Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler leaving My House nightclub in West Hollywood (3/27)
Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler have split up again. The two were married in 2004 before splitting up in 2006, getting back together again in 2007, breaking up again in 2008, and finally getting back together again after Barker's plane crash last September. From Us Weekly:
The couple called it quits "after a nasty fight broke out at his house last night and cops were called...[when] Shanna started freaking out and acting irrational," a source tells Us.
No charges were filed.
"Travis confronted Shanna about her having an affair with Gerard Butler while he was in the hospital recovering," the source says.
Barker's rep tells Us: "After surviving the plane crash his driving force in life is the love he has for his kids. He is tired of all other drama and is ready to move on." (Source)

Travis Barker outside Marmalade Cafe in Santa Monica (10/23)
Great news for those of you wondering what exactly happens to skin when you light it on fire: Travis Barker was seen in public yesterday for the first time since the plane crash he was in last month. It looks like his recovery's going well. I wish I could say the same about me and that vicious papercut I received yesterday. Owie, owie, owie!
A vegetarian for 25 years, Travis Barker has started eating meat again to help speed along his recovery from that inconvenient plane crash he was in last month. He told Us Weekly:
"I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, 'There's a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.' So I did. I don't regret it at all, I feel so much better." (Source)
Uh oh, PETA is gonna be pissed. It's a good thing their diet of tofu and lettuce doesn't give them enough strength to picket Barker's hospital.
Travis Barker and DJ AM crash aftermath caught on tape
There's video of the aftermath of the Saturday morning plane crash that claimed four lives and critically injured Travis Barker and DJ AM. You can hear Barker pleading with a police officer to call an ambulance. He's actually pretty composed for a guy whose jet just exploded. If I had been in the same situation as Barker, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to get a word out other than "Mommy."
DJ AM and Travis Barker at the MTV Video Music Awards (9/7)
Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM are both in critical condition after the Learjet they were traveling in crashed shortly after take off from a Columbia, South Carolina, airport early Saturday morning. Four others -- the two pilots, a security guard, and Barker's assistant -- were killed. From Us Weekly:
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen tells the Associated Press the plane, carrying six people, was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. It appears the plane was attempting to take off, ran off the runway through a fence and hit an embankment, according to initial reports. The plane then caught fire.
Sources tell TMZ.com that Barker and DJ AM saved their own lives by jumping out the door of the burning plane, almost immediately after the small jet came to a halt. (Source)
I think the only proper response here is: HOLY SHIT.
It's now confirmed that Paris Hilton and Travis Barker are an item:
Paris Hilton and former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker are doing a lousy job of dissuading people they're a new couple. Despite an earlier denial, the two were locking lips at Marquee early yesterday morning after Paris opened the Heatherette show. She held up proceedings ("hair issues," apparently) until Barker arrived. After lip-synching her hit "Stars are Blind" on the catwalk, she and Barker left for Marquee. "They spent most of the time talking, but kissed several times," says a club witness. Earlier this week, Paris denied a report that the two were on smooching terms. She said an earlier L.A. sighting was of her snogging a different tattooed rocker who is often confused with Barker.
I'm not too surprised that Paris lied about hooking up with Travis because she pretty much lies about everything. At this point Paris could say something about the earth being round and I would suddenly become paranoid about falling off the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
And what's with the grainy photos of Travis and Paris that have come out lately? They kind of remind me of the pictures the French Resistance took of secret Nazi bunkers during Word War II. Or maybe Travis and Paris are just impossible to photograph celebrity-ninjas.
In other news, Travis' former wife Shanna Moakler feels betrayed by him:
Moakler's response? "When I first heard of the situation I felt betrayed, but in order to maintain a positive atmosphere for my children I've decided that not to exacerbate the situation by commenting on each new aspect of Travis Barker's personal life," she said in a statement to PEOPLE.
No comment about Travis' personal life? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE FIRST PART OF YOUR STATEMENT IS ABOUT! That's like me saying that Count Chocula is my favorite cereal but in order to maintain a positive atmosphere for the other cereal characters I've decided not to comment on what my favorite cereal is.
Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker was caught with Paris Hilton outside of Club Hyde on Thursday. This comes on the heels of Barker's announcement that he was divorcing his wife Shanna Moakler (with bonus MySpace rant!).
It's pretty damn obvious from the very clear picture of them together what they're doing. They're making babies. The picture is too damn crystal-clear not to think that. I'm not even sure having a picture of Barker's penis inserted into Paris's vagina would be as clear as the picture above.
Question: If you are former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and are heading towards a divorce with your wife, former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, what do you do?
In the scathing blog entry, Barker claimed that on a typical day, he would get up with his children at around 5:30 a.m. Moakler, on the other hand, stayed in bed until around 2 p.m. and was frequently out late partying, said Barker. He added that the couple's kids often referred to their nanny as "Mommy."
Barker also claimed that Moakler had neglected to mention that she would be competing on the third season of Dancing with the Stars or that she had a MySpace page.
"I was informed by our realtor that Shanna was doing Dancing with the Stars? Why wouldn't she tell me, right?" he wrote. "A MySpace account? Where she posts pix of our kids and her and I half naked? Weird?"
However, Barker's true breaking point came when he discovered condoms in their home, according to his posting.
"We don't use condoms ever," he wrote, insinuating that his wife had been unfaithful, a claim he also made to the New York Post. "I'm sad to say those allegations [of infidelity] are true," Barker told the paper via a rep. "My priority will remain my children."
I can't really blame Travis on this one. Shanna Moakler is a woman that makes Jessica Simpson look like a smarter Stephen Hawking. I remember one episode of Meet the Barkers where Shanna bit into a glass Christmas ornament because it was "shiny" and "really round" (now I never actually saw that but I'm assuming something like that happened and the producers just cut it out).
Great for Travis to tack on that PSA message about condom usage. That's what being a role model is all about.
