Us magazine met up with Travis Barker at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles where he just had another surgery to treat the third degree burns he sustained after surviving the September 19th Learjet crash.
Travis disclosed to the magazine that being involved in a plane crash was always a fear of his.
“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.”
How are you doing?
“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 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. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Moakler.] I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”
After over 25 years as a vegetarian, you had to start eating meat again. Why?
“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.”
How much longer will you be 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.”

More details of the plane crash involving Travis Barker and DJ AM are coming out, and although the men were fortunate to have survived, they have a long road to recovery ahead.
According to a friend, both men suffered from second and third degree burns - but Adam’s were the most severe. He is in an incubator to keep him in a sterile environment.
“[DJ AM] is really, really badly burned - his face is very burned. More than 50 percent of his body is burned and the worst is on his face. [Barker was burned] mostly from the waist down.”
Before takeoff Adam emailed a friend a photo of himself standing in front of the plane.
Here’s what officials know about the crash so far:
Federal officials say the doomed crew of a Learjet that crashed in South Carolina thought a tire on the plane blew as they started down the runway.
National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said Sunday that crew members told air traffic controllers they heard a tire burst and tried to abort the takeoff Friday night.
Hersman says the conversation between the plane’s crew and the air traffic controllers is captured on a cockpit voice recorderthat was recovered from the wreckage. She says the cause of the crash is being investigated.
The Learjet crashed through a fence and shot over a highway before stopping on an embankment.
As the plane was departing, air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks, officials said. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and came to rest a quarter-mile away on an embankment across a five-lane highway, engulfed in flames.
One witness said he was driving when a fireball streaked across the highway about 600 feet ahead of him. William Owens said he approached to see the two survivors frantically trying to remove their burning clothes.
“I noticed two guys who were on fire and it looked like a dance: They didn’t know what to do,” said Owens, a 60-year-old delivery van driver.
Goldstein had stripped off his own shirt and was helping Barker strip naked, said Owens, who was able to identify the men Saturday night because of news reports that showed Barker’s 
extensive tattoos.
Owens said Goldstein told him four other people were on board the jet, but the flames were too intense to get close.
“‘Oh my God’ was all they were saying,” Owens said of Barker and Goldstein. “They stood there and it’s like — didn’t know what to do. None of us did.”
[Associated Press]
Barker’s friend “Lil Chris” Baker died in the crash along with four other people. Baker had just been married and was the father of a newborn baby. “He was the sweetest, nicest guy. He was like Travis’ right-hand man.”
Both Barker and Goldstein are in critical but stable condition at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga. Recovery is expected to take up to one year, but both are expected to fully recover.
Reps from both Barker and Goldstein released the following joint statement,
“Both Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein are in critical but stable condition and are being treated at Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia after surviving a plane crash late last night in Columbia, South Carolina. The hospital will issue a statement with an update on their condition at 9 a.m. eastern time tomorrow.
Due to the nature of the injuries and the evolving course of treatment, no further information on their condition is available at this time.
The accident claimed the lives of four people on board, two of whom, Chris Baker (Lil Chris) and Charles Stills (Che), were close friends of the injured.
On behalf of Travis Barker and DJ AM, deepest sympathy is expressed to the loved ones of all who perished in the crash. As the two recuperate and mourn this loss, privacy for them, their families, and friends is requested at this time.”
This is so terribly sad. My heart goes out to friends and family of all victims.

Horrible news!
Travis Barker, 32, and DJ AM, (Adam Goldstein) 35, were involved in an awful plane crash just after midnight Friday night.
FOUR people died and Travis and Adam were the only survivors!
Barker and Goldstein had performed earlier at a free college concert with Jane’s Addiction front man, Perry Farrell.
The Learjet, bound for Van Nuys, Ca., took off from a Columbia, South Carolina, airport and soon after air traffic controllers saw sparks coming from the plane.
Lynne Douglas, spokesperson for the Columbia Metropolitan Airport, explains,
“The plane crashed on takeoff and went through a fence near Highway 302, then crossed the road and went up an embankment before being filled with flames. There was debris all over the runway. We are closed now and hope to reopen later today.”
Barker was taken to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia. Both men are in critical but stable condition this morning.
A rep for the burn center stated,
“Both Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein are in critical but stable condition. Goldstein was airlifted here and Barker was brought by ground transportation. So they arrived separately.”
The coroner’s office has released the names of the deceased, they are:
Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif.; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.; security guard Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles; and Barker’s assistant Chris Baker, 26, also of Los Angeles.
An investigation into the crash is underway.

Star magazine is reporting that Shia LaBeouf might lose one of his fingers on the hand that was seriously injured in his recent DUI accident.
A source on the set of his current film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, says the actor will probably end up losing the pinkie finger on his left hand.
Producers working on the film learned about the possible amputation yesterday. “Shia called producers yesterday and told them. It’s really thrown the movie into turmoil.”
UPDATE:
A paps agency I don’t like is reporting that Shia’s rep says the story is “an absolute fabrication.”

Sad but true story.
Britney Spears‘ mother, Lynne, killed a 12-year-old child in an accident when she was just 20-years-old.
Anthony Winters was killed after Lynne rounded a corner in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana striking the boy who was riding a bike with friends in the street. There was oncoming traffic and Lynne could not stop her car in time. She had been on her way to the hospital, taking her brother there for an injury.
Spears’ publicist, Louise Taylor, confirmed the National Enquirer article saying that Lynne is understandably still haunted by the incident and has tried to keep the tragedy out of the papers.
She added, “The boy died at the hospital as a result of his injuries. Lynne, to this day, is grieved by the Winters’ loss of their son.”

Sandra Bullock and husband Jesse James were hit by a drunk driver Friday night.
The couple were being driven home Friday at approximately 9:50pm when they were hit head-on by a drunk driver in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Lucille Gatchell, 64, of Gloucester, was driving a gray Subaru station wagon when she crossed the center lane, hitting the couple’s vehicle.
Luckily no one was injured.
Gloucester Police Lt. Gerry Cook told People magazine, “They were shaken up, needless to say. But they were fine – he was hugging her. Jess and Sandra were hugging. They said they were fine, they didn’t need medical attention. There were quite a few people snapping pictures of them.”
After Gatchell was told who she had hit Lt. Cook said, “She started laughing, she was really giddy.”
Gatchell’s blood alcohol level registered .20 on the breathalyzer. She was arrested and booked for DUI then released on her own recognizance. Her arraignment is Tuesday.

You knew this was going to happen, it’s only surprising it didn’t happen sooner.
A lawsuit has been filed in Pinellas County, Florida by the parents of John Graziano against Hulk Hogan after their son was left in a vegetative state following a crash in which Hulk’s son Nick Hogan had been street racing.
The suit says Hulk (Terry Bollea) knew his son liked to race and was aware that he had been drinking before the accident. It also names Hogan’s estranged wife, Linda Bollea, Nick Bollea and Daniel Jacobs, the driver of the car they were racing against, as defendants.
No monetary damages are mentioned but the family states that it may take millions of dollars to care for John for the remainder of his life.
George Tregos, attorney for Graziano’s parents said at a news conference, “He never will be fully the John he was before.”
Another attorney for the family adds that they were appalled after the Hogans, minus Hulk, visited John on Valentine’s Day. Sure they brought gifts, but they also brought photographers who snapped photos that were then published on celebrity gossip sites.
“We believe that it was a total PR stunt,” Kimberley Kohn told the St. Petersburg Times.
However, an attorney for the Hogans disputes those claims.
“The Bollea family has been visiting John for the last seven or eight months, and there’s been no PR about it whatsoever,” Morris “Sandy” Weinberg Jr., insisted. “It’s a bunch of nonsense to suggest their visits to John are a PR stunt. That’s crazy.”
Tell me, why else would they bring photographers? Is there any other reason besides PR?
And whatever happened to the reports that Hulk may have bought Nick and friends alcohol before the accident? I haven’t heard anything new about that, but hope if it’s true it comes out. It’s called accepting responsibilty for your actions, Mr. Hogan.
This might just be one mess this family can’t buy their way out of.

That Other Blog first reported an accident involving paparazzi chasing Britney Spears last night. TMZ has since confirmed the news that a ’spotter’ (person who notifies paps of celebs locations) on a motorcycle was hit by a paparazzi’s car and has been seriously injured while chasing Britney.
The accident happened around 5:00 PM. Several cars were chasing Britney when the photographer hit the spotter throwing him off his motorcycle and onto the road. He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
