DJ AM- Calls Mom, Nicole Richie Reacts To Plane Crash

trix — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 21:15:00 GMT

DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) was in a fatal plane crash last night and "was completely terrified and traumatized" from the experience. The medical staff said that he was lucky to be alive.

He was able to call his mom from the ambulance and tell her what happened. Oh my god, could you imagine getting that phone call, how terrifying.

"DJ AM suffered severe burns to his face. He is currently in a doctor-induced coma so he can "undergo skin grafts in an attempt to repair some of the extensive burn damage."

DJ AM's former fiancee, "Nicole Richie, 'is in shock, she wishes only the best for Adam and hopes he recovers from this, she's horribly upset about the people who died.'"

Joel Madden, Nicole's current partner and father of Harlow, is friends with Travis Barker, who was injured in the plane crash as well, feels terrible and hopes they recover.

Updated: Travis Barker and DJ AM in Plane Crash

Whit Honea — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:11:00 GMT

Travis Barker and DJ AM were the only two survivors from a plane crash in Columbia, South Carolina. They are in critical condition.

Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were leaving Columbia after playing a large outdoor concert Saturday night. According to CNN, "the Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport at 11:53 p.m." It was headed to Van Nuys, California.

From CNN:

"They overran the end of runway 11. They impacted the antenna array and a number of lights at the end of the runway. They went through the perimeter fence and across the roadway here," said NTSB spokeswoman Debbie Hersman, briefing reporters on Saturday. "There was a significant post-crash fire."

William Owens told WIS-TV he was driving down Highway 302 when he said he saw a fireball go across the road.

"I didn't know what I had seen -- it was maybe 800 feet in front of me, but as I approached it closer though, I made out a fire. By then I was able to see the tail of the jet and I recognized it as a jet," Owens said.

Owens told the station he tried to get to the wreckage.

"It's in flames and the fuel is running across the road and I had to cross the fuel to get to the two guys that seemed to have been dumped on the highway," Owens said.

Owens told WIS-TV the two men were running around and pulling off clothing to put out the flames. He said he asked them if anyone else was on board the plane and they said four people were with them.

"We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," Owens said.

The four other people on the plane were pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, co-pilot James Bland, 52, Chris Baker, 29, and Charles Still, 25, all from California.

Travis Barker has been the subject of various rumors over the past couple of years regarding his alleged death. He and Goldstein are listed in critical condition with severe burns.

Travis Barker has two children.

John Travolta Kisses the Hell Out of Some Kirk Douglas

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:33:00 GMT

A couple of things come to mind when I look at this picture of John Travolta putting some man-love on Kirk Douglas. First, my heart goes out to Mr. Douglas. He looks like he may very well have a heart attack, which is to be expected. It's not every day that a big ol' star like John Travolta comes all the way out of the closet to plant a wet one. Normally he just sticks his wigless head out, sees his shadow and goes back in for 6 more years of denial. This is big.

Then I thought, wait- maybe John Travolta is a hero! Could it be that he saw the frailness of Douglas and thought he needed some sort of assistance? It's possible that Travolta was performing mouth-to-mouth and actually saved Kirk Douglas' life or a fate worse than Travis Barker. That's huge. I think someone just earned themselves a fruitbasket.

The thing is, Travolta only knows one way to do things, and that's crazy. It could have been anything, but I'm guessing it was the limoncellos.

Weekly World News: Travis Barker Fakes Death, Then Undergoes Sex Change!

HerBadMother — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:33:00 GMT

The last few days in the world of Internet gossip have been pretty crazy. Sure, there are always crazy stories rolling around - Miley Cyrus pregnant? Who could get past Billy Ray and his shot-gun to knock her up? - but this week's stories took the cake. Travis Barker dead! Travis Barker resurrected! Travis Barker zombie seen shopping in Los Angeles!

(Take those stories together with those concerning Paris Hilton's plans to host AA meetings for drunkard elephants and Brangelina's plans to buy Ethiopa and you pretty much had a perfect storm of extreme gossip.)

Which got me thinking: what else might we have seen in the headlines this week, if the denizens of MySpace ran Associated Press?

1) Clay Aiken Marries Jake Gyllenhaal In Secret Ceremony (Reese Witherspoon Is Flower Girl!).

2) Britney Spears Drives Car Into Crowd Of Writer's Guild Strikers With Kids In Back Seat: Asks Tina Fey To Get Her A Frappuccino

3) Heidi Klum Has Back Fat!

4) FDA Says That A Pack A Day Is Good For Baby: Nicole Richie Rejoices!

5) Angelina Jolie: "I'm Really A Man (But Brad Still Loves My Ass!)"

6) Tom Cruise Wants Another Baby: Plans to Impregnate Self And Carry To Term (Katie Smiles And Nods!)

You think I make this shit up? At least one of these stories is confirmably true. And we still don't know if Travis is dead or alive, so I advise suspension of disbelief on all fronts until further notice.

The Washington Post Declares: Travis Barker is NOT Dead

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 19:55:00 GMT

**UPDATE: Whew - Travis Barker is ALIVE! But we're not so sure about Gene Simmons...

So, who are you going to believe, a billion unemployed MySpace crawlers or a respected newspaper run by a bunch of old people? Express, an online publication of The Washington Post is reporting that they have word from Dennis Dennehy, a spokesman for Barker's record company Interscope Records, regarding the rumors that Barker was found dead in his garage. And the statement? "Not true."

Also, Express suggests a visit to Shanna Moakler's MySpace page, which seems to debunk the rumors about her husband's demise.

Although once again, who believes MySpace? And, has anyone heard from Travis Barker?

Travis Barker Dead: The Hoax

Whit Honea — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:25:00 GMT

The word is everywhere, Travis Barker of the Transplants, +44, Blink 182 and "Meet the Barkers" fame was apparently found dead in his garage. Yet the internet holds no official statements or acknowledgments- either way.

While I feel that this is most likely a hoax, where are the statements from Barker? I understand that a celebrity can't go around and comment on every rumor that starts about them, but one that has this much fever should be acknowledged. It's like Paul McCartney all over again*. He shouldn't just ignore it and stay out of view. Who is he- Castro**?

In fact, while most sites tend to agree that this is not true, only one actually states it, that being the Travis Barker Wikipedia page. Sure, that's more official than... well, nothing. Anyone can add to a wiki.

So where is Barker? Is he going to let his fans know that he is okay or just let it escalate to the heights of unforgettable urban legend. If the latter is true there must be a CD or DVD tie-in coming. The press is fantastic.

UPDATED: It's not true!!

*Paul McCartney was rumored dead back in the day. The Beatles had some fun with it.

**Castro, the leader of Cuba has been rumored dead recently. Official statements came from Cuba that he was well, but they did not provide any proof that the ailing dictator still lived.

***Sorry, I bought a ton of these *'s because of the Bonds thing. I'm going to be rich!

Is Travis Barker Dead?

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:18:00 GMT

**UPDATE: The Washington Post says Travis Barker is NOT dead.

**HOWEVER: Sources are saying that this guy is dead.

According to the buzz on the internet in the last few hours, Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker was found dead in his garage. Barker and his wife Shanna Moakler, with whom he has split and reconciled several times over the last few years, have two children Landon, 4, and Alabama, almost 2. One of the postings quotes Moakler as saying "Everyone in the world has someone special who has died in their life. Maybe it hasnt happened yet but please pray for Travis and my family."

Is it true?

Barker Does Starbucks not Smokes

Whit Honea — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:49:00 GMT

Travis Barker and his kids, Alabama and Landon, stopped in Starbucks for some organic milk and a brick made from Rice Krispies. I saw this photo and thought that he had a cigarette in his mouth. I don't even know if he smokes. I was taken aback, aghast even. How in the world could he smoke with the kids in his face like that? How did he walk out of Starbucks with a cigarette in his mouth? How did Landon get service without shoes or shirt? It was going to be Britney II: Electric Bugaloo.

Then I realized that instead of hating on Travis, I should be trying to understand. He's not smoking, he's carrying the straw for Alabama's milk box. Boy, was my face red.

Nice going Mr. Barker. Hope you got yourself a little something.

Just Like Us, but with more Tattoos: Travis Barker and Landon

Whit Honea — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 22:52:00 GMT

Travis Barker and his son Landon hit the beach in Malibu with a mystery woman. I would have shown you a picture of her, but the only one I could find had penises drawn all over it by Perez Hilton. The guy is like the John Madden of celebrity gossip.

So here are Travis and his son, sans mystery woman, looking every bit as normal as the rest of us- assuming we could afford to hang out in Malibu.
