Travis Barker Plane Crash UPDATE: Lil Chris Baker's Wife Not Pregnant (Photos)

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:25:00 GMT

Despite previous reports, it is now being reported that "Lil' Chris" Baker's wife was not in labor at the time of the plane crash that took Baker's life. Earlier, sources had said that Travis Barker, DJ AM, Barker's assistant "Lil' Chris" and three others were rushing home to Los Angeles so that Baker could be by his wife's side when she gave birth.

A rep for DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, issued this statement:

"In regards to [inaccurate reports], Lil Chris Baker did not ask for a jet to meet his wife in delivery because she's not even pregnant. A private jet had always been chartered as DJ AM had a private engagement today in Los Angeles."

Baker and his wife are parents of a 2-year old son.

Barker and Goldstein were seriously burned in the plane crash that took the lives of Baker and three other passengers on Friday night and were reported to be in critical but stable condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga. The group had boarded the Lear jet hours after performing for thousands of South Carolina college students.

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.

Scott Weiland Busted. AGAIN.

HerBadMother — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 23:02:00 GMT

Scott Weiland's been busted for DUI. Again.

According to TMZ: The Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer was driving on an L.A. highway around 6:15 PM on November 21 when he crashed his car. While the California Highway Patrol was investigating the non-injury wreck, they noticed Weiland appeared to be impaired... According to the police report, Weiland failed sobriety tests and refused to take a blood or urine test. He was booked for "driving under the influence of a drug. " He was released on $40,000 bail and will be back in court on December 13.

Wow, and I, like, totally believed him when he said that he was just a homespun family guy whose family life was 'just like the Cleavers.' Yeah, ha. This guy's been busted for crack possession and domestic violence and multiple DUI's. The Weilands probably have mugshots on the mantle instead of Sears Portraits. So a little bust-up on the highway and a failed sobriety test are probably nothin' to Scott.

Still, sucks. Hardly a good start to the holidays. Not as bad as death rumors, but not cheery. All the Weiland kids are gonna want for Christmas is for Daddy to get probation.

Trashy Britney Spears

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:05:00 GMT

According to Life & Style, Spears is facing yet another lawsuit for reportedly trashing a condo in Marina Del Rey. My head is literally spinning from all the drama.

The owner of the condominium, Amir E. Zagross is threatening to sue the poptart unless she coughs up some dough for the damage that she and her family caused. The condo is worth an estimated $1.5 million.

He says, “I met Britney at the condo myself with her mother, brother, sons and her bodyguards. They assured me they were immaculate, nice people who would take care of the property. But the damage was significant.” Ya, but doesn't he know who Britney is? Has he been living under a rock? Dude, it's Britney Spears! She's not known for being "immaculate". That's not the word that comes to mind when I think of her.

Britster's big bro' Bryan, 30, may be more to blame than his trainwreck sister, 26. Wow, who knew she came from a family of trashiness?

A source said, “The whole family would come in and out of the place, but Bryan was the most constant."

Apparently there is damage to the walls, flooring, balcony, doors, electrical outlets and air conditioning, claims Zagross, who said, “We couldn’t re-rent the condo because of the state it was in." Shocking eh? I mean Britney is usually so classy. Ah, you caught me, I did not type that last sentence with a straight face.

Gene Simmons Dead? Almost - He's on Trump's New Celebrity Apprentice

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 22:15:00 GMT

With rumors swirling that he had died, Gene Simmons missed his chance to garner some sympathy. Instead, he surfaced today on the lackluster list of celebrities willing to be humiliated by toupee-king Donald Trump on The Celebrity Apprentice. Looks like Simmons won't be rock and rolling all night and partying every day.

The show had boasted for months about the "stellar talent" it was assembling for the celebrity version of The Apprentice, but by the looks of this list one wonders if we mistook "stellar" for "in the cellar." Joining KISS musician Simmons are country singer Trace Adkins, former model Carol Alt, former Taxi star Marilu Henner, former Olympic medalist Nadia Comaneci and former heavyweight boxing champ Lennox Lewis. And those are the recognizable names.

Since rumors of the notoriously self-promoting Simmons' death came less than 48 hours before the show's announcement, I think we all know who started it. You're fired!

Wit Yo Bad Self-Well Actually With A Woman:Timbaland To Be A Daddy!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 18:32:00 GMT

Hip Hop Big Wig Do'er of All, Timbaland, is going to be a proud papa!

Timbaland, 36, (who's real name is Timothy Z. Mosley) is reportedly expecting a baby girl with a woman who works for, Mosley Music Group, which is his music label. The baby is expected sometime at the end of this month, but no other details have been released.

Sources say, "They are not a couple but Timbaland has promised to be involved in the child's upbringing. He's very excited about the baby and has been very supportive to the mother." Reps for Timbaland have refused to comment.

The music mogul is currently working on Madonna's new album, which is slated for a 2008 release. Hopefully he can help Madge get an album out that's worth listening to! Did I say that out loud? Yes, yes, I did.

Heath Ledger & Matilda Rockin' The Sunglasses In Soho

Sassy Smith — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:05:00 GMT

And by rockin' the sunglasses, I mean Matilda is. Heath, ah, not so much. Why does Heath look like a hobo lately? Must be for a movie role. Yes. For sure.

Ledger and his adorable daughter, Matilda, (with ex, Michelle Williams), were having some father/daughter time yesterday in Soho, NYC. How stinkin' cute is she? I mean the glasses are cute but she's beyond cute! Now only if her ~~bag lady~~ daddy would get himself back to his usual hotness. I mean really, what's with the greasy, unkempt hair and the 80's fingerless gloves? And they have stripes on them. *Shudder*

No Threat Of Miscarriage For JLo!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 12:02:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez has a clean bill of health, despite reports that she was in possible danger of miscarrying her unborn baby.

Rumor had it, Jennifer was rushed to the hospital because she had found traces of blood in her urine and then her doctors had supposedly put her on immediate rest and would stop touring. Apparently she's A-Okay and so is baby Marco (possible name), which is great news! Oh I soooo hope baby looks like his mama.

JLo's spokesperson says, "Despite erroneous reports of Jennifer Lopez having difficulties with her pregnancy, we are happy to confirm she is very healthy and continuing with her schedule as planned." Keep on rockin' it Ms. Lopez!

Britney's Mom Sleeping With Kevin Federline?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:02:00 GMT

Apparently Britney thinks so.

Spears has accused her mother, Lynne, of sleeping with Kevin Federline in a bid to get close to her grandchildren. Um ew. Sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Sources say that Britney said to her mother, "I suppose you're sleeping with Kevin now as well?" Brit is reportedly fuming that her mother and K'Fed have become close. I'm crossing my fingers that grandma doesn't have to do the nasty with Federline to be able to see her grandbabies. Personally, I think it's just a case of Spears going off the deep end and putting blame on everyone else for her lack of parenting skills.

Is Gene Simmons Dead?

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 06:20:00 GMT

**UPDATE: KISS ALIVE! Gene Simmons is still lickin'! And about to be fired...

Just when we were starting to breathe easy now that Travis Barker is alive, the internet is buzzing again, this time with news that Gene Simmons of the rock band KISS has died. And once again the story originated from a MySpace blog, which stated that the rocker had been found dead by his daughter, Sophie.

My guess is that he's alive. Then again, I just now found out Elvis is dead, so what do I know.

Is it true?

Hit Me Baby One More Time, No Two More Times...Britney Can't Drive

Sassy Smith — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 23:56:00 GMT

So what else is new?

VIDEO AFTER THE READ

Britser is out and about, driving in her white Mercedes with her ~~growth~~ "friend", Sam Lufti. And that's about it as far as the story goes. She doesn't have her kids, because she's not permitted to drive with them in her vehicle. So, I'm giving you something to do on this fine Saturday, and that's to have some fun, watching Britney trying to, not exactly sure... pull up to a gas pump? Or not run over the paparazzi? Or both? Whatever. Don't say I've never given you anything!

The Unveiling Of Julia Robert's Son!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 19:04:00 GMT

Julia Roberts will be on Oprah Monday and she will be "unveiling" her newest son, 5 month old, Henry Daniel Moder. I'm not sure I'd refer to it as unveiling my child, like he's some sort of art piece, but whatever floats her Pretty Woman boat.

Roberts said to Winfrey on the taping of the show, "There's been a lot of curiosity. There's not been a picture of him. I thought I would just show everybody." Julia is joining Tom Hanks to promote their new movie, Charlie Wilson's War.

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?
