Travis Barker Runs For His LIfe

trix — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:32:00 GMT

Travis Barker must have been inspired by the fact that Katie Price ran a marathon, because he's getting in on the action. Well, I guess it could have been his brush with death last year too.

He is getting in shape to run the LA Marathon on May 25. What, that's pretty soon, he must have been doing some clandestine training for us to not have reported this sooner.

I guess I won't be heading down to Los Angeles on the 25th, thanks for the heads up Star magazine. I'm sure Travis will do great, he's just going to need to load up or he's going to waste away to nothing during the run.

I once tried to go to Olvera Street and didn't realize the marathon was going on, I don't even remember where I ended up.

Travis Barker is Happy To Say "I DO"

trix — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:33:00 GMT

Travis Barker has had a crazy year and to finish it all out he is going to get married again.

I think that perhaps his brush with death last year was the impetus behind the vow renewal and I would be right. Both Shannon and Travis admit that the reason for them to exchange vows again came from the need to live life the fullest, something they both realized after the plane crash last September.

Shannon said, "It's not so much about the wedding but about having a celebration of each other and getting through all the crazy things we've been through. When you almost lose a loved one, it makes you appreciate things you took for granted."

I'm sure Alabama and Landon are tickled to have mommy and daddy together again.

Travis Barker- I'm Going To Disneyland

trix — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:02:00 GMT

Travis Barker, Shannon Moakler and kids spent the day at Disneyland. Here they are pictured outside Sephora.

It looks like Atiana got a little make over at Libby Lu or at least some fancy face-painting.

I always miss the stars at Disneyland. I was just there Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Travis Barker was there on Tuesday with his family. I would be able to use my own photos as a source instead of seeing them somewhere else.

Travis Barker Says Thank You

trix — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:32:00 GMT

Travis Barker is still in the hospital, but wanted to send a message out to his fans. He wanted to express his thanks for all the support and well wishes he has received since he was injured in a plane crash 3 1/2 weeks ago. He wrote his thank you on his my space page.

Thank you

I want to give my deepest thanks to everyone who has helped deal with the current situation. First and foremost, Chris and Che were my friends. I would give up anything to have them here with us today, healthy and happy. To call them my employees does them such a disservice, as they were so much more than that. Chris was my best friend before anything else, and I can never put into words how much he will be missed. Che was an amazing person as well, and I was honored to have him in my life.

I am simply amazed and will be forever grateful for all the support everyone has shown to Chris and Che's families. Its a testament to how many lives they touched in a positive way.

Hospital Life!

Like the doctors said from the beginning, its been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday. Today I finally was able to move all my fingers on my right hand. Every step seems huge at this point, and Im doing EVERYTHING I can possibly do to get back to my kids. Yes, I did start eating meat again, but if it helps me to be home holding my little humans sooner, then its all worth it. The staff here are all bomb! Dr. Grossman and his staff are the best. The BOSS Barbara, and nurses Betty, Jay , Emily, Julio, Lolita, and Stephanie (with the best scrubs ever!) are all taking the best care of me.

My good friend Armen has been kind enough to save me from the hospital food, and brings Jamba Juice, Wahoos, or whatever else I need to keep my calories and protein levels high.

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.

My friends and family have been amazing. My pops has been with me ANY time I need him. My sisters, James, Skinhead Rob, Daniel, Hoover, Armen and of course Ricardo and Nicole, have all shown amazing support. JD and Mark Hoppus both took the time to come visit and offer their support as well. Estevan Oriol even came in with a calendar.

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!

Travis Barker: I Want To Hold My Kids Again

Sassy Smith — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:02:00 GMT

Travis Barker was released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center on September 29, after surviving a horrific plane crash, that killed four. He was moved to the Grossman Burn Center in Sherman Oaks, Calif, but is reportedly not happy with the conditions of his new hospital.

A friend of Travis' ex-wife Shanna Moakler, tells Life & Style, "While the skin-graft surgery [performed there] was a success, they're concerned about the level of care Travis is receiving now."

Apparently Barker is unhappy with not being able to quickly access doctors and meds. The source adds, "He felt he had to wait too long for pain medications after his surgery last week and that he hasn't been receiving quick enough access to doctors. They're looking into moving him elsewhere, but I'm not sure they will. It's a very emotional time."

As well, Travis, 32, wants Shanna to be able to stay the night and the hospital is refusing.

On a happy note, Travis himself has spoke with Us Weekly magazine and is "thankful to be alive!" That's an understatement I'm sure.

He continues, "I hate planes. 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."

He decided to travel by bus to the new burn unit with his dad and Shanna.

"I am doing the best I can possibly be. 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.

"I'm trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again." Barker has two children with Moakler - Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2. "I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”

If his recovery goes well, he will be able to go home within two weeks. He said about being in the hospital, “Oh gosh, I hope not much longer. I sit here and I read books and watch TV. I think if this surgery went well, I’ll be here for at most two weeks.”

His friend DJ AM, the other survivor of the crash was released from hospital shortly before Travis was moved. Doctors have stated that they believe both men will fully recover.

Travis Barker lost not only his assistant, but a dear friend, in the plane crash last weekend, that saw Travis severely burned. Barker's apparel company Famous Stars and Straps has released a tribute video to Christopher "Lil Chris" Baker to honor and remember him.

Video link after the jump!

Friends describe Chris as "a trouper."

Tal Cooperman, who runs skater brand DCMA Collective said, "He really represented Travis and his company in the best way I've ever seen."

Chris is survived by his wife and 2-year-old son, as well as his parents, and extended family.

Linda Warn, Chris's mom spoke with momlogic.com and said of her painful loss:

"When she looked through the blind this time it was her oldest son's friend. When she saw his face, she immediately knew tragedy had struck for a second time -Warn has lost her 24-year-old son Rob in a motorcycle accident just 31 days before losing Chris - She opened the door and asked him if it was her two-year-old grandson, Sebastian. When he shook his head no, she asked if it was Chris. He said yes, and then she cried, "No!" He told her about the crash, and they walked inside and turned on CNN. From that point on she was in constant contact with Chris' wife, Jessie, who was talking to Barker's clothing company, Famous Stars and Straps. The news on TV wasn't confirming Chris was dead, but they all knew he was."

You can see the video tribute to Chris HERE. It's beautiful but sad.

Christopher "Lil Chris" Baker, who was the personal assistant and friend to Travis Barker, died in a fiery plane crash last Friday night. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Besides his parents and extended family, he leaves behind his wife, Jesse, and his two year old boy, Sebastian. Chris was remembered by his home town....

Chris is being remembered in an article published by the sacbee.com:

(Shown are Chris' parents)

Christopher Baker – a 29-year-old Roseville native whose love of cars drew him into the world of celebrities, rock 'n' roll stars and reality television – was one of the four people killed in the weekend South Carolina plane crash involving former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Known as 'Lil Chris by family and friends, the Roseville High School graduate was Barker's close friend and personal assistant. "Chris got to see the world with Travis," Baker's mother, Linda Warn, said Sunday at the Roseville family's home. "He went to Japan, Australia, almost all of Europe and every state in the continental U.S., I think.

"Once he called us at 3 a.m. just to tell us he was standing in front of the Mona Lisa."

The Van Nuys-bound Learjet carrying six people crashed shortly after takeoff from an airport in Columbia, S.C., late Friday, according to news reports.

Baker, along with another member of Barker's entourage, 25-year-old Charles Still, pilot Sarah Lemmon and co-pilot James Bland, were killed.

Barker and celebrity DJ Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, were badly burned, but are expected to recover.

Baker is survived by his wife, Jessie, and toddler son, Sebastian. The couple would have celebrated their first wedding anniversary next month, Warn said.

"We've got Sebastian and we've got Jessie. So we still have Chris," Warn said.

Baker grew up working on cars with his stepfather Robert Warn, who helped him fix a 1953 Chevrolet. As a teen, Baker participated in the Roseville Police Athletic League's car program, where he'd spend hours under the hood at police headquarters.

"He loved working on cars," Robert Warn said. "He wanted to get them looking good before they ran."

After graduation, Baker started an auto detailing business that he later took to Los Angeles.

One of the first times Warn went to visit her son, she asked him what was so great about Southern California. That evening, Baker took her up a mountain where they could see the lights from the city.

"They looked like stars and he said, 'It's like living in heaven,' " Warn said. "He loved the people and he loved the fast pace. He wasn't uncomfortable around celebrities. He treated them like you or me."

Baker struck up a friendship with Blink-182's Barker about five years ago, when the two met at a gas station.

"Chris told Travis that he had a really nice car, but he needed to hire him to take care of it," Warn said.

The men quickly became friends and Baker spent a year touring with the drummer before being hired as his personal assistant.

In addition to concerts, Baker was seen in several episodes of "Meet the Barkers," an MTV reality show that followed Barker and his family.

"They were inseparable," Warn said. After the crash, the drummer was in critical condition with burns." Travis called Jessie and just kept saying, 'I lost our Chris.' He's devastated," the mother said.

The Warns said Baker always shared his good fortune with his family, frequently sending them products from from Barker's clothing line, Famous Stars and Straps.

When Robert Warn, an avid country music lover, couldn't take time off for a last-minute concert, Baker sent him a program signed by all the artists.

"It really warmed my heart," Robert Warn said.

Baker's death was the second tragedy to hit the family. Last month, Baker's 24-year-old stepbrother, Rob Warn, was killed in a motorcycle accident in Sacramento. Another son, James Warn, is 22.

"We're going to work it out. Chris would've wanted us to go on," Warn said. "Now they're both with God. We had our hands full with those two, so now God is busy."
