DJ AM plans to tell all.

The celebrity DJ has battled substance abuse, used gastric bypass surgery to treat obesity, dated a slew of Hollywood starlets and, of course, most recently fought for his life after that tragic plane crash.

It's no wonder he's planning on releasing his memoirs some day...

"I will definitely be writing a book," AM told us last night at Activision's DJ Hero launch at the Wiltern Theatre in L.A. "I'll work on it when I see the ending in sight. That may be a long time from now, but it will happen."

AM was on hand last night with best bud Travis Barker to open for an invite-only concert by Jay-Z and Eminem.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Usher, lovebirds Ryan Phillippe and gal-pal Abbie Cornish, Matthew McConaughey and Taraji P. Henson were among the boldfaced names hanging in the VIP area.

Even though Kim Kardashian is mocked in Eminem's new music, that didn't stop the E! reality star from having a good time. Also appearing to have a very good time? Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. A wobbly Ms. Ashlee was spotted leaving the VIP area with drink in hand and on the arms of a friend and a bodyguard. 

It wasn't until midnight that Jay-Z finally hit the stage, performing snippets of  "99 Bottles," "Swagger Like Us," and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," among others.

Eminem joined him on stage for their 2001 collaboration, "Renegade." Slim Shady then performed a solo set of five songs.
