One Of DJ AM’s Last Photo Shoots

Posted by taylor blue on September 12, 2009 | No Comments

I have been thinking about this post all day. I was flip-flopping whether I should do it or not. I didn’t want to be disrespectful at all in posting these pictures. But since I haven’t written anything about DJ AM’s death I thought I could say some words now.

When I first heard about DJ AM and his death it reminded me of Heath Ledger. For those of you that don’t know I covered that story for weeks non-stop. It burned a permanent hole in my heart. And DJ AM’s death was running along those lines (and I ended up getting a tattoo in memory of Heath too). Almost exactly. So when I started hearing about it I shut off and couldn’t hear anymore. And that meant I wasn’t going to write about it either. I wanted to know all the facts before I went talking about it.

DJ AM to me was an inspiration. He was an amazing DJ for one. Something that I wanted to be growing up, I don’t think I would ever be as great as he was. And he conquered that plane crash (another story I know all too well).  The world has lost an amazing man, someone who was taken way before he should have been.

The photographer that did this shoot had this to say about DJ AM while he was shooting the pictures: I was totally impressed with him. He just flew from [Vegas] to LA, but was as nice as can be. We had a great shoot, but what I remember most is just how down to earth he was.  He did tell me he had almost 1,000 pairs of sneakers.

R.I.P. DJ AM you will be missed.

Supernatural Producer Kim Manners Passes Away

Posted by taylor blue on January 26, 2009 | 6 Comments

I am saddened to say that producer, Kim Manners, has passed away. He died on Sunday morning due to complications to his lung cancer.  He was very close to the Supernatural cast and crew…Eric Kripke gave this statement…

“Everyone at Supernatural is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated. Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend. He was one of the patriarchs of the family, and we miss him desperately. He gave so much to Supernatural, and everything we do on the show, now and forever, is in memory of him.”

Jim Beaver, who plays Bobby, left messages on his Facebook and MySpace saying…

“Jim is in mourning for one of the best friends and best directors he’s ever known – Kim Manners, who died last night from lung cancer.”

My thoughts are with the Manners famiy and everyone at Supernatural.
