Travis Barker Starts Eating Meat & Shanna Moakler Appears In PETA Ad

celebrity-news Travis Barker Starts Eating Meat & Shanna Moakler Appears In PETA Ad

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has started eating meat for the first time in 25 years to recover from his recent plane crash injuries.

The rock star, who has been a strict vegetarian for most of his life, is on a protein-packed diet after he suffered third degree burns to his legs and torso in the horror last month.

He says, “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.”

The 32-year-old rocker, who has been receiving treatment for his burns at a specialist center in Los Angeles, revealed that he hopes to recover soon because he is “going nuts” not being able to hold his two children, five-year-old Landon and two-year-old Alabama.

He added, “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 was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”

However, ex-wife Shanna Moakler is still feeling the benefit of not eating meat and will appear in PETA’s newest television campaign.

She says, “There are so many good reasons not to eat meat, but for me, the well-being of my children is the most important. I want them to be healthy and also to understand that when they say ‘No!’ to meat, they’re saying ‘No!’ to animal cruelty. We talk about our pets, and I say, ‘You wouldn’t eat Biscuit, would you? Well, then let’s not eat any animal, O.K.?’”

celebrity-news Travis Barker Released From Hospital & DJ AM Resurfaces At Funeral For Plane Crash Victim

Rocker Travis Barker was released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia on Monday morning (September 29).

The former Blink-182 drummer spent nine days at the center after the plane crash on September 19th in Columbia, South Carolina, which took the lives of four people and severely burned Travis Barker and DJ AM. Barker underwent treatment for second and third degree burns on his torso and lower body. A spokesperson reported that “He left in good condition.”

According to a source close to the Barker family, the injured musician is “going to another hospital in L.A.” as “he wants to be home.” He is said to be traveling home to California on a private bus with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. “Travis is desperate to get back home to be near his kids,” an insider tells Life & Style magazine. “He and Shanna got a luxury bus with all the medical help he needs.”

DJ AM, who suffered burns to his upper body, was released from the same hospital late last week. The celebrity disc jockey recently made his first public appearance after the incident, attending the memorial service of plane crash victim Chris Baker, who served as an assistant to Travis Barker for several years.

celebrity-news Travis Barker Doing Well After Plane Crash

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is expected to make a full recovery following a plane crash in South Carolina that killed four people.

The rocker suffered second and third degree burns after escaping death from a fiery Learjet around midnight Friday. He and Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, jumped from the door of the burning plane immediately after the crash.

Two other passengers, Travis Barker’s assistant Chris Baker, 29, and security guard Charles Still, 25, were killed. Pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, and co-pilot James Bland, 52, have also been pronounced dead.

Music producer Jermaine Dupri visited Travis Barker in the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors’ Hospital in Augusta, Georgia, and said he was “doing well”.

He told Us Weekly, “It’s a seriously sad situation. He’s doing good… but I really hate to see my friends go through this.”

Rapper The Game told AllHipHop.com, “I am deeply hurt by this tragedy. Travis Barker has always been there for me when I needed him creatively. We’ve done many songs together.

“Just recently he appeared in my video ‘Dope Boyz’ that he featured on. I respect and love him, my prayers are with him and his family in this difficult time for his speedy and complete recovery.”

According to Dr. Fred Mullins, both stars will make a full recovery from their injuries. He said, “Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn’t suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected.” When asked if the expected recovery time would be a year he added, “I would expect it would be much sooner than that.”

Travis Barker & DJ AM Critically Injured In Deadly Plane Crash

celebrity-news Travis Barker & DJ AM Critically Injured In Deadly Plane Crash

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM have been critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash, which killed four people on Friday night in Columbia, South Carolina.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reportedly “saw sparks coming from the runway — whether that was from the aircraft or its engines, we don’t know”.

It appears the twin-engine private Learjet was attempting to take off, ran off the runway through a fence and hit an embankment. “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 National Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman Debbie Hersmen. “There was a significant post-crash fire.”

Sources tell TMZ.com that Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, saved their own lives by jumping out the door of the burning plane, almost immediately after the small jet came to a halt. Barker suffered burns from the waist down, while AM’s face was severely burned. They were airlifted to the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia early Saturday morning.

Two other passengers — assistant Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and security guard Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles — and two crew members — pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad — were killed when the plane crashed at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport.

Aubrey O'Day
Singer Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane has been chosen by Travis Barker as the new spokesmodel for his clothing line, Famous Stars and Straps.

The women’s line was launched with bikinis, shirts, pants, hoodies and more.

Famous Stars and Straps hopes to bridge the gap between punk and hip-hop, which would explain Aubrey’s dirrty appearance.

If Aubrey is trying to channel her inner Christina Aguilera, we can safely assume that she will soon be knocked up! I just hope Sean John isn’t the father!
