And what a large one it was!

Travis Barker no longer has to be unrecognizable from the back since the drummer of the “Transplants” got his band’s logo tattooed on the back of his hairless head by the famous Mister Cartoon. Better known as the infamous drummer from “Blink 182,” the rocker dad shows his commitment to his new band and to the punk rock/rap genre with his new ink design.

And what better way to promote their upcoming album!

Do you like Travis’s new tattoo?

It looks like Travis Barker just entered the realm of Tommy Lee‘s twilight zone. Photos of the heavily tattooed drummer prominently displaying his uh…”drumstick”… have been going viral on the ‘net, and Travis has ordered his lawyers to send a “cease and desist” order against the main proponent of distribution…

MediaTakeOut.com originally posted the revealing photos yesterday without identifying the musician, and with instructions for viewers “to find out which tatted rocker this is.” But as Travis‘ distinct ink is so recognizable, it didn’t take long to give him away — and for the pictures to start circulating online.

According to TMZ, a source said the photos were

“private and never intended for public viewing or to be seen by anyone else.”

Were they to record memories of happier times with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, maybe?

Travis, who retains Evan Speigel, a partner at Los Angeles entertainment law specialists Lavely & Singer, has directed that a cease and desist letter be sent to MediaTakeOut.com for “unauthorized use of private photos.”

Hmmm…after surviving that plane crash in 2008, having his “drumstick” circulating the Internet shouldn’t be a biggie…

The Blink – 182 rocker Travis Barker was out on a Sunday drive in one of his classic cars but was acting a little suspicious as he drove by the shutterbugs in Calabasas, California. Travis looked to be riding alone but he kept looking into his back seat where we think he was hiding a lady friend.

Doesn’t it look like Travis is hiding a girlfriend in the back seat?

More pictures of Travis after the complaint…

Travis and his posse left without charges being filed on them. So far. From TMZ:

As we first reported, Travisgot into it with a photographer on his way into the restaurant — but neither of the two photogs in the video are that guy.

The photogs claim one of their phones was stolen. When one of the photogs confronts Travis’friends about the phone, a guy can be heard saying, “F**king snitch fa**ot motherf**ker, no one has your gay ass phone.”

After a few more minutes of arguing, and the arrival of cops, a photog noticed his tires were slashed.

The photogs told cops they did not want to press charges. No arrests were made, but a vandalism report was taken.

Spitting, slashed tires? I wonder what the real story is here. They should know photographers are out. Travis might need some anger management classes!

more Shanna and Travis pictures after the hop….

She took to her celebrity MySpace page (of course she did!) and wrote:

“Just so there is no confusion or ‘source’ to attack my character, I am saying my side,” she begins. “Travis and I were very much together in September when the horrific [jet crash] happened. Not only did I fly to Georgia, I stayed by his side the entire stay and also for the bus ride home to L.A. I think any human being with a heart … would do the same…I came across numerous romantic emails with MANY other woman — some famous, some I personally knew — all heart breaking,” she continues, adding that one woman involved “should be ashamed” of herself. I am by no means an angel, and I have made many mistakes, but a woman can only turn her cheek so many times…I am a human being and the bashing has taken its toll. Hope you’re all happy.”

Shanna needs to truly stop caring about all this boo ha ha. For the love of God, get over the tabloids and the Internet!

More pictures after the mistake…

Travis and Shanna have always had a stormy relationship, even when they were married.   That’s why it didn’t work and they divorced in 2006.  But even after that, they were always together, sometimes even seeming like love doves before Travis’ plane crash.  From Starpulse:

And the rocker and his ex admit the crash was the inspiration behind their decision to become man and wife once again.

Former beauty queen Moakler tells Us Weekly magazine, “We would like to renew our vows and have another wedding. It’s not so much about the wedding but about having a celebration of each other and getting through all the crazy things we’ve been through. When you almost lose a loved one, it makes you appreciate things you took for granted.”

Do you think they can work this time, after a hard lesson was learned?  I give it a few years and they forget again.  What’s your guess?

More pictures after the paperwork…

I think Travis’ lawsuit was over the top and so is Adam’s.  Per Dlisted, this is who he is suing:

DJ AM is suing the estates of the two pilots who died in the crash as well as Clay Lacy Aviation, Global Exec Aviation, Inter Travel & Services Inc, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co, and Learjet.

And this is what he is suing for:

DJ AM wants cash money for pain, suffering, lost earnings, property damage, punitive damages and past and future health-related expenses.

Do either of them think suing the estate of the dead pilot’s is going to make them feel better?  Do they not realize the pilots are DEAD while they are both lucky enough to be alive this Christmas?  I hope their Hollywood lawyers don’t win this case, because those families are suffering through a holiday alone.

We are surprised about the lawsuit and concerned and knowledgeable about the accident. We are sympathetic for the victims but we want to emphasize we were not operating this airplane. This was not our airplane. We merely assisted the parties in chartering this aircraft with another company. We simply booked it for them.”

More pictures after the diss…

Nothing!  She rode her little a$$ back on the bus he paid for and then split.  He says via his MySpace page he hasn’t seen her since.  Duh!  She’s got to get her party beat back after being off it for two weeks. 

I almost thought maybe this would make them think about their lives and reconcile.  Reconcile!  I must have lost my mind for a few minutes before I realized the Moakler/Barker drama would continue.  Forever.

More pictures after the skip…

Both men have said they are never flying again.  Do you blame them?  I wouldn’t want to fly either!  But how are they going to get around to concerts and such?  I guess we’ll have to wait and see.  In the meantime, both are still healing but will continue treatment in an LA hospital.  Travis won’t be able to walk for a while since the burns on his feet are extensive. 

DJ AM made an appearance at a memorial service for Chris Baker yesterday afternoon in LA. 

Shanna Moakler is still by Travis’ side and committed to helping him recover.  I sense a reconciliation there.  Any bets?

After being released from Doctors Hospital in August, Georgia, DJ AM wrote on his Facebook status update: ”Adam Goldstein is the luckiest guy alive.”

While the cause of the crash is still to be determined, a blow tire during takeoff is most likely to blame.

more photos after the jump…

As reports by TMZ that Dr. Fred Mullins, medical director of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, Georgia said both Travis and Adam suffered second and third-degree burns. Mullins said Barker’s torso and Adam’s hands and part of his head were burned.

People reports that Travis’ ex, Shanna Moakler has flown in to be with Travis. Shanna’s mother said they haven’t told Travis’ kids yet.

Former Playboy Playmate Shanna Moakler, 33, was married to Barker from 2004 until earlier this year. They have two children: son Landon, 4, and daughter Alabama, 2.

We wish them a full and speedy recovery. Remember to live the presence.

The plane was headed to Van Nuys, California shortly before midnight on Friday. The plane never made it in the air and instead crashed off the runway.

Wow, if this isn’t EVERYONE’S worst fear. We wish a speedy recovery to DJ AM and Travis Barker.

more O’Day donning FSAS after the jump…

This is Aubrey’s sexiest photo shoot yet!! Check out the photos below. Wow, O’Day gets really racy promoting FSAS, doesn’t she? Somehow O’Day reminds me of Christina Aguilera. Don’t you think they look alike?

Catch Aubrey and Danity Kane on the new season of Making The Band 4 premiering Monday, Jan 28 at 10pm on MTV.

I say Moakler and Barker should just stay together so we don’t have to keep track of them forever breaking up and making up, right? Do you see them making it last this time?

A source insists that this time is for good, we’ll see. Perhaps now if Paris Hilton is still interested in Barker, she stands a good chance!

Do you think Travis and Shanna will rekindle again? Or can you see Paris with Travis?
