Travis Barker, drummer of Blink-182, is too traumatized after his
plane crash to go on tour. I don't think anyone blames him. In 2008, a Learjet taking Barker,
Adam Goldstein AKA DJ AM, Barker's assistant, and Barker's security guard, crashed on the way back to California from South Carolina. Barker and Goldestein were the only surviors; the two pilots also died. Then in 2009,
Goldstein died of what coroners determined to be "acute intoxication" (accidental drug overdose).
Since the crash, Barker has been traveling via other ways. When Blink-182 performed in Europe last year, he traveled by sea. However this time he will be unable to make the date in Australia.
From
ABC News:
I still haven’t gotten over the horrific events that took place the last time I flew when my plane crashed and 4 people were killed, two being my best friends...I hope to come to Australia again some day perhaps by ship if need be. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a boat that worked with the schedule this time around. Once again I’m sorry to all the fans.
Brooks Wackerman of Bad Religion and Tenacious D will take Barker's place. />Travis Barker, drummer of Blink-182, is too traumatized after his plane crash to go on tour.

Snooki, AKA Nicole Polizzi, of Jersey Shore and the public consciousness, dramatically switched up her look. The reality star was seen with friend JWoww at an airport looking more hipster than...whatever it is her style is called. She was photographed wearing some sort of Lydia Deetz hat, Ray Ban Wayfarer-esque glasses, cropped leather jacket, tee proclaiming, 'Be Yourself Everyone Else Is Already Taken -- Oscar Wilde' (LOL), slim black jeans, and those gigantic wooden platform boot things that Jeffery Campbel...
Fergie, Black Eyed Pea, is expecting her first child with husband Josh Duhamel. Fergie is 37 and Duhamel is 40. Earlier today Ms. Ferg tweeted "Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!! #mylovelybabybump." Cute. The two were married in 2009 in a wedding that probably costs more than anything you will ever buy in your life times 3. No but I'm happy for them, though. Especially because of this great quote from Fergie.
From USA Today:
I love (wearing) sweats.
Oh my God, Fergie. Girl. We have so much more in common than I ever re...

We can all let out that collective sigh of relief knowing that Paul Schrader's film The Canyons written by Bret Easton Ellis and starring James Deen, has been picked up by IFC films this summer. It will "premiere day-and-date and on digital platforms" meaning that you'll be able to download it (from something like iTunes or OnDemand) the same day it hits theaters. Meaning that I will be having an epic Canyons viewing party in my living room. Meaning that I will be spending a Friday night alone drinking.

Edward Furlong, super cool guy, was sentenced to jail today for allegedly violating the protective order his girlfriend filed against him. When I say "back to jail" what I mean is that he's been there three times in the past four months for domestic abuse. In 2010 he was put on three years probation for violating a protective order from his wife at the time.
Let's also not forget that he gave his six-year-old cocaine.
The judge alledgly commented at sentencing something like, "You're not ...
Mariah Carey, she of crazy high notes and crazy low spirals, really wanted everyone to know that she was having an awesome Valentine's Day. I, for one, am relieved. I don't know if I would feel okay not knowing that she took a nice hot bubble bath.

Amy Locane-Bovenizer, who played Sandy Harling on Melrose Place and Allison in Cry Baby, was sentenced to 3 years for killing a 60 year-old woman in a car crash. Ms. Locane-Bovenizer was drinking and driving, with a BAC of almost 3 times the legal limit. The judge granted her a lenient sentence because of her two children who require medical assistance. Her husband, however, didnt think it was lenient enough, as it's claimed he shouted, "What a travesty!" immediately after the sentencing. ...
Kris Humphries and Lindsay Lohan have something in common: both got dumped by their lawyers. Marshall Waller, lawyer of said alpaca, played the irreconcilable differences card and split. Oh man, ouch. And on Valentine's Day, too! Just for fun, since this is what I consider fun, I Googled Marshall Waller to see who else he's represented and found reviews of him, like a Yelp for lawyers. Most of them favorable! And in case you were wondering, he charges $295 - $525 per hour. Super!
Hopefully Humphr...
Katy Perry, despite what most people think, is a smart and thoughtful woman. Instead of hopping on the Welcome Back Chris Brown Express, she's allegedly letting friends know that she doesn't approve of Rihanna dating Chris Brown. The lovely Rihanna and the lovely Ms. Perry became friends after sitting together at last year's Grammy Awards. Look, let's make something clear: Katy Perry is not victim blaming. She's not telling Rihanna not to date Chris Brown; she's recognizing that this is a choice...
I'm really loving Amanda Bynes ever since she stepped through the looking glass into bizarro world. No, I don't condone her hitting and running or calling Jay-Z ugly on Twitter. And lord knows I'm not opposed to smoking weed, but you shouldn't be a dick about it and violate the terms of your lease and make the hallway reek of pot. But latest reports have me lolling and not hating, because dear girl, I kind of get it. You're stressed out and you just don't care anymore. Which would explain why you le...
Paris Hilton used to be a great annoyance to humanity and then mericifully, she was gone. But thanks for the memories. However I'm writing about her now because she did something most women don't do: she was the one who proposed in her relationship. That's an unusual thing to do, at least here in the USA. It takes a lot of bravery for a woman to do that, and a really chill dude not to feel emasculated by that. So, okay, good job there taking control and not being afraid, Paris. Sure, they've only...
