Travis Barker, currently of the reunited Blink 182, took his brood out for some Malibu shopping.

The girls are Alabama and Atiana and in the background is Barker's son Landon, who appears to be all Vans and mohawk at the moment.

Mates of State on the Run

Whit Honea — Sat, 23 May 2009 18:31:00 GMT

Did you know that the very awesome band Mates of State have their own blog here on Babble? It's true. They document life on the road, family style.

They just finished a pretty big adventure and everyone's favorite DJ made quite the impression.

Read all about it at Band on the Diaper Run.

Liam Gallagher Refuses To Meet Noel's Son

Josh loposer — Wed, 06 May 2009 22:01:00 GMT

If you're an old fan or you happen to live in South America, where the band is currently selling out stadiums, you're aware that Oasis is on tour. But unfortunately, it looks like things between feuding brothers Noel and Liam is as bad as ever.

It's so bad, apparently, that Liam has never even met Noel's 19-month-old son Donovan in person.

“He’s never seen my little lad, just pictures. To a stranger it sounds ludicrous, but you wouldn’t have him in the house if he spoke to you the way he speaks to me and my family.”

Crazy, right? Sure, things get pretty complicated when it comes to family feuds, but for an uncle to shut out his 19-month-old nephew just because he doesn't get along with his sibling is over the line. What a douche! Noel goes on:

“He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

Yikes, that's some pretty rough stuff. I guess I'd be pretty mad if my brother wouldn't come over a see my child. Hopefully, the band will get things sorted out before they ruin the world tour.

These guys are worse than the Spellings.

Sunday Cute Shot - A Hanson Moment

Whit Honea — Sun, 03 May 2009 15:33:00 GMT

Taylor Hanson- the middle one, and his wife and kids. Yes, Hanson is all growns up and he's all growns up.

But you knew that. Pictured with Taylor is his wife Natalie and their kids, Ezra, River, Penelope and Viggo.

Hanson has a new band called Tinted Windows. I'm guessing they won't cover Mmm Bop.

Portraits of the Artists as Young Men - Before They Were Famous

Whit Honea — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:31:00 GMT

Do you recognize the popular musical family in these pictures? Here's a hint, they're in a band and they're good.

Also, they are not the Jacksons or Osmonds.

This is a cousin. He comes into play later.

Give up?

It's the Followills, Jared, Nathan and Caleb, with their parents BettyAnn and Ivan. Together with their cousin Matthew (above) they grow up to be Kings of Leon and the rest, as they say, is history. Or current events.

It just goes to show you that it's never too early to talk to your kids about tobacco and personal hygiene.

They do rock, though.

One Less Barenaked Lady

Whit Honea — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:04:00 GMT

Steven Page, who you might recall from a recent drug-related arrest, has left the popular band Barenaked Ladies after 20 years.

Page has 3 young boys, Isaac (12), Benjamin (10) and Jonah (7). He and his wife Carolyn separated in 2007. While the past couple of years smell of downward spiral, maybe Page just thought it was time for the ladies to put some clothes on. Let's hope so.

Blink-182: Getting the Band Back Together?

Whit Honea — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:27:00 GMT

Following the tragedy that drummer and proud daddy Travis Barker recently survived there is a new hope for fans of Blink-182.

Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Tom Delonge have been talking and hanging out again.

In a recent blog entry Hoppus says, "In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom, Travis and I have all spoken together. First through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours."

Does this mean that Blink-182 will be getting back together?

"None of us know. We haven't talked about it at all...The events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. Life is too short."

Hey, it's a start.

Jonathan Davis's Boy is Korn Fed

Whit Honea — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:56:00 GMT

Jonathan Davis of the rock band Korn and his son took a little stroll together the other day, and the paparazzi were there to capture the moment for prosperity and/or cash money.

Did you see what I did there in the title with the Korn and everything? Yes, I really am this funny.

Rascal Flatts' Gary Levox Talks Family First

Karl Erikson — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:34:00 GMT

Lead singer for Rascal Flatts, Gary Levox loves his country music. But family comes before even that, says Gary, 38. He has two daughters, Brittany, 8, and Brooklyn, 4. Because his band mostly tours during weekends, he spends lots of time with his girls during the week and enjoys "taking them to school and picking them up and going to all the soccer and gymnastics practices."

Gary also takes each of his daughters out on special date nights. "Brittany got all dressed up, and we ate at a local Carrabba's, and then we saw Fly Me to the Moon in 3-D. She'll remember these dates for the rest of her life. So will I."

Rascal Flatts' latest album, "Greatest Hits Volume 1," was released in October.

Paul Stanley Gets It

Whit Honea — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:53:00 GMT

Paul Stanley gets it. Finally. The KISS frontman admits that he never knew how awesome family life could be and says he wasn't "smart enough to realize how terrific that would be.

"I think for all the amazing times I had when I was at a different point in my life, there is a depth to my life now that probably wasn’t there, and didn't need to be there then."

Paul and his wife Erin are expecting their second child together. Stanley also has a 14-year-old son from a previous relationship.

Whit Honea — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 18:12:00 GMT

"We'd like to dedicate our next song to Gordon our usual bass player. I have no doubt he'll be watching online, can we have a big hi to Gordon and his new baby Scarlet."

Those are the words of one of the guys in Bloc Party during the Reading Festival on August 23rd.

HI, GORDON AND SCARLET!

Congratulations.

Foo Fighters are Done!

Whit Honea — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:06:00 GMT

I love the Foo Fighters in a way that borders on unhealthy. I've seen them open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at The Gorge and for the Police in Dodger Stadium. I've seen them play acoustic overlooking the shores of Santa Barbara and rocking the Great Western Forum with the likes of Lemmy from Motorhead. Basically, if there is foo to be fought, I'm on it.

It's probably not healthy. Luckily for my wallet the boys in the band are hanging it up- temporarily. They are taking a break- a long one.

Dave Grohl and the the rest of the guys are all dads of really small kids and they've been touring non-stop for what must seem like forever. I get it. I don't like it, but I get it.

Here's hoping that they get the itch to return sooner rather than later. Enjoy your break, guys.

Mate of State Interviews Other Mate of State

Whit Honea — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:04:00 GMT

Mates of State are an awesome band. They've had a blog on Babble for some time now. Why? Because Mates of State are actually a couple and they are touring with their young child. I like to think they're the soundtrack to our site.

Up until recently the blogging as been somewhat one-sided. That has changed! Take a look at their blog: Band on the Diaper Run!

"Barenaked Ladies" Singer In Plane Crash!!!!!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:33:00 GMT

What's with the celebrity crashes lately? Wow! Barenaked Ladies singer Ed Robertson has been involved in a plane crash!!

The singer's float-plane crashed north of Bancroft, Ontario, Canada, on Sunday. He survived!!

Adam Smith, rep for the band said, "Everyone is fine and that is the most important thing. That's all the comment we have at this time." It's believed that Ed was the one flying the plane when it crashed.

A police rep had this to say:

"At 12:30 p.m. a Cessna 206 was taking off from Baptiste Lake, lost airspeed and entered a wooded area west of the lake"

The plane was totaled and the four adults on board walked away mostly unharmed and reported the crash. Now those are some lucky folks!

Ed Robertson is married to Natialie and is a dad to Hannah, 12, Lyle, 9, and Arden, 6. I bet his family are so grateful and relieved tonight!

Dave Grohl is a Foo Fighting Father

Whit Honea — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:59:00 GMT

Dave Grohl is the frontman for the Foo Fighters and the father of 2-year-old Violet. Which one do you think he enjoys more?

I can't say for certain, as he hasn't returned the calls I didn't make, but I'll make an educated guess based upon my having attended four (4) Foo shows and also my being a father.

I'm going to say that he and his wife Jordyn Blum would agree it's the parenting thing, but being in the best rock band around has got to be a close second.

Lenny Kravitz to Velvet Revolver: Are You Gonna Go My Way?

Whit Honea — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:04:00 GMT

I doubt Lenny Kravitz actually said that, as it would be cheesy, not to mention I made it up. Still, the rocker is rumored to be the favorite for the role of Velvet Revolver frontman.

It's been a regular who's who of daddy rockers being linked to the opening. The job was Scott Weiland's, but he got canned for being too Scott Weiland. He went back to his family and his first band, Stone Temple Pilots. Apparently they are all gluttons for punishment- and good tunes.

Then the rumored replacement was one Royston Langdon, of the recently split from Liv Tyler Royston Landgons. You've got to figure if he's letting Liv Tyler go he can't be any smarter than Weiland. Hopefully he'll go back to Spacehog, they were good.

Enter Kravitz. He writes songs for his kids and washes his hands of illicit affairs. He's like a relative saint.

Kravitz in a band does seem odd though- very Van Hagar, but (hopefully) better.

Michelle Williams Wants Twins

Whit Honea — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:57:00 GMT

Michelle Williams wants twins. According to the good folks at Contact Music she "dreams of having three kids with a future husband and she wants her first two to be twins."

There's only one thing wrong with the story.

They're talking about a different Michelle Williams. The post is talking about Michelle Williams the singer from Destiny's Child, but the pictures and attached gallery are of Michelle Williams the actress.

Hey, it happens.

Says Michelle Williams (the singer), "I really would like twins first so I can knock it right out - have them two and then have one more."

Gordon Moakes Bringing One More to the Bloc Party

Whit Honea — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:04:00 GMT

Gordon Moakes from the band Bloc Party won't be joining the band on tour this summer.

He will be spending time with his pregnant wife who is due in about a week.

Says Gordon, "so while the other chaps are jetting around the Pacific Rim I will be buying the groceries, attending ante-natal classes and generally preparing myself for the cloud of unknown that is becoming a Dad."

Man, rock stars are so mature these days. I mean that in a good way.

Best of luck to Gordon and his wife.

Mick Fleetwood's Daughter Scare

Whit Honea — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:54:00 GMT

Rock legend Mick Fleetwood of the band Fleetwood Mac had a real scare on Friday. His 6-year-old daughter was turning cartwheels by the pool (um, hello?), hit her head and fell in the water.

She was revived at a nearby hospital and has recovered fully.

Cartwheels by the pool? Seriously?

The Wentzs Do Victoria's Secret Pink

Whit Honea — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:35:00 GMT

Here is a video from Entertainment Tonight showing the arrival of Pete Wentz and a pregnant Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (and the guys from the band) at Santa Monica Pier last night for a Victoria's Secret Pink party. I was actually right there in the VIP section when they arrived, but instead of taking pictures or video I took advantage of the small lines at the open bar. You gotta think on your feet.

You know what was weird about Fall Out Boy, or "The Fall Out Boys" as a drunk woman next to me kept calling them, was that Pete Wentz, who is NOT the lead singer, did all of the talking to the audience. I've been to a lot of concerts and I've never seen that. Is the lead singer shy? It's because of the deer feet, isn't it?

Anthony Kiedis Goes Solo

Whit Honea — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:44:00 GMT

Looks like things are no longer red hot for Anthony Kiedis. The Chili Pepper frontman and his baby mama girlfriend Heather Christie are no longer together.

According to People:

The Red Hot Chili Peppers singer, 45, and Christie, 22, a former model, recently ended their relationship of more than three years and have been living apart since June, according to sources.

How is anyone a former anything at the age of twenty-two?

It sounds like Kiedis is the guilty party in ending the relationship as Christie says, "Anthony is a great dad and I will love him forever for giving me the gift of life. I really hope he finds what he's looking for."

I'm guessing what he's looking for will find him.
