Travis Barker
News (Page 2)

What's a girl to do when the father of her two children is hospitalized and being treated for 2nd and 3rd degree burns? Go out and try to get some, of course.

Shanna Moakler's on a wild cock hunt, and man whore Gerard Butler is her prey. Ms. Moakler was photographed last night at Gerard's Shin restaurant in Hollywood looking like she was tryna flirt and get him hot and hard but Gerard doesn't look like he's feelin' her. It's her new 'do. I'm not so sure a short cut works with Shanna's face. Anyway, no wonder Travis referred to Shanna as his "EX-wife" and said she hasn't visited him in a week. In a slut's defense, poor thing isn't used to going this long without sex. Her vag was going numb and she was only trying to make it right, okay.

Travis wrote the following on his MySpace blog:

Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, Ive been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and in Georgia. The hospitals Ive been treated at are THE BEST.

Some of the rest of his entry is as follows:

Saying "thank you" to all these guys just wouldn't be enough...

I got to see AM the other day. Seeing him after he was discharged was an inspiration. I saw just how awesome the doctors' work here is, and got to see how well he is doing. I am so happy to see him doing well, and we are both so lucky and grateful that we are alive today.

Im even using some of this time to help design the summer '09 Famous line. Maxx, Jose, Bill have been awesome helping to keep the machine going. These are some seriously dedicated people, and Im lucky to call them friends.

Now Im just counting the days until I can leave. I cant wait to get home to play drums with my son, and go for bike rides with my daughter. I cant wait to see the pictures from Landon's "Jack and Sally Nightmare Before Christmas" birthday party that we had for him today. I am bummed that I couldn't be there, but thank God Ill be around to see many, many more.

Thank you everyone for your support!

After Travis' blog post, Shanna posted the following:

Adam Goldsteine, DJ AM, arrived in a limo to pay respects to Travis Barker's assistant Chris Baker, 29.More that 300 people turned out to honor Chris; and many friends shared personal memories of him at his memorial service, which lasted two hours.

Simon Rex says Chris was Travis' "right-hand man."

Chris leaves behind his wife, Otillia Villar, and 2-year-old son, Sebastian.

Goldstein, dressed in a green polo shirt, followed Villar's request that people wear green â€" Baker's favorite color â€" to honor her husband's memory.

Goldstein, who suffered burns in the crash, was released from Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Ga., last Friday. Barker, was released from the hospital Monday and is on his way back to Los Angeles on a bus.

"Travis felt so bad to have missed [the service]," said a source.

Many celebrity gossip stories are greatly exaggerated. Initial reports said Adam's face was all burnt, guess not! :) He looks great!!!! :)

R.I.P. Chris Baker.

After nine days, Travis Barker has been released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia.

Burn center spokesperson Beth Frits said,

"Travis is in good condition and was discharged this morning. He has left Augusta."

The musician, 32, was admitted in critical condition in the early hours of Sept. 20 after a Learjet 60 carrying him and five others crashed upon takeoff from the South Carolina's Columbia Metropolitan Airport, about an hour away.

Isn't this the greatest news? Jermaine Durpi said Travis would be released in two weeks. I guess he's doing better much sooner than predicted. Sending good wishes and positive energy his way. :)

That was fast!! :)

DJ AM was released from Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Ga., where he was being treated for injuries from a fatal plane crash.

His rep said,

"While he is deeply saddened by the events, he is thankful for all of the love and support he has been receiving from fans and friends worldwide. We ask that you continue respect his privacy as he rests and heals and mourns the loss of his friends."

DJ AM, 35, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, suffered serious burns in the crash shortly after midnight Sept. 19 that also injured Travis Barker, 32, and killed four others.

Barker is expected to leave the hospital in about two week, says his friend Jermaine Dupri, who visited the former Blink 182 drummer in the hospital last Sunday.

Shanna Moakler, who immediately rushed to Augusta, Ga., to be with Travis Barker just hours after a plane crash left him badly burned, has vowed not to leave her ex-husband's side.

"She's been at his bedside ever since she got there," says a source close to Moakler, 33. "She loves him and she's not going to leave him."

The source adds, "It has all been very intense. [Shanna] is very emotional but also very strong."

Moakler's two children with Barker â€" son Landon, 4, and daughter Alabama, 2 â€" are with their grandparents in California while she stays at Doctors Hospital.

Thank god for people like Shanna. It's not easy to be by your loved ones' side when they're hospitalized because of extreme sickness. The hospital becomes your new home and all you can do is hope for the best. I'm so happy hear that she's being strong for Travis. He's getting better everyday. :)

NEW DETAILS ON HOW TRAVIS AND DJ SURVIVED:

"[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane," Lieut. Josh Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department tells PEOPLE. Shumpert was one of the second responders at the scene â€" Congaree is the town outside of Columbia, S.C. â€" after the airport police arrived.

"They said they were on fire," adds Shumpert, whose patrol car's dashboard camera caught video of the fiery aftermath, "and that they tackled each other and put each other out."

"When I got there they were on the side of the road," says Shumpert. "They were pacing and in shock." "Travis was very shaken up," he says, noting that Barker was given Gatorade after he asked for some water.

According to the lieutenant, the pair weren't naked, contrary to eyewitness statements.

"Travis was wearing some kind of shorts and no shirt," says Shumpert, adding that Goldstein was wearing shorts or boxers as well. "Travis had one sock on. And a black hat on his head."

The fast reactions of the former Blink 182 drummer Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, gave them a good chance of a full recovery.

"There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for the outpouring of love and support we have received during this very difficult time. We can only ask for prayers as we heal and mourn the loss of our dear friends who we considered part of our family. Our lives will be changed forever."

I always thought Mandy Moore seemed like a sweetheart, that's why I like her ass. Well, she's flown into see DJ AM and they only dated for 2 months!!!!!

I really wonder what Nicole Richie is thinking. She probably wants to see him so bad but she doesn't want to upset Joel. What an awkward position she must be in.

Mandy Moore has jetted to DJ AM's bedside as he continues to recover from burns sustained in this weekend's devastating plane crash.

The singer hopped a flight and visited her ex-boyfriend at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., Moore's manager confirms to PEOPLE.

The 35-year-old DJ (real name: Adam Goldstein) and drummer Travis Barker, 32, remain hospitalized in critical but stable condition. The center's director, Dr. Fred Mullins, has said that both musicians are expected to make a full recovery.

Moore and Goldstein began dating in early 2007 (not long after his break-up with ex-fiancée Nicole Richie). They split amicably after about two months.

And Moore is not the only one showing her support. Barker's ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, also rushed to the hospital to be by his side.

Officials have said that the Learjet crash may have been caused by a blown tire during takeoff.

Travis Barker and DJ AM were among six people aboard a Learjet that crashed upon takeoff from a Columbia, South Carolina, airport after midnight Friday. The four others onboard were killed.

Travis and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) performed at a free Friday-night college concert with Gavin DeGraw and Jane Addiction singer Perry Farrell.

Shortly after takeoff, air-controllers saw sparks from the aircraft. The jet then hurled off the end of the runway, crashed through antennas and a fence, stopping at an embankment across a five-lane highway where it was engulfed in flames.

Barker, 32, was taken to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia, about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, as was DJ AM (real name: Adam Michael Goldstein), 35.

Dr. Fred Mullins of the Augusta, GA's Joseph Still Burn Center held a press conference this morning where he mentioned the following,

Barker was burned on his torso and lower body, while DJ AM, was burned on his arms and a portion of his head. The doctor described both as remaining in critical but stable condition and in the intensive-care unit of the hospital.

Barker, 32, and DJ Am (real name: Adam Goldstein), 35, are being treated for second- and third-degree burns.

"Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn't suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected."

As for a timeline, though he said recovery could require a year, Mullins also noted, "I would expect it would be much sooner than that."

Regarding their emotional state, he declined to discuss specifics, but said of burn victims that "45 percent of all patients have some emotional trouble."

The victims who died:
Pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif.; co-pilot
James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.;
security guard Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles;
Barker's assistant Chris Baker, 29, also of Los Angeles.

My condolences go out to the friends and family of each victim. R.I.P.

Travis and Adam seem like such nice, down to earth guys. One can only assume their assistants and pilots were also good people who were tragically taken too soon. Shanna is currently by Travis' side at the hospital. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families. They've made it this far already, wishing them a speedy recovery.

Here's Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler at The Roxy in Hollywood on Wednesday. How hawt does Travis look with a beard?

I'm luvin' Travis' facial hair! But, I am biased. I love, love, love facial hair, but only on some guys. It makes some men look so much hawter, while others look fug, or are just too hairy, their hair's too thick, too unruly, too gross. But I'm feelin' it on Travis. It makes his eyes stand out more and makes him look confident about his skillz. There's just something about his beard that convinces me if I drop my panties in front of him, he will handle biznass. I know. Strange, but true.

On July 30th at the Roxy, DJ-AM performed with Travis Barker on the drums. They did covers of Oasis, Metallica, Nancy Sinatra, and some hip hop stuff with a surprise performance by Warren G who came out with Regulate. Shanna and Travis look like they were having a good time.
