Geri Halliwell spent a fun filled day in Saint Tropez, France with her boyfriend Henry Beckwith and a group of friends on August 29, 2009. The former spice girl splashed around in the ocean before taking a stroll on the beach.

Mandy Moore, one of DJ AM’s former girlfriends, expressed her grief over losing a true friend.
“I am absolutely heartbroken,” she said in a statement to Usmagazine.com about her ex, Adam Goldstein, who was found dead in his New York City apartment on Friday at the age of 36. “For those of us lucky enough to have known him, Adam radiated a contagious exuberance for life and also personified the very definition of a true friend.”
Moore, who married rocker Ryan Adams in March, only dated the celebrity DJ for two months in 2007. Still, they had remained close, and after he was badly burned in a September plane crash, she flew to his side. They rekindled their relationship for a brief period following the accident.
“To say that he will be missed beyond words is an understatement,” she continued. “My heart goes out to his loved ones.”
Moore, 25, wasn’t the only celebrity DJ AM dated. He had a high-profile romance with Nicole Richie — who is due to give birth to her second child with beau Joel Madden — for several years beginning in 2004. They were engaged in February 2005 but split a few months later.
Richie has not yet commented on DJ AM’s death.
From TMZ:
Law enforcement sources directly connected with the death of DJ AM tell us that his death was the result of an accidental overdose and not a suicide — and there is a tragic, ironic twist of fate.
Our sources say DJ AM, a recovering addict, developed a dependency to Xanax and other benzodiazepines (a group of drugs used to treat anxiety) as a direct result of the plane crash a year ago. We’re told AM (aka Adam Goldstein) developed a tremendous anxiety over flying — something he had to do frequently for his job. We’re told doctors began prescribing Xanax and other anti-anxiety medications to relieve his fear, but the benzos triggered a relapse into addiction. We’re told benzos are particularly dicey for recovering addicts.
Our sources say DJ AM’s relapse was “recent” — he was not abusing for a prolonged period of time before his death.
We’re also told the OD had “absolutely nothing to do with his recent breakup.”
Our sources say the evidence strongly indicates cause of death will be a combination of crack cocaine and benzos.
DJ AM’s autopsy was completed Saturday afternoon, but the results are still inconclusive, TMZ.com reports.
According to the New York City Medical Examiner’s office, further tests are necessary to determine the official cause of death. Those toxicology tests could take several weeks to complete.
The autopsy came one day after the 36-year-old DJ was found dead in his NYC apartment. A crack pipe and prescription pills were also found in the apartment, according to the Associated Press.
A law enforcement official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, did not release any other information about the medication.
Crack Pipe, Prescription Pills Found in DJ AM’s Apartment
A crack pipe and prescription pills were found in DJ AM’s New York City apartment, the Associated Press reports.
A law enforcement official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, did not release any other information about the medication.
Last year, the star — who was found dead Friday at the age of 36 — revealed that he became addicted to drugs and had attempted suicide in his early 20s. He said he attended recovery meetings and has remained drug-free for about a decade.
“He was sober for 10 years, a friend told Us. “His sobriety was really important to him.”
He even began working on a new intervention-style reality show based on his experiences surviving addiction as well as surviving a tragic plane crash nearly a year ago that left four others dead.
“I have another chance,” he had said during a July interview for the MTV show, Gone Too Far. “So I have to do something better with my life this time.”
There was no evidence of foul play, and it has not yet been confirmed if DJ AM had drugs in his system when he died. The medical examiner’s office in New York City has completed the autopsy of DJ AM, according to TMZ.com, but toxicology tests — which could take several weeks to complete — are needed to determine the cause of death.
“[His] death is an incredible loss to the music community, his friends, family and his fans, and to those of us who had the privilege of working with him,” an MTV spokesperson said in a statement late Friday. “MTV was honored to support him as he helped young people battle their own addiction.”
Law enforcement sources tell us DJ AM — also known as Adam Goldstein — was found dead this afternoon in New York City.
Sources tell us he was found in his apartment at around 5:20 PM. We’re told drug paraphernalia was found at the scene.
Our sources say DJ AM had not been seen or heard from for a few days — one of his friends went to check on him, but got no response after knocking on his apartment door.
We’re told the friend called the police, who broke down the door and then found DJ AM’s body.
Back in September of 2008, DJ AM and Travis Barker survived a plane crash in South Carolina. Four people died in the crash — which was caused when the airplane aborted takeoff and then ran off the runway. DJ AM and Barker were the only survivors.
Sources tell TMZ prescription pill bottles were found by DJ AM’s body this afternoon.
We’re told his body was found at around 5 PM this afternoon at his apartment in New York City.
UPDATE 7:51 PM ET: We’re told his body has not been removed from the apartment.
