Here is an update to this post about the details of the plane crash which involved DJ AM (real name Adam Michael Goldstein) and Travis Barker.
TMZ reports new details on why they were flying to Van Nuys, CA, on Friday night (September 19) and it makes the whole situation even sadder because Barker’s assistant, Chris Baker, wanted to get home as soon as possible because his wife was going into labor.
Barker usually doesn’t fly on private jets but made an exception to get the soon to be new father to his wife as soon as possible. But as we now know, what would be the happiest time in his life, turned into taking the happiness of a new birth away.
Sources tell E! that is “really, really badly burned, more than 50 percent of his body is burned and the worst is on his face.”
The source adds Goldstein that is being “kept in an incubator as part of his treatment in order to maintain a sterile environment and prevent infections.”
Right before taking off Goldstein took and e-mailed a friend a picture of himself standing next to the plane saying “Hey, I’m coming home on this ride.”
There is several reports and updates that DJ AM (real name Adam Michael Goldstein) and Travis Barker were on a small Learjet that crashed during takeoff in Columbia, South Carolina, on Friday night (September 20). So we will try get you up to catch.
Four others, including two crew member and two passengers were killed in the crash, Barker and AM are in critical condition. Both were rushed to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia.
A spokesperson for the Joseph M. Still Burn Center tells People, “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.”
Those confirmed dead are Sarah Lemmon (the pilot), James Bland (co-pilot), Chris Barker (Travis’ assistant and passenger), Charles Still (Travis’ bodyguard ad passenger).
A man says he saw the accident as well as Barker and AM running around trying to distinguish themselves, they both told him there was four more on board but the man says nothing could be done.
Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the FAA said the plane was set for Van Nuys, CA, but air-traffic controllers reported seeing sparks before the plane went down on a nearby road.
TMZ report that Barker has been burned from the waist down and is expected to survive, while AM’s face was severely burned and is being treated right now.
TMZ report that Barbara Sreisand’s goddaughter, Caleigh Peters, has been served with a restraining order after she allegedly threatened to kill a woman named Katie Krause.
Peters cannot be in any communication with Krause in any way after Krause claims that Peters “grabbed my head, pulled my hair, threw me to the ground, kicked and punched me repeatedly, kneed me, bloodied my nose, scratched my face and my arms at Hyde Lounge in West Hollywood. She threatened to kill me… and told me to prepare to die.”
This isn’t the first that Peters has been in trouble with the law over this type of behaviour, it was reported that last year Laura Mary Shields, a model from NBC’s Deal Or No Deal, put a restraining order on Peters because she was “violently” attacked at a restaurant.
See the paps need to stop following the now boring Paris Hilton and focus their attention on women like this.

Working on the new record was the final breaking point for an already unstable band. All of The Follow’s family and close friends have been contacted, we’ve filled a missing person’s report, and have reached out to the Australian Consulate for guidance.”
It seems a bunch of protesters at the Democratic Convention in Denver, Colorado, aren’t fans of Fox News.
Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins walked into the protest and repeatedly asked them questions about their protest, he didn’t get the nicest response and the whole crowd ended up chanting “F*uck Fox News”
Meg Ryan has said that she is glad she is less famous than what she used to be, because it means she can travel without anybody noticing her.
The actress says that ever since she hooked up with Russell Crowe, causing her marriage with Dennis Quaid to end, she had bad press.
She says, “I think it’s great being less famous. I blame the fact I had, shall we say, a meeting with Russell Crowe. I had never seen or heard such bad press about me here and it’s been great in a funny kind of way and, you know, a good thing too because I now realise the world does not revolve around me.”
Ryan’s new movie, The Women which also stars Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith and Bette Midler is released on September 12.
LL Cool J (real name James Todd Smith III) has launched an attack towards the president, George W. Bush in his new song.
The song titled, Mr. President attacks Bush over his involvement in the Iraq war.
Speaking about the song he says, “It’s all about what I’d like to ask him. Tell me how to set that up (a meeting with Bush), and I would be there in a heartbeat.”
The song’s lyrics are, “Mr President, are you aware, Our flesh and blood is dying over there?, When the coffins come back, do you care?, When only the poor kids die, is it fair?, Don’t get me wrong. I respect the flag, But it hurts to see a kid in a body bag, He fought for his country with all he had, Now we have a family without a dad.”
The album called Exit 13 is released on September 9 and his the rappers final album with record label Def Jam.
