operators were really responsible for the tragedy.

"Learjet alleges that any and all conditions [of the aircraft], if any there were, were solely a result of the failure to properly maintain and service the aircraft," the company says in court papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last Friday and obtained by E! News.

Learjet was named in negligence lawsuits filed last November by Barker, who spent weeks in a hospital, and Thelma Martin Still, the mother of Barker's 25-year-old bodyguard Charles Still, who perished in the crash.
