And another one bites the dust...again...

Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker have broken up for the 4325879th time.

Shanna and Travis got married in 2004. Most of you stopped caring about them in 2005. Shanna filed for divorce in 2006. They tried to make it work in 2007. Their divorce became official in 2008. They got back together again in 2009. And now we're here.

A source said they broke up last night in true trailer trash fashion. They had some stupid fight about Gerard Butler and the cops had to be called. Travis accused Shanna of sleeping with Gerard while he was in the hospital after the jet crash. Last night, Shanna claims her Twitter was hacked into and the evildoer posted that vicious, horrible rumor while Travis was recovering.

(Just for the record, it's not cheating if it's with Gerard Butler. It's your duty as a human being with a pulse!)

Shanna denies she ever cheated on Travis. She also said (through her publicist), "Shanna is tired of playing out their personal relationship in the press."

(Try not to laugh...)

Of course she will handle it like a mature adult by passing notes to Travis during detention through Twitter. That's how they're currently handling it, anyway. Travis and Shanna have been posting quotes they probably got out of a fortune cookie. Example: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”

I know, so profound.

Shanna's next post is totally going to be, "Confucious says 'Man trapped in pantry have butt in jam.'"

Blink 182 Officially Back!


I have a small space in my heart for Blink 182 - they were my first concert ever when I was 14! HaHa - now, it looks like, after many rumors, the band is officially getting back together! Pretty cool! Drummer Travis Barker survived a plane crash and lead singer Tom DeLonge went solo with his successful group Angels and Airwaves. I wonder what a Blink 182 reunion is going to do for that band? The guys released this statement:

"Hi. We're blink-182.This past week there've been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy.
Summer 2009.
Thanks and get ready…"


Oh, we're ready! Just like No Doubt, I think they'll have a successful reunion/tour as well. There are a lot of fans probably waiting to hear from these guys again!

Travis Barker, Adam Goldstein, Chris Baker's widow all sue Learjet



LEARJET bosses are defending claims that their company is responsible for the plane crash, which almost killed TRAVIS BARKER and ADAM 'DJ AM' GOLDSTEIN.

Barker, Goldstein and the widow of Barker's assistant CHRIS BAKER, who was among the four people killed in the wreckage, are all suing a string of companies involved in the accident.

But execs at Learjet insist the private jet firm should not be held accountable for the accident, which made headlines last September.

Papers filed in LA on 16 January read: "Learjet alleges that any and all conditions (of the aircraft)... were solely a result of the failure to properly maintain and service the aircraft."

They added that injuries suffered by passengers were "either excessive, exaggerated, unreasonable, speculative, inflated or otherwise unnecessary and/or unrelated to the alleged incident."

Travis and his pal DJ AM were the only two survivors of the tragedy.

They were both treated for second and third-degree burns and other injuries following the crash in South Carolina.

The BLINK 182 drummer's lawyer Walter J. Lack has hit back, telling US site People.com: "Learjet's lawyers get paid by the hour to regurgitate stock paragraphs from word processing programs in every case they're involved in. This case is no exception."

Travis Barker and DJ AM: Together Again!

Photo Credit: The Associated Press

Punk musician Travis Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM will perform together for the first time since the duo survived a fiery plane crash in South Carolina.

The former Blink-182 drummer and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, will headline New Year's Nation's Los Angeles New Year's Eve Party at The Lot in West Hollywood.

"I'm ready to get back on stage with AM and continue to rock the house," Barker said in a statement. "I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of L.A."

The performance will be streamed on the Internet and broadcast at other New Year's Nation parties across the U.S. It will mark the first concert for the pair — who go by TRVSDJAM — since they performed at a free concert for about 10,000 people in Columbia, S.C., before boarding a private plane Sept. 19 for Los Angeles that crashed and killed four people.

A Blink 182 Reunion!?


Blink 182 was the very first concert I ever saw with my friends when I was 13! They hold a special place in my heart, ha! Blink 182's Mark Hoppus has revealed that the recent death of Blink producer Jerry Finn and Travis Barker's miraculous survival of a plane crash has brought the trio back together. They broke up in 2005 and haven't spoken to each other since, it was pretty nasty! Tom DeLonge found success with a new band, Angels and Airwaves. Travis Barker did his own side thing and starred in a reality show.

Now, could they be getting back together? You have to admit, they made some catchy songs! Hoppus said on his blog, "We're just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. It's a good thing. Obviously the first question for a lot of people will be, 'Does this mean a Blink-182 reunion?' The answer is none of us know. We haven't talked about it at all. Right now it's just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect and let the past be the past."

So Brave! Travis Barker Opens Up!


Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has opened up to the press and was interviewed by Us Weekly. In the latest issue of the magazine, Barker says, "My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened ... well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all."

The musician has been in the hospital suffering from severe burns since the crash that took place on September 19th. Two pilots and two other passengers were killed, including Barker's assistant Chris Baker. Barker was released from a Georgia hospital last week and is now being treated at a burn center in Los Angeles.

"I am doing the best I can possibly be," he told the magazine, "I'm so anxious to get out of here. I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third-degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands has second-degree burns and one has third-degree burns."

Shanna Moakler Visits Barker


Shanna Moakler was seen visibly upset after visiting ex-husband, former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia yesterday. The two had a reality show on MTV together a few years back following their life and family together.

Barker is currently recovering from the plane crash involving himself and DJ AM, which reports are now saying was possibly due to a blown tire.

DJ AM is recovering from burns on 12% of his body. Singer Mandy Moore was spotted yesterday visiting AM in the hospital.

Travis Barker recovering



Travis Barker and DJ AM are expected to make full recoveries from injuries sustained in a plane crash.

The former Blink 182 drummer and the DJ - real name Adam Goldstein - have been in a critical condition with second and third degree burns after their jet crashed on take off in Columbia, South Carolina, on Friday night (19.09.08), killing the four other passengers on board.

Medics believe the two musicians will eventually recover from their injuries.

Dr. Fred Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors' Hospital in Augusta said: "Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn't suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected.

"Recovery could take up to a year, but I would expect it would be much sooner than that."

The doctor refused to discuss the musicians' emotional states, but added: "Around 45 per cent of all patients have some emotional trouble."

The doctor said Travis suffered burns to his torso and lower body, while DJ AM was burned on his arms and head. Both are in the intensive-care unit of the hospital and are reported as being critical but stable.

Pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, co-pilot James Bland, 52, Travis' assistant Chris Baker, 29, and his security guard Charles Sill, 25, all lost their lives. No one else was on board the jet.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Hours after performing for thousands of South Carolina college students, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Officials said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said.

Two other passengers -- Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles -- died, as did pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, according to the county coroner. Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician.

The plane was headed for Van Nuys, Calif. It is owned by Global Exec Aviation, a California-based charter company, and was certified to operate last year, Hersman said. The company said it had no immediate comment.

At the crash site Saturday, the air was still heavy with the odor of jet fuel. A trail of black soot led off a runway. The nose of the aircraft was gone and the roof was missing from two-thirds of the charred plane.

"It's absolutely terrible and tragic," Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.

Barker and Goldstein had performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM at a free concert in Columbia on Friday night. Event sponsor T-Mobile said their hourlong set ended at about 7:15 p.m.

The show, which included performances by former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell and singer Gavin DeGraw, drew 10,000 people into the streets of Five Points, the neighborhood near the University of South Carolina, Coble said.

Peter Kastis, Farrell's manager, said he and Farrell didn't find out about the crash until they arrived at the airport Saturday morning to find it closed.

"I just hugged them hello less than 24 hours ago. I wish I could hug them now," Kastis said.

One concertgoer said TRVSDJ-AM's performance was unique and different.

"It was literally one of the best shows I've ever seen," said Brett Flashnick, a freelance photographer who works for The Associated Press and attended the concert for a local newspaper.

Barker, 32, was one of the more colorful members of the multiplatinum-selling punk rock band Blink-182, whose biggest album was 1999's CD "Enema of the State," which sold more than five million copies in the United States alone.

After Blink-182 disbanded in 2005, Barker went on to form the rock band (+44) -- pronounced "plus forty-four." He also starred in the MTV reality series "Meet the Barkers" with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, to whom he was married at the time. The show documented the former couple's lavish wedding and life. Their later split, reconciliation and subsequent break up made them tabloid favorites.

Goldstein is a popular DJ for hire who at one time was engaged to Nicole Richie.

He spun a mix of hip-hop and dance beats for the hottest nightclubs and had a string of dates set up for the next few weeks. He reached the peak of his celebrity perhaps during his highly publicized romance with Richie a few years ago.

DJ AM also dated singer/actress Mandy Moore, and while he became a gossip favorite for his romances, he drew respect from music aficionados for his DJ skills.

Barker and Goldstein performed as part of the house band at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.

Paris Hilton & Shanna Moakler's Kiss Off

Paris Hilton and her bitter rival Shanna Moakler were locked in a kissing battle on Tuesday night (10.04.07).

The pair - who have been bitter foes ever since their infamous catfight over Shanna's husband Travis Barker last year - attended Complex Magazine's Fifth Anniversary party at Los Angeles' Area nightclub with their respective partners and were determined to appear the most "in love".

Shanna, 31, arrived holding hands with Travis, 30 - her 'Meet The Barkers' co-star - while Paris, 26, brought her new beau, 'Desperate Housewives' hunk Josh Henderson, 25.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Shanna and Travis cosied up in a booth and were all over each other.

"Paris came in with Josh, shot Shanna a look and asked to be seated as far away as possible from her.

"Both couples made-out as if they were trying to one up each other.

"Paris was so all over Josh and they were slow-dancing and making out all night."
