Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM were critically injured when their private jet crashed in South Carolina, killing the four other people aboard, authorities told The Associated Press .Barker and Nicole Richie's former fiance, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were reported in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, where they played a free concert near the University of South Carolina Friday night. People magazine reports that Barker's ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, has rushed to the drummer's side. Barker's former mother-in-law Gail Moakler told People, "Shanna flew out this morning, and I am going to L.A. to be with the children so that she can devote time to Travis." She also said, "Our heart pours out. We're hoping he recovers. The family is rallying around him and saying our prayers." The couple's two young children Landon, 4, and Alabama, 2, have not been told.DJ AM's mother informed his sister, Lara, and her husb...

Calling in to Howard Stern's Sirius radio show on Thursday, Pamela Anderson confirmed that Kid Rock, from whom she recently filed for divorce, indeed had issues with her role in Borat. "I don't know why — you'd have to ask him — but he really was very unhappy about that," she shared. When Stern said he would have been jazzed as her beau, Pam responded, "That's what I'm looking for. Someone who is excited about me." Hmm, define excited.Elsewhere, Shanna Moakler, the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Travis Barker, is dating her Dancing with the Stars partner, Jesse DeSoto, says the New York Post's Page Six.... Six Degrees' Bridget Moynahan and her boyfriend of three years, Patriots QB Tom Brady, have split, says Us.

?We are not going home tonight,? Shanna Moakler proclaimed during one of her rehearsal-scene interviews. Sorry, Shanna, but yes you are. She may once have been Miss USA, but clearly she wasn?t Miss Popularity, and that was ultimately the reason for her early exit. And based on her appearance in the red-light spotlight for two weeks now, Willa Ford looks primed to be following Shanna next week, for the same reason.So we won?t be seeing any more of Shanna, and hopefully no more of Julio Iglesias, either. Really, the less said about his performance the better. At least there was dance going on during it, which proved to be a pleasant distraction. And even more enjoyable was the group jive. I know they were dancing to Billy Idol, but their all-black outfits and the way they paired off made me think of the final scene from Grease ? I almost expected Sandy and Danny to come out and join them.I did not expect to see Tucker Carlson again, and yet, there he was. Thankfully not dancing, but i...

Looks like we're in for another fun season of Dancing with the Stars, the kind of show that defines reality TV as a guilty pleasure. It's hard not to watch this gaudy bauble of harmless fluff without a goofy grin on your face, at times because of the train-wreck spectacle of the terminally rhythm-less (Tucker Carlson, who didn't even dance half of his dance, content to make faces and laugh it all off) and at times because of the sheer joy of performance, whether it's Emmitt Smith's crowd-pleasing playfulness, Mario Lopez's boyish exuberance or Willa Ford's unexpected elegance. (She could be this season's Stacy Keibler.)Handicapping these so-called stars is almost as silly a pastime as watching them, but really, who can resist asking questions like who is this season's Drew Lachey, Lopez or the startlingly buff Joey Lawrence, who looks like Mr. Clean on steroids. My money's on Lopez. Or as judge Bruno Tonioli might call him, the Energizer Bunny, as in: "Do you have extra batteries in...

Loved the new bigger and better set. The chandeliers and balcony seats add a kind of theater glamour to the show. Tom Bergeron was back in top form with his snappy comments, proving he's one of the best reality-show hosts out there. And the judges were back to bickering amongst themselves in no time. As for the new crop of stars, some lived up to expected awkwardness, while some surprised.Let's start with the top of the pack: Mario Lopez. Sure, I expected A.C. Slater could dance well; after all, he had some pretty killer moves back at those Bayside High dances. But I never expected his dancing to be that good: those hips, those feet, those dimples. Did I mention his dancing was really good? He has the lean body of a dancer, and could almost pass for one of the professionals. And right on his heels in the competition was Emmitt Smith. After fellow football great Jerry Rice made it to runner-up in the competition last year, it should be no surprise that football players can dance. But...
